Daily TFA box office update
>UPDATE #1: Disney is estimating Star Wars: The Force Awakens brought in $37.3 million on Tuesday, enough for a new Tuesday record, topping The Amazing Spider-Man's $35 million opening day back in 2012. The film has now crossed $325 million domestically, becoming the fastest to ever do so as it dropped only 7% from its record-breaking Monday. Additionally, it added another $41.3 million internationally bringing its global cume to $689.4 million.
>The 7% drop is a bit off of Avatar's 1.83% Tuesday drop, which does adjust our previous calculations for the rest of the week based on Avatar's dailies. The results, should Star Wars follow Avatar's first week daily drops and increases would now look like this:
>Monday: $40.1 M (33.76% drop) / $288.1 M (actual)
>Tuesday: $37.3 M (7.01% drop) / $325.4 M (estimate)
>——- Wed-Sun projections based on Avatar first week dailies ——-
>Wednesday: $38.1 M (2.23% increase) / $363.5 M
>Thursday: $25.9 M (32.19% drop) / $389.4 M
>Friday: $53.6 M (107.11% increase) / $442.9 M
>Saturday: $65.6 M (22.43% increase) / $508.5 M
>Sunday: $56.2 M (14.24% drop) / $564.7 M ($175.3 M weekend)

Flop of the century

Christmas weekend is coming up nigger. It's going to make $100 mil a day for the next three days. Screencap this.
>>64011078
>James, what do you think of the new Star Wars movie?
>>64011200
Most of the target audience has already seen the movie by now.
It'll only drop after this christmas weekend.
>>64011255
My family and I have already seen it and we are all going again on Christmas Day. I wonder how many families are doing something similar
>>64011200
it cant' even beat an anime and a mountain movie in Japan and Korea. Face the music brah
>>64011289
nearly every person i know says they are going to see it on xmas
better get your tickets now
>/tv/ is now doing sports announcements for two shit hack pleb movies
>>64011289
Me and my little sis are seeing it IMAX on Christmas and we've both already seen it
>>64011347
My wife's husband's son and I will see it again too.
>>64011145
It will take a shitload of population growth to ever beat Avatar. It started the short lived 3D gimmick.
>>64011255
My wife's mix race daughter wants me to go see it with her for a 2nd time, i think there is still an audience for this movie
>>64011315
>/tv/ is suddenly box office analytics experts
>>64011289
people won't go watch a movie they've already seen right on the christmas
Christmas is the busiest day of the year at theaters. TFA is going to shatter records this Friday.
>>64011543
why?
>>64011591
Because normal functioning human beings never see the same movie twice inside a theater
>James, what can you say about the people that taught that A New Hope v 1.50 made by a kike can beat Titanic or even Avatar?
>heh, meme...
>>64011148
>Flop of the century
worst movie ever
not even making any duckets
>TFA
Good, albeit very flawed film
>Avatar
Nothing redeemable about it
>>64011591
It is an important holiday to spend with family, eating stuff and celebrating in the comfort of your home. Star Wars will underperform this weekend and then drop the ball completely in the following weeks due to fatigue.
>>64011645
my gf saw titanic 4 times in the theatre
Can we stop and laugh at all the people who thought this shit would beat Titanic, let alone Avatar?
Based Jim singlehandedly cucked possibly the biggest movie franchise of all time.
>>64011778

totally understable mate, I saw Titanic 3 times with 3 different girls back then, perfect movie date for fucking

>>64011543
I havent seen it yet but Im going with my brother and nephew on Christmas afternoon and they have already seen it.
>>64011850
who are you trying to kid? you couldnt get laid in a morgue
>people go to the cinema on christmas or boxing day
I can't imagine anything less comfy
>>64011923
Licensing profits don't matter, this film has to single-handedly make back the $4 Billion that Disney spent on the Star Wars IP, as well as cover the $800 Million spent on the film itself.
This bomb'll be what kills Star Wars. Wouldn't be surprised if they cancel Episode VIII soon.
It won't even beat the Avengers movies.
>>64011975
my local theatre shows the yule log screensaver for 3 hours and i go every year
its only $5 and comfy as fuck
americans go to the cinema on christmas?
>>64011925
less than half
With the most insane marketing the world's ever seen
Jew Jew shouldn't have jewed it up, all that feminism and multicultralism and evil white guys
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/star-wars-force-awakens-audience-834230
and only white males are going to see it. Imagine if they made it for that audience? Avatar would be BTFO for real
>>64011975
>>64012039
this desu, I didn't even think they were open on those days
>>64011975
I imagine people without large families, or who live away from their family, would still do something on Christmas and going to the movies is a pretty standard thing people do for leisure
Not everyone has family gatherings on Christmas
>>64012002
wait wait wait, so you think the Disney executives thought this movie would make 4.8 billion dollars?
>>64011961
nah mate, Titanic is really the perfect movie for fucking. girls really get emotional over the movie and really vurnerable, 2 of those girls even cried while we were having sex lol
>>64011078
>mfw I snuck in on tuesday so they didn't get my money
>>64012002
>, this film has to single-handedly make back the $4 Billion that Disney spent on the Star Wars IP
what ass did you attempt to pull this out of?
they paid $4b for all of lucasfilms which includes indiana jones, ILM and the rights to create properties in the star wars universe in perpetuity
they are making no less than 6 new star wars films before they eventually reboot and start all over again
stay delutional

Dude, I know this gets said a lot around here, but in all honesty you should probably leave.

JUST
>>64012176
it was mate it was. it was a good fuck even
>>64012039
its like one of the most popular movie days.... after 5 pm most people are done with family shit and everyone is off work... so why not
>>64012186
>Furious 7
China alone made up 33% of Foreign gross
>>64012186
right? only americans are able to endure shit like TFA, it's not gonna make it even past Avengers budgetwise because it has no appeal to asians
>>64012002
>>64012153
No, it's bait. It's the same clown force-posting the "Rey looks smug" meme because it conforms to everyone's shallow knowledge of autism. Probably also the "Rey sucked alien dicks" fag, too. Cancer, all.
>>64011289
literally pleb: the family
embarrassing lmao
>>64012039
yes, you just spent time with the family you dont even like a couple weeks ago at thanksgiving and now you have to do it again. everyone hates each other and has nothing to talk about so its easy to go kill 2 or 3 hours instead of each other
>>64012249
Adding 33% to TFA's overseas gross only puts it at 40/60. Still pathetic for a movie in 2015.
>>64011645
That is not true at all
Especially for Star Wars
>>64012350
its only lower because its so successful in america
that doesnt mean less people will watch it overseas you fucking moron
>>64012292
>hello anon! want to join your family on Christmas and go see star wars? It will be fun!
>pure pleb. into the trash it goes.
>dont mind him...he's one of those "artsy" types.
>it's a reddit deludes itself that TFA will touch Jimmy C's kinema
I'll be seeing it a third time soon, what viewing are you lot on?
>>64012389
>it's only lower because its overseas success doesn't come close to matching its domestic success
Correct! And that's why this movie, and star wars in general, will never, EVER come close to Avatar.
I'm watching it today again :)
>>64012413
Sorry, neither my parents nor siblings want to see commercial garbage. It only takes a semblance of taste too; they're not close to being "cinephiles."
My brother's wife talked about wanting to see TFA. She's a raging pleb tBh. Also talked about how she enjoyed Mockingjay.
>>64012186
>hey Jim, take a look at TFA's numbers!
>>64012249
>Looking through Foreign box office numbers for Furious 7
>Domestic it made $1 per person
>Most Western English, or High-English fluent countries it also made between 50c-$1.5 per person (Australia was highest I could see, with $1.66 per person)
>Then you have Finland, a country of 5.5 million people, where it made $24,963,173, equaling $4.5 per person
What the actual fuck Finland
That legitimately means about half the population of Finland watched Furious 7
>>64012490
poor trigger control mang.
>>64012039
in between opening presents in the morning and the Christmas dinner, yes
>>64012458
dude
it doesnt matter if its 10%, 50% or 90%... its total number of sales not percentage of the global box office
>>64012389
TFA needs to make over 1 billion in China alone to even stand a chance at touching Avatar. That obviously won't happen, so it's all over.
You turds have to be trolling at this point.
>>64012561
>Opening presents in the morning
You absolute savages

I work at a cinema (pls no bully), it's an absolute shitshow on Christmas.
I love /tv/'s reaction.
The constant denial, backtracking and moving the goalposts is hilarious.
>TFA will be shit! Fucking Jew Jew Abrams, fucking nigger main character, fucking SJWs! People won't accept this! It will be worse than the prequels and a total flop!
>Trailer drops

>I-i-t'll still be a flop! Guaranteed to be shit! Phantom Menace sold well too before people realised it was shit! N-nigger character!
>TFA releases. 5 star reviews, record opening day. People love Johhny B's performance and he's very well received.
>o-ok it might not be as bad as we thought, but it's still not going to beat Jurassic World! Disney are finished!
>Beats Jurassic World, despite being released in off-season and no Chinese release.
>FUCKING SHIT FILM, MARY SUE JEW SHIT. PREQUEL LOVE THREAD. WHO FUCKING LOVES ATTACK OF THE CLONES? I DO. BASED GEORGE LUCAS. TFA WON'T BEAT AVATAR, I FUCKING SWEAR TO GOD. BASED CAMERON.
>>64012571
Of course it matters you fucking idiots. Even if this movie ends up with a 40/60 split after China, if it makes a lofty $800m domestically that's only $1.2b overseas, not even enough to come close to Titanic's fucking 1997 gross. It was over before it began. Perhaps now you will realise the extent of James Cameron's unparalleled and unchallenged box office dominance.
>>64011907
It was better the second time, I was disappointed it was a fan-servicing retread with thin characters, but it's a great ride once you know what you're in for.
>>64012698

It's Fucking Christmas. You spend the day playing with all the presents you got that morning. Or go to multiple family members' dinners and get like two rounds of turkey and mashed potatoes. You can go to the movies anytime, but Christmas is all about family, food, presents, and watching as many runs of 'A Christmas Story' you can in between!
>>64012750
Even if it doesn't, it's still vastly outperformed /tv/'s expectations and predictions.
>>64012700

lol Star Cuck manchildren. That's why the fact a movie they all hate (well two movies they hate) are top at the Box Office is hilarious.
>>64012797
>muh paid reviews
So what? It's still a flop. Not only it won't touch Titanic but it also won't even make its investment back
>>64011145
Avatar was advertised as a 3d event that have to see
Star Wars is just Star Wars. It'll stop grossing money after it hits the billion dollar mark and Star Wars cunts will repeat the cycle again with Episode 8

You don't want to know, really.
Avatar opened with a 31.9%/68.1% domestic/overseas opening weekend, which amazingly climbed even further to 27.3%/72.7% by the end of its theatrical run.
>>64012905
Exactly. And TFA manages to be worse than Avatar in every way, and isnt even pushing the boundaries of cinema. The fanboys are merely delusional
>>64012039
whats the story behind this image
>>64012971
Take a few more steps back to Reddit
>>64013001
ya because it only made $240m opening domestically
holy shit stop posting
>>64011145
Only reason why Avatar did well in the box office is because it was in theaters for months on end, and literally stayed there before a few weeks it came to DVD.
And then there's China..... which Avatar came out the same time as everywhere else. China doesn't show TFA until January 8, so prepare for it to BTFO of Avatar's record by then.

TFA will never beat Avatar because it was a box office anomaly
>what did you mean by this anon?
Avatar's daily gross actually went up as the time went on. It started with really poor numbers but kept growing for months, something unprecedent.
TFA is literally the most hyped movie of recent history. It had its peak during the premiere last week - which is why it shattered the weekend record. From now on numbers will only go down, imo
>>64013073
oops i meant 77m opening
>>64013096
good luck selling a mary sue female lead and a nigger in the chinese market cuck boy
>>64012455
Just saw it for the second time yesterday. Will see it on Friday withBae
>>64013073
Jurassic World made almost the same ammount too, and it had wider overseas appeal.
>>64013096
>it only did well because people wouldn't stop going to see it
and a movie about a mountain range topped TFA in South Korea, China won't change shit
>>64013129
Exactly.
>>64013096
The Chinese don't particularly care for Star Wars. The only films released there were the prequels which made a combined total of only $20 million. TFA may do better, but it won't do Avatar numbers.
>>64013096
>Only reason why Avatar did well in the box office is because it was in theaters for months on end
Yes, it was in theaters for months because it kept generating revenue. Are you retarded?
>>64013096
China wasn't even that big of a market when Avatar was released you dumb pleb.
>>64013096
>Only reason why Avatar did well in the box office is because it was in theaters for months on end
It was in there that long because it was doing well, not the other way around. They keep a movie until tickets stop selling. People were buying tickets months after release due to word-of-mouth buzz, not a several hundred million dollar ad campaign which leads to great opening numbers then a steep drop off.
>>64011888
They're talking about 7% of the highest grossing Monday on record going into the highest grossing Tuesday on record.
The drops are going to be bigger than Avatar because the money it's making is larger. 5.17% seems big but it's only because there's more places for Star Wars to go.
We need to wait another week to see if Star Wars has staying power, this week is Christmas so it doesn't even count because people will go to see the movie since nothing else is open around Christmas anyway.
>>64013040
It's doctored from an /x/ fave. In the original it's a girl who appears to be terrified. The /x/ meme is that it was taken by her killer. It's appearance here seems self-explanatory.
Avatar won't be beaten for another decade at the least.
>>64012867
Prequels had better memes tbqh.
>>64013332
What we really need to wait for is for January 8th. If it has poor numbers in China it's over. Jim wins
>>64013233
The chinese box office was 30 times smaller at the time than it is now, it wasn't the driver of foreign gross it is now.
>>64013415
Michael Bay has a Benghazi movie and The Revenant is getting major hype, 0 chance it has Avatar or Titanic staying power
>>64013491
>People watch only one movie
I've seen Star Wars. I'll probably see those movies too.
>>64013415
Jim has already won anon. The only thing that China will confirm is whether it's a blowout from Titanic or Avatar.
>>64013444
But is already underperforming in asian markets like Japan and South Korea.
>>64013580
And gooks, chinks and nips hate eachother. So what's that prove?

>>64013742
>They said Fury Road was a flop when it made back a decent profit
It didn't flop, but it's gross was far from decent
Other than that you're absolutely right, but I don't see TFA beating Avatar. JW almost certainly, Titanic - probably.
Avatar's record is something else. Only 3D tickets (more expensive), massive hype/marketing campaign (not that TFA didn't have it)...

It needs 800M domestically to break even.
>>64014142
I have seen this number rise on this board 3 times today.
>>64013096
>And then there's China
>>64014142
where are you pulling this number? post a source
>>64014184
It actually needs something closer to 900M (450M for production + marketing) so there's no way it won't flop. Most people just don't care for Star Wars honestly, and this is clearly not a unmissable event like Avatar groundbreaking 3D was, that immediately conquered audiences overseas.
>>64014334
>>64014142
>Foreign market nets producers nothing
>Only the domestic market matters
You're retarded
It needs to make $900 million worldwide to break even
They have already made everything back from merchandising
>>64014334
Actually it needs about 1.1 billion domestic to break even. I'm an expert on this
>>64013415
True
The Foreign Box Office and The Domestic Box office are 1:1 right now the important thing is that other foreign markets don't drop off to quickly
We can say without a doubt that TFA will sell as many tickets as TPM, that's 700,000,000 dollars adjusted for inflation and today's average ticket price. If it could beat ANH which sold 130,000,000 tickets domestically, that's 1.1 Billion at the Box Office. Of course 77 is a lot different than now, A New Hope was able to be in theaters for 7 months and it had a lot of repeat viewings so who knows if that's possible to recreate.
Looking at China The Force Awakens is tracking better on social media than Fast 7 did(which grossed 390,000,000), despite /tv/ spending all day on a chinese ping-pong flipbook, they aren't the best at predicting box office numbers. "Experts" expect this movie to make more than 100 million dollars its first weekend in China. For reference, Fast 7 only made 70 million dollars its first weekend.
Looking at the Overall foreign gross for Jurassic World, the movie made 1 billion dollars with 200 million from China. This means 800,000,000 is a completely realistic total for SW in the foreign market sans China. This number is also about the same as what Avengers made without China and is consistent with other blockbusters.
Assuming a conservative estimate of somewhere between TPM (90 million tickets) and ANH(130 million tickets), at the average price of movies being $8.12 a ticket, we can expect TFA to make about 900 million dollars domestically. The previous number could be higher because we aren't taking into consideration that most releases of this movie are in IMAX or 3D.
Taking the also conservative foreign box office figure of Jurassic World, that's another 800 million.
Blockbuster in China in recent years always seem to clear about 200 million dollars, so 200 million is a reasonable low number for the box office, at it's best it could outdo fast 7 and make around 400 million
>>64014640
But I'm not even counting that it needs to make 8b to return Disney's investment on LucasFilms.
Face it, flop of the century

(Super Conservative Figures:The film does equal to Phantom Menace): 700,000,000(Dom)+ 200,000,000(C) + 600,000,000(F)=1.5 bil(So like about the same as JW)
(Conservative Figures: Film does Better than TPM and worse than ANH): 900,000,000(Dom)+300,000,000(C) + 700,000,000(F)=1.9 bil(Close to TItanic, probably gonna beat it)
(Unlikely Figures: Film does the same as ANH and beats F7 in China) 1,100,000,000(Dom)+400,000,000(C) + 800,000,000(F) = 2.3 bil
Based on all my math I don't know if Star Wars can dethrone Avatar, SK and Japan were 250,000,000 dollars of Avatar gross and the movie just isn't performing as well there. Essentially Star wars would have to blow China the fuck out completely to take on Cameron. The Asian markets were too important to Avatar, Star Wars is already losing in those South Asian markets it needs.
Essentially this boils down once again to staying power, China is not where we should be looking instead we should focus on the overall foreign box office. That's where Avatar made it's real cash. To win Star Wars needs to keep South Asian And European countries coming back to the theater week after week.

Furious 7 made $182m opening weekend in China.
>>64012002
Are you honestly this retarded...?
>>64015015
Avatar is only the 9th highest grossing film in China. Furious 7 is the 2nd highest. I don't think it's impossible to beat.

>5 more movies to come
>Star Wars has always made more money from merchandise than It has from the movies
>>64015015
That's why they're doomed. It's not a go see 3 times movie, maybe twice if you're a 34 year old virgin. Some dumb cartoon will take over by January
Who gives a shit if dog-eating gooks even bother to watch these movies?
Western markets should be all that matter, who gives a damn what those rapists even think.

Whoops made a mistake here, I didn't look at the Avatar Foreign totals till the end of my post so ignore these two statements together.
The overall foreign market is more important than China
>>64015104
What's number 1? I couldn't figure it out, BOM isn't that intuitive when it comes to looking at foreign totals.
Also that's why I think 300,000,000 is a reasonable estimate, we just can't expect the movie to make 1 billion in China alone, the rest of the Foreign Box Office is crucial here.

Apr. 6–12 1 $63,500,000 - $63,500,000 0
Apr. 13–19 1 $182,400,00
I see the number your referring to, it says that Fast made 182 mil on the general page but when you click on it to see the week by week total the first week says 64 mil. So that's why I have the wrong number there, thanks for the correction.

Meant to quote you and not myself again
>>64015165
I mean doomed isn't really the right word, the film will still cross 2 billion dollars easily. It's just not going to beat Avatar.
As >>64012698 said, many people thought this movie would bomb when it's tracking to be the second highest grossing movie of all time.
>>64015362
Monster Hunt/Furious 7 are the highest-grossing film of all time in China. Avatar is #8 and the only western movie in the top 40 all-time highest-grossing in China to be released before 2013, aside from Transformers (2011, #13), Titanic's 3D rerelease (2012, #17), and MI: Ghost Protocol (2012, #38).

It won't even beat Titanic, get your head out of your ass. That movie had half the female population going to see it 5 times.
Hello.
I've got a keen, fresh insight.
I hate TFA. It's an awful glib facsimile
BUT
I want it to beat all the avatarfags.
Anyone else in my boat?
>>64015511
>I mean doomed isn't really the right word, the film will still cross 2 billion dollars easily. It's just not going to beat Avatar.
The only reason it will cross Titanic is if it does exceptionally well in China. Anything above it is already out of the question.
>>64015362
Yes, and considering China is not enthusiastic over Star Wars I can't see it making anything above Fast numbers. It will follow trend of other asian markets and underperform there.
Even Titanic is safe at this point. In the other hand Star Wars flop is inevitable, it has already peaked in performance and there's nothing indicating it'll have good legs like Phantom Menace did.
Realistically it will drop considerably after christmas holiday and make 2B in the least conservative of predictions.

desu i watched it after all the spoilers and reading stuff about it, and i could pay attention to other things than the plot and i liked it.
>>64012039
This
Wtf is wrong with you people
>>64014036
It's been eight. This movie came out last tuesday internationally. I would know, I watched it in theaters that day.

I don't get why you people keep riding on China, Look at Avatar and Titanic. China was a lot of the money for Avatar but the more important factor for both those movies was the overall foreign market. The movies made pretty good money during opening week in every country they premiered in, and week after week they kept making that cash. Consistency is more important than a Chinese blowout, while Star Wars isn't doing amazingly in South Korea and Japan, neither did Avatar on it's release.
Avatar premiered to half of TFA opening weekend in Japan, it made 7 million dollars first weekend and went on to gross 170 million dollars.
We don't have enough data to make remarks on consistency, in two weeks we'll know if people are going to keep coming back and then everyone can scream flop.

>nothing indicating it'll have good legs like Phantom Menace did.
It's broken every single day record for sales except Saturday so far, adjusting for inflation in 5 days TFA is at half the box office for a Phantom Menace. Nearly 45 million people in the United States have seen the movie in 5 days and you think it's a stretch for it to sell 45 million more tickets over the next month and a half it'll probably be in theaters for?
