rustyspoons89 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The thing is getting so much repeat business. All my co workers were talking about how many times they had each seen SW. (Average was 2-3 some had seen it 4 times) all have plans to continue seeing it. Nuts... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsurprisingly, that's what it takes to become the highest grossing movie of all time. Which it will have domestically. Worldwide though... that's a whole other story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXR vs XXR Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 $95-$105 million is the target. Under that would be viewed as a bad hold based on the first 4 days of the week. Anything over that would be gravy on the train to $1 billion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it can get there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie was only good enough to see once for me, but I'm glad it's getting good business. Off topic, but is anyone else having the problem of only being able to view one page in a given thread, and accessing any other page gives you a blank page? It's really irritating and hindering my enjoyment of this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Given current trajectory of Disney not fudging, we'll be 100k under Jurassic World from today's numbers. And have a 99.5m 3rd weekend 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it can get there. That will take a lot IMO. After this weekend it will be at $750 million. Avatar after this weekend did another $400 million. Let's say TFA can match that, we're at $1.15 billion domestic. OS is going about 10% ahead of domestic right now minus China. If that holds up we're at $1.265 OS. China is a wildcard but most estimates seem to put it at $150-$200 million. With all that we're at roughly $2.6 billion. It would still need to find another $200 million somewhere. Maybe China will explode much higher than expectations, but I think the worldwide record is going to fall about 10-15% short. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daxtreme Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Anyway, I think we can all conclude that this movie has some real legs, even if these are the holidays, a movie of this magnitude with such staying power has never been seen before. Just for this fact alone it's worth it to follow its progress. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking Fri : 38m (+65%) Sat: 38m (--) Sun: 24m (-37%) Wknd: 100m How is it too optimistic? It's not staying flat Saturday.....it'll jump by at least 3% imo.

Anything over that would be gravy on the train to $1 billion i don't think anything is going to be considered a bad hold this weekend. It's cruising past Avatar on Tuesday at the latest. I think regardless of what it makes this weekend, it will be viewed as anything but bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickitaly Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 RTH gave us 28m for his Wed estimate and it ended being 28.08 So, this could go up a little with official estimates Doesn't matter, the most important thing is 23mln are better than 18mln someone wrote about [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 utilizzando Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after the Great Forum Collapse of Last Sunday, I believe anything that starts with an 8 or less this weekend causes widespread pandemonium! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 I've seen it 5X and I could go right now and buy a very good bootlegged copy for $5.00. But I won't. I will go to the theater probably another 3-5X and plop down the $12 each time....it's that damn good. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday will only jump if the Friday increase is a bit muted. I see these scenarios: Fri: 34 sat: 36 Fri: 36 sat: 37 (Low end - 96M weekend) Fri: 38 sat: 38 (Mid range - 100M weekend) Fri: 40 sat: 39 (High End - 104M weekend) Fri: 42 sat: 40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The drop has more to do with the fact that this year might be a little bit different than 2009, or the demographic is a little bit different than Avatar's. Friday jump could be muted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
