Compared to the week before too? Last tuesday it was at $41.3M, now $37.3M, not even 10% drop. For comparison, domestic dropped 21% between the 2 tuesdays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Shorts Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'd love SW to be over $10m on Monday so it takes consecutive days over $10m record from Avatar also. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildphantom Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I can't see the movie missing $1 billion OS, without China. It'll be at about $800 million on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrestrial Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Box Office: ‘Star Wars’ Rockets Past ‘Iron Man 3’ to $1.2 Billion, Hits $600 Million in U.S. “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has added $67.2 million on Tuesday to push its worldwide gross to a stunning $1.23 billion after two weeks. The seventh Star Wars film is now the ninth highest box office performer on a worldwide basis, eclipsing “Iron Man 3” at $1.22 billion. “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” set a new record Tuesday as it reached $600 million domestically faster than any other movie in industry history. It needed just 12 days to do so — one-third of the 36-day mark held by “Jurassic World.” U.S. grosses for Tuesday totaled $29.5 million, lifting the 12-day box office to $600.9 million. International grosses for Tuesday amounted to $37.7 million, pushing the 14-day foreign total to $627.4 million. Thanks to the space saga, the U.S. box office has hit the $11 billion mark for 2015 for the first time. With two days left in 2015, the final number will hit about $1.1 billion. The seventh “Star Wars” film may catch Universal’s “Jurassic World,” the top 2015 grosser at $652 million, by the end of the year. “The Force Awakens” is already the fifth-biggest domestic grosser of all time, trailing “Avatar” at $760 million, “Titanic” at $658 million, “Jurassic World” at $652 million and “Marvel’s The Avengers” at $623 million. “The Force Awakens” has a shot at becoming the top film on the all-time worldwide list, which is topped by “Avatar” at $2.78 billion, “Titanic” at $2.19 billion, “Jurassic World” at $1.67 billion, “Marvel’s The Avengers” at $1.52 billion and “Furious 7” at $1.515 billion. http://variety.com/2015/film/news/star-wars-box-office-passes-iron-man-3-1201669558/ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamblinRed Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 So after 12 days it is at 5th all-time DOM (behind TA which it will pass today) - and if you limit to just initial run it passed Titanic as well. 33rd all-time adjusted DOM (right behind Sleeping Beauty - should be between 18-21 by end of weekend) 9th all-time Worldwide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, didn't know that. However, they did have some countries opening in that week. The Hobbit 1, for example, opened in Australia on Dec 26, Iceland Dec 26, Pakistan Dec 28, and Vietnam Dec 28. Not much, but still... Pretty much the same pattern applies for Hobbit 2 and Hobbit 3 , give or take 1 country.

Lordmandeep Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 In terms of ticket sales it has passed some big hits like rots and sm2 today Will pass Rotk today dmc Thursday. Will pass all time hits like sm and shred 2 by sunday. By sunday only avatar tdk and Tpm would have sold more tickets then Sw7 since titanic. Pointless to compare to films beforehand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrek 2 very likely sold more tickets than TDK and is somewhere in the same neighborhood as Avatar (north of 75m). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it's so hard to compare foreign holds Sure, but especially the first Hobbit is pretty close to the release pattern of TFA, with the exception of Australia (the other markets are so small). That's why i don't quite expect TFA's 3rd weekend to be bigger than its 2nd, unlike Hobbit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAtGender Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 9 hours ago, RogueLeader said: So what? Titanic never sold as many tickets as the original SW either. If we're going by that distinction then it changes the game up completely. If we're talking first runs, Titanic definitely sold more tickets than ANH. I believe it's something like 128m to 99m. The several subsequent releases push ANH up over that, but Titanic remains the best single run for a film in history. When Titanic broke the box office record, it did so by topping the previous record holder (ET) by 66%. TFA will have to get to 1.25b to do the same. This isn't to say that TFA's run isn't impressive. It looks like it'll be the only film besides Titanic and ET to sell 100m tickets in a single run. And like Titanic, it's going to best the previous record holder by $200m. This is an astoundingly successful box office run, and it's definitely top five in history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know much about how old movies' box offices happened though, information is scarce and BOM only has 35 years of History, 80 years are missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) The problem I have about adjusting is we use 3d shares from opening weekend across an entire run of a film. Issue is for example films like Avengers jw ad Sw7 made 100s of million after thier weekend. Therefore I always notice 2d film get adjusted up like crazy while 3d film get adjusted down massively always.
