The film debuted with $120M on Friday (including Thursday previews) -- a new opening day record -- and on Saturday is grossed $60M. That 50% dip from Friday's total is 8% more than analysts had expected. If that figure holds up, that $60M Saturday would rank fourth best for the day, behind Iron Man 3 ($62.3M), Avengers ($69.55M) and Jurassic World ($69.6M).
Avatar made 2 billion overseas
If Stars Wars didn't have a negro as one of the main actors it might have had a chance
>and on Saturday is grossed $60M
That's an outdated figure, it's $65+M and on track to destroy Avatar domestically

>“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” opened atop the box office all over the world, but it proved no match for “The Himalayas” in South Korea, where the homegrown survival tale snagged the No. 1 spot on Friday.
>Based on a true story, “The Himalayas” made $1.6 million on Friday, while “The Force Awakens” came in second with $1.3 million. Friday was the opening day for both films.
>there were seriously people who thought TFA would beat Avatar
It won't even beat JW, let alone Avatar.
So how much of the budget went to Daniel Craig's 2 minute cameo?
>>63863387
The only explanation I have for Avatar's success is faggot leftists. Who else would see that movie more than once. It's so blatantly anti-capitalist. "Noble" savages.
You know its tracking to hit $3.5bn worldwide.. right?
>>63863920
I saw Avatar twice in theater because I was so fucking blown away by the world and the 3D was probably the best I've ever seen to this day.
The fact that the story was bland and characters uninteresting was secondary.
>>63863920
Nobody knew anything Avatar's plot until they saw the movie. They just knew it was from the guy who made Titanic and Terminator and that it was the most expensive movie ever made.
The complete lack of plot is why it's had no lasting impact on pop culture whatsoever

I watched it on DVD on a small screen so the CGI was honestly not that amazing to me. Was the entire thing CGI'd or just the majority of it? If the humans were CGI'd after the fact I'd say it's very impressive, albeit unnecessary.
I think it's hilarious it's the highest-grossing film of all time and no one ever talks about it anymore. It was that vapid.

Domestic all time is a lock at this point. There is no way any other film breaks SW IV.2 hold on number one.
In asia, its a space movie with no asians and a black in a lead role. Big mistake. Asians love present day action, terminator, furious, jurassic world. They like historical if it's set in asia. Space shit is not at all popular.

>I think it's hilarious it's the highest-grossing film of all time and no one ever talks about it anymore. It was that vapid.
People don't really give a fuck about Titanic either. Even Jurassic World, which came out 6 months ago, is already forgotten, and it's the 3rd highest grossing flick of all time.
People don't care about flicks.

the only explanation for Avatar not being as highly regarded as the first Star Wars is the hefty section of the population who simply CAN'T accept an environmentalist story as anything other than the work of "faggot leftists".
Without that kneejerk unwillingness to like a story about native americans it would have been even more successful in the US.

>>63863387
OP, ST - TFA was always going to make a huge opening weekend splash, mainly because of nostalgia and the fact that the original cast are involved. But I think it will be regarded similarly to Age of Ultron which was also hugely hyped and sputtered out because it was a shitty movie just as TFA is. Next weekend will be the real test and I'm thinking that it will have a big drop off once older people, like myself, see the films and realize that it sucks while white kids, the primary audience of Sci-fi, will lose interest because of the White Guilt Social Justice Warrior leads!!!FACT!!!
>>63864038
I thought /tv/ hates Avatar because it's gay hippie shit with furries and it's adored by normies.
>>63865462
>because it was a shitty movie just as TFA is
Neither of those films are shitty. They're okay, competently made popcorn flicks, but far from shitty. Episode 1 was actually shitty, and that became the second highest grossing film at the time.
>>63865513
Actually, AoU and TFA are shitty. Both are muddled and lifeless. Like I said, BIG opening weekend, Disney's review embargo also helped hide the fact that Abrams fucked up, but it will be disregarded in a few months like Jurassic World. Face it, we're at the point where audiences will line up for disposable garbage, like JW/TFA/Furious 7, like mindless lab rats waiting for a feeder pellet, persuaded by relentless marketing while there's nothing better to see at the cinema!!!FACT!!! http://247365hatemachine.blogspot.ca/2015/12/star-wars-force-awakens-reviewfact_19.html

>I think it's hilarious it's the highest-grossing film of all time
Gone with the Wind would be the highest grossing of all time.
>>63865584

Critic and fan reception tell a different story
What if the casual crowd is avoiding the theater because they thought it would be JAMMED all weekend and they are waiting for the second weekend to see it?
Word of mouth is killing it, the movie is nothing special. Even the most braindead fans realize that it's a carbon copy of A New Hope with zero originality. Pure franchise milking.
>>63865785
>casual crowd
>wanting to see new star wars
its not jurassic park
>>63865584
>lifeless
Along with "lack of heart" and "pretentious" form the trifecta of vague pseudo-criticism by people who have trouble actually articulating their views with proper, individualized critiques. You can hate TFW, I don't care that much, but within the context of massive $200 million movies, very few of them are as good. You have to look at these things in context, you can't expect a blockbuster to be as rich or subtle as an Ozu film. And in context, there have been maybe 2 or 3 watchable high budget films this year, and Star Wars is one of them.
>>63863387
I didn't mind tfa but I seriously hope the jewish director and anti white male propaganda turns against them like a hate-boomerang.
I didn't even mind boyega (better character than lando or windu in my opinion) but star wars MUST remain white male centric. this is cultural appropriation and white-genocide promotion
>there are losers who are going to waste $10 to watch a flop
>>63865785
That's probably more of a factor in other movies than in Star Wars, which has a very dedicated fanbase.
$710 million in the US. Just over $2 billion world wide. It won't beat Avatar.

Critics also fapped over Abrams Star Trek movies while those are now regarded as trash. And TFA is rehashed plotlines from the original Star Wars trilogy just as Cocknose mined almost 50 years of Star Trek lore for Dawson's Trek 90210 1&2. And did anyone notice that Jar Jar also ripped off Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock? Spock = Luke and there's even a climax with two people fighting each other on a planet that's being torn apart!!!FACT!!!
>>63863387
Fringe will remain the best thing Abrahms has done.
>>63865785
I went to a THURSDAY showing and the theater was half full for the FIRST SHOW! I know several people who have said that they're avoiding the cinema because they heard that it was going to be sold out for two weeks or some such bullshit!!!FACT!!! http://247365hatemachine.blogspot.ca/2015/12/star-wars-force-awakens-reviewfact_19.html
>>63865835
I love how you're making excuses for that Jew fuck Abrams "oh, he had 200 million, you can't expect him to have a compelling story that's well told". Nigger, when you spend 200 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS ON A FUCKING MOVIE, YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD MOTHERFUCKING SCRIPT!!!FACT!!!
>>63866309
The higher the budget, the worse the script. Nothing over 150m is good. It doesn't need to be.
In Flipland, TFA failed to make any box office records there, and will be overshadowed by the 41st Money-Making Film Festival (MMFF) on Christmas Day. A review of TFA made it to a Flipland entertainment website.

By autists and memers. 09 Star Trek is the best film in the series since Wrath of Khan.
>>63866309
The dialogue in the new film shits all over the dialogue in the original trilogy, and it's much better acted. It's not a perfect film, but it's a perfectly watchable movie.
>>63863499
If it makes less than Jurassic World it will have made less on Friday and Saturday. Why are people even talking about Avatar? It won't even make 2billion.
Only James Cameron can make 2 billion.

exactly. Little boys, more specifically little white boys are the biggest fanbase of starwars and who want the toys and action figures. there is no new character for the to relate to. It's surely not Rey, who is an icky girl, nor Finn a wide-hipped gorilla.
