That's 4 day and total gross.

I agree with this opening but I say over 400 final gross.

You know?? :-k Despite the fact this looks great and all, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to really keep it real as well, especially after AOTC opened with 80 Million in it's 1st weekend so my OFFICIAL Prediction for this is now as follows:

3 day weekend: 85 Million

4 day weekend: 120 Million

Overall Domestic: 330-350 Million..

Yeah... I really think this movie is going to build. Its edge will give it more.

But people always forget that Star Wars films do NOT open as wide as most average blockbusters do.

I really do hope that this opens big and smashes all the records in the box office but realistically i expect

105 million 3 day weekend
140 million 4 day weekend

and although i love the trailer i do think it will alienate some of the childrens market so i dont expect this to be as big as Phantom Menace so i'll say

350-375 million total with it possibly doing more if it is an out of this world movie

we can always hope right?

Wow, I don't have an official prediction yet.

Opening day: I will assume that there are enough fans taking the day off to sell out opening day regardless of screen count. We learned from RotK that the max opening day is ~$34M, but RotK was 3.5 hr long. SW is likely to be (?)2:15-2:30 or so. hmmm..

Opening day (Thursday): $38M

Opening weekend: I don't believe that a Thursday opening will bleed off any of Fri-Sat-Sun. There are enough casual fans for the weekend, and any slack will be picked up by repeat viewings from diehards.

Fri-Sat-Sun: $86M

4-day: $124M


Mem day weekend: $75M

3rd weekend drop: after the initial hype, it will drop, but not as fast as Reloaded. Any traditional Star Wars hype will be canceled out by the now-traditional backlash of the fans who conclude that RotS was "meh." Also this is when competition -- yes, competition for Star Wars -- will kick in.
3rd weekend drop: $75M drops to $43M = ~42% drop

I expect about 35% drops for a month, then 40% after that when you lose screens. That would give me a domestic total of about $315, but I'm going to fudge and add a little bit.

Domestic total: $325M.

Or, going by a shorter formula, AotC made -- shoot, wasn't it close to TTT, like $335M? SW prequels appear to follow the Sequel Rule, and movie quality doesn't appear to have much bearing on the Sequel Rule (much like Harry Potter). Therefore, RotS should make much less than AotC, but I predict it will make only a little less, due to inflation and the whole "it's the last one" thing.

International ~$350M. SW isn't nearly as popular as LotR was overseas.

WW Total: $675M

By the way, I am fully prepared to be "pwnt" if this movie gets good reviews and WOM.

I think this movie is going to kick all kinds of ass. The build up for this one looks very tangible and I think it will do better than Clones.

Opening 85- 3 Day
4 day- 120
Domestic 375
WW 850 mill

I bet in 1997 if I said "Titanic will make $1.8 billion worldwide!" you would also say "You know that's literally impossible!"
