>Friday 2ND UPDATE, 11:42PM: Early Friday PM industry figures show Disney’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens making as much as $35M today, raising its cume through 15 days to $687M. What does this mean? It means that Force Awakens bypassed the No. 2 and No. 3 all-time domestic grossing titles Titanic ($658.7M) and Jurassic World ($652.27M) in the same day. By end of Sunday, Force Awakens’ total will stand at $744.8M-$746M, just $14.5M-$15.7M short of Avatar‘s all-time domestic record of $760.5M. Should these figures hold up, this would put Force Awakens in a position to own the all-time crown by end of Monday. Worst case scenario – Tuesday.

>inb4 b-but muh foreign gross!
I'm happy to hear it is doing so well domestically, but I take this as word that its worldwide performance continues to be underwhelming.
>>64387417
The thing is, avatar Made 2Billion overseas and Force Awakens isn't doing as well as Avatar worldwide. There's no way it will make 2 billion worldwide.
>Not knowing what ticket price inflation is
>Not knowing that The Force Awaken has sold around 1/4 of the tickets Titanic sold.

If you adjust for inflation TFA still fucks up Titanic and Titanic would be losing to ANH you fucking mong

>There's no way it will make 2 billion worldwide.
>hasn't even opened in china yet
Maybe the pressure will push Cameron to make a sequel to Avatar that's actually good. Unlike the first one.
>>64387536
Do you know how to math dude?
>domestic
Cry more, butthurt haters
>>64387487
If you look at Avatar's worldwide numbers, they're just insane
>175 million in France
>162 million in Germany
>171 million in Japan
>204 million in China (when the chinese movie market was only 35% in size of what it is 6 years later now)
TFA so far has 54 million in Germany and 47 million in France and they hype is already dying down there
How butthurt is Jewrge Lucas?
>>64387618
Also notice how small the percentages of the Opening Weekend are. Avatar was a marathon runner, TFA is a sprinter and already starting to go out of breath.
>>64387515
HAHA and I will see (You) when SW episode VIII overtake avatar 2 and just in case I will see you when SW episode IX overtake avatar 3.
>>64387552
>implying that the chinks will watch a film with female lead and ape dindu
Adjusting by inflation, Titanic would have made today around 1,100 millions domestic. Get fucked Star Wars cucks.
>>64387618
Makes sense. I remember Avatar being a big movie when it first came out in the US, but not so unambiguously huge as its international numbers seem to suggest.
It certainly sets a precedent that will be tough to beat for worldwide box office performance.
I don't see how it is fair to compare any movies without factoring in on how many screens they're shown...?
>>64387552
Disney better hope there isn't a movie about the Sahara or cave exploration opening up
How big was the TFA marketing budget? Because it was everywhere... I would love to know but Disney would never reveal that number. I think it could have come close to the production budget.
>>64387504
>inflation
If we take inflation into account then Gone with the Wind is the true box office king and A New Hope is ranked higher than Titanic.
>>64387901

ABRAMS ON SUICIDE WATCH
>>64387933
it was probably more than the production budget
Production budget was $200 million and worldwide i guess $400 million for marketing. It's not like Disney didn't already make a billion dollars just from toy sales alone (i got my niece and nephew $80 worth of Star Wars products for Christmas).

Star Wars is now the #1 Movie of All-Time that changed cinema forever

>>64387515
Is there any real desire for an Avatar sequel? It won't have the gimmick Avatar benefited from so the idea it'll overtake anything is hilarious.
>>64387936
Better Gone With The Wind and A New Hope than the overrated garbage that is The Force Awakens.
>>64388021
come back when Star Wars beats the worldwide gross
protip: you won't
>>64387901
Yo-Kai Watch didn't actually beat Star Wars in terms of hard numbers iirc, it just sold more tickets proportional to the number of theatres it was shown in. (Basically, more empty seats for TFA.) Not that that's any consolation for Star Wars fans.
Japs love their Yo-Kai Watch - can't fault them on that.
>>64387536
Titanic made $1.13b domestically inflation-adjusted, a number TFA can only dream of reaching.
>>64387618
>when the chinese movie market was only 35% in size of what it is 6 years later now
Absolute horseshit!
Is the US having a different #1 to Global a show that it is losing influence worldwide?
How long until China is regarded as 'domestic'?
>>64388087
China is estimated to be the same size as the US Box Office by 2020, and twice its size by 2025, so probably somewhere in those 5 years I'd guess.
>>64388039
everything's better than avatar
>>64388062
There's no proportionality to it. Yo-Kai Watch beat TFA in tickets sales objectively, but the ticket prices for TFA were so inflated that TFA still managed to beat Yo-Kai in gross.

This is what butthurt haters actually believe.
It's well on its way and it hasn't even opened it China yet...
>>64388087
China will break away and be considered a separate market to overseas in the next 5 years. We'll be counting domestic, China and overseas grosses.
As a point of trivia, Avatar made over $1.8b overseas without China, a figure that is over double its nearest competitor, which is Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011) with around $900m. Just goes to show how much China has propped up all the latest blockbusters with their $900m-$1b+ overseas grosses.
>>64387487
>I'm happy to hear it is doing so well domestically
Just curious but why?
Were you involved in making it or are you somehow attached to it?
To me this attitude and the opposite which is hipsters hoping it won't do well both make no fucking sense.
>>64388065
Nice logical fallacy, kiddo. Cry more

>More fucking pandering to China
It annoyed me when they hamfisted China into Skyfall and The Dark Knight, just throwing in China into The Martian despite Russia being the far more important space program was just full blown pandering.
>>64388065
Dont speak too soon, it looks like its going to surpass one billion domestic.
Even a heavily frontloaded film (jurassic world) had only made two thirds of its total domestic by this point in its run.
Seeing as it made 440 mil, and star wars has made 650. It is reasonable to assume star wars will make at least another 300 million domestically.
However, star wars is not slowing down as quickly as jurassic world (by this point in its run jurassic world was making 8 mil a day whereas star wars is still making 20-30 mil).
Thus it is reasonable to assume star wars will break one billion domestic and slightly more probably. Bringing it close to titanic's inflation adjusted domestic or perhaps exceeding it.
>>64388267
>>However, star wars is not slowing down as quickly as jurassic world
You're completely forgetting to account for the fact that every single day in TFA's domestic run so far has been a holiday. That runs out on Monday, where it will drop HARD during weekdays.
>>64388260
And still made more in that single day than any other film ever has on NYD
>>64388264
We really have only just begun to see it sadly, once it has a market the size of the US they'll pander even harder.
>>64388330
>this desperate wishful thinking.
>>64388210
TFA second weekend: 33.2% drop
Avatar second weekend: 6.9% gain
It's already begun. Domestic might stay strong for a while but international gross is going to drop like a stone
>>64388331
It's actually doing worse than expected. Most people predicted a $100m+ third weekend but it's never going to hit that now.
$1b is definitely not a certainty at this point, especially considering we haven't seen the extent of its drop after this Sunday, which will be huge in any case.

>>64388367
>Avatar was going up 9.4% on its third friday
And still didn't make as much as TFA did.
>>64388176
The movie is about how the white man shouldn't try to police and control the entire goddamn cosmos, of course a lot of people here aren't going to like it.
The only funny thing is that Cameron made the trigger-happy bad guy actually sympathetic when you look at the supplementary materials and realize what's going on (they won't get any reinforcements for years, the troops are getting killed while the scientists try to reason and bargain with a species that has no incentive to reason and bargain.)
>>64387933
>>64388007
In the US at least, it was an absurdly low amount of money- something like $25 million.
All that corporate synergy didn't cost Disney that much, everyone wanted to slap Yoda on shit to get some of those Star Wars consumer dollars.
>>64388391

It's still going to break another record for highest third weekend, faggle, and it's still gonna be the highest grossing domestic ever
I don't think it'll beat Avatar, but keep in mind the movie's already going to hit 1.5 Billion BEFORE it opens in China, and if Disney's marketing efforts paid off China could push them past the 2 billion threshold
>>64387451
It's the only one that matters fampai
>>64388445
Because it's already happened. TFA fell 52.6% on the second weekend internationally, compared to Avatar's 7.7% drop. It's not going to get any better
>all these delusional Jimfags thinking foreign box office means anything
Foreign shits are known for their hilariously bad taste. It's why trash like Transformers and Furious 7 make so much money overseas, but nothing impressive here. Not to mention that only 25% of foreign gross is actual profit. Face it, Avatards. You lost.
>>64388242
I have no real investment in the movie aside from seeing it and enjoying it for what it is, in spite of its many flaws. I guess I'm just happy to see it bringing in numbers so consistently. For a while, I was concerned it really would blow most of its box office gross on opening weekend.
If that happened, then it would spell the death knell of Star Wars as a cultural phenomenon and turn it into just another flick. I suppose that's what I was really concerned about. (Although I'm sure it will happen in the coming years regardless, with Disney at the helm.)

there is maybe causal relationship between a movie being good and making money. A movie might make money because it's good. But it's not good because it made money. You see the distinction? The boxautists seem to think that the financial success of a movie determines it's quality.

The difference is one of the series has a long lasting impact and cultural influence, the other doesn't.
And the real problem is: both are leftist bull crap propaganda made to appeal to hipsters, normies and SJWs so they give more money to big-movie-industry.

TFA so far only has a 1:1 ratio foreign to domestic, 600 million each.
While Avatar earned 750 million domestic and 2 bill foreign.

>234 days in theaters
>hey goyzz huehue this movie plot is bland but it is 3d go watch it again and again
Meanwhile TFA:
>hey goyzz huehue this movie plot is bland but
it is star wars watch it again and again
>>64389510
Because it has one movie and a very very thin expanded universe compared to the gallons of crap Star Wars produces.
At this point, it's clear to me that TFA shills are beyond retarded and the lowest common denominator Disney caters too. Keep up the good work, goyims.
>>64389510
Uh anon, do you realize the impact Star Wars left in 1977, a time where special effects and the like were new or absent? Contrast that with 2009 and the amount of desensitized morons in the world.
Yeah, you can use your brain to do 1+1, kiddo.
>>64389534
Yes, keep shitposting, kiddo. It just reinforces the fact that I'm right.
>they still think that there exists someone who can beat Jim Cameron other than Cameron
>>64389508
Are you literally retarded? It had a 200 million $ budget. +150 million $ marketing campaign. And a lot of that money was paid back by Duracell.
>>64389432
SW became a cultural phenomenon in '77 after the first film. Avatar is simply remembered as a Pocahontas rip-off with lanklet smurfs. There's no real desire for a sequel, there's no expansion into other media, no impact in pop culture, nothing. Because no one cared about Jake Sully, or Neytiri, or Nerd Ripley, or Scarface. No one cared about Pandora or those faggoty big birds.
>>64389514
It was in theatres for so long because it was making tons of money week by week, you dumb cunt. Do you think if you put fucking Alvin and the Chipmunks in theatres for 5 years it would magically become the highest-grossing film of all time? No.
Do you think if you put TFA in theatres for 2 years it would magically become the highest-grossing film of all time? No, because it's a blockbuster movie that makes 90% of its gross in the first 4 or 5 weeks of its release, compared to Avatar which had only made 90% of its gross by the end of the 12th week, and Titanic which had only made 90% by the 25th week.
You're a fucking idiot.
>>64389397
>but but muh almost 3 billion lead!!!
More like 1.3 billion lead
Go back to middle school, Camerontard.
>>64389534
Abatap is that you?
>goyim
You should read the posts you are replying to, just saying.
>oneee moviiieeeeee
Who cares? Forrest Gump was one movie and left a bigger cultural footprint than that leftard hippie bullshit.
Go suck some enviromentalist cock, faggot.
>>64389581
So you admit Avatar was nothing but flavor-of-the-month bullshit that's only merit is making a lot of money, and is otherwise completely unimportant to pop culture?
>>64389582
>MY OPINIONS ARE FACTS!
Thanks for exposing yourself as a mere /pol/ack troll, anon. I look forward to your other "facts" in the future. :^)
There's actually people who liked Avatar.
>ITT people celebrating one movie made more money than another movie
Why are TFA and Avatar fans fighting for? Pretty sure none of you got a single dollar from all that money generated so why all this crying. The only winners here are Cameron and Disney. Idiots.
>>64389659
It's not opinion, it's literal fact. But keep controlling that damage, friend.
>>64389661
>there are actually people who loved Avatar &/or The Force Awakens
>there are people who shill for companies' box offices despite having no interest in it
>there are people who care for these lefttard movies:
> one is hippie commie good-native bullshit
>and the other is feminist antiracist antifa bullshit.
I'm a Star Wars fan, but I agree that no one, not even TFA, bested Cameron.
>>64389651
Avatar is a significantly better movie than star wars TFA. :)
>>64389588
You really are retarded. TFA had the best opening in history of cinema and right now it's only dropping 5% per day. At this rate it's going to rape Avatar.
>>64389716
When did I ask for Reddits opinion on the matter?
>>64389588
>it was making tons of money week by week
It really wasn't though.

Just no.
They are both leftist shit and I'm ashamed of /tv/ for defending them both.
The only reason people talk about Avatar now is referencing the amount of money it made.
>>64389752
>breaking records every day
b-but I swear guis isn't wasn't making any money at all!!!! TFA is already slowing d-down g-guys please believe me!!
>>64389758
I'm right, you're wrong. When's the last time anybody mentioned Avatar for reasons other then its gross? Nobody cares about it. Accept it :^)
>>64389738
Has anybody ITT even implied that they're doubting it's going to overtake Avatar domestically? No, because it's impossible that it doesn't at this point. Domestic from this point on is no longer relevant. Assume around $1b domestic and move on to looking at overseas, which is where the movie is already falling behind Avatar. Already, in its third weekend.
>>64389741

Erm... you might want to clue yourself up son. TFA has already made more overseas than Avatar did at this point.

I'm not gonna like a movie that is basically copying an idea from over 300 years ago while suckig the cock of pseudo-intellectuals.
Cry more.
I'm also not gonna like a movie with the gimmick of "look how progressive we are! plot doesn't matter, only progressiveness!"
I'm not even white, fuck it I'm not even european/american. It's pure, utter, crap.
>>64389967
See the other two replies I got.
>>64389942
Yes, but only because of the opening weekend. It made less money than Avatar during its second weekend. It made less money than Avatar during its second week. It's looking to make significantly less than Avatar during its third week, and from then on it will make significantly less than Avatar every day until it closes.
>>64389910
>b-but it wasn't
how long are you gonna keep trolling Camerontard?
>>64390003
>blah, blah, blah, excuses
The fact is, you're wrong. TFA has made more overseas in its first 15 days than Avatar did in its first 15.
Also, yet to be opened in China. You keep ignoring this.
>>64387417
Is Cameron on suicide watch? What if people lost interest in Avatar and Avatar 2, 3, and 4 all bomb and Cameron goes into hiding in the deepest part of the ocean?
>>64389997
i don't even know what sentence is insulting what movie, your "critic" is so overly general and meaningless
>>64390095
Who actually wants an Avatar 2, let alone 3 and 4?
>>64389043
muh precious gook monies
how about you yellow niggers make your own fucking movies about cheating wives and crouching faggots
>>64387451
>implying U.S. gross isn't the most important and lucrative financially.
>>64390143
>cheating wives and crouching faggots
>>64390053
Clearly you have no idea how the box office works if you dismiss the first derivative, how fast a movie is making its money, as "excuses".
Avatar was also yet to open in China at this point, so the fact that TFA hasn't either is completely irrelevant.
By the way, by the time TFA is released in China, Avatar will have surpassed its overseas total, BECAUSE Avatar has been outpacing TFA for the past week overseas, and will continue to do so for the rest of its theatrical run.
>>64390104
>so overly general
Idea from 300 years ago: Noble Savage, evil white colonizer.
Progressiveness for it's own sake: The Force Awakens. Though it also applies to Avatar to a lesser degree.
I think you're just too stupid (specially considering your inability to capitalize your sentences) to read into it.
>b-but muh enjoyment factor
Fuck you, and fuck your enjoyent. You liking a shitty plot that uses gimmicky leftist shit as it's base and only sells based on other gimmicky shit (3D IS SO INNOVATIVE, STAR WARS IS SO GEEKY).
Admit it, you're a faggot that likes crap because it's trendy and doesn't even bother to analyze what passes for a story, and the way it is transmitted to the viewer.
Now I'll fuck off to ooga booga, because there is no way in hell I'll stay and argue with retarded yankees and euros that like sucking that jew cock and being SO PROGRESSIVE.
/tv/ is the new Sweden

>>64388065
Oh its going to top that number too domestically chump. We're only 3 weeks into the run and it won't stop playing until March or April.
NO OTHER FILM will make this much money for the next 20 years.
>>64390253
I was taking about Avatar, not TFA, you thick bastard.

That was my last post to you. Don't reply to me again, thanks.

Fuck off back to reddit, tit.
>>64387860
What will you say when SW tops this number at the end of February?
SW will be at one billion domestic by February 1st. Screen shot this, Avatards.

Can't tell if bait. 8/10 made me reply. China was plot point in the book, before the Martian became a film. And as a plot device, it had little to do with space program 'quality', but rather the timing of space missions.

Do people in this thread have any idea what movie inflation means?
>>64390840
don't you mean flick inflation?
People in this thread seriously think that the ticket prices back in 2009 were the same as now?
That's only domestic.
Domestic isn't shit. It will never break all-time.
>>64390871
Yeah. Same thing.
>>64390892
What was a 3D ticket price in 2009?
>>64387417
Also look at the #'s for the movie in the UK, Germany and France.
It'll probably become the highest grossing movie of all time in the UK, it should make at least 100mil in the other two countries, and the Japan numbers have been staying steady for these last couple of days, so the foreign box office total is going up as well.

>>64388817
>cuckron
>>64390942
I'm assuming only like 50-75¢ less. But combined with the high number of tickets it sold, if it were today it would make quite a bit more.
>>64391146
I really can't remember what it was here in the UK, but today it's £12.40 to see TFA in 3D, or £10.20 regular.

The movies definitely going to beat Titanic.
1 bil foreign and domestic is guranteed at this point, all the movie needs is 200 mil from China which should be easily obtainable.
>>64388905

Google American Sniper, #1 movie of 2014 domestic.
>>64388585
Some foreign numbers are still for 27/12/15, major markets are up to 1/1/16.
