Some of those seem a bit high.

[Krissykins]

I bet the studio are hoping Revenant does big numbers. Budget alone is $130m.

 

Oscar bait now has a price tag.

 

Sisters is quietly headed to $80m+ that's 3 R rated female lead comedies that were big hits from 2015. (Trainwreck + Spy).

[redfirebird2008]

Perhaps the most impressive thing about this film's performance is the fact it broke the domestic total record in only 20 days. That is a record that will stand for a long, long time...maybe forever.

Imagine Cameron is viciously berating his employees for letting this happen.

‘Star Wars’ Blasts Past ‘Iron Man 3’ at International Box Office

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has passed a trio of titles — “Iron Man 3,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and “Skyfall” — to take the 11th spot on the all-time international box office chart.

Disney made the announcement Thursday, a day after it trumpeted that the seventh “Star Wars” film had set a new record as the top domestic movie of all time, topping the $760.5 million record set by “Avatar.”

“The Force Awakens” took in $6.2 million domestically on Wednesday, its 20th day of release, for a total of $764.4 million. The international gross grew by $13.1 million Wednesday to push the total to $812.2 million — $6 million ahead of “Iron Man 3” and $10 million behind “Minions” for the 10th spot.

The worldwide total has hit $1.576 billion — just $100 million short of matching “Jurassic World” for third place on the worldwide chart. “Avatar” sit at the top with $2.79 billion, followed by “Titanic” at $2.19 billion.

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.

 

A flat tuesday did the job... Along great WOM ofcourse

Deadline

Star Wars: The Force Awakens saw an overseas bump on Wednesday of $13.1M, topping Tuesday’s $13M take and bringing the offshore cume to $812.2M. As expected, it has now become the No. 11 movie of all time at the international box office. To get there, it zipped past Skyfall, Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Iron Man 3. With $9M separating it from Minions, it should enter the all-time offshore Top 10 when today’s grosses are tallied.

....

In individual markets, TFA has now grossed $150.5M in the UK, its continued strongest offshore play. That puts it within roughly $11M of Skyfall, the market’s biggest ever title. The rest of the Top 10 are Germany ($87M), France ($72M), Japan ($58.7M), Australia ($54.1M), Spain ($29.3M), Italy ($26.3M), Mexico ($25.2M), Russia ($23.9M) and Korea ($23.5M).

Avatar and Cameron number one in the world.

 

SW7 future issue 2 or 3.

 

Titanic 135 million viewers in the US, SW7 finish at least 100 million.

 

The records are easier to beat in dollars.

Sisters is heading to about 95-100 million.  WOM is going to give this some very nice drops in the weeks to come.
