The star Wars has broken the record of Harry Potter 2...

Brack

Another historic weekend. Don't know how to do the boxofficemojo image like Rich, but TFA has the second largest 2nd weekend of all time. Avatar's domestic could be broken before or right after New Year weekend. Simply amazing. Is a billion out of the question domestically? Will be interesting to see where it goes after the holidays, but I'm thinking it will still be doing well but maybe with more traditional blockbuster drops, but many might still be waiting until after the holiday crowds are gone.

Love the movie, want to see it again. Need to change my Avatar vs TFA vote in that inane thread (just ribbing you OldBoy).

Mid-week Update:

Star Wars: The Force Awakens had a strong week and is now up to $629m domestically. That places it in 4th place overall in the current All Time - Unadjusted charts and is now Disney's highest grossing movie to date. It likely will surpass Titanic and Jurassic World today.

Daddy's Home had a remarkably strong week as well, on top of its $38m weekend, it has grossed another $20m Monday - Wednesday, it should be at around $85m by the end of the weekend.

Sisters is quietly doing well and approaching $50m, currently at $46.8m. Joy is fairing pretty well for a movie about a mop, crossing $25m since opening last Friday. The Big Short is sitting at around $22m and has a pretty strong per theater average ($1,200, making it 3rd in the top 10.) Concussion is getting knocked around and is crawling forward from at around $15.7m.

Point Break is also suffering a slow demise in another painfully poor release for Warner Brothers. It's currently at $14.4m. Warners last release (In the Heart of the Sea) suffered a similar fate and is sitting at $22.3m. Prior to that, The 33, Our Brand is Crisis, and Pan had similar issues. At least they have Creed, which should cross $100m this weekend.

Hateful Eight scored $3.5m on its first day of wide release (roughly 2000 theaters, up from 100 (it pulled $993k on Tuesday)) and is currently sitting at $10.2m.

Shannon Nutt

Star Wars will almost certainly be the #2 domestic film of all time come Monday morning...and pass Avatar's domestic record before mid-January...if it even takes that long. This film is going to make a billion in domestic grosses.

RichC2

If it sticks to its current pattern, it should have Avatar beat by the 5th at the latest. But with schools going back in, and schedules normalizing, it's tough to say how it'll do on the 4th and 5th.

Opening weekend had the benefit of a massive Thursday night preview which grossed $57m, if you take that out of the $248m overall, it was only a 21.9% drop from Weekend 1 ($191m) to Weekend 2 ($149m). The midweek performance suggests it'll have a 20 - 25% drop this weekend, so a $120m third weekend isn't out of the question -- in which case, it will have Avatar beat by Sunday.

Matthew Chmiel

It should beat Avatar by Monday at the latest. Really the only "questionable" days will be today (NYE) and Sunday. If it beats $760M on Sunday or Monday, its still one hell of a fucking feat.

Based upon how the grosses have been trending, a $100M+ third weekend should be a given. However, with Sunday being the final day before kids go back to school, I wouldn't be surprised with a third weekend in the high $90s.

DthRdrX

It will also still have the weather working for it here in the NE. I can't remember ever having mid to high 60s in late December/Early January.

bdshort

I think it should just beat out Avatar by Sunday. It's just a hair over $130 million short, and it seems like it's been taking in just under $30 mill every weekday this week. Despite being NYE today, I think it'll still be around that number, and I don't think it'll be a huge problem for it to make a bit over $100 million this weekend. The things I'm most interested in seeing are:
1) Will it make $1 billion domestic? I think this is almost a certainty at this point.
2) Can it beat Avatar for the worldwide BO crown? This probably all depends on China? I hear Avatar was huge there, and Star Wars isn't as popular there as elsewhere, so who knows.
3) Where will it fall on the adjusted for inflation list? If it can crack $1 billion domestic, that should put it into the top 10, which would make it the only movie from this century to make it there. A quick google search shows an average ticket price of $8.61... which seems kind of low to me, but I'm used to paying $11 for a regular 2D movie ticket.

d2cheer

Overall a pretty poor opening for a Tarantino flick (15 million or so). Wonder if it will have any legs.

RichC2

It was a weak opening, but when you get right down to it, the TV ads are vague as hell and is basing everything on "It's a Tarantino flick."

But the movie has already made $30m domestically, and only had a $44m budget.

HN

The top 10 domestic is a pretty exclusive club:

2 for Cameron
2 for Lucas
2 for Nolan
2 for Whedon
2 for the guys taking over Star Wars (1 Abrams / 1 Trevorrow)

RichC2

That list will change soon. It won't be long before movies grossing $400m+ are deemed disappointments.

Oh wait, that already kind of happened with Age of Ultron.

Honestly, I think they may be overshooting on Sunday's estimate a little. Still this should clear $125m with no problem. This also made an estimated $125m overseas this weekend for $250m - $260m opening weekend. It still has Japan, South Korea and Italy to open in.

I started playing around on the stock market again recently and have a single call option (worth 100 shares) on Fox stock, I'm authentically curious to see how it reacts to this news.

OldBoy

holy fuck!! way to go RR, way to go R rated superhero flicks!!

That sound you hear is Ryan Reynolds exhaling in relief as his career is resuscitated. This is a bigger opening weekend than any of the X-Men/Wolverine movies.

Crazy that it's even the biggest opening weekend for Fox.
