Disney should have stuck with that original $13.1m projection and then $14.5m would be overdelivering instead of yet another shortfall versus estimates.

You keep thinking that. 

You not even being capable of checking box offices numbers isn't my problem...

 

Jurassic Park delivered a virtually identical re-release one year after TPM. I guess that movie sucked and no one had any interest in the franchise anymore...

Hmmm.. TLJ is beating Titanic right?

SW8 falling from estimates should officially be added to BOT lore 

[Cynosure]

Disney could predict a $0 weekend and TLJ would somehow find a way to fall from those too.

No, not at this point. I heard that it'd have to run just under 40% ahead of Rogue One for the rest of its run, and over this 4-day weekend it barely ran 2% over it.

 

Edit: Just did the math and it's actually over 40%. It'd have to run over 40% above Rogue One every day for the rest of its run to reach Titanic.

Ummm....is this not a spoiler? And if it is then thanks for letting me know that since I haven’t seen it yet. 

 

Wait, stuff that's in the trailer counts as spoilers?

That is missing the point, again. Just look at the graph, or at the top 10 DOM for this year. Today sequels (or worse for this debate, "franchises") not only dominate but have an almost complete monopoly on the top ranks of the box office. And you could never see a year like 1981 at the moment, where most of the most successful movies are originals.

It is a new phenomenon.

I think you've missed my point. That just because they're making more money now, doesn't mean Hollywood just started caring about making sequels. The "new" thing is that audiences are going to go see them more. Again, half the movies made in 1981 top 10 had sequels, made in that decade. Your problem isn't with studios making sequels, it's with audiences wanting sequels.

it fell again? even from 67.2 revised estimates? 

Edit: looks like the 3-day went down 0.3 (52.7 vs 52.4) unless @BoxOffice got it wrong somehow compared to other outlets.

@JohnnyGossamer ... edited the post. the earlier revision had not factored the 3-day it seems.

Is that right? Or, is there a typo in that tweet? Seemed it would just dip another .3M though after the revised estimates.

[redfirebird2008]

4-day gross is around 2.5% ahead of Rogue One. If that continues the rest of the way, TLJ will finish at $625m. Even giving it a nice boost over Rogue One the rest of this week, I don't see it doing much better than $635-640m at this point.
