Hey Star Wars fans, I introduce to you ... www.boxofficemojo.com

Go nuts.

What do you think is going to happen? Do you think it's going to drop 60% over Christmas? Because that is what will happen if the OD is 85m+. Either that or it will out gross Avatard.

Realistically, the highest I see it matching is ROTK's Opening, which by my calculations would be 50.7 million OD with inflation and 3-d, assuming a 25% 3-D share and avg. $3 surcharge, a 25.3 Thursday (for 76 million in 2 December weekdays!) 32.4 million Friday (108 million in 3 December days!) 43.1 million Saturday (for 151 million in 4 December days!) and 34.5 million Sunday (for 179 million in 5 fucking December days!!!! That has never been seen before!!!) Not to mention a 40% drop at absolute most Week 2. I don't see how 50 million OD in December is bad unless you don't expect people to check it out over the weekend.

Star Wars - # 2 adjusted all-time
Empire - #12 adjusted all-time
Jedi - #15 adjusted all-time
Menace - #17 adjusted all-time
Sith - #61 adjusted all-time
Clones - #89 adjusted all-time

Thanks Algren!

I can't believe Clones is even in the top 100.

No one's saying it won't be in the top 100. Just not the top 25 like everyone here thinks.

Check December stats and come back with more of your bullshit...

Why didn't you say that to begin with? All you said to do was check out this magical website and go nuts.

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that quite a few December releases were in the top 100. Before Jaws, December was when studios would release their major tentpoles.

Uh, yeah ok. The conversation before I posted was about opening days and weekends.

Keep moving the goalposts.

You use adjusted numbers as if mean something. Enough said.

But then again, what do numbers really mean?

Jmart wins.

Jmart only wins in finding answers to a question that nobody asked. The real winner will be decided in December when Star Wars VII doesn't break records, and all the Star Wars fans look secretly edit all their past predictions.

Well it was against Algren. That's like playing chess with a retard.

I just don't see a $760m+ total for it, that would be a huge jump from the prequels. I know they are not the same movies but still I just don't see a sizable chunk of audience that love the movies decide not to see Star Wars movies because they are prequels.

So it appears we have zwackerm, Algren, Excel and Keyser Soze definitely in the it doesn't break all the records club, while Dr. Lecter and Jack Sparrow have shown not to be completely on board with the it breaks all the records club.

The not in the club arguments seem too strong to ignore. I'm not in too.

None of those arguments are as good as the one for it: it's motherfuckin Star Wars! The all-time most popular franchise returns to glory with the Disney marketing machine behind it. Please open it on Friday Disney. Ken Wattanabe wants you to let them fight!!

YES! Let them fight!

That Godzilla HISHE was hilarious

Is that what you do all the times you're epically wrong? That feels like a lot of time spent editing.

TBH give me 1 reason this sells more tickets ROTK.

Star Wars has a more fervent fanbase
Star Wars is a four-quadrant movie
Old cast will bring skeptics back

And most importantly, but it's something we won't know until December, it's obviously got to be good.

He already did...

"it's motherfuckin Star Wars!"

That reasoning is just weird because ROTK clearly sold more tickets than AOTC and ROTS. So it is just very weird to me that people think the brand has grown substantially since that point in time.

ROTK was an crazy hyped film. I think TFA matching ROTK's #1s with inflation and 3D would bue hge but I dont think it happens.
