JonathanLB Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Well I have a ticket to TFA Saturday so if the Saturday total after Friday is very close, I will see it Sunday and Monday. You can bet I'll be part of the gross the day it passes Avatar. I can't wait! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy if I get it to see it a 2nd time in January (really hopping for next week). Here in my secluded (?) area not so simple, especially as I want to see it in the original language again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Beating Jurassic World would be the icing on the cake quite honestly. Literally pipped on the last day of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell more did you want from it and please, spare me the whole "acting and dialogue" crap cause no one was seeing a movie like JURASSIC WORLD for that.. You want a movie with those 2 criteria, go watch The SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, not a movie like JURASSIC WORLD for the acting and dialogue... I don't hate it, but I thought it was totally safe as the calendar year #1. But now that Star Wars has got so close, for it not to beat JW on the last day of the year would be be a bit of a shame IMO. Also, I don't think that's ever happened before, so it would be cool if it happened. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokila Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Have to wonder what Disney must be thinking. They spent half a decade building up their Marvel Universe to the culminating event of the Avengers in 2012. It was huge. But their shiny new IP called Star Wars beat that in 13 days. I just hope they realize the value in Star Wars is less=more. I am fine with as many spinoffs as they think they can sell (especially if they start broadening the galaxy with them), but keep the Saga trilogies at once a decade at a min. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23IsEverywhere Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I think that Avatar first run ($749m) goes down on Sunday and its total DOM falls on Monday. Happy birthday Baumer Happy New Years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does this guy get his info? He can see things before they happen ....... like Anakin! Seriously though, I've never seen same day estimate so well done. Bravo sir! As for the 23 million gross, that is pretty damn good for New Years Eve. Im still really wondering what it will be for this weekend though. Does RTH give predictions ahead of time? I want his thoughts on the weekend numbers. I'm hoping for 125 million. Too much to hope for? Do not question the ways of the master Rth, he has his own ways... 125M? Way too much pal, It will collect anywhere between 95-105M. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it's ok man, no worries. Actually I will explain it to you if you don't mind. So Regal on Saturdays gives a special ticket (laminated and whatnot) to the first 500 people who see it in IMAX that day. Last week, I got #1 of 500 for the day. It was Kylo Ren. The first week was BB-8. These sell on eBay for about $12 each. I am not selling mine, don't get me wrong, but that's my reason for the Saturday morning viewings. They are doing it for the first 4 weeks of release. I want them all. Dude, you can totally make fun of me, HAHA, it's alright! I'm a crazy. I'm a fanatic. I'm one of "those" die-hard Star Wars fans who sees the movies a million times. I don't judge someone for making fun of the fans like me. I just love the movies and that's how I am. You are very nice not to be like, "Dude, get a life." We all have things we love. I have a wonderful and tolerant girlfriend of 4.5 years and own my own company, so I'm super lucky. But I'm a freak! I'd be the last one to judge you for giving me a bit of crap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of respect I watched JW last night and really enjoyed it! Again. I bought in Blu-ray and saw it in theaters. Very fun movie. There's nothing wrong with enjoying JW. It's a really, really fun movie. Any other year it would be #1 for sure, easily. I love Star Wars, though. It's nothing personal. Still love JW. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanLB Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Just now, BKB IS CAPTAIN AMERICA said: Yeah, that really wasn't so much directed at you intentionally as it is a few around here who aren't very high on the movie in itself.. You couldn't ask for a better rampaging dinosaur movie with actual carnage in it.. That's excellent.. Now, I'm not sure how they can make a sequel work other than introducing more marine dinosaurs, something like a MEGOLODON would be cool if they spent some $$$$$$ on it and took it seriously, but even then, Eli Roth will have his crack at it coming soon and hopefully, it has a sizable budget... I think they did a great job! There are SO many funny moments with Chris Pratt. LOL my god I was cracking up last night. People around here are way too harsh on Jurassic World. It was really FUN. What more do you want out of it? It's a dinosaur film. It's not meant to be a huge thoughtful film, just a ton of fun. Did it not deliver that? I think it did. I love that part so much where Bryce Dallas Howard ties her clothing and whatnot and Pratt is like, "... what does that mean? I don't get it. What is this?" She's like, "I'm ready." Hahaha. It's a ton of fun. Not every movie needs to be the Second Coming with the most amazing message known to man. Some movies can just be a ton of fun. Especially in theaters. The movie looked and sounded wonderful. I'm curious what anyone else wanted out of it? I very much enjoyed Jurassic World. Am I happy SW is doing so awesome? Sure, of course I am. I'm a Star Wars fan! Did I root like heck or JW? You better bet I did. I was so impressed, happy, and surprised at the success. You can root for many franchises at once. You don't have to be a total homer lol. I really liked the film. Is it one of the greatest films ever? Well, no... but did it need to be?? It was a lot of fun. That should be totally fine... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronJimbo Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Holy shit, it just doesn't stop! $23m on new years eve is absolutely ludicrous. Avatar made 14.7m on this new eve, then increased 71% to Friday. Star Wars has been out pacing it so lets say 75%, then if we take this number with the original 23m we hit very close to $40m, by the end of the weekend star wars will hit just under 800m. After the 3rd week Avatar had made only 40% of it's total gross, it's safe to say Star Wars is following this trend which means it will hit 1.8B DOM by the end of this run, now if we do the same for Star Wars over seas run and mutliply in the BB8 factor we can evalutate that it will make something close to 23 trillion dollars.

baumer Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 @RogueLeader @Rth doesn't estimate per say. He has data, live data. So yes he estimates in a way, but it's more of an extrapolation that a prediction. No one knows who he works for but we appreciate everything he does for us here.
