So a 3.07x multiplier gets it over Avatar domestically.
Ya. I think it will happen. I'm thinking that $800-850M is looking pretty good with some holiday boost.

That is an incredible Sunday hold. At the least the weekday records are going to tumble this week.

I do think it will top Avatar domestically.
 
Really curious as to what the weekend to weekend is gonna look like, especially seeing that the Saturday-to-Sunday numbers were more or less flat.

Hard to say. The Dark Knight was down 8.5% on Sunday. The Dark Knight Rises was down 10.5%. Their second weekend drops were 10% apart.
 
We were talking about Ethnic breakdowns a few pages back.

MPAA reported the following breakdown for overall domestic tickets sold in 2014:

Caucasian - 54%
Hispanic - 23%
African American - 12%
Asian + Other - 11%


Star Wars was:

Caucasian - 62%
Hispanic - 15%
African American - 10%
Asian + Other - 14%
 
Just watched the Iger interview, he says there are five movies in active development. So that's

Rogue One
Ep VIII
Han Solo spin off
Ep IX

do we know the fifth film's deal yet?

Isn't it a Boba Fett spin off?

An Obi-Wan spin off is more speculation and fan hopes than anything at this point.

Yeah, Trank was reported to be working on a Boba Fett film before he walked, I believe.

The Obi-Wan movie is just a rumor, and has never been more than that.

Shame. You know he probably had a fantastic version of this movie going in pre-production. And it would've received great reviews. We'll probably never see it. That's reality, though.

I think an Obi-Wan movie where he is ostracized and feared despite always protecting Luke from afar would be a lot more interesting than more Boba Fett pandering, but what do I know?
 
I don't know what else is fanboy driven enough to top 248m OW besides another Star Wars movie.

I don't think Infinity War or Justice League gets close to this.
 
We'll have a new record within 5 years.

Five Years ago, the opening weekend record was $158M.

hmmmmmmm

$248m OW in December ain't no joke

All that comes to mind for me is Avengers 3 (which is split in two and might hurt its numbers) and Justice League if BvS kicks ass and gets everyone real fucking hyped.

I can see Civil War coming close if they start putting Spidey all over the marketing, but I'm not sure anything will beat $248m that's currently announced.

Maybe something like Jurassic World that kinda came out of nowhere and blew all expectations out of the water?

I wasn't specifying December to be clear. Unless mainline Star Wars returns to that slot in the future, that record could stay for a decade.
