By my eatimates it won't even beat Titanic. 2B is the most it can do

Yeah, doubt it. With how it's all playing, here's the forecast

Face it family, your shit is toast.
>>64153359

It's literally the perfect scenario for Disney.

Cry more.
>>64153524
And it's not out in China. Face it, Avatar is going to get rekt.
>>64153755
Because 3D marketing.
>>64153698
2 Billion would still put it above the original release of Titanic ($1.84 Billion). Remember that Titanic has been rereleased, which is what the $2.18 Billion amount is taking into account.
>>64153737
>>64154432
Chinese couldn't care less for your children space flick. Won't make much over there.
>>64154274
Prequels made 800 million $ per movie.
TFA beat that in a week.
>>64153326
Actually these are the estimates for TFA's total after the end of Sunday. If these estimates hold, it took 12 days for it to reach the total, counting from the earliest release date in the first overseas market it was released in (which is how it's done). For comparison, Jurassic World did it in 13.
>>64154473
Because they cared a lot about Avatar, a children's space flick.
>>64154409
Not any of those anons, but I think they are laughing at all the ameriderps that most have paid to rewatch that shit in theaters
I'm going to see it next week again, so add that $15 there.
And you know why it's making that much? Social media cancer
people only go to the cinema so they're "in" not because they're interested in the movie

What seems like could be happening, is foreign countries, it does have legs and is just going at a slower burn. While in America, we consume so fucking much and so constantly on such an incredible peak. That it's showing with the domestic take.
I mean it's not like there's shit coming out for them either in the next couple months.
Star Wars is on fire across the world.
Was it true that Avatar fans contemplated suicide to reincarnate into Pandora, or was that just a marketing shill?
didn't it double over Christmas? the first week was 400mil
Christmas is over
it will end up around 2bil
>All these Jimfags in denial
Avatar's domestic record is about to get destroyed, fà m. That's all that matters to these studios. Foreign market a shit. TFA will forever be considered more successful than Pocahontas in Space.
>>64154453
Do you need to be reminded that Titanic set that $1.8b record 20 fucking years ago? No IMAX, no 3D, no China. If TFA doesn't even break Titanic then it's really pathetic desu.
>>64154815

>>1 billion (1.000.000.000) dollars after 9 days
Can you put that into perspective?
>>64154803
There's no "slower burn" in foreign countries. They've earned THE SAME. That's my point. You have to remember that in terms of population and GDP, the United States is on par with ALL OF EUROPE, not just a single country. So if Star Wars has earned and equal amount of money in foreign box offices as domestic, it means they're all experiencing the same levels of consumption. Americans are not seeing the movie any more frequently or more often than anyone in other countries, otherwise there would be an actual disparity between the domestic and foreign box office earnings.

>>64155032
I love how personally invested you're getting in this - you can see it from how venomous and spiteful your posts are. It's just a movie, chill bro. Just because it doesn't make anywhere close to Avatar, just because it doesn't outgross Titanic, doesn't make it a bad movie. The content of the film does that itself.

>>64155241
Jurassic World didn't even "rek" Titanic, retard.
>>64155241
Some may argue otherwise but the massive amount of merchandising is going to help TFA have legs. Kids buy the toys and play the games and it keeps it fresh in their minds so they want to see it again. Avatar and JW didn't have that going for them.
the $4 billion disney paid for star wars seemed excessive but now it looks like lucas got cucked out of his franchise hard
>>64155254
Based Gone with the Wind
>>64155042
>no slower burn in foreign countries
That's fucking stupid, because that's exactly how Titanic and Avatar got to the heights they are. They didn't make that much in that short amount of time, like where we're at right now with this release.
And their markets aren't as intricate and developed as ours.
>>64155254
>>64155313
Gone with the Wind should be disqualified. It was in theaters for like 20 years when only a handful of movies came out per year and there was virtually no other forms of entertainment.
i hope tfa unseats avatar so finally the focus on how shit the #1 movie of all time is can be applied to a title more deserving of contempt
>>64155277
Jurassic World made close to 500mil domestically in it's first 2 weeks
Avatar didn't even make it to 300mil
What's really scary is how astonishing well Rogue One will do next winter.
Chinese here. Me and my twelve cousins couldn't be more eager to watch the new Star Wars.
It's on billboards everywhere. It's pretty damn big
>>64155247
>>64155248

>>64154495
You start counting not form the time it was release in the US, but from the first overseas market it was released in. That was on the 16th. It will surpass $1b today sometime, on Sunday. That's 12 days.
>>64155350
Right, but it didn't gross more overall. TFA is set to surpass Titanic domestically by next week. It's only a matter of time before it destroys Avatar.
>>64153698
Plummet from what? Do you realize we're going into "Fuck You, It's January"? Have you seen the trailer for Norm of the North.
The only chance that TFA goes down heavily is if The Big Short catches on heavily with the elderly or if Kung Fu Panda 3 ends up a mega hit. January is fertile ground for big blockbusters of December to dominate because there is nothing else out but Oscar bait and forgettable garbage.
>>64155375

>>64155374
Who will watch this syfy direct to tv garbage?
>>64155391
We all know it's going to outgross Avatar's domestic, but that was always irrelevant in Avatar's achievements. Even fucking Jurassic World came within $100m of Avatar's domestic record this year.
Call me when TFA makes anywhere close to $2b overseas.
>>64155435
Star Wars fans, of which there are a shitload.
>>64155391
are you fucking retarded? what's up with your reading comprehension?
the point was that just because something destroys another movie in

doesn't mean it will beat Avatar in the end

This so much.
It's like people forgot how Avatar made so much money.
>>64155139
1,6 billion.
>>64155467
See you after it comes out in China then. ^_^
>>64155396
Just see how well did JW being in th summer and competing against billion dollar blockbusters. Now imagine Star Wars, being 10 times more famous and having no competition, how far could it go?
>>64154952
>Titanic made $43,928,666 in China.
In 1998. China's GDP has over quadrupled since then.
>>64155467
You think the studios give a shit about foreign markets? They literally only get 25% of the profits from foreign markets. Domestic box office is where it's at.
>>64155375
Your parents in the politburo or something? How can you have 12 cousins with a 1 child policy?
>>64153359

>>64155506
This. There's nothing coming out for months and SW has all of the Imax screens on lock for all of January. It's going to dominate for at least another month.
>>64155435
Proly the millions of people who saw VII and loved it, craving for something new from Star Wars on the big screen.
Sounds like a Seven Samurai/Dirty Dozen gritty, grounded Star Wars flick.
And it's giving me feels from Rogue Squadron and Republic Commando.
Plus there's a lot of great names attached to the film.
Here's a bigger What If?
What If? Rogue One does so well that Disney jumps it to have a sequel of it's own?
It is a spin-off, new IP after all.
>>64155479
>how about you look at how Avatar tracked during the same time.
I didn't write that comment, so it's completely irrelevant to me. I'm still right.
>>64155503
At this rate it would need to make over $750m in China to compete with Avatar, assuming a $1b domestic and a 50/50 domestic overseas split minus China

You ever see a biopic about someone and then later someone mentions that person, and you're like maybe I saw the biopic, maybe I didn't—whatever the case, I don't know anything about this person? Yeah.
>>64155576
Right, because those are the movies normies are going out to see in droves.
I would like to thank the shills and marketers who have tirelessly memed their way through this garbage website.
And I would just like to say to the pedophiles of /tv/, fuck each and every one of you.
Here's to hoping you queers hang yourselves within the next year.
why do you idiots care about how much a movie makes? do you own stock in Disney? or do you just want to win arbitrary internet arguments about things you have no control over?

>tfw if TFA beats Avatar I can scream "Cameronfags BTFO" for decades.
>tfw if TFA doesn't beat Avatar I can scream "Star Babbies BTFO" for a few years until VIII tries again.
Either way, /tv/ wins.
>>64155644
Because it means we are stuck with with endless sequels and offshoots for a decade now. Star Wars merch lines the walls of literally every store now. If you are neet and don't go outside, then /tv/ is ruined as well. This movie isn't even generating memes. There is no plus side to it except to hope the market becomes so over-saturated that the whole thing collapses, but Star Wars is such a cult that they can release fresh garbage with a Star Wars logo on it and fans will pay to shove it up their own ass.
>>64155762
Why was Avatar so successful anyway? It's forgotten, there was no impact made upon society... no merchandising or memorable quotes or even characters.
In the end, the Jews win.
Did anyone seriously think the first Star Wars movie in a decade featuring Harrison Ford and Hamill as their respective characters wouldn't make billions carried on hype alone?
Nothing can stop the Disney money train. Soon they will own all properties. It's obviously easier and more profitable to join them than try to beat their numbers.
>>64155807

>>64155319
So kinda like Avatar?
>>64154566
Or maybe people aren't as flippant and shallow as you seem to think. Maybe they're actual humans with preferences who just want to see a fun space movie. Maybe if you actually talked to people instead of crossposting on /r9k/ ever 30 seconds you'd realize that people have personalities and motivations beyond social media. The people sitting next to me in the theatre seemed like normal well adjusted individuals who were excited to finally see another star wars. I swear to god you fuckers think you know everything about the human condition yet can't see the irony in being addicted to a form of social media yourselves.
>>64155877
No, you stupid fucking Cameronfag, you're just misrepresenting how obnoxious and cartoonish you spergs come off as.
Face it, Avatar is shit, and most of his Filmography is weak, but you mongoloids lapped it up because you latched onto it like the social leeches you are, by that I mean redditors.
I bet you fucks actually believe you're responsible for the flick/movie/film meme, when in reality it was just a way to infuriate /lit/ and /mu/ elitists who were gumming up discussions.
I pity you. Or I would if I didn't know what kind of impotent scum you are.
>>64155953
Everyone bought it, but then when they watched it at home they stopped caring. The sales of the blu-rays were people coming off the hype from the theaters.
Just about everyone has a copy of Avatar in their home, but I don't know anyone who ever watched it more than once. That's why it fell into obscurity.
>>64155962
They could try to actually create new properties. Or adapt more fantasy/scifi/YA books, because there's plenty of fish in that sea.
>>64155962
WB? They are eternal enemies, but Disney has always been on top money wise. Dreamwork's CGI animated features make more money in general, but Disney's Marvel flicks and TFA beats them out of the park. They're already well on their way to owning Spiderman.

Domestic is best for business, Billy.
They get a larger cut. And speaking of business.
Think of how well it's doing business for theaters across America. It's almost the best thing for them, with Star Wars being so popular and they're raking in the dough.
Restaurants are proly spiking up too. Because most people like to go out and eat after, and discuss the flick.

While avatar's domestic record is not partcularly impressive (even though it remains the highest-grossing film of all time domestically), its overseas record is off the chart. It made over $2b overseas, which is nearly double its nearest competitor.
>>64156885
Do you work for Disney? The only relevant record is "the highest-grossing movie of all time".
>>64153737
China is going to give them another 100 million
It won't boost them that much
>>64153326
The fact that 50% is domestic means that it'll never defeat avatar.
You need a 30/70 domestic/foreign ratio.
>>64155902
>on home video
so they still bought the movie
>>64156967
>not gaining no less than $400mil
Try harder nigga. China likes to compete as well, and you know they won't fucking stand for this.
>>64156885
Who cares
>>64155254
I agree, avatar is one of the worst movies ive ever seen along with that. Id watch fucking episode 1,2,3 3 times in a row before watching avatar once.
Oh look. /tv/ is playing pretend box office analyst again...
>>64157032
The record for China is like 150 million
That's being generous to assume they'll even make close to that since this doesn't have much in way of draws for the asian audience like avengers or jurrasic park did
>>64156956
Disney has the Avatar land, remember? Either way, they win.
>>64157049
...The studio?? Are you brain dead?

>implying no autists wanted to be na'vi and saw avatar a dozen times
Look Cameron has some really fucking amazing movies, Avatar isn't one of them. You can stop pretending to like it so much and just admit you want Star Wars to fail because it's either it's so popular or JJ was directing.
>>64157136
The studio isn't a person.
>>64156939
>Star wars fanboys trying to spin it to make star wars look better for being so pathetic overseas
Why is it relevant to anyone except the studio itself how much of a cut they get from each market? The indicator of success to literally everyone is "how much did this film make worldwide?"
I don't see any box office records sites tracking "the most profit a film has made for a studio" record. The hilarious thing is that even if that was a relevant record that anyone cared about, Avatar would STILL win despite making less domestically than TFA because the film will have made close to $1b more than TFA overseas by the end of its theatrical run. Even at a 25% average cut over all overseas markets that's $250m additional profit over TFA overseas. Now assume that the studio gets 60% of all domestic box office gross. TFA will out-gross avatar domestically by around $200m, which makes $120m profit over avatar domestically. 250 >>> 120, so Avatar STILL wins. Kek.
>>64157123
>The record for China is like 150 million
No. Jurassic World made like 250 million in China and JW isn't even the most succesful movie there.
>>64157153
>this is what butthurt haters actually believe
Cry more.
The ONLY reason this flick has gained this much is because Star Wars fags are literally retarded manchildren that saw this 3 times already and will see 3 times more.
We are talking about people that went multiple times see The Phantom Menace.
>>64157147
>they're literally all speed records that rely on each other
Great.

But it would be so much better if it wasn't. Imagine the realistic portrayal of blasting smurfs
>>64157168
You know a studio is run by people, right?
I sincerely hope you're just pretending to be retarded. I won't hold my breath though.
>>64157179
>camfags this fucking mad and it's still this fucking early
>>64157123
Maybe a few years ago. China's market is YUUGE, compared to a couple years ago or so. Jurassic World and the new Avengers both broke over $200mil there.
It's the second highest market and often competes with the domestic take.
It's going to fucking boom in China. No way they don't fall in love with Rey. And it's going to spike in all the other Asian markets again, because they like to spite China and they liked it before they did.

At least the prequels have some dank memes and are fun to laugh at. Avatar is just dull
>>64157328
>ignoring facts
>being delusional
The hallmarks of a star wars manchild.
You guys know that's not even counting how much they made off of merchandising, toys, games. Every company paid Disney to plaster something Star Wars on their product
I doubt we will see the numbers on that but im insanely curious about it

$228 million in china
i think furious 7 is the china record holder - $390 million L O L
>>64157382
Everyone in China is gonna want the BB-8 droid they've been mass producing.
>>64157445
I think Star Wars can easily make 400 million, even get to 500
>>64154409
That's right. But also it is never the butts-in-the-seat numbers that make or break a movie. Studios care more about DVD profits and other merchandising.
Not to mention the Starwars brand cannot fail.
>>64157445
Actually it's a Chinese release called Monster Hunt, directed by the co-director of Shrek 3
Why do you kids have so much of your identity tied up in Star Wars? Half of you probably weren't old enough to see The Phantom Menace in theatres. So why are you trying so hard to defend this movie?
>>64157482
How retarded are you? China doesn't care for Star Wars and there's no asian actors to sell the movie, it'll flop in China.
>>64157547
we are discussing hollywood films overseas box office though
>>64157454
>>64157482
The fact of the matter is m8 that it's already too late for China to even make a difference to TFA's chances to outgross Avatar, which are now literally 0%.
Let's suppose the most lofty estimates and assume that TFA grosses $1b in China. As we've seen, it's struggling to maintain a 50/50 domestic/overseas ratio without the help of China, so let's assume it stays that way. That's $1b domestic, $1b overseas minus China. That leaves the movie needing $750m in China to equal Avatar, which is literally impossible.
It was over the moment TFA opened with a 47%/53% domestic/overseas ratio that only got worse as the days progressed. Anyone in their right mind would have realized this by the historic incredibly poor domestic/overseas ratios that every other star wars film has had compared to other films of the time that were released. TFA literally NEVER had a chance at outgrossing Avatar.
>>64157591
Then justify Furious 7, Jurassic World, Transformers 4, Avengers and Avatar
Surely the cared a lot for those.
>>64154473
Bait. Asian weebs eat this shit up
>>64157482
Wouldn't count it on seeing as they're xenophobic as a motherfucker as Finn has a leading role.
>>64157591
You mean like most of the other movies that did well in China??
kek
>>64157626
>let's assume TFA grosses $1b in China
>except that would be impossible
What point are you even trying to make? You're contradicting your own assumptions for no reason.
I'd have thought Cameronfags would be happy about this.
It's literally the only time people have talked about Avatar since it was released.
>"Star Wars? More like Dicks Touching lmao"
~James "RedditKiller" Cameron
>>64157656
These franchises weren't feeding on nostalgia, one has dinosaurs, another transformers, and Avatar is just awesome.
Chinese numbers usually follow worldwide numbers for other countries. Avatar was popular everywhere, Star Wars is dropping everywhere. China is not going to be the sole place where suddenly it makes huge bank. It'll follow suit and have mediocre box office.

There you have it, folks!

That should read "let's assume TFA grosses $1b domestically", my bad.
