A real ranking of what?  All teh films that came out before you could pirate them and see them on line two weeks into their run?

It's still grossly estimated by BOM, but yes, Adjusted is quite important to take into account.

 

No it's not.

With MLK weekend, maybe.

 

So 1 bln is rather unlikely?

And TFA still has a very good chance of getting into the Top 10 all-time adjusted. Any way you slice it, it's one of the greatest BO runs ever.

Is Cameron the type to send a congratulatory poster to the new all-time domestic winner? I can see him sending one to himself but other studios...?

Enjoy the Short Reign!!

You guys are misunderstanding my post. I said BOM is estimating the grosses way too much. It's there for historical purposes, that's all it should be.

Well considering he did actually overtake himself this is evidently false.

50/50

will be close enough for a push

JW made 96m more after this coming weekend, 29.5m, 3.28x

SW7  will be at 820m with  a 50m weekend x 3.28= 164m = 984m

JW had summer weekdays but had competition and screen loss

SW7 has 2 holiday weekends in 5 weeks, little competition, keeping premium screens longer, will have more repeat viewers and a whole lot of milestone hype

mite as well lock it

Didn't you know, Cameron is such a huge egomaniac and a terrible, terrible person all around...

Ok, in 1997, there was no hacking for Titanic. But today, the entrance to the cinema to SW7 is near $ 10 on average for Titanic was $ 4.7

We in France, we do not understand you count in dollars.

In France, the box office is in attendance and Titanic is always first. If it was in dollars, it would be the fourth.

 

In France :

 

1 - Titanic : 21 774 181 spectators (129 M$)

 

2 - Bienvenue chez les ch'tis : 20 489 303 (210 M$)

 

3 - Intouchables : 19 490 688 (166 M$)

 

...

 

8 - Avatar : 14 775 990 (175 M$)

 

...

 

49 - SW7 : 8 512 410 (66 M$)

spreading his enviromental message trying to save the planet is just part of his ego, so it's best to discredit his work.

It seems silly to say, but this news combined with the Baseball HOF announcement made my day! It's great to have Star Wars at the top of the Box Office World again, even if this new film wasn't really my cup of tea. 

As for the adjusted talk, I think it's mostly pointless. Most of those films came out during a time where movies faced far less competition. Regardless, when all is said and done, Star Wars: TFA will have the highest adjusted gross of any film since Titanic, which is just incredible. This is an all-time great run.

[Blankments]

 Congrats Star Wars!!

 

 

 

(Han is JJ, Luke is Kathleen Kennedy, Chewie is George Lucas, R2D2 is the new cast while C3PO is the old cast, and Leia is James Cameron of course.)

That's why there's a domestic Adjusted list. It's not reliable though

[CoolioD1]

giant drop! boy those MRAs realy killed this fucking thing.

[Kalderic]

Good enough number. I had hoped for a sub 20%, but at this point, who can really complain about a few percent?

its all about headlines. HLWD likes to brag about top ten entries. it sells tickets. only we in this forum know and care about adjusted. I actually discovered BOM when pondering adjustments 15 years ago. we are the rare
