Post STAR WARS VII First Week > MOCKINGJAY PART 2 Total Club
Yep. THE FORCE AWAKENS will make more by December 24th than MOCKINGJAY PART 2 makes in total domestically.

For the record, if STAR WARS sets the opening weekend record at $208.9m and then matches AVATAR's Monday-Thursday total of $60.1m, it'll stand at $269m after Christmas Eve. MOCKINGJAY PT. 2 will finish somewhere around $290m domestically. So this is dependent on EPISODE VII breaking the opening weekend record, then beating AVATAR's pace by roughly $5m per day through the week.

This would also, coincidentally, top MAN OF STEEL's total.

You do not get to simultaneously predict a $260m total gross and a $290m+ first week.

I'm in the process of attendance/gross projection for TFA, and was looking back into JW's attendance.  Found this:

https://deadline.com/2015/06/jurassic-world-weekend-box-office-spy-entourage-insidious-chapter-3-1201441812/


Quote:
Other parts of the exhib and distrib biz are feeling the halo effect of JW in the marketplace. RealD recorded its best domestic weekend ever from JW with $71M (35% of the domestic weekend), beating Avengers’ $70M  Ticket seller Fandango reported that Friday was their highest sales day in the 15-year history of the company thanks to Uni’s dinosaurs. Imax reports that it had near non-stop sell-outs for JW with a record opening domestic weekend of $20.6M on 363 IMAX screens (or 10% of the gross). This outstripped Dark Knight Rises’ $19M. Imax per screen was $57K.  The top five stateside venues were Imax engagements as were nine of the top 10, and 17 of the top 20. On Friday alone, Imax posted its best-ever domestic single day thanks to JW with $8.6M. Among North American movie theaters this weekend, seven of the top 10 and 10 of the top 13 were AMC theatres. PLF format is reporting $16.2M for JW or 8% of the gross, beating Ultron‘s $13.1M. Cinemark XD took in $4.3M. In regards to all these records being set by Imax and PLF, Universal president of domestic distribution exclaimed, “It’s no wonder — it’s the way people want to see Jurassic World.”


This allowed me to get a proper estimate of JW's OW attendance.  

100.8M 2D
71.0M 3D (RealD)
20.6M IMAX
16.2M PLF


Given the film went up from estimates, its likely that the splits for 3D/IMAX/PLF are actually like 1% higher.  This yields an attendance estimate of 19.5M-19.8M tickets.  The typical trend is that as the gross extends, the 3D share tends to drop as cheaper 2D shows become less saturated, but IMAX gross tends to deteriorate much slower.  If the splits did not change dramatically over the course of its run, JW finished with a domestic total of 61-64M tickets.

However, this link suggests that the IMAX gross was at 116M at the time of the IMAX re-release.

http://www.digitaltrends.com/movies/jurassic-world-imax-3d/

It does not clarify if that is a WW number of a US domestic number.  If its domestic, we're looking at ~120M from IMAX at the end, and a final domestic attendance of 59-60M tickets.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's my OW attendance list:

Quote:
I've taken into account every factor that was posted as best as I can (IMAX/3D/Other/etc.).  Unfortunately, no one's ever provided a children audience share, so I cannot account for youth tickets, though in some of the weekend breakdowns, we're told the fraction of the audience that is over/under 25.  Notably, 2 of the top 3 openers have a over/under 25 split of 50%, TDK and TA, but SM3 had a split of 63% under the age of 25, so I think it's fair to say that in actuality, it holds the true crown for OW attendance, likely a little over 23M.  In the same manner, you can do a mental adjustment for any film that might lean younger (such as Potter or Shrek, or TDK vs. TA).


TDK - 22.4M
SM3 - 22.1M
TA - 21.8M
DMC - 20.7M
NM - 19.9M
JW - 19.8M
SM1 - 19.7M
TDKR - 19.4M
DH2 - 19.0M
CF - 18.9M
THG - 18.9M
AOU - 18.6M
BD1 - 18.2M
IM3 - 18.1M
BD2 - 18.0M
Shrek 3 - 18.0M
Shrek 2 - 17.5M (20.9M 5-day)
ROTS - 17.0M (24.9M 4-day)
AWE - 17.0M (22.6M 5-day)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With that in mind, we can project what TFA needs to do in order to take the attendance crown.

With similar 3D/IMAX/PLF splits to JW (35%/10%/8%), a record 22.5M tickets sold would yield a gross of 237.7M.  This would be:

111.1M 2D
82.4M 3D (RealD)
24.1M IMAX (2D/3D)
18.8M PLF


Basically, IF the splits remain the same as JW, anything from 230-237M is in the same territory as TDK/SM3/TA1.  If we're hitting 240.0M, its likely that the attendance record has fallen.  

BUT IMO, its shares are going to be higher due to A.) sellouts and B.) high IMAX/premium demand.  2D sellouts will force folks into 3D shows, and the general awareness/marketing push for IMAX has just notably strong.  The shares for both of those will likely be higher than JW.  I'm imagining something like the following:

40.0% 2D
38.0% 3D (RealD)
12.0% IMAX (2D/3D)
10.0% PLF


At this level, a record 22.5M tickets sold would yield a gross of 246.5M.  This would result in splits of:
 
90.7M 2D
93.7M 3D (RealD)
29.4M IMAX (2D/3D)
24.6M PLF

IF such splits occur, 237-246M is in the same territory as TDK/SM3/TA1.  If we crack 246M, its likely we're looking at a marginal new OW attendance record.  At 250M, its almost a sure thing (unless the 3D share is even higher).

Now just for fun, how many tickets would a 275.0M and 300.0M OW be?

At the JW splits:

275.0M = 26.0M tickets
300.0M = 28.4M tickets

At the latter splits:

275.0M = 25.1M tickets
300.0M = 27.4M tickets

I think the target for SW7 is 20m in tickets sold.

I'm in, should be very close. But I think SW will edge it out by 5-10 million.
