Re: Weekend Estimates
In the Heart of the Sea certainly became a contender for worst-performance of the year this weekend, if it wasn't already considered so.

Re: Weekend Estimates
Wonder how well Creed will hold up the rest of the holidays. Kind of telling that there really isn't a comparable movie for it.
As for TFA... Could it have 3 weekends above 100 mil? Only posing the questions because holidays fall on great days on the calendar

Re: Weekend Estimates
Damn Disney went very careful with Sunday. 29% drop is pretty big prediction. This is doing $240M.

Re: Weekend Estimates
JW dropped 18 % on Sunday.... What if SW7 dropped like AVATAR (3 %)? (I know, winter storms)

Re: Weekend Estimates
The reason the first Hobbit dropped 29% on Sunday was because it's not the weekend before Christmas. Many people will take the whole Christmas week off. The last Hobbit dropped 21.7% on Sunday, and that's a better ballpark number to use. Sunday will definitely increase with actual.

Re: Weekend Estimates
The weekend attendance record must be close. With $238M it's in the 'impossible to determine' range.

Re: Weekend Estimates
Truly astonishing opening for Star Wars. To see it beat the previous weekend record by $30 million while opening in a month that is traditionally more about longevity than huge starts is incredible. We'll see where the upcoming holidays take it with regards to Avatar's domestic record, but it's abundantly clear that we're dealing with something that has no useful precedent to use for comparison. No matter how it shakes out, though, the film is a monster.
Really, there were many factors that contributed to the mammoth opening: the ad campaign from Disney, which was perfect at every single stage; the clear appeal to nostalgia, specifically for the beloved original trilogy; overwhelmingly positive reviews; and hype so huge that its ripples have been felt in great force ever since tickets went on sale two months ago. While it perhaps didn't hit the ceiling of what a film is capable of doing in a single weekend (plus five hours of Thursday), it came pretty damn close.
It's no small achievement that it has taken Jurassic World's $208.8 million opening from June - which seemed almost unfathomably huge at the time - and made it look small by comparison.
