And had much lower inital grosses due to their legs beeing as long as those on the Ready Player One poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might need you later. actually gone with the wind (1939) is the highest grossing movie of all time adjusted for inflation and therefore star wars has no excuse to not get over that film's adjusted gross Edited December 21, 2017 by That One Guy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 17.5m wouldn't be a great increase from Wednesday, hopefully it can go up from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyChrono Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 TLJ is only about 15 mins longer than TFA/RO. That's not enough for runtime to make any meaningful difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 17.5m is not a great increase but it's also kinda early. I hope it goes up with estimates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainbug Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Yeah, if that figure holds, that woudnt be good. It probably wont jump much more than 35-40% on Friday (hopefully im wrong though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancelot Gold Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Posted this in Wednesday thread, but it's better being here. Assuming Deadline is close with 17.5 for Thursday, I'll undercut and assume 17 for these predictions. Thursday 17.0 Friday 27.88 (+64%) Saturday 37.64 (+35%) Sunday 30 (-20%) Monday 54 (+80%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeccas Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 The point is so many of the highest grossing films of all time are LONG ASS movies, it’s not really a viable excuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 If $17.5m holds, then it would need Pursuit of Happyness jumps to reach around $81m for the weekend. This is not impossible, but Pursuit of Happyness was a big time outlier on the high end compared to every other holdover in 2006. With Eragon daily percentages each day, it would mean a weekend around $62m. Charlotte's Web daily percentages would be around $57m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) I don't know how widespread this is across the country, but the locally owned theaters by me are closing at 4-5 PM on Sunday. I don't think they've ever closed that early on Christmas Eve in the past few years. They always open later on Christmas though, which is pretty dumb IMO because more people would be inclined to go out in the morning Edited December 21, 2017 by WrathOfHan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think the Eve crash won't be as bad as expected based on RO and SW7 doing better than expected those days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
