Wow, look at that fucking drop

Are you implying Jurassic World didn't have those Thursday night showings too? Because it did.
You guys are so desperate to label Force Awakens a flop that it's pathetic
What a failure.

Jurassic world didn't have 6pm Thursday showing that were rolled into Friday. It was a given that it was going to have a better opening day than jurassic world, give the franchise's huge fanbase. What's surprising is how long it took (literally one day) for it to drop below Jurassic world in day-to-day earnings.

>Jurassic World didn't have 6pm Thursday showing
Yes it did, fucking moron. I went to one
>>63883773
I don't give a shit about SW but I want it to succeed just to see /tv/ tears. In the long run I'm confident it will beat JW not so sure about Titanic or Avatar. The movie is already doing fantastically yet even faced with the facts a lot of users refuse to accept it.
>>63884013
Alright it did. Do you want to respond to the rest of my post?
Why, in your opinion, has star wars dropped below Jurassic world in day-to-day to-day gross in only its second day in theatres, despite all the points in the OP?
>>63884013
jurassic world only made 18 million in their midnight showings
>>63884042
It failed, anon.
>live in a shithole
>just one cinema near my town
>said cinema has 5 screens
>2 screens are exhibiting star wars all day, everyday
>mfw
I don't hate or love Star Wars, but any movie will make billions like this. It's almost a monopoly.
>>63884042
its made 100 million less than expected
this was back in august
TFA is a critical and financial failure. Literally anyone who isn't actually retarded knew this would happen.
I'm having serious doubts this movie is even going to outpace jurassic world at this rate desu
Will it surpass Avengers?
>>63883565
>estimate
The predictions for the opening were absolutely batshit and there were multiple articles pointing this out months ago
>>63883565
This is nothing to celebrate or gloat over, even if you hate Star Wars or Abrams
China and other int'l market are ruining blockbuster cinema because of business incentives like this
Feels bad man
>>63884284
fucking this
it was too safe and people are retards with the "prequels!" in their mind
>it wasnt the prequel so it was okay!!
it had to be better than the prequels but do new great shit to reach legendary status to beat avatar
FUCK
>>63883565
In the end, the Jews at Disney will get their shekels from SW merchandise.
>Jurassic World
A summer blockbuster that opened internationally with China
>TFA
A blockbuster opening in holiday season with China not getting it for another few weeks
And they're separated by how much at this point?
>>63885823
Do the words "domestic gross" mean nothing to you?
Hint: China doesn't factor in
>>63885860
We'll see m8
>>63883565
I'm gonna go watch it a couple more times actually. I don't know how many people will watch it twice in theatres but it should be a decent amount of more 'hardcore' fans.
It's going to make way more money than avatar no matter what. Just from sw merchandise, video games, toys, posters and other shit. Gonna hook new kiddies to the star wars craze and revitalize old fans as well.
I know a lot people who are refusing to watch the movie during the first week because of all the crazy fanboy shit
So if that can indicative of a larger population, maybe it's just that and sales over the 2 weekends will be huge

What the fuck are you talking about you uneducated spic?
>>63884264
holy shit.
the great part is that these were official estimates, likely based on the performance of JW.
>all these shills pushing for that $238m US prediction
>tfw it turns up being much closer to $200m
It'll be the general election all over again having labour BTFO

real geniuses create their own audience
>>63886515
Actually it made $238m
>>63886320
Let them shitpost l, anon. It's all they have.
>>63886548
it's an estimate.I'm sure it's a solid estimate and it will be in that ballpark, but it is definitely not the final figure.
>>63886548
>estimate
lol
I don't understand why people defend star wars and shill for it so hard. Its pretty embarrassing really. This is just another mindless flick.
>>63886702
wrong. its a step in the right direction for cultural harmony
This is no different than when Apple has a "bad" quarterly report, when they raked in billions and easily surpassed the YOY.
Faggot "analysts" create an echo chamber, trying to outdo each other, and then label it a failure when it doesn't meet their predictions—rather than accepting they failed in their predictions.
TFA made back its production costs in 2 days. That is success.
>>63884921
>ruining blockbuster cinema
And this is bad because...?
>>63886800
Yea more capshit and reboots great
>>63887337
anythings better than more star wars

Didn't know star wars fanboys were this blind.
