So the Force is strong enough to win the Monday?

 

It might pull 2nd place ahead of RA2, but 1st place is out of reach.

If you mean SW7 = no, the estimates say #3 (as in narrowingly under #2)

[MovieMan89]

Are these revised sundays actuals now or still estimates?

The Big Short just opened in Portugal with the equivalent of 40M in America. Meanwhile in America Ride Along 2 is the one doing 40M OW.

Typical. Foreigners have more interest in American economy and politics than Americans do. And then we wonder why we're in this mess in the first place.

Well, he usually is. Admittedly TR was much more mainstream than I ever expected it to be. Thought the violence would be a lot worse for one. Maybe we're getting numb to stuff these days, but I didn't even find the mauling particularly intense. And here I thought it was going to be like the most graphic thing in film based on the pre-release talk. 

 

I think people over-estimate how much of a turn-off extreme violence and/or sexual content are for GA. WOWS had the same "people aren't gonna go for this on Christmas" skepticism and it did great. Revenant too because they both were pushed as blockbusters and GA knew they 're coming out.

Neither, that are revised estimates

The Revenant's chart-topping UK bow confirmed as £5.23m from its 591 sites - http://www.screendaily.com/news/the-revenant-claws-up-uk-box-office/5098951.article?blocktitle=LATEST-FILM-NEWS-HEADLINES&contentID=42422 …

SW7 beyond 900m is a lock then, most fascinating run ever, this great land of America will never cease to shock me

[MovieMan89]

Feel really good about 950 now with the revised TFA estimates. At the very least, #10 adjusted should be firmly on track.

But 13 Hours's audiences are not that young too. From Deadline,

 

Like Zero Dark Thirty, 13 Hours drew an older male crowd at 55% men and 79% over 25. There was also a sizeable portion over 50 (39%). Audiences at 79% turned out because of their interest in the Benghazi attacks. 13 Hours’ ‘A’ CinemaScore gives it a 3.6 multiple, which puts the film at a projected domestic final B.O. of $68M+. Rentrak’s Post-Trak movie poll service reports that 60% of those who watched 13 Hours will recommend it to their friends, while 33% said that they would probably recommend it. Paramount hopes that solid word of mouth spreads to the heartland, as that region was too consumed with Leonardo DiCaprio’s 12-Oscar nominated western The Revenant this weekend which is posting a FSSM of $35M.

Well, not necessarily old but "much more inclined to go opening weekend than wait a week or two." After all, it was sold as an action film first and foremost.

Films knocking all-time champs from #1 wknd spot: LostInSpace (Titanic), DearJohn (Avatar) & now #RideAlong2 (#ForceAwakens).

 

You can add to that:

Empire Strikes Back Special Edition (Star Wars Special Edition)

 

ET actually wasn't #1 at the box office when it became the all time champion. But several movies did knock it out of the #1 spot: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (weekend 7), Friday the 13th Part III (weekend 10),  An Officer and a Gentlemen (weekend 13), Amityville II: The Possession (weekend 16), An Officer and a Gentlemen (again, in weekend 18), First Blood (weekend 20), and finally The Toy (weekend 27).

 

The Toy was passed in weekend 28 by Tootsie, which would hold onto the #1 spot for 13 straight weekends, until March of 1983. During that span, sometime in January, ET finally passed Star Wars for the #1 spot.

I think it's a retweet, not sure if any details for changed since a few hours back

Oh, since I just thought to check it.

 

The 1985 reissue of ET never got to the #1 spot. It debuted at #2, but failed to top the third weekend of Back to the Future.

 

 

The 80s had some great box office runs. It was another world.

Still one of the most recognizable actors working today.

 

John Travolta and Bruce Willis are almost as recognizable as Hanks and their movies have mostly flopped in recent years

They haven't exactly been doing extremely well received Spielberg Cold War drams

[Ethan Hunt]

13 Hours time

[MovieMan89]

Hanks seems to finally have his career back on track after the decade of death that was '03-'12 for him. Captan Phillips, Saving Mr. Banks, and Bridge of Spies were all critical and commercial successes and Sully should follow suit.

Well The Big Short isn't doing much business anywhere else. It's also holding really well domestically.

 

Also I'm pretty sure people not going to see a fictionalized movie about the economy, doesn't mean they're not interested in the subject, just saying.

good news is 900mil is a lock now. Even with 50% week over week drops we get to 900 mil some time in mid feb (probably president day weekend). Thinking we end up with 915-925 now.
