#ED Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Refresh for updates Early Friday PM industry figures show Disney’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens making $35M today, raising its cume through 15 days to $687M. What does this mean? It means that Force Awakens bypassed the No. 2 and No. 3 all-time domestic grossing titles Titanic ($658.7M) and Jurassic World ($652.27M) in the same day. By end of Sunday, Force Awakens’ total will stand at $744.8M, just $15.7M short of Avatar‘s all-time domestic record of $760.5M. Should these figures hold up, this would put Force Awakens in a position to own the all-time crown by end of Monday. Worse case scenario – Tuesday. http://deadline.com/2016/01/weekend-box-office-star-wars-force-awakens-hateful-eight-new-years-2016-1201674917/ 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BATMOOSEMIKE Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Didn't some people in the Thursday thread say this had to get 40M today to make 100M weekend? So 100M weekend is still likely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) If it follows Avatar we're looking at a 93M or so weekend. Edited January 2, 2016 by WrathOfHan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Only a 55% jump? Hmm. Those of us expecting an Avatar jump didn't think about just how much 35M on NYD is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 That's just a little over a 50% bump. So in retrospect or comparing it to avatar it doesn't look like it's that big of a bump. However for a film on its third weekend to make between 90 and 100 million dollars it's really kind of mind blowing. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 It's definitely not making 100M+ this weekend with 35M today. It's still only 9:15 in the west coast , I don't see it going any lower so if it goes any higher, I would expect about 36M or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueLeader Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 100 million doesn't seem totally out of the question does it? Plus, this could be a lowball figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
