Even crazier is that it's looking to blow past $600m WW this w/e without opening in China.

 

 

With Russia and China remaining out of the major markets, the cumulative WW opening would probably surpass $800 million. Even a conservative multiplier off that gets IW's total to the range of $1.7-1.8 billion, with the potential for more.

Still wish it had opened in China this w/e  

 

It's shocking that IW will still take the WW opening record without China. However, F8's OS opening record of $443.2 million is safe.

OW:  258

Multi: 2.4

Total: 619.2

 

Wonder how THAT would go over for certain members of this forum. 

Probably can't reach 258 right now (PROBABLY!).  And probably will now get more than a 2.4x, if only thanks to MTW spillover.  

 

Still...  Be kinda interesting to see THAT box office run. 

[BoilingHotCoffee]

for months i didn't believe that there was any way this movie was going to even burst $240M

 

I've never been so happy to be wrong... please forgive me, Lord Feige.

Any chance for Ep IX to exceed 250M in the first three days?

Not a chance, no way for the worst SW follow up film to make that kind of huge money....

Don't forget that this movie gets the next 3 weeks to itself for the most part.  It will not only hold locations, but also screens.  It will even hold on rock solid through Deadpool 2.  

 

It essentially has nearly a month before it will lose many locations.

I was thinking in low 230s. I never thought this could challenge TFA opening...

 

Right now I am feeling like Bart Simpson. I should write 100 times:

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE MARVEL

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE MARVEL

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE MARVEL...

[eXtacy]

Seriously its just so funny that none of the sites can bring themselves that TFA is likely going down.

This is way over the line.  You should delete that dumb sexist bullshit.

Only if they resurrect Vader and market the Hell out of him.

They are still butt hurt about over predicting Age of Ultron I think.

[MCKillswitch123]

Some YouTube chick whose name is well represented by one of our forum members here tweeted out that it was "SHOCKING" for IW to do less on Thursday previews than TFA

 

[Mod Edit]

[Zakiyyah6]

Stop calling women bitches. 

[Krissykins]

If it misses the record by just a few million it will be so frustrating 

 

You can do it!

Revenge of the Sith set the OD record on a Thursday after that masterpiece called Attack of the Clones...

 

In the same way I must learn to not underestimate Kevin Feige, you should not do it with Star Wars.
