They don't even care about the 2 month delay the movie is having in pretty much every market. Star Wars screwed them, the January release date isn't so bad.

Poseidon Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 1 minute ago, CJohn said: KFP is in January because it is a good release date... in China, and they want to take advantage of that. America isn't a priority. The rest of the world is only receiving the movie in March when the Easter holidays happen. Who cares why it is playing in January? "The nut Job" did a ridiculous 25m over the 4d-weekend in January. And "The lego Movie" opened only a week later and did what? Close to 70m opening? After the movies conquered September and October in the last couple of years, it's time to put more biggies in January. Hell, KFP is the only kids movie in 2 full months. Yeah, there is SW with 250m left in the tank, but holdovers? Alvin is dead, Peanuts dead. Nothing, nothing for families. KFP might very well surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Not only will star wars in a billion but I think it gets closer to 1.1 billion. The weekends are going to start being pretty huge. The weekday numbers are going to be much smaller of course but this is definitely going to be a big weekend movie. I wouldn't be surprised to see some sub 30% drops coming up after next weekend. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah....very true....but still, either movie should have moved to another date, IMO. If Hangover 2 wasn't in the same weekend, then KFP2 would have opened at around $50M+ OW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it will stabilize after that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrestrial Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 and DL adjusted AGAIN their weekend number With $88.3M-$90M Weekend, ‘Force Awakens’ Will Claim All-Time Domestic Crown This Week Saturday, 11:55 PM and Sunday 8 AM write-thru: If estimates hold, by tomorrow at this time, Star Wars: The Force Awakens will have pocketed another $200M+ in one week’s time to bring its total domestic gross to date to around $740M to $743M. This is a very strong weekend, all in, as Rentrak reports that its “neck and neck” with the record $220M weekend set when Avatar was in its third weekend and Sherlock Holmes was in its second weekend. http://deadline.com/2016/01/weekend-box-office-star-wars-force-awakens-hateful-eight-new-years-2016-1201674917/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerMike Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 40% drop isn't bad. Imagine it will drop between 50-55% next week and start stabilizing again. 35-40% drops throughout January after next weekend. 1B is still in play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think KFP3 could be the the more successful animated hit in months since HT2. We were about to say "since The Good Dinosaur"....but since TGD underperformed way lower than what everyone expected....this is the new favorite.

terrestrial Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 BO.com Sunday Update: Disney's Star Wars: The Force Awakens continued to lead the box office with ease this weekend with an estimated third weekend take of $88.3 million. That represented the largest third weekend gross of all-time, as The Force Awakens topped the previous $68.49 million record of Avatar by $19.81 million and 29 percent. Thanks in part to continued strong word of mouth and to the New Year's holiday, The Force Awakens was down a solid 41 percent from last weekend. Star Wars: The Force Awakens has grossed a massive $740.27 million in 17 days of release. That already makes the film the second highest grossing film of all-time unadjusted domestically, as the film zoomed past the respective $658.67 million and $652.27 million lifetime grosses of Titanic and Jurassic World. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is now just $20.24 million away from surpassing the $760.51 million lifetime gross of Avatar to become the highest grossing film of all-time domestically. When adjusting for ticket price inflation, The Force Awakens is currently in 18th place on the all-time adjusted list. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is currently running 48 percent ahead of the $500.37 million 17-day take of Jurassic World and 110 percent ahead of the $352.11 million 17-day take of Avatar. IMAX grosses were responsible for an estimated $13.2 million of the overall weekend take for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. To date, The Force Awakens has grossed $98.2 million in IMAX domestically, which represents 13.3 percent on the film's total domestic gross. .... http://pro.boxoffice.com/latest-news/2016-01-02-north-america-early-weekend-estimates-star-wars-the-force-awakens-claims-new-years-record-tops-titanic-jurassic-world-for-2-all-time-w-686m-total-daddys-home-adds-strong-29m-sophomore-frame-the-hateful-eight-eyes-modest-167m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
