Insane domestic run is distorting the ratio - it's not as big in Asia/LatAm in the US but it's not that far behind JW which had China.

Yeah, isn't 546M overseas in 10 days fucking insane? Furious 7 was at 548M OS at this point with China

^ well deserved, Creed is a great movie.

The $56.5M estimate for Saturday is interesting after Rth gave us a $58M number. Are they lowballing again? Rth has been pretty spot on each time.

I think they're lowballing Sat, but actually may be over estimating today with only a 16% drop, so it might even out to same weekend #. Better Sun % hold than many of the other movies are estimated to have: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?sortdate=2015-12-27&p=.htm

International markets don't seem to be eating Star Wars up like Americans have been.

But we're still eating it up faster than anything ever before, excluding China and Japan*:

The Force Awakens: $514 million
Deathly Hallows 2: $510 million
Furious 7: $490 million
Jurassic World: $422 million

*because not all movies started with these two countries at the same time.

Including Japan, DH2 ($559 million) is ahead of TFA ($546 million), but factoring the USD exchange difference, TFA probably has higher gross in local currencies.
 
So if the weekend stays at 153, the second weekend would make #10 bigest opening weekends of all time. Still crazy.

Also, it's a 38% drop. That's a great hold. Better hold than Avengers, JW, TDK.
