$50,013,859 Box Office just for Thursday!
Numbers just went up on http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/days/
This smashes the single day opening, single day (any), Thursday, and is on the way to biggest weekend, and fastest to $200M (probably will tie fastest to $100M with 3 days)

Very impressive.
I do think that it's gonna suffer a slight drop off since all the fanboys saw it on opening day. I'm prediciting about $110 million for Friday - Sunday

I wonder if this film will hit 500M mark. I don't see it passing Titanic, would love to see that...but I don't see that happening sadly.

Yeah, but I see it dropping off, even with this one being better and more people liking it. We'll see. I'm not very good at these box office predictions.

I'm going 30/40/30 mill for the wknd. Minus the midnight 17mill take, were looking at 33million for thurs.
I see a 400mill gross in the future... which would place it right in-between TPM and AOTC, with 500 and 330mill adjusted respectively.

Yeah, but it's already been pirated. Obviously the box office will now drop off to nothing and that dude that paints the sets will be out of work. Damn pirates!

yikes, not bad at all. I think people predicting the lower $$$ figures for totals need to take into account that III is better then I and II... will have MUCH better word-of-mouth and its the last one... I know I'm going to see Ep III again with my dad... but then will catch it at least one more time before it leaves theaters. I mean, its the LAST big screen SW... that is such a huge deal to us fanboys. I dunno about anyone else, but when I see the "...far far away" and then the music kicks in with the crawl I just about cry. I have watched SW on my dads nice HDTV big screen with a good sound system, and it just isn't the same. Anyway, it it hits half a billion I wouldnt be surprised at all. AOTC had a bunch of other big flicks surrounding it... right now in theaters, ROTS stands alone and nothing REALLY significant is coming along until Batman Begins.

Hey genius, it doesn't matter. !2:00 am or 12:01 am are both Thursday. The new day starts at 12:00 am. That's why it switches from PM to AM.

Absolutely no chance.

I think after a $50mil opening day, $500mil is a definite possibility.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say $140mil for Fri-Sun

Since this is supposedly the final Star Wars movie, I assume fanboys will be seeing this over and over and over. I'm not an overly huge fan, but I think I'll see it a couple times. I'm guessing by Sunday the estimate will be at least 150m total (all days), could be close to 175m.
