Fri looking like  rev 14.5-16, TFA 11-12

 

I just realized that Domhnall Gleeson is in both of these movies, so he wins either way

but won't TFA numbers still be high enough for it to benefit from MLK and President's day? be hopeful, guys

 

That's true, this could technically being its biggest drop for the rest of it's run, if it gets it's footing back next weekend I'd say it still has a fair shot at $1b.

I was just answering a question

 

Welcome to the Domestic Box office discussion forum. If you wish to continue to discuss Avatar's World Wide gross, please continue your discussion in the international forum or perhaps even in the Avatar 2 thread. Do me that favor.

He is amazing. and he played in TFA, The Revenant and Ex Machina all this year! not to mention Brooklyn which I have yet to see.. holy shit everyone of those films could be getting nominated for BP this year.

Avatar made $50m on this weekend, TFA on track for 45m

That doesn't answer my ? but thanks for being a broken record.

[Durden]

I want:

 

1. The Revenant - 43m

2. Star Wars - 42m

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Pretty much expected for TFA, 50m was a bit of a dream I'm afraid. But that Revenant number...wow. I was thinking 30+(If a similar film with Liam Neeson could do near 20, surely Leo could do better), but I never thought it would do half that on its first wide day. Leo's still a star. 

 

I just wish I would have stuck to my guns on Revenant in the Derby, I low balled it at the last second. Drat and double drat.

[MovieMan89]

Wow, really nuts for The Revenant. Disappointing if TFA is 11, decent if it's 12. Wanted 13 though.

11=68% drop from last fri

12=65% drop from last fri

 

Guys if $1b is off the table now what are we gunning for, s the run over for us now?

 

 

 

Passing Titanic worldwide.

 

The shortfall in DOM is likely to be compensated with China breaking out.

Huh, why did you reply to my same post twice?

For those chiding people for being disappointed in anything related to TFA, enough. If someone wants to be that's their right no matter how big the 4th weekend is/how much you disagree.

The next 3 top domestics are all within 110m of a each other.  950-960 would make SW the champ by about 200m.  Records completely smashed, works for me.

 

 

Interesting point of comparison:

When Titanic set the record by 140m (over Star Wars), that represented 23% of its total gross. The next three had a 103m gap.

Avatar's 160m increase over Titanic is about 21% of its total. The next three had a 140m gap.

If TFA gets to 960m, the margin over Avatar will be a similar 21%. 

 

All three are in pretty close proximity, there. Hmm...

 

Alternative consideration:

 

The 140m gap Titanic had subtracted from the 2nd place film drops you down to 320m, of which four other films had crossed (Star Wars, ET, JP, Forrest Gump, which was amazingly the third biggest film of all time at one point. The Lion King is about 8m behind that threshold.)

Subtract Avatar's 160m bump from Titanic, and you've got 440m, which also covered four films (Titanic, TDK, Star Wars, Shrek 2. ET, post-re-release was 5m behind.)

TFA's hypothetical 200m bump from Avatar subtracted the same way gives you 560m. Which, yeah, covers four films (Avatar, Titanic, JW, TA1.) And TDK is sitting 25m short.

 

Okay, that's tremendously non-conclusive.

I asked whether this was going to be the largest weekend post holidays, that includes The Revenant TFA & everything else. Again, should have been more specific. I'm talking years not individual films.

This movie has kind of been a disappointment every step of the way if we're being honest. It couldn't hit $150 million OD. Couldn't crack $300 million OW. Couldn't beat Iron Man 3's opening weekend in it's 2nd weekend or Jurassic World's 2nd weekend in it's 3rd! Only 7 days over $40 million?!? What a turd!!

Now it can't even manage to beat Titanic's adjusted domestic total or make as much worldwide as Disney spent on Lucasfilm! I suggest cancelling the franchise and rebooting John Carter Goes to Mars....

[grim22]

With a 16M Friday (13.7 True Friday), Revenant can hit 40-42M for the weekend. TFA looks like a 42-44M weekend with 12M, will be close depending on the final Friday #s.
