Over 6. I'm happy.

[Daxtreme]

Typical ~21% drop. Let's see what the week-end holds.

Thats a relatively soft drop for a Wednesday. So it should stay right around 6 for Thursday and I'm still expecting around a 50 million dollar weekend. This is obviously playing very well with families and when you have a strong family filmit pretty much blows up on the weekend.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

Out of the above posted Forbes link:

 

No, I don’t think the film is going to cross the magic $1 billion mark at the domestic box office, but that’s only a failure if you’re an idiot. The film should cross $800 million domestic sometime this weekend and end its fourth weekend of play with around $820 million. At that point it will be the fourteenth-biggest movie of all time adjusted for inflation. When it gets to $940m domestic,

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Pretty good hold. Hope it stays flat today.

Hopefully this tempers the drop today and it stays above 6. But as I said in the other thread...it's all gravy from here.

Typical is 25%. Very good hold

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Thought the title needed some exclamation points.

I am still collecting details, predictions, reactions,... have fun with that

Special congrats to the man who brought this franchise back to life...

Out of The-Numbers prediction, see link earlier:

 

or the first time during its run, Star Wars: The Force Awakens isn't guaranteed first place. It is only practically guaranteed first place. It only has about a 90% chance of earning first place with between $45 million and $50 million. This will be enough to push it past $800 million. The only question is whether it will get there on Saturday, or if it will have to wait till Sunday. However, while I'm going with $48 million over the weekend, there is a small chance it will drop more than 50% and The Revenant will be a bigger hit than expected and the film will slip into second place. That won't be a big deal for The Force Awakens, but...

[kayumanggi]

I remember someone predicted 6.2 M in the Tuesday thread. Good call.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Since it's official:

 

 

And for those of you who like the original ending:

 

 

[a2k]

Me thinks 5.6-5.7m for Thu (8-10% drop) and a 45-46m weekend.

[spazz91]

I don't see a scenario where Revenant gets $40m+

 

It just doesn't look like it'll appeal to enough people.

[POTUS 2020]

I think it can hold close to avatar until next friday. It will have a 385m lead when it starts to lose ground.
