Some of the projected Sunday drops are rather harsh for a pre-holiday Sunday... but then again, looks like it's mainly the adult fare that is estimated that steep.

Japan is still going strong, can it pass $100m?

 

We need to know the weekend number.

[kayumanggi]

Blame China.

At current pace there is no guarantee #StarWars #ForceAwakens will beat #Titanic for #2 all-time global. May fall a bit short.

857M is exactly the number I had predicted SW would be after its 32nd day. If this holds, and it continues following my model, it should break 900M on Feb 1st or 2nd at the latest. And Disney might be lowballing Sunday as usual.

 

Also, it took only 31 days for Star Wars to cross 850M, while it took 36 days for Jurassic World to cross 600M, the previous record holder.

 

Unreal.

[The Futurist]

Joy won't even do 60m.

 

[kayumanggi]

So SW: TFA will be the lowest 2 B movie. lol "lowest 2 B movie."

Yes. 

 

Definitely not. Not even close. TFA's 1B OS is nowhere close to Avatar's 2B in any way no matter what factors you try to use. ER is bad but lots of markets have expanded and 6 year's inflation further reduces that disadvantage. So, no way TFA is even close to Avatar OS in any way just because of ER. Its not even the biggest movie of its own year OS. Avatar is the 2nd biggest of all time. In fact when you factor in market expansions Avatar's china gross alone would increase to near 1200m. I am not saying it would have made that but since we are talking about pure number conversions that will be the number we'll have to take. That alone beats TFA's total OS and we haven't even come to the rest of Asia or Latin America where major market expansions take have taken place. So yeah - No.

Hey guys, could one reason for TFA's legs be that OW was deflated a bit by Christmas shopping?

[TalismanRing]

Very generous projected drops for Baygazi

It's Disney that does not stop to compare with Avatar talking record.

[MovieMan89]

TFA needed a 30% drop at most for the 3 day weekend to keep any long shot of 1b alive. So it is officially over.  Can't say I'm not a little disappointed after its incredible 2015 stretch got it so far, but it's still an insane run of course. Now I just hope it can make another 80m so it doesn't miss the top ten adjusted.

question for box office experts: Is JOY considered a flop?

ie. Is Tina Fey + Amy Po bigger box office draws than JLAW?

[bangbingchan]

Just told you guys before,Titanic will be very safe this weekend.China will drop hard.It did so.FF7 OS is safe too

[baumer]

The lowest 2B movie lol. Hang your head JJ LOL

So TFA needs to make about $210 more from OS to beat Titanic WW. 

Seems really difficult.

 

It's not happening.  It did $27.3m in non China O/S this w/e and China is falling hard and will give maybe other $15m if that. 

 

I think O/S will land around around $1.1b
