International - 712m legs = way to bad :down: what on earth makes you think the best star wars film in over 20 years is just going to fall like a stone [-X that prediction is hilarious and yes BJ thinks its imposible. 400m+ says BJ, and he has high hopes for a 500m gross  My belief that quality doesn't make that much of a difference when it comes to the legs of franchise films of this nature. :wink: Really, it is conventional wisdom that quality will have a major effect, however, what clear evidence is there to suggest that it does? These films overwelmingly are frontloaded regardless of WOM (From X2 to Kill Bill Vol. 2). When they are not (TPM) it is appearent that some other factor other then WOM must have been at play.
I'll go into more detail on this in the weekend wrap-up article. :wink:
As far as factors that will cause frontloading, there is the fanbase. It's true that it's been there for TPM and AOTC, however, neither of those opened in nearly 3,600+ theaters or with 9,400 prints. That will have a major impact as the film will meet the demand right away, which is good for opening weekend, but bad for legs (I might add though that it's good for the film overall). Furthermore, this film will appeal less towards families given that it is darker and with a PG-13 rating. Competition for that audience will also be far greater this time around with Madagascar, which will hurt the second weekend. The family audience is the most important when it comes to legs, so that will also prove to have an impact. The competition in the second week will also take screens away from ROTS. How often do two films of that size open on the same weekend? Finally, the trend from TPM's multiplier of over 6 to AOTC's of 3.5 should mean a lower multiplier for ROTS. That is normal though as nearly all franchises get more frontloaded over time.
Hey BJ, I remember when we were comparing our similar predictions for The Ring Two a few months ago. We were wrong about the opening, but we nailed the legs. :wink: You should know better. :razz: :wink:

At this point, I wouldn't rule out $400 million. If it gets around $150 million for the 4-day, and has legs like Attack of the Clones, that's still over $400 million. I'm not going to say anything right now and set it up for a dissapointment, but it's not out of the question.
Anyone still think 2005 is doing badly? :wink:

Anyone still think 2005 is doing badly? :wink: In a way yes. Even if we say that it gets 400m, it still would be shy of Shrek 2.
Although I think the weak numbers this year are related to the number of wide releases.

Of course it is. Even if SW3 substitutes for Shrek 2, are you seeing any HP3 in June and a $373m monster in July?
Also, I'm trying hard to look for surprises like F9/11 and The Notebook, and frankly, it's hard to find any potential blockbuster like Bounre Supremacy.
And oh yeah, this year still had no Passion. That's a $370m hurdle to overcome.
I hate this year. So bloody boring. SW3 is the only major thing we had, and it might fall short of 3 2004 releases.
And no Pixar  _________________In order of preference: Christian, Argos MadGez wrote: Briefs. Am used to them and boxers can get me in trouble it seems. Too much room and maybe the silkiness have created more than one awkward situation. My Box-Office Blog: http://boxofficetracker.blogspot.com/

And there are always surprises... If you see them coming they are not surprises anymore.

Guys,
Advance 'Star Wars' tickets sold at record rates
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Movie fans dressed as Jedi Knights, wookies and droids lined up for hours on Wednesday for sold-out midnight showings of the final "Star Wars" movie, as record advance ticket sales promised one of the biggest film openings of all time.
"Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" was set to debut at 12:01 a.m. Thursday with some 9,400 prints showing in nearly 3,700 North American theaters, making it the widest release for any of the six installments in the "Star Wars" saga.
Only two other movies, "Shrek 2" and "Spider-Man 2," have opened wider [box: they mean print count; SW3's 9,400 prints are third behind Shrek 2 and SM2].
"Revenge of the Sith," the third and final "prequel" to the original 1977 "Star Wars" film, features the story of how a promising young Jedi, Anakin Skywalker, turns to the dark side of The Force and becomes the evil Darth Vader.
It is the first "Star Wars" in the series to be rated PG-13, a more restrictive classification than the PG label carried by the others, due to a higher level of violence.
But "Sith," distributed by 20th Century Fox, also has generally enjoyed a much warmer reception from critics than either of the last two prequels.
Box office analysts said they expected "Sith" to easily gross $35 million to $40 million domestically on its first day alone, and at least match the $110 million opening weekend tally of its immediate predecessor -- "Episode II -- Attack of the Clones."
"It's a forgone conclusion that $100 million is going to be achieved by the end of the weekend," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box office tracking service Exhibitor Relations. "The question is just how high can it go."
"Clones," which also opened on a Thursday, ranks as the most successful "Star Wars" opening yet. But the first prequel in the series, "Episode I -- Phantom Menace," went on to generate a bigger box office in the long run, grossing more than $922 million worldwide.
Collectively, the first five "Star Wars" films have grossed $1.8 billion in the United States and Canada and a total of $3.8 billion globally.
Hollywood executives are counting on the latest "Star Wars" to shake the industry out of a 12-week box office slump. Optimism about the blockbuster potential of "Sith" came largely from brisk advance ticket orders.
Retail ticket service Fandango reported that it was selling four "Star Wars" tickets per second on Wednesday, making "Sith" its hottest title ever.
Likewise, the nation's two biggest movie theater chains each reported record advance ticket sales for "Sith," surpassing previous benchmarks set by "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King."
"The majority of our midnight shows are sold out this evening, but we are adding capacity as we speak," said Dick Westerling, spokesman for No. 1 exhibitor Regal Entertainment.
Both Regal and No. 2 AMC Entertainment said they were scrambling to open additional screenings to handle the overflow demand from fans who miss the midnight showing, as costumed "Star Wars" devotees lined up hours ahead of time to get the best seats.
"Spider-Man 2" boasts the biggest first-day box office ever, $40.4 million, while "Shrek 2" holds the record for highest single-day gross -- $44.8 million earned in its fourth day of release.
The original "Spider-Man" is the all-time weekend box office champ, grossing nearly $115 million in its first Friday-through-Sunday frame.

-----------
So what will that mean for the weekend numbers? Industry insiders are predicting a four-day opener in the range of $125 million-$160 million -- with the potential to best some impressive numbers. The biggest Thursday opening day, according to Nielsen EDI, was $42.5 million for Warner Bros. Pictures' "The Matrix Reloaded" in May 2003, which included Wednesday night previews starting at 10 p.m. "Reloaded" also holds the distinction of being the best four-day opener, with $134.3 million. Industry insiders are predicting that "Sith" could surpass both figures.
Another record in "Sith's" sights is DreamWorks' "Shrek 2" mark for any one day: $44.8 million during the first Saturday of its May 2004 release. But with the boxoffice in the doldrums for the past three months, no one is betting on anything.
At this year's ShoWest convention, Lucas did call the final installment of his epic adventure "Titanic in Space," but the likelihood of "Sith" reaching $600 million in total domestic box office is remote, even for the likes of Darth Vader.

Just in from CNN:
Exhibitors in Mexico are expecting/hoping for an opening of $9m in Mexico.
Incredibles $6m
SM2 $10.43m
Shrek 2 $10.9m
HP3 $7.4m
The Passion $7.9M
ROTK $5.1m
Reloaded $5.8m
TTT $5.9m
AOTC $$3.4m
Spider-Man 1 $12.9m 
You can see that $9m would be huge, esp. given AOTC's pathetic sum (it opened after SM's monstrous gross).
So yeah, this is fantastic news from Mexico. _________________In order of preference: Christian, Argos MadGez wrote: Briefs. Am used to them and boxers can get me in trouble it seems.

The weekend, of course.
Outside of the USA, only the UK and Japan, though rarely, have daily numbers that are
-worthy.
Btw, I think it's not impossible for the film to make $300m WW in its first week. _________________In order of preference: Christian, Argos MadGez wrote: Briefs.

I'm so content with the movie that my possible dissapointment with it's gross completly dissapeared.
Whatever it gross, it's fine with me.

Wow. Sad news. I've pirated a few movies from time to time, but Star Wars? How can you even enjoy watching a two-bit theater-cam copy of that? I'd pay the $5.50 or whatever for that anytime rather then pirating it.

It's the same with SM2, ROTK, etc.
And plus, the quality is bound to be crap. What a waste of time and hard drive space. _________________In order of preference: Christian, Argos MadGez wrote: Briefs.

But to each his own I suppose, eh? In the long run I don't think this is going to hurt the film's gross very much at all.

What an experience it was indeed, the people downloading this pirated crap are missing out on a fun time because they are cheap and lazy.

Lazy I am, cheap not so, just don't have money. 
Anyway, planning to see it couple more times in theaters for sure...quite a feat for me as haven't seen any movie twice in theater. Not counting 1997 OT.

Prequel Trilogy vs Other Trilogies (only completed trilogies above the current total of the PT are listed)
The first dollar amount is the total gross of all three movies in that trilogy, the second dollar amount is the minimum amount Revenge of the Sith has to gross at the US box office in order for the Star Wars prequel trilogy to top that particular trilogy. In other words if Revenge of the Sith grosses over $319 million at the US box office, the Prequel Trilogy will become the top grossing trilogy of all time unadjusted.
1. Star Wars OT - $1,060,779,251 - $319,014,214 (Could easily happen)
2. Lord of the Rings - $1,033,551,625 - $291,786,588 (Very likely to happen)
3. Harry Potter - $828,439,167 - $86,674,130 (Will do it in 2 or 3 days)
4. Jurassic Park - $767,326,501 - $25,561,464 (Probably already done it)
Top Trilogies Worldwide
Same as the chart above but this one compares worldwide box office numbers. So if Revenge of the Sith grosses over $1,342.6 million worldwide the Star Wars prequel trilogy will overtake the Lord of the Rings trilogy to become #1.
1. Lord of the Rings - $2,916,600,000 - $1,342,600,000 (not gonna happen)
2. Harry Potter - $2,637,100,000 - $1,063,100,000 (Very unlikely)
3. Jurassic Park - $1,902,100,000 - $328,100,000 (gonna happen very soon)
4. Star Wars OT - $1,788,900,000 - $214,900,000 (Could happen this weekend)

If Episode III makes over $50 million today, I'm pretty confident it won't make more than $85 million for the 3-day weekend. Everyone is seeing it today, and it's going to throw off the normal balance of a normal 4-day.

I'm sure the average family or child will wait until the weekend. It's the fans who are impatient. If it goes over $50 million today, I see around $100-$110 million for the weekend.

I am currently trying to broker a deal with God: if it grosses $50m on day 1, it will not gross less than $90m during the weekend.
That would be just very annoying and stressful and stuff.
Hey, after that tsunami, he owes us :grin:

Yeah plus most people I've talked to who have seen it at the midnight showings are planning on seeing it 2 or 3 times atleast.
