If that holds, that's a crazy increase and $40M is definitely on the table again. Looks like The Revenant is going to have a nice opening as well.

The Force Awakens has had good Saturday holds every week. It plays like a family film more than a lot of blockbusters do.
Expected gross for China. At least what I expected last week (I figured $50m).
Estimated weekend for the Revenant is $38m. Star Wars sould beat that by a bit for another first place finish.

Revenant was so close to getting number one.

Welp, looks like Jurassic World finally got dethroned as the highest grossing not-James Cameron film, lol.

Maybe they're banking on semi-sad moms & dads deciding to take the fam out to the theater for a pick-me-up after losing the Lotto.
That's a what.. 55% drop weekend to weekend? Considering the film had technically never dropped under the 40% mark, that's a bite. But next weekend will be interesting - usually films rebound a little the following weekend. If Star Wars doesn't do that though...
It's possible it could wind up in 3rd next weekend, honestly.

40% Sun drop is doable, it's playing well with families, but playoff football today too.
...there'll be hell to pay.

I don't think it is massively overpredicted or anything, but it's not nearly as conservative as they were last weekend.
I guess Disney was working with a good drop last weekend, so lowballing Sunday didn't really make a difference. It also avoided them claiming the Jan record if TFA ended up missing that mark in the actuals. This weekend, no records are in play.

Well, let's put it this way...if it can reach 2 billion before the month ends it should be able to.
So my projection line last week had TFA at $1715M as of today. Actual total is $18M higher. I lowballed the week by 8%. Not too bad I guess, considering China was a question mark. Overseas weekdays were my biggest miss. Overseas in general seems to be holding better than domestic at this point.
I will post updated graphs in the next thread.

Question regarding this - Why dont we do weekly threads anymore?

Huh? The new thread for the week usually gets posted by xaoslug by 11am PST, every Sunday.
This is the weekly thread. However, people tend not to care outside of weekends in normal circumstances.
Then I just lost track of time - Happens usually when I am on vacation
I am an idiot, sorry
