From the Bay Area dude, my family is very heavy cal Berkeley & I joined mojo long before I was a student there.

 

Ah, cool. I've got the same basic background (parents had a lot of Cal connections, though they didn't go to school there). I even went to school in the Pac NW too -- drove through Eugene many a time.

well not condoning talking about the actual game breakdown, but the games themselves will be a factor in the boxoffice tonight so it was inevitable that they will come up

Yeah, this is the one day Ed you are going to have to deal w/ it. Sorry man.

It does seem steep but a possibility. Since New Years Eve normally sees 20% or more drops, add in the College Football Playoff it could impact movies. CFP starts at 4pm (Eastern) and another game starts at 8pm ET, so unless a ton people go this morning then yeah.  If it does drop that hard hopefully it makes it back up with a bigger than "normal"  Friday bump.

Most movies see less  than a 20% drop when NYE falls on a tues-thur. With a few percent daily burn factored in over smaller grossers, then just over 20% sounds right. There are games every year on the 31st. Nothing different here.

there's quite a big difference between no name nothing bowls and this year having the National Championship playoff semi finals on today.  It's like saying the AFC and NFC championship games in the NFL are just preseason games

Thank you!

 

And  

 

The perfect time to join, or?

I only hope you like it too when the normal BOs will be back.

But the Forum has so many areas, much to find if interested also in non-movies themes, International, China, ... or many many more areas 

Thank you. 

 

From the UK myself so international B.O is great to follow (Especially China these days) but Domestic box office has me most interested.

 

Naturally films I'm passionate about I have the deepest resonance & interest in financially.

 

I registered the other day hoping I'd overcome the board issues but now I've stuck my neck out... I may just join in from time to time.

@GiantCALBears and @redfirebird2008 are right. College football is gonna be huge today, I forgot about that. It's the semi-finals with high-profile teams from the east coast, South, and Midwest. 

You cheering for MSU today tele?

Actually, this year is different. Used to be New Years Eve was when unimportant bowl games were played -- all the prestigious and famous traditional bowls were played on New Years Day or later. But this year -- for the first time -- the college football semifinal games are being played today. Last year -- the first year the playoff system was in place -- the semifinal games got huge ratings (although they were played on New Years Day). This year is the first time they're being played on NYE. We should see an impact -- only question is how much.

very good time to join in and let me also say welcome @DCpete

[Dementeleus]

Btw, we'll start a game thread and pin it for the day, to minimize the football talk in other threads. Discussing football in terms of how it'll effect box office is fair game, though. 

[baumer]

I realize Tele is talking college and he is the full hot order here, so if he is talking it, I guess it stands......but is it not possible to take it to the CCC and just keep this box office talk?

For some perspective, #StarWars #TheForceAwakens needs to hit about $800M domestic in order to sell as many tix as PhantomMenace.

Sisters is going to one of those 75-80 million dollar hits that we look back on in 5 years and have no recollection of it but somehow it put up good numbers.

I thought the movie was a lot of fun so the good legs over the holidays don't surprise me. 

[druv10]

As for Avatar+32%, it's around 274M. The number for NYE to look for is 19.46M, anything above it continues the gain.

There will only be BTFA (Before The Force Awakens) and ATFA (After The Force Awakens). Unfortunately for Sisters, it's DTFA (During The Force Awakens), a time when all other films were forgotten.
