I mean, do you really expect it to only gross $25-30M Mon-Thur? As has been said, it's the difference between a holiday and a non holiday week. I expect it to gross around $35m Mon-Thu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Unless I'm doing my calculations wrong, if TFA follows the first Hobbit from here out, it will make 1.04 billion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Joy is probably the worst movie I seen in 2015. A total mess. Humans don't act like Joys family. They certainly don't speak like that. Jennifer Lawrence was miscast too. Doesn't convince as a mother of 2. Plus they didn't age her for the later years.

Why do you assume an average of $13.5m for weekdays during a school/work week? I try to follow your thought process 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyxx Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 8 hours ago, #ED2-D2 said: 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/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyxx Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 8 hours ago, JonathanLB said: Frankly ever part of this movie's box office performance has been disappointing. Like what happened to Deadline's $130-145M opening day? That was a huge disappointment when it was "only" $119M. Then we have Saturday, again, couldn't even beat Jurassic World. Let's not even get started on the weekend as a whole, not even $250M? I mean what is this Paddington 2? Jesus. Then we have the mid-week, *sigh*, it started promising enough with a solid $40M Monday then it was just completely downhill from there and couldn't even make more than $40M any other day of the week. And we're not at the worst part. It completely stunk up the joint on Christmas weekend by disappointing absolutely everyone with a pathetic $149M. I mean seriously? $160M would have been kind of meh, given everyone thought it could beat JW's OW on the second weekend because of Christmas, but NOPE, couldn't even break $150M. Then we really knew the sucker was out of steam when it only managed $30M one day this past week, again on Monday, before this horribly disappointing and frankly downright craptastic estimate of $35M on Friday. Seriously? At this rate it could take 19 days to beat Avatar. How is that anything but an astonishing disappointment? At this rate it won't even be the 5th biggest movie ever adjusted for inflation. Wake me up when we get another Gone With the Wind. This turd bucket of a box office performance is about as exciting as watching paint dry. lol, sarcasm... clearly. Just in case it wasn't obvious. Should've left out that part to see how many humorless people replied. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without any awards recognition to propel it (outside of a likely lone nomination for Lawrence), yes. To the surprise of no one, The Hateful Eight's grosses are looking to be more Kill Bill than Django or Basterds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
