Weekdays for 2 wks are fucking huge. Just look at RO, it opened less than TDK and now is up 16M. That total will be over 50M by Monday. Weekdays are too juiced up, which is amazing for BO watching that we do. Who says it won't? Unofficial word is that they are seriously considering it (MSW Podcast).

PPZVGOS Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Good number for Rogue One, but short of x3 over SH2. $600M domestic was always a very tall order. But there is still some hope. In any case, TDK is getting obliterated. Sing is quite an astonishing BO success that will leave a very substantial profit for Universal since it's relatively low-budgeted. Animation has been absolutely massive this year. Moana is holding up better than anyone else this Xmas season (albeit from a far lower base) and will end its domestic run with an OK total. However, this has to be a relative disappointment for Disney since it will fall far short of previous Disney animated product as well as that of many competitors. In fact, it may even end the year being only the number 6 animated movie (counting Jungle Book as animated) if Sing surpasses it, which looks likely. Rogue One should be at number 3 for the year tomorrow, behind only Civil War & Finding Dory. It will be at number 2 for the year before the weekend is over. Beautiful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took the Comic Book craze to the next level and redefined what a major blockbuster could be. It's definitely one of the all-time great Hollywood films, especially in the fantasy genre. I would even consider it in the same vein as The Empire Strikes & The Fellowship of the Ring. It was epic, both in terms of box-office and quality/cultural impact. Probably the best superhero movie ever made. Edited December 29, 2016 by PPZVGOS 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daxtreme Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I seem to recall some people before Rogue One opened saying that TFA was an outlier, that big openers will drop almost normally during the holidays because that's how big movies function... Well, here's how Rogue One compares to similar openers during its 2nd week DAY Rogue One The Dark Knight Catching Fire The Hunger Games Mon $32,085,637+24.1% / +82.3% $318,119,079 / 11 $10,518,116-55.5% / -57.1%$324,299,793 / 11 $3,402,550-76.1% / -72.4% $299,698,207 / 11 $4,522,495-70.2% / -58.2% $253,006,396 / 11 Tue $22,515,612-29.8% / +28.1%$340,634,691 / 12 $9,629,366-8.4% / -53.9% $333,929,159 / 12 $4,009,955+17.9% / -74.9% $303,708,162 / 12 $5,324,246+17.7% / -48.5% $258,330,642 / 12 Wed $18,021,482-20% / +20.4%$358,656,173 / 13 $8,755,141-9.1% / -52.4% $342,684,300 / 13 $3,017,817-24.7% / -85.5% $306,725,979 / 13 $4,608,765-13.4% / -42.8% $262,939,407 / 13 Thu - $8,402,546-4% / -49%$351,086,846 / 14 $2,938,977-2.6% / -80.3% $309,664,956 / 14 $6,399,758+38.9% / -21.7% $269,339,165 / 14 (Thu will be close to $18M as well) I mean... ... Jesus, the numbers aren't even close. So, can we please finally assess, for real and for good, that no matter the size of a movie's opening, holiday legs WILL kick in, pretty please? I've had this argument with I don't know how many users before Rogue One opened (who mysteriously disappeared since then), and I would like it if that would become common knowledge from now on. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPZVGOS Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 @Daxtreme I had the same argument on a Star Wars forum recently. Actually, if one goes into the trouble of looking at historical precedent apropos the month of December then a very clear picture emerges. Opening weekends get compromised, while legs benefit immensely during the holiday days. It's as simple as that. People have difficulty in accepting this since they are too used with the summer-type behavior of blockbusters. Well, December releases are quite simply a very different animal. I have also been telling this to people: If TFA opened in the summer, its opening weekend would have been even bigger, possibly over $300M, but its legs would be somewhat shorter. The same of course would apply to Rogue One, or any of the The Lord of the Rings movies, Avatar or even Titanic. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
