doubt it breaks the Saturday record, one of records TFA didn't achieve

 

Yep, that would require almost 70 million.  That seems like a stretch.

I'm not usually up this late, but I worked late tonight so here I am.

 

And I am finally finding a moment to read some of the thread since worm has been Cray. Having another little one means no peace until late lol 

 

Glad you are around though. And terribly sad you did not like Jedi since our tastes tend to align...

I'm Vader, Tele and Water Bottle are the Emperor and they will be here tomorrow and they are not as forgiving as I.

Over/Under: 

 

Thread Bans 4.5

Forum Bans 1.5

Over and Under respectively are looking pretty good right now.

 

(Though if a forum tempban is handed out in a certain other thread which shall remain nameless, I think it should count toward this one in spirit. )

I'm going to give it another go tomorrow.  Hopefully my opinion will change, but sadly, knowing what it is that bothers me about the movie, I don't think it will change drastically.

West Coast is the Stretch Coast.

Reading certain sites, you would think TLJ is having a disastrous opening as it is lagging behind TFA, but did anyone think it would match the box office of TFA? IMO, film is doing just fine, I don't think Disney execs are losing any sleep over this unless it is to count their money....

Fine?

 

Fine?

 

It's going to have the second biggest opening of all time and it's on pace to fall by about 10% from the record opening of the most anticipated film of all time.

 

Fine isn't the word I would use.

Only people who do not understand box office and the enormity that was TFA.  Everyone else was sane knowing it would come down. As it stands right now if sunday holds like force than the only real difference will be the previews. 

[narniadis]

And for the record, this film is doing AMAZING. Fine is what JL is ending up with. Great is Thor, this, this is down right amazing.

It would be nice if TLJ can outgross Avatar domestically.

TLJ is doing way more then just fine. Having the second biggest opening is no easy accomplishment, SW or no SW.

And Empire made a really good point that the longer run time would have affected the amount of viewings on Thursday.

Back from my second showing.

 

Theater did something weird I've never seen before. After all the trailers, they played a Coke ad and then immediately started the movie. Really annoying.

 

In terms of TLJ, I liked it a lot the first time and even more the second time around. 

 

There was an R2-D2 in the lobby and people were posing for pics (I couldn't resist). A little girl, maybe 4 years old, came down the stairs in a Rey costume and just gasped when she saw Artoo, it was adorable.

Rth is likely more accurate than me, but I would go with up to 69m if the west coast comes in strong again.  

Nice
