Every theater around me is sold out for tomorrow. I think $60+ million for Xmas day is a very real possibility.
Hush. We're now on the logical conclusion to everything, dicks!

When this movies run is done star wars will occupy 5 of the top 10 domestic US movies adjusted for inflation. Damn.
Edit: the numbers cuts it off at 1977 for some dumb reason, it'll only be 2 of the top 10

It's kinda similar in that it moves waaay fast at times and the plot threads come and go at blazing fast pace. Someone could probably write a multi-part fanfiction series of this single box office thread.

Still bomba.
Andrew Stanton still in the doghouse.
Taylor Kitsch still not the next Brad Pitt.
Imax or just a regular theater?

I mean, the movie was named John Carter. It never had a chance.

The world economy would spontaneously combust, I suppose.
The Singularity, I believe.

All those who have, are and ever will live will come to exist in a single place in time and space so that they can not go watch it.

First negative opening weekend box office gross in history.

Nobody can know.
I think humanity would revert back to primordial ooze if it was also directed by Wally Pfister. It's the ending of End of Evangelion, minus the pop song.
Noooooooooo

Jealous rage from Neil Breen?
either that or another Call of Duty Black Ops. Devoid of sequel number of course, because we don't know what those mean.
Is Skeet Ulrich the Harrison Ford of failed movie stars?

Going 160 cuz it's almost in the middle lol
A gutting as brutal as the one at the beginning of Scream.
Knock out the midnight sales from last weekend, but Friday will get a big boost relative to a normal drop by virtue of being Christmas. Add in a dash for WTF TFA keeps over performing and I'd call it around 170.
5 or 6 months, but it will likely be out of the top 10 by the end of Feb.
I'm going with $208,806,271
What if that movie is Avatar 2?
Second weekend will probably tell everything.
No matter the end result, watching Star Wars act like Avatar * 2.5 in its first week has been a roller coaster, to say the least.
If it does $160 million+ this weekend I'll call a billion.

I remember a thing that happened in Melbourne back in the 90s where some guy pretended to be Skeet Ulrich for a day, because no one really knows what Skeet Ulrich looks like, and he got away with it. He was getting radio interviews and free drinks and shit. He only got found out because his fake accent started slipping when he was drunk.
50-60
Still too early I think. $850m is too low though. Even a 40% drop from 160 this weekend will be close to 100m next weekend. Weekdays next week will be over 100m total as well. That's in the neighbourhood of $750m by Jan 3rd if this weekend plays out as expected.
Even if this weekend is more like 130 to 140 we are still likely looking at 700m+ by Jan 3rd. Low end percentage for a big 3Rd weekend of December films legs after the holidays is 20 percent. That's 840m off of 700m.
