What?  Beating Avatar was always on the table with a 200M OW

Plenty of people said 700 m DOM was in trouble yesterday.

105M in ONE (two technically, but it counts as one) DAY.

 

More than 90% of films' OW's, and around 75-80% of films' DOM totals in a single day. And this isn't the same scenario as TFA by any means.

 

There will never be a franchise like Star Wars.

i think those that sold SW over at FOX are long gone. I mean how freakin stupid can a movie company be to sell such a franchise to a rival

[YM!]

So many comments to use the meme.

Yeah, you have that all wrong.  Kind of hard for Fox to sell Star Wars to Disney when they didn't own it.

Fox didn't have control of the SW franchise, Lucasfilm did.

Fox never had the rights, it was a distribution deal. Disney bought Lucasfilm and got the rights of I’m correct.

Ferdinand opened $1.4m less than the R rated Sisters despite being a family cartoon and showing in 800 more cinemas. Wooof.

Well someone asked some fans who went to see it on opening night and they liked it.

 

Shock horror.

TLJ is likely doing 700m+ with that #. Insane Friday business.

holy shit SW is a monster. No movie can ever compete against this. I think Avatar will disappoint unless Cameron really comes up with something really new for it. Like almost Virtual reality 3D

It wasn't their choice -- it was all up to Lucasfilm. 

[La Binoche]

Pleasantly surprised by the sexual content and nudity in Shape of Water. Didn't expect that.
