It has begun. {nm} second gary Dec 22, 07:23

That's insane....! Previous Monday record was 27M, on summer AND holiday. {nm} Filmstardust Dec 22, 07:29

Every day from now until Jan 3rd will act like a holiday. Well, except for Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. {nm} Inigo75 Dec 22, 07:51

+1 {nm} Dorfman Dec 22, 08:32

even adjusting for 11 years of inflation, previous record holder Spider-Man 2 could only manage $37M tealfan Dec 22, 09:59

Looking forward to data on multiple viewings.. many of my friends have already done a 2nd or 3rd viewing {nm} andy007 Dec 22, 07:52

Wow. I predicted $250m+ for week 2.. was originally thinking $300 but I went "conservative". MiyazakiFan Dec 22, 08:06

Will this stock ever stop growing so I can sell it and retire already? {nm} DTshakes Dec 22, 08:32

No... The force is too strong with this one. {nm} Quickslver99 Dec 22, 08:37

Fan Boys + Christmas Legs = A Winning Combo! eyescovered Dec 22, 08:43

Plus other studio's threw in their towels beforehand. No competition to speak of {nm} jmt-nl Dec 22, 08:47

"It's funny (and true) how you say it has "Christmas legs", but just a few months ago everyone said that December was a very limited time {nm} tomcat90 Dec 22, 09:24

Not true, a few months ago everyone said December isn't a good time to open a movie, not that it wouldn't hold well. benz0 Dec 22, 09:40

Nope, this happens every year. Movies released around this time usually have 3,4,5 or sometimes even a 6.0 delist multiplier. {nm} eyescovered Dec 22, 10:01

Anyone doubt that Avatar's 760.5 domestic record will fall in the New Year? {nm} Dorfman Dec 22, 08:44

If i were Disney i would be putting all Star War films in December... no need for summer {nm} cinebello Dec 22, 09:39

I think the question then becomes would Disney/Fox release Star Wars and Avatar against each other, if not, which one moves to summer {nm} benz0 Dec 22, 09:43

Star Wars has already moved to summer. {nm} Antibody Dec 22, 09:52

in 2017 {nm} Antibody Dec 22, 09:52

Right, but (at least publicly) there's nothing about 2019. Taking a wait and see approach to see how Avatar 2 does first before deciding? benz0 Dec 22, 10:08

The Han Solo movie is opening in late May arfter Avengers 3 in early May. {nm} Antibody Dec 22, 10:20

SW is more than just a movie. December release isnt the best time to maximize all revenue streams {nm} Moviesnob Dec 22, 09:45

Can sell a lot of Christmas toys though. {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 22, 09:58

not as many as a release prior to Thanksgiving would have had {nm} Moviesnob Dec 22, 10:21

Another 40m overseas as well, $610m worldwide. Already topped MJ2 and Martian MattW Dec 22, 09:46
