If we must talk about BO gross, there's not a single predict over 880 DOM in the Top 10 films for 2017 for Ep 8 before this news hit.  IIRC, there were only five or six at 800 or more.  

 

I don't think there are going to be THAT many people on the 1b bandwagon.

Neither do I. But we all get a little ridiculous when a SW movie comes out. And TFA and RO have validated a lot of the craziness too.

I'll go with $650- $700m? Still a $200m+ decline from TFA.

 

Before R1 came out I was thinking 650-700 for E8. With R1's performance so far I am more in the camp of 700-750 right now.

 

Too many variables to be accurate at this point.

 

My thought had always been take the mid-point between E7 and R1 and that is the number to aim for. 

With R1 looking like it is headed to 550 give or take a little that puts that mid point 743.

 

As always though, that number will be impacted by reviews and WOM. I'm assuming reviews and WOM similar to R1 or better.

 

I'll be surprised if E8 doesn't drop from TFA, it's all a matter of how much. But R1 shows any well received SW movie is going to do massive numbers.

Maybe I'll take my Dad to see it today, definitely more eager given the news.

Watched Dangal yet? I'm planning to tomorrow or the day after.

 

Nope, not yet. Have heard it's great.

You will probably watch it before me. Curious to hear your opinion of it.

[Lordmandeep]

RO seems to certainly increase from yesterday here locally at least in tickets sold.

 

combine of cheap tuesday and a national Holiday and theaters are a zoo for almost every film.

Yes this is a box office board, but she just passed away two hours ago. We have a year until Episode VIII comes out, we can wait on discussing how this effects the gross. 

 

Bummed.

Taking time to remember her impish side:

 

 

I think she'd like that, given her personality.

Are we really going to have to make a Star Wars VIII UNDER $1B dom club?

It's not that I think it will make a billion, just that it now is a realistic possibility. 

 

Prior to Rogue One, I'd have guessed that VIII would hit in the 500-800 range. R1 shows there is a pretty marginal decline in SW interest, so I think it bumped the range to 600-900. Fisher's death bumps it up again: 700-1000.

I think her death could give a $50-75m boost. 

 

My prediction: 215/750

I hope somebody wakes us from this nightmare.  2016 has not been a kind year at all.  2017 looks like living hell too...

Rogue One shows that there is a marginal decline in interest in Star Wars? Are you for real?
