In the '80's, he publicly complained about the lack of roles coming his way despite Star Wars. He's certainly developed a very nice niche for himself since then. All I'm saying is being a major star of this franchise doesn't guarantee a major career. ..

Not disagreeing, but in his case the major change of his face / appearance relation to his real age might have made it a tad bit more difficult to find roles. I think he looked after his face damaging accident way older than he was / had the experience...

Truth be told Hamill wasn't that great of an actor, I'm gonna assume that he's improved since the 80's and he has become one of the best voice actors in the biz.

Daisy Ridley is a trained dancer and at least according to other TFA cast members has an excellent singing voice, I'm willing to bet whoever is planning to do the next big budget musical will try very hard to get her in a lead role.

Can't stan for a cookie cutter Star Wars film.

Sisters 2- Battle of the 5 Sisters with Ridley, Knightley and Portman playing sisters facing off against Fey and Poehler.

Big Short is gaining nearly 1K theaters this weekend, expect there to be a low drop. Good TC increases for Daddy's Home and H8ful as well.

Point Break's drop  Concussion is losing a lot as well.

Trying to remember if ever a movie with a release of 4000+ had constantly 'no change' going into it's 4th week...

Pretty crazy, but Disney made all the theaters keep it for at least 4 weeks, instead of the normal 2.

Even Avatar was dropped out of some theaters - http://www.boxofficemojo.com/counts/chart/?yr=2010&wk=03&p=.htm

[WrathOfHan]

I'm really curious what the TC drop for TFA is next week. A lot of theaters are reducing showtimes this weekend since they can now remove it from additional screens.

[Daxtreme]

Well boys, it finally happened

Good chance Finding Dory will take over G.

[JonathanLB]

It's crazy how movies are gone so fast now days. Look at poor Krampus, I saw it that opening weekend, it did pretty well for what it was, then it lost theaters only 2 weeks later and now is barely playing anywhere. Ouch!

[Daxtreme]

Also, Titanic now has more records than Avatar.

 

Worldwide record is still much more valuable though

 

Avatar's 4th week-end record is in jeopardy too. It would drop to 4 records if it loses that record... same number as Jurassic World!
