Would have to beat $207, seems unlikely, but this entire weekend seemed pretty unlikely 48 hours ago.

scroll down, some estimates say yes. 207 is the number to beat

Wow you're all parrots. Think for yourselves, and stop copying/pasting everyone else's estimated guesses and take your own guess!

Since you know it all - what's your guess?

I just can't win with JDolphin! I made a bet w/ a buddy--my guess last week was $148-153M when ppl were saying $100-120M.

You're not answering the question - you critized someone for posting a published updated estimate for the weekend instead of guessing on

My peeve is that we see everyone thinking they're on top of the

I think it's just people having fun with the numbers and amazed at the high estimates. I doesn't matter as stock is not high enough to sell

One of our highest homo sapien evolutionary traits is our ability to make predictions--parrotting bodes poorly for further evolution. Guess.

(cont.) "latest" estimates, but then you scroll just a little further down the forum, and you have ten other ppl who thought they were too.

Dear HSX, have you ever considered altering the code so that the Enter button doesn't hastily post unfinished posts? Forum format is wack.

You want change that's not going to happen. If you want a more strenously moderated forum, you'll need to go somewhere else

It will get about 6 months and a week to enjoy that record.

I think it will fall in between Avengers 1 & 2 close to 200 just my guess.

It won't be that cold, many schools will be out and lots of theater will be open 24 hours that weekend.

idk - Avatar opened on the same weekend. There was a hideous snowstorm in the Northeast that kept a lot of folks away from the theatres.

Unfortunately, the biggest obstacle for Star Wars: Episode VII--The Force Awakens is a December OW has never hit a record higher than $84.6M

So what? June had never had more than a $116 million opener and now it potentially has a $210+ million opening.

Did you read the rest of my post, or did you just click the headline and respond without checking to see if there was more typed out? Look.

I may be from the 140 character Twitter generation, but I almost always utilize the Additional Message space and put it to great use.

I agree with you. Star Wars has no comparison and all previous openings mean absolutely nothing in comparison.

Taking a winter film and making it beat the highest summer blockbuster OW record...everyone on HSX is going to love it! It blows my mind.

I do believe people generally have more disposable income in June than around Christmas. More free time as well.

Star Wars open 200 million in December

Easily. I think it gets to $225+ million if Disney doesn't do something stupid like have only Midnight openings.

Disney's putting Thurs previews to great use for Marvel, so shouldn't have that issue. Marketing has been perfect, so $225M is lowball.

I am guessing they will follow the Avengers 2 model and go with 7pm. Midnight in December is cruel to the northern states

I also don't think they want to give away $20 million in sales for no reason and a potential record. Thursday seems like a no brainer

Remember when "Star Wars: Episode III--Revenge of the Sith" had a $50M Thurs? Poor comp since it was out all day, but $20M is also lowball.

I agree, and yet the stock just keeps dropping every single day.

Early yesterday you saw lots of dumping from ports with little disposable income to add or get into JURA4.

Blame Disney avenger 2 didn't reach 200 million due they didn't move the date due boxing match.

Could possibly be franchise fatigue and it simply didn't look like that fun or interesting of a movie. Audiences didn't connect as much

Correct, the WOM wasn't as impressive with "Avengers: Age of Ultron" as it was with the first Avengers. Release date was picked 3 years ago.

If it hits that $71 est. from BO, that puts it $3m ahead for Fri-Sat, the record is absolutely in play now.
