Could certainly do 160m, but that will all come down to the jump today.

 

Somewhere around TDK or Catching Fire seems about right at the moment.

Gitesh saying dory is going down

 

Seems like common sense.

 

Since 2000, Eragon had the biggest opening weekend share (31.0%) of any wide release on the third weekend of December. Eragon legs on a $155M opening is $500M domestic.

Going with Catching Fire with $158m seems reasonable

Unless this is unusually frontloaded.

WW it will be a different order with Zootopia in the mix.  Top 5 WW.    Not bad.

The general audience is far more forgiving nay accepting of schmaltz and sentimentality than the avg critic.   Same reason there's a usually a big disconnect in the ratings of Romance films.

as far as BOM goes back: never happened before

[TommyA10]

So if RO follows TFA's OW pattern from now on, it should do around $158m. RO has proven to be less frontloaded than TFA, though, so it could have better Sat increase. $150m+ is almost certainly happening, and with that No1 domestic for 2016 (even with below average holiday legs). A massive success either way, really.

[The Panda]

Before this year, no franchise has taken the domestic crown two years in a row.  Star Wars is going to win it at least 3 years in a row now.

Disney Year!
