SW has always been very popular OS without ever being quite the phenomenon it is in the US. TFA cements that.

 

TFA raised the bar quite a bit.

 

The prequels had half the OS total.

Part of it is the general change in OS over that time period, though. Even in 2005 when Revenge of the Sith initially came out, China still wasn't quite a thing yet the way it is today. That having been said, TFA making more in the *UK* than Creed did *WW* is pretty impressive.

 

Edit - Shouldn't actuals be coming out soon?

Absolutely Off-topic -

I don't know where to ask this but can someone tell me an easy proof for showing that a circle lies within another (we have eqns for both)?

TFA over The Revenant 

[Maxmoser3]

2016 is the year of the Fox.

[RamblinRed]

Congrats to TFA for crossing 900M and 2B.

That is a heck of a hold for Super Bowl Weekend.

If it starts having small drops it could actually finish quite well. After this weekend my model has it back up close to 940M for a finish.

Fox is going to utterly dominate the year.  Revenant, KFP 3, and Deadpool have all provided solid hits so far this year, and they definitely have more to come.

Look at that excellent SB weekend hold for TFA. Only movie in top 10 to drop under 40%!

Why, might I ask?

 

Because Revenant, KFP3, and Deadpool are the 3 biggest movies released wide (or to be in the next week) so far this year?

@kayumanggi I don't think Revenant is a Lock for BP, but the DGA win on Saturday certainly helps it's chances. I should have prefaced that comment with the word "if"

Thing is that Disney releases less films per year than Fox.  Definitely an issue.  Aside from those 3 films, Fox also has Apocalypse, ID: Resurgence, Ice Age, Gambit, Assassin's Creed, Trolls, and Ms. Peregrine's.  Eddie the Eagle, Other Side of the Door, and Mike and Dave also have a chance to be solid mid-level hits.  Should also get a boost from A Cure for Wellness and Why Him?  They have more films than Disney being released, which means they still have a shot.

How can it get to 950? It would need 10% drops from here out. 935 would be good.

22 percent

[kesleyk]

And it hasn't had that kind of drop yet

[LinksterAC]

Superb hold for Star Wars.  Late legs like this will net it an "extra" $10M vs. what I was projecting.  $940M instead of $930M.  Fantastic run.

 

I actually saw it on Sunday again.  I took both my parents.  Their first time in general, and my first time in IMAX 3D.  Of the six viewings I've had, this format was actually the most enjoyable.  Surprising since I'm generally not a fan of 3D.
