Biggestgeekever Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) I'm looking at the 93 oscars, and I had forgotten that Schindler's List didn't winning either BA categories. I'm too young to know if that was considered an upset. As great as he is in The Fugitive, TLJ going over Ralph Fiennes is pretty weird. Tom Hanks winning isn't very surprising; gay always wins at the oscars. And LOL at Mrs. Doubtfire winning Best Makeup. I guess that's sort of whatever but still.

TLJ was considered the sentimental fave. Ralph Fiennes was the young up-and-comer, and I think people figured he'd get another chance later. (FWIW, I think Fiennes' performance towers over TLJ's, as awesome as TLJ was and still is.) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so it needs to more than double its current gross to be in the same conversation as Titanic. And that's fine. TFA's run is astoundingly strong. Whether it ends up as the most impressive run in history or not won't change that. I think over 60m, 3D share is rather low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 There is no point in extrapolating legs of SW7 based on Avatar. Avatar was a different kind of monster. On the other hand, SW7 is basically mirroring the LOTR2 run at 3x level Day: SW7 - LOTR2 - Multi Fri (w/m): 62.1 - 19.2 = 3.23x Sat: 68.3 - 22.75 = 3.00x Sun: 60.55 - 20.0 = 3.03x Mon: 40.1 - 13.5 = 2.97x Tue: 37.4 - 7.8 = 4.80x Wed: 38.0 - 12.4 = 3.06x Thu: 27.4 - 15.45 = 1.77x Week 1: 333.85 - 111.15 = 3.00x Fri: 49.3 - 16.9 = 2.92x Sat: 56.7 - 17.2 = 3.30x Sun: 43.15 - 14.8 = 2.92x Mon: 31.3 - 10.1 = 3.10x Week 2 (so far): 180.55 - 59.0 = 3.06x (The fluctuation in dailies is due to Christmas falling on different day of the week.) LOTR2 made 129.6m after Monday. If SW7 continues to be at 3x level, it will make further 388m after Monday, which means 572 + 388 = 960M finish. That's why 1B is not locked yet. For 1B to happen, the requires multiplier from here on would be 3.3x. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rman823 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Finished AOTC and ROTS tonight. I would give Clones a 6/10 and Sith an 8/10. Both were better than TPM and decent movies but still not as good as the originals. Thought ROTS was kind of slow but it really picked up after Windu is killed. Glad to see the prequels end on a high note. Can anyone tell me if The Clone Wars tv series is any good ? Really interested in seeing what happened between 2 and 3.

BadAtGender Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Looking back at past non-Avatar/Titanic blockbusters in December, they tend to hit their halfway point around day 10. If TFA does that, it'll finish in the 1-1.1b range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrestrial Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Disney’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ appears to have demolished another record tonight. According to estimates, its total gross rose to an estimated $600M+ on Tuesday after posting another $29.3M. The franchise fan favorite dropped a mere 6% from Monday. Hot on Avatar‘s tail, it is now the fastest film to $600M and, at this rate, should hit $700M this weekend and log fastest to that threshold as well. .... http://deadline.com/2015/12/star-wars-600-million-hateful-eight-tuesday-previews-1201674026/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see the prequels end on a high note. Can anyone tell me if The Clone Wars tv series is any good ? Really interested in seeing what happened between 2 and 3. It's generally enjoyable, although it's rather uneven. Some of the characters and plotlines are great, others are more lackluster. Personally, I found pretty much anything with Ahsoka Tano to be really compelling. Many of the Clone-focused stories (but not all*) are also pretty good. *The Netflix only fifth season doesn't have Ahsoka and I really didn't care for it, even the Clone-centric episodes. 17 minutes ago, VenomXXR said: And off by at least $10 million lol I probably should be more surprised than I am that y'all missed a box office joke.

Yeah Anchorage is lacking in snow this year and its been pretty warn compared to the usual as well. Minor flurries here as well but I want a true dumping, grass in the middle of the winter is odd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggestgeekever Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Needs $52M the next two days to beat Jurassic World's calendar gross record. Avatar drops from $29.3M give it $53M, so knowing how some milestones have gone, it'll probably miss it by like 200k.

If it opens it summer, it could open bigger (but A:IW2 comes out earlier that month, doesn't it?), but will it even have legs against all the summer competition?
