>>63874138
>doubled its budget in 2 days
Impressive. Most impressive.
>Beating the weekend record by 30 million
Couldn't even make it to a clean 240 million, kinda sad
>>63874138
Is that Star Wars and if so source? Is this good? I mean, it's already at half a billion. That has to be good right?
>>63874236
It's pretty impressive considering it wasn't a Summer blockbuster and that the previous record was 77 million.
2 billion in a month
/polgbtv/ blown the fuck out again
>>63874236
Weekend isn't over.
>>63874236
That's Disney's number. Industry calculations say 241-246 right now.
>dropped 46% from Friday to Saturday figures
Hahahaha
wont even get close to Furious7
>>63874236
Disney are lowballing it incase it misses industry expectations. It'll be a couple of million short of 250 in the actuals.
>>63874213
Shame its shilling cost is probably like $400 million
>>63874549
good thing they made that much in toy sales before it was released
>>63874596
revenue=/=profit
only a completely delusional ass faggot would think star wars wouldn't make truck loads of money
Reminder that anything below 4 billion is a bomb to iger and his j_w hollywood accountants
>>63874629
Your statement is completely irrelevant
The first person bought up that they cost that it "probably cost them $400 million shilling" (It was 250, making the total budget 450).
The second stated that [the revenue] they made in toy sales was already around that figure before the movie was even released, meaning that bringing up the high cost doesn't mean much because they've already covered it.
Everyone knows revenue=/=profit. That's not what was being discussed. You sound butthurt as fuck that It's making a lot of money.
>>63874767
>You sound butthurt as fuck
Im not the one writing plenty of text to prove a point mate
>>63874515
Because the Friday figure includes Thursdays midnight releases
The only other movie that came close to making this much money on pre-releases was the last Harry Potter movie and It dropped 53.4%
>>63874213
Disney still has to recuperate the 4 billion it paid to Lucas.
>only made 30 million more than jurassic world in america
wait how is this impressive exactly?
>>63874796
Don't call me mate, cunt
>>63874844
its not, Jurassic only shown Friday to Sunday whereas this went all out desperate for the title
>>63874836
It's gonna make anywhere between 1.5 - 2 billion on this movie. That's not counting all the toys and shit. Then there's Rogue One, Ep. VIII, the Han Solo movie, and Ep. IX all coming out within the next 4 years.
Wonder what the numbers would have been it it had opened in China.
>>63874836
and? Do really think that isn't going to happen. Hell they probably already have with fucking merchandise alone.
>>63874908
I do wonder how the late release will affect the box office in China
I mean, they don't get much Western Media do because alot is banned right, so It's not like they'd even see much of the hype and reviews It's getting
>>63874213
The advertising investment on rebooting the entire series for this movie is probably over $500m, I don't think they'll see a real return on the movies until 8.
>>63874836
You don't think they already did, or are very close?
Tie in product, toys, videogames, Disneyland attractions, not counting the shares, wich have risen. And add a movie to that.

Terminator and Ant Man did really well in China despite being delayed by months. As long as its remains the hot shit in the West I think it will do well over there.

Been to a store recently?
The Star Wars movies are just another product in a huge multimedia franchise.
>>63874836
You think that hasn't already happened with all the merch?
I feel like Disney Infinity 3.0 alone was probably 1/4 of that
I can't remember a single line that was worth spamming here.

it already underperformes compared to jurassic world
probably will end up in 1.1-1.4 range
considering budget inc marketing is about 500kk they will profit like 200 mil

In what way does it under perform to JW? TFA might beat JW's worldwide opening weekend, without China. JW opened in China at the same time as the US, while TFA doesn't open in China until January 9th.

Movies will never make as much they used too.
It's interesting to compare current revenues to inflation-adjusted revenues of old movies but ultimately It's apples to oranges
There were far fewer movies out to see, movies tended to stay in cinema longer and people just went to the movies more in general.
I doubt any movie will ever beat Gone With the Wind, which holds a worldwide inflation adjusted amount of about $3.5 billion or something absurd.
>>63874138
>Tons of people go see a movie that has been hyped for over a year
Color me surprised. I'd actually be surprised if a majority of the people who saw TFA actually watched the first six movies.

good for them
>>63874138
still hasn't beat Episode II yet
how do you explain this?
>>63877381
Because the people who were really looking forward to it saw it on Thursday night, which was rolled into Fridays numbers.
>>63877381
its only an estimate, it'll be higher once the figures come in, pretty easily. alot of the box office metrics and estimation have been lower in recent years
>>63877381
It's the last weekend before Christmas m8, one of the busiest times of the year for people when it comes to shopping and shit, the fact that it BTFO Jurassic World to that degree is ridiculous.

jurassic world includes its thursday pre-opening numbers too

it hasn't even beat the prequels yet and it sure as hell won't beat Avatar. calm down.

>>63877428
i dont know guys
43% and 30% drop off is pretty big for opening weekend. doesnt bode well for second weekend sales

so you're saying it's going to gross 1.4 billion in the US alone?

JUST fuck your shit up
>>63877713
what are you babbling about?
>>63877767
the price of package deals for all 7 films are added to TFA's total. seriously. it's part of the reason Thursday's gross was so high.
>>63877713
>Paying $60 for a mild for of torture
I like some Star Wars movies but I don't understand people like that

If anyone expected something different than success that person is either stupid, in denial, deluded or any combination of those.
>>63877748
he and or you said it hasnt beat the prequels yet
IT HAS BEEN 1 WEEKEND
highest grossing opening weekend for any prequel was ep 3 at $108 million
TFA absolutely destroyed that by more than double
ep 3 ran for 22 weeks and its quite possible TFA will surpass it in its 2 or 3rd week with 20 more to go
>>63877814
>>63877831

how many theatres and people actually did this? cmon you are grasping at straws. probably not more than a couple million accounts for this

Phantom Menace had a lower opening weekend than both Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith and yet made more money overall in its run than both did. And Avatar had a lower opening weekend than AOTC and ROTS as well and still beat the original Star Wars' record.
All TFA's opening box office slam shows is that Disney is good at getting people to see it at least once. What matters is how long it can keep up that same rate until it finally settles.
I doubt it will break 1b

Nope. Avatar will remain on top, dumbass.

wait till tuesday for final numbers to finish rolling in
>>63874138
>THEY PAID ALL THAT FOR A REHASH OF EPISODE IV
by my calculations its has to make 8 billion to break even
>>63881364
Estimates are always higher.
If I could call footage of me squatting down and firing a stream of warm, bubbly diarrhoea out of my bumhole "Star Wars" and show it in theaters it would probably break records.
>>63881486
actually no they arent
that is disney's estimate
the rest of the estimators have it at up to $20m more which is probably a bit high
$530m
cap this

>China likes real life stuff, not scifi fantasy shit.
The new Avengers made a quarter of a billion dollars in China alone
>>63881763
It has good word of mouth, which would make you expect it to have good legs but it literally did not make more money than Jurassic world on Saturday and Sunday. It just doesn't have the same scope.
>>63874836
They'll make that with the 3 new mainline movies alone over the course of the next few years, plus god knows how much more with the Stories movies and the merch.

No. Fox owns distribution only for the first one, the 1977 Star Wars.
The question is whether people will care about the movie 5 years from now.
So, since everything Disney touches it starts printing money I wonder when they will buy Nintendo and starts movies with the franchise.
>>63885251
Fox still own the rights to all 6 movies...but only til 2020 then it will transfer to Disney. But yeah, except for Episode IV, they can keep the rights to that one forever
>>63874236
A lot of people work Saturdays these days and only have Sundays off.
Hell since everyone's off for school now next week will be crazy for dad's taking their kids to see SW.

The 125 Mil are literally only because of the pre-sales by "hardcore nerds" who "loved" star wars since forever and who "hate" the prequels and Lucas because he ruined their "childhood"
