LinksterAC Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 As someone who really enjoys both movies, I can't understand the Avatar vs. TFA fanboi war. As a well adjusted adult male with a life, I can't understand any fanboi war. TFA is having a phenomenal run, just like Avatar did. I'm here for the history and the analysis of the data, not the weird dick measuring contest. I agree it should be moved elsewhere. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 This is also the franchise of all franchises. We saw it happened with TPM. History is just repeating itself. Make EPISODE X in year 2030 and you'll see the same response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantCALBears Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 6 hours ago, Baumer Fett said: Yeqa, but keep in mind, no one thought a billion was even possible...not even with the 247 OW. It was us, the forum members, myself included, who started saying it was going to happen. An opening weekend record holder has never had more than a 3.5X. SW is going to destroy this number too (865 mill). It could hit a billion but lets say it stalls out at 950....that's a 3.86X off a record opening weekend....another record that probably won't be touched for another decade or two. I've said this multiple times, there actually were a couple WS firms whose analysts predicted $1b/$2.5b WW. Maybe no one thought it was possible at the beginning of the year but after presales data started coming out there were plenty of massive predictions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrestrial Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Forecast summary, (for the nebes: those sites do them at different week days, so they have different knowledge about recent actuals. Deadline's jump sometimes more than once per day, they adjust a lot) SW 7 BOM $104.4m BO.com $95m (earlier in the week they had it at $98m) DL $90-$94m Daddy's Home BOM $26.34m BO.com $29m DL $28-$29m The Hateful Eight BOM $24.9m (I think that was before the report of the burning film roll appeared) BO.com $16.7m DL $17m Joy BOM $12.76m BO.com $10.5m DL $10.4-$11m Sisters BOM $11.64m BO.com $12.6m DL %12.1-$12.5m ...

I can move back & forth the timeline however you want, it was always going to be huge & unlike Avatar & Titanic was the one film when the Lucasfilm/Disney deal was announced people could reasonably say the domestic crown could go down.
