I’m guessing Disney lowballs at $105M 3-day, $120M 4-day 

 

Edit: they went even lower 🙄

I’m really looking to start this debate already, but …

 

It’s just normal diminishing returns for a franchise. The only major ones of the last 20 years to avoid that fate and increase were Avengers and LOTR, both of which were building towards a finale, (and even then Ultron was a step back)

 

3 should drop from 2, not like TFA—>TLJ or JW—>FK mind you, and what happens after will largely depend on story 

TLJ was hated, TFA was glib. Same for FK. If TLJ got as rave reviews from audiences as the first you really think it would have grossed so much less?

Harry Potter, Pirates, Fast and Furious, individual superhero MCU movies.

This is pretty much all of the highest grossing franchises isn't it? 😂

TFA is #7 in the franchise, JW is #4? in the franchise.

We'll living in a world where the sequels dominate the highest grossing list are we not?

Yeah overseas audience are being less forgiving than Domestic audience.

Another US holiday, another over the top Disney lowball. A 27% drop to Sunday seems too high for a holiday weekend. Can anyone back me up on that?

So much less? No. But dropped from TFA? Yes, without a doubt 

 

There is a novelty to the first entry that doesn’t carry over; it becomes harder to match (which doesn’t mean it can’t happen)

Lets say avatar 3 has good critics scores and audience scores as the first 2 did, do you think it can crack a 200m OW?

 

No

TLJ suffered from a huge reduction in repeat viewings i think

 

Many Star wars fan watched TFA 2-3 times.
