They realise it will might not make $1b, this worries them because without $1.2b Dom it won't beat Avatar's 2.8b No one thinks TFA is beating Avatar worldwide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyneOh1040 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Where are we at in terms of admissions? I don't remember Titanic admissions and am just wondering if we're expecting this to even come close by end of run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Damn SW7's DOM and OS are running incredibly close. Domestic: $740,265,583 49.0% Foreign: $770,500,000 51.0% It's gonna end up somewhere near 2BN without China, and it's up to China to decide whether SW7 will pass Titanic WW.

Oh I didn't realise that No one thinks TFA is beating Avatar worldwide, I guess it would be embarassing if they did now that you've said that. Nah you're right definetely no one like that in here, right guys? Anyway back to the matter at hand, when well we find out if Disney is lowballing? 4 minutes ago, Walt Disney said: I'm not sure that many people care about the WW record either.

Its a nice record to have for sure, but domestic has always been the most important market for studios and cultural relevancy.

I don't remember Titanic admissions and am just wondering if we're expecting this to even come close by end of run. Right around mid 70M. It will pass Avatar's 75-76M attendance and 760M gross both this week and is looking to go over 100M for the total run. Titanic did ~128M admissions, so it's going to need 1.25-1.3B to touch that. EDIT: Just to clarify, referring to Titanic's first run. Edited January 4, 2016 by spizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Manager Water Bottle Posted January 4, 2016 Community Manager Share Posted January 4, 2016 19 minutes ago, Walt Disney said: Adjusted for inflation, Titanic is number 5 all-time. I am absolutely amazed at what Star Wars: The Force Awakens is doing. This is super exciting. However, I have to put things in perspective. Star Wars: The Force Awakens will not surpass Titanic's domestic adjusted gross. Titanic's domestic total adjusted for inflation is more impressive. True. Titanic will win the battle when adjusted for inflation. Of course, TFA's amazing run is at a time when ticket prices have increased and ticket attendance has gone down since 1997. The tickets are more expensive so it's making more money without inflation...but believe it or not, it's actually more impressive to me that a movie sells lots of tickets at the current price than when a movie sold lots of tickets when they were cheaper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkshop36 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 38 minutes ago, Baumer Fett said: I expect it to drop about 20-25%. The reason being is that this was a perfect storm. The anticipation from everyone for this film was nothing like we have ever seen before. You simply can't duplicate that. Plus not everyone liked the film so there will be some natural attrition. Look at the original SW. That film is loved by most today and yet Empire dropped 32%. Why? Was SW that hated or did it just set a pace that was unattainable. When you reach the zeitgeist like TFA has, the sequel has nowhere to go but down. My guess for the final gross is about 1.05 billion and based on that I think the sequel opens to about 235 million and grosses about 800 mill. Works for me!!

bladels Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Can Cameron fans/Star Wars haters shut up about Avatar WW already? You sounds like a broken record. Nobody thought TFA is gonna beat Avatar WW. How many times do we have to praise Avatar WW to make you feel better? We are not your baby sisters. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going with the first one. I believe he is a troll because even the most basic rudimentary kindergarten level of understanding of box office and you would know that Star Wars will get past 900 million. I think TFA's run has brought a number of trolls on board (just as I'm sure Avatar's run back in the day). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAtGender Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Huh. TFA's going to be the first film to have both the OW and DOM #1 spots since Star Wars got the weekend with the '78 re-issue. It also improved the OW record by about the same percentage as DMC did in 2006. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
