It'll soften the Sunday drop (but should be under this upcoming weekend) and it should increase MLK Monday over next Monday. Overall, movies will drop softer than normal due to the holiday.

In theory those were just estimates until today Fox updated Joy & Alvin. WB & Sony are still with the 000 ending estimates. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I don't see how SW stays above 10 today. In fact, I think Tele is right. It will fall to below 8 mill, probably around 7.1-7.3. But even if it were to follow a poor example like Hobbit BOF, you'd get something like this: Monday: 7.3 Tues: 7.95 Wed: 5.95 Thur: 5.5 Friday: 10.5 Sat: 18 Sun: 12 That's a 40 million dollar weekend. WOM is not nearly on the same level as BOF, so this scenario is unlikely. Granted if it did come in softly like this, a billion is dead and it would come in closer to about 950. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS's $89M week-end was an opening, not 4th week-end. To count it as 4th week-end is cheating, because it wasn't a wide release, and undermines the real achievements here - huge movies having gargantuan 4th week-ends like Avatar, Titanic, and soon TFA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrestrial Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) @#ED Screendaily usually reports those earlier as the others, as in at Thursday after the weekend = generally speaking I guess Disney or others will report in between again, so fingers crossed we get earlier OS actuals Edited January 4, 2016 by terrestrial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrestrial Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The space saga finished the New Year’s weekend with a stunning $90.2 million — or nearly $2 million above Sunday’s estimates — to lift its 17-day domestic total to $742.2 million, including $21.5 million on Sunday. It trails the six-year-old “Avatar” record of $760.5 million by only $18.3 million. “The Force Awakens” also demolished the domestic record for a third weekend in a row, finishing 46% above the previous record of $68.5 million for “Avatar.” they mention the $96m plus for the OS weekend, but no details http://variety.com/2016/film/news/star-wars-box-office-avatar-record-1201671141/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGPOP Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Comparing Avatar's drop and TFA. I think movie gross $8.7 million today in its 18th day. Monday - $8.7 million Tuesday - $7.7 million Wednesday - $7 million Thursday - $6 million Friday - $12.1 million Saturday - $18.0 million Sunday - $12.8 million $42.9 million weekend (-52.5% drop) $72.3 million week $814.5 million at that moment. Also, movie just finished another unbreakable "record" 17 straight days grossing at least $20+ million. Edited January 4, 2016 by VGPOP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAtGender Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Here's a fun list. Avatar $312,128,206 Titanic $188,215,666 Meet the Fockers $125,979,665 Night at the Museum $102,351,320 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring $96,698,725 Sherlock Holmes $95,498,566 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King $94,686,068 The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers $93,561,514 Cast Away $94,337,073 Frozen $89,854,639 Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel $88,567,715 Catch Me If You Can $85,924,324 Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol $80,700,258 Those are all the films which had their wide release in December (or earlier in the case of Frozen) and still earned at least $80m in January. TFA's already #10th on the list. It'll be interesting to see how high it goes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Did actuals over Christmas change at all for TFA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokila Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I could see 8 million today. JW made 17million its 3rd Sunday, TFA made around 21.5 its 3rd sunday. JW fell to 6.5 million despite it being the summer. Part of me thinks Sunday was somewhat depressed by people not wanting to go to a movie the last day of holiday break, so we already had a portion of the drop. That is how I see 9-10 million, but if it falls like JW (or worse since its Jan), I could easily see 7-8 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubes Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The final run: Now TFA is performing less Avatar-like and more like a normal blockbuster. It's still due another $200 million plus, especially since it'll probably hold on to it's PLF and IMAX screens for another 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
