Fudging is different than over-estimating, though. With the latter, you're just over-estimating (either innocently or to snag the Sunday headlines). With fudging, you're actually reporting an actual that's technically inaccurate, and you play with the actual site over the next few days to cover. 

 

hence the reason I added the lines above the charts.

I think people got used to throw around the term fudge via The Incident ($100m) and repeatedly overestimation of OW

= too many seem to have the impression about the actuals fudging being something way more often happening than it seem to be (rarely).

Titanic would have done at least 1200m today with inflation (incl. 3D, IMAX etc).

 

No way.

If you add one detail out of another time... you have to look into all differences between those times and add them too.

... I'm still not sure it won't pass Avatar WW, it hasn't even opened in China yet. 

 

I don't think it will pass especially bcs I don't think it will earn there as much as some seem to think

[ecstasy]

Funny when JW beat Avengers nobody was ready for that. So factions for either side had no time to prepare.

Nah, it still has a decent chance.

Not really in the mood to compare blue dicks to Jedi dicks. So please take your discussion to the appropriate threads.

Nothing much to say. JW defeated Avengers DOM and WW. Both were released just 3 years apart, so no inflation nonsense, and both had 3D and IMAX 3D. And even with Star Wars destroying both, both still had amazing runs.

TFA is about to push the Star Wars

franchise above all the James Bond movies' total gross too soon

For the first time, Titanic was beaten DOM-wise, and finally bumped down to 3rd place.

 

Never seen any other movie do that, before.

 

Your comments really amuse me

Oh fucking no

So, um, it looks like Chipmunks has a chance at cracking 100 m DOM.

 

I doubt H8 can leg it past there though.

NORTH AMERICA: Early Weekend Estimates: 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Claims New Year's Record, Tops 'Titanic' & 'Jurassic World' for #2 All-Time w/ $686M Total; 'Daddy's Home' Adds Strong $29M Sophomore Frame; 'The Hateful Eight' Eyes Modest $16.7M

Please note that some studios remain closed for the holiday weekend and are only reporting estimates from the past week. Actuals will be reported on Monday, January 4.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens added another record to its files yesterday with $34.46 million, the best New Year's Day gross by any movie in history (besting Avatar's $25.3 million by 36 percent). That brings Force's domestic total up to $686.43 million in just 15 days, sending it past Jurassic World ($652.3 million) and Titanic ($658.7 million) to become the second highest grossing North American release of all-time.

Although the increase from Thursday to Friday was around 50 percent (compared to Avatar's 71.5 percent on the same New Year's Day Friday in 2010), matinee business could balance things out over the weekend before schools go back in session on Monday. With comparisons falling somewhere between those of Avatar and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The Force Awakens seems to be forming its own daily pattern at this point. Its third weekend haul is targeting an incredible $95 million, which would best Avatar's third weekend record $68.5 million by a very wide margin.

The ultimate stateside hurdle for Star Wars to climb, of course, is Avatar's $760.5 million lifetime gross ($749.8 million of which came before a short re-release window at the end of its run) to become the highest grossing movie in domestic history. Based on a $95 million weekend, that means Awakens should be close to $747 million total by the end of Sunday. Barring an unexpectedly strong Saturday/Sunday combination, Star Wars will claim the all-time domestic crown early-to-mid next week.
