If that # is accurate then that tells me...
That Disney's internal tracking shows that it will not beat JURA4's OW record, because if they thought it was close they would do everything in their power to get that record. They are now going to try and set it up to have holiday legs instead by creating limited availability of showtimes and creating buzz. If true then those of us discounting the December opening limiting factor were terribly wrong and that there is indeed a reason no film has ever opened higher than 86M. But again, that depressing scenario is only if 3900 is the real number.
I still don't think that 3900 wlll be the number though.
98 movies have opened in more thatn 3900 screens, including classics such as:
-Get Smart, Lone Ranger, Rio 2, Rango, Bee Movie, GIJOE, Over the Hedge, and all three Madagascar films.
Do we really want to live in a world where the Lone Ranger gets more screens than TFA?
If I am wrong tho, the OW derivatives are in for a pounding and those of us with 225+predictions are going to look really, really silly.
BO: STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS will open in an estimated 3,900 domestic theaters Dec 10, 11:17
*BOOM* {nm} Dec 10, 11:48
Lol. Twihards > Fanboys Dec 10, 11:48
seems low, would need to avg $50k per screen to get to $195M {nm} Dec 10, 11:54
that's theaters, not total screens {nm} Dec 10, 11:59
^this {nm} Dec 10, 12:01
It's the same thing when calculating the PTA/PSA. $195M/39000 = $50,000 average. {nm} Dec 10, 12:05
$195M/3900 {nm} Dec 10, 12:06
Plus some are running round the clock. {nm} Dec 10, 12:06
Most people only need to see it once, whether it's Fri 3am or Sun 6pm. {nm} Dec 10, 12:23
Who really goes to a 4AM show? {nm} Dec 10, 13:35
Show up at 4am and ask. People do lots of things for reasons personal to them {nm} Dec 10, 15:40
Avengers avg $47,698; JW $48,855; TDK $36,283; TDKR $36,532 {nm} Dec 10, 12:10
If my memory success someone said back when ultron opened that the reason it had fewer theaters than the first avengers Dec 10, 11:57
*serves not success {nm} Dec 10, 11:59
In this case though is not about exclusivity, but the restrictions to run on the biggest theater(s) for a month. {nm} Dec 10, 12:16
I meant screen(s) within a theater {nm} Dec 10, 12:16
I've read 4400+ so that figure is a tad low. {nm} Dec 10, 13:06
3900 came from Disney. Anything you read before was someone's guess. {nm} Dec 10, 13:14
Took a theater/show/screen count during IM3's OW and made a chart. Some basic data, w/Catching Fire added: Dec 10, 12:06
Thanks for putting that all in 1 place. {nm} Dec 11, 01:08
250 fewer screens than JURA4, AVNG2 & HGAM4?? I'm sorry but thats just not possible. {nm} Dec 10, 12:23
*waves hand* "These are not the movie screens you are looking for." {nm} Dec 10, 12:37
Many Drive-ins and seasonal theaters are not open in winter {nm} Dec 10, 12:56
If that # is accurate then that tells me... Dec 10, 13:08
