I took into account that SW is making almost double of Avatars dailies. Well your numbers aren't unrealistic, but hopefully it's more of a worst case scenario for the rest of the weekend. Not that those numbers would be awful for TFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) So for fun I looked at Mojo to what TFA would have grossed OW and after 10 days in the years a SW film was released: 2005: 184/402 2002: 167/364 1999: 146/318 1983: 90/197 1980: 77/168 1977: 64/139 Edited December 29, 2015 by DAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greylemur Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Just realized I never actually "said hello." Found these forums via Google when I wanted to track Avengers back in 2012, and have filed back in for lurking visits every now and then since. The byplay between forum regulars has always been a big draw, but primarily it seemed like I would get the most accurate BO numbers earliest here. This Star Wars run has been so incredible and (IMO) unpredictable (plus that whole snowed in thing...can you say CABIN FEVER?!) that I just had to start an actual account. My hope and plan is to be gainfully employed early this year so that I can get a lovely metallic account--running out of likes is getting annoying Edited December 29, 2015 by Greylemur Typo 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#ED Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 We should make a pool for this weekends number. Perhaps, 10 people, $5 donations. Closest to picking the weekend correctly wins, the 9 other people donate. That's $45 towards the forum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelestialFairyIX Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 If those estimates hold true, then it'll be somewhere around $720 million by this upcoming Sunday and it will need $280 million more to reach $1 billion... that's a lot to ask for but if any film can pull it off, it's Star Wars! $1 billion doestic, here we come! By the way, I was wondering, does, for example, the 2016 gross of 2015 films go towards 2015 or 2016? I was thinking that the yearly gross would only be for the calendar year and everything else made outside of that year would account towards that year's cumulative gross and not the year it came out in theaters.

Which is why it's now following a different path than Avatar. Although I don't think anyone expected Avatar legs. However, legs of 4x is still possible.

Yeah it's a good point & ROTK was released on a Wednesday, the 2nd Monday drops were very similar that's why I wanted to use it. Think longer term the holds will be a lot more similar than Avatar obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
