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

 

You had my curiosity, now you have my attention.

Disney needs to move Han Solo to Christmas. They just need to make this an official Christmas tradition and be done with it.

No way this beats TFA's first Saturday. I won't even set up my expectations that high only to end up disappointed.

I will then! 70, here we come! 😂

I haven't seen any Hunger Game movies since the first (as I mentioned back when this thread was created), but Mockingjay is a baaaaaaad book. That shit was excruciating to read.

And the fact they split it into two only made it more excruciating to watch it, especially Part 1, where pretty much nothing actually happens, leaving Part 2 to basically wrap the whole thing up, and it didn't wrap it up very well in my opinion.

If they don't, I'll eat a hat of your choosing.

Jesus fuck. 700m is absolutely locked. Avatar is the target now.

This went from the most boring big weekend of the year to the most exciting real quick.

 

0 TO 100 REAL QUICK

The Jungle Book did  $364/$966m

 

TLK did almost $100m domestic in it's 3D re-release in 2011. 

 

It dwarfs Beauty & The Beast in popularity.  It dwarfs Frozen.

 

Ben-Hur and Ghostbusters are just as big of hits adjusted for inflation as TLK. Didn't see their remakes smashing any box office records.

 

Obviously I'm well aware that's not an apples to apples  comparison to TLK by any stretch, but I'm saying that using the original's gross as why the remake "HAS" to gross that much or more is incredibly flawed logic. The BatB live action remake clearly struck some kind of chord with audiences in the marketing. Otherwise it never would have been able to do over twice as well as the animated one did. Again, the young female demo was out en masse for that movie, and people aren't realizing TLK won't have that. It is much more in Alice and Jungle Book's lane as far as demo goes.

Fucking 800 is back on the table.

 

God DAMN.

That's because Toby Kebbell cursed it

We are looking at what? 1.6B WW? Jurassic World is the target I guess.

I don't know what to tell ya! Seems we all disagree with you on this. 

[MovieMan89]

Holy shit at the Sat #! I think the controversy might actually be helping it for the moment.

[WrathOfHan]

@Rth Ragnarok @EmpireCity These SW numbers are all fine and dandy, but they also are #NotARecord (yet). What is the REAL record setter doing today?

ben hur no millennial appeal 80s/90s nostalgia is what's running the show. ghostbusters wasn't the exact same fucking thing shot for shot so nobody cared.
