Re: Friday Numbers
Sisters can probably do 100 million with that OD. Alvin probably can't.

Re: Friday Numbers
That probably ends MJ2's chance at 300m. Panem wins! Panem forever!
63.5m Friday. About to be expected after the previews.

Re: Friday Numbers
In the Heart of the Sea got killed and is a pretty big bomb, although could do well worldwide.
Spectre made less than Thor 2 on the same day for the first time I think, if it keeps making less it will be < 200 mil

Re: Friday Numbers
Holy shit! Have to admit that I was terribly wrong about the anticipation for this film. Just goes to show that after graduating from college, my ability to gauge hype for certain movies is terrible.
I know that regardless of what time it opened, it would have gotten the midnight/OD/OW records, but it still sucks to have to have that asterisk (which it really won't even get one). Everybody has always talked about how ROTS would have gotten the OW record if it opened on a Friday, but how is this really any different? It's just a slippery slope and who's to stop it from getting to the point where a movie can open on noon Thursday and still be considered Friday?
I'm just bitching, and I don't mean to take away from the crazy success of this movie (I don't think I could if I even tried), but there needs to be more consistency if we're comparing records.

Even crazier that it it happened 3 times in a month. Though had Last Crusade open on a Friday rather than Wed, ghostbusters II wouldn't have taken it. Obviously Batman would. God I love 89. Even as cool as that is, Back to the Future Part II was higher then the previous record and did it in November. It beat the non summer opening by almost 45%.

Re: Friday Numbers
Serious Excel for a moment:
-63m Friday is huge but obviously not maximum capacity. Very interested to see how Sat and Sunday play out, I kind of expected more out of Friday and judging from early estimates, so did others. That is a mark I think will be topped fairly soon. Heck, JW did a little more, correct?
-57m in previews will never be broken. Also think it is clear that had it been midnights only, POTTER would likely still stand.

Re: Friday Numbers
Even though it's pointless to play with hypotheticals, I am 100% certain that Star Wars would have broken Harry Potter's preview and daily records without breaking a sweat if it had opened at midnight rather than 7:00. Just like with Harry Potter in July 2011, theatres would have made sure to open up as many midnight screenings as demand required, and viewers that wouldn't have gotten in at midnight damn sure would have been set on going during the Friday proper. It wouldn't have topped $120 million, sure, but $110 million could have been doable.

Re: Friday Numbers
There will be 100m in previews in time (maybe a 370m weekend). The fact that a movie can't open higher than it earns in total affects previews less than OW since the weekend can become more frontloaded (previews are further from the ceiling). Eventually some movies will begin to drop from previews to regular OD.

It actually may be harder to have bigger previews because there isn't going to be as much capacity available. Eh? They just keep building cinemas around here. I doubt we will see number of theaters decline any time soon.

Re: Friday Numbers
How did HP get 43.5m at midnight if the max capacity from 7pm is 57m? Why couldn't something double HP if there were demand?

Re: Friday Numbers
I wish Macbeth was not such a huge financial dud stateside. Wish it could have earned, say, 4 or 5 million. The Weinsteins released it in a very odd way, failing to capitalize on legitimate pros (an A-list cast, positive reviews).

Re: Friday Numbers
Yeah, $100 million will happen. But not for another 4-5 years at least.

Wow I didn't realize DH2 held the single day record longer than any film (4+ years) stretching back to (at least) '82.

Re: Friday Numbers
http://deadline.com/2015/12/star-wars-f ... 201669166/ Disney as well as other sources are reporting that Star Wars: The Force Awakens is currently coming in on the conservative side of projections with a $220M weekend opening, which would still be an all-time record beating Jurassic World‘s $208.8M. Peg that to softer Saturday matinees, however, evening shows could swing these figures higher. Per Disney, Saturday’s day grosses vs. Friday’s day ticket receipts are trailing by 5% for $47M, for a projected $60M Saturday (that’s a 50% decline from yesterday’s opening day record of $120M).

Re: Friday Numbers
I mean it's December and people are most likely still doing last minute Christmas shopping, so it's not that surprising IMO. Not everybody will rush out to see it this weekend, but how it performs over the holidays is going to be a lot of fun to watch.
