This collection of steampunk themed Disney characters is gorgeous. -- (link) - Grand Mop Tarkin Dec 16, 11:28
STAR7 is more exciting in real life, but I don't think anything will ever top JURA4, as far as HSX is concerned. -- nm* - ShaunShaun Dec 16, 11:27 23

  - you poor, deluded souls -- nm - ML Dec 16, 11:50
  - I started on ST a few weeks after it opened (had played for months if not a year I think, before). - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 11:33
  - This will always be the standard. I miss having to make the call before the numbers. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 16, 11:31 1
    - nah, PASON -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 16, 11:31

        Let's say come Sunday night, SW7 does 190, that same article will be written and will be equally stupid. - Will Hunting Dec 16, 11:54
        
        See my comment to Mel below. -- (edited) - David Dec 16, 11:53
  - JURA4 was trading at a 100M OW days before opening. It adjusted up like ~145 iirc. -- nm - ShaunShaun Dec 16, 11:30 8
    - didn't we all make, like 100M that weekend? -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 16, 11:31 7
      - I was up like 35M Sunday. -- nm* - ShaunShaun Dec 16, 11:32 6

    - He and David are the two rottens. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 16, 11:27 2
      - I want to be very clear that I expect this movie to *be* great, and if it is, it should be a Best Picture nominee. I'm not poo-pooing the movie. -- nm - Max Rebo Dec 16, 11:31
      - I'm sure you'll kick the ball this time, Lucy. -- nm - David Dec 16, 11:28
- I'm stayling with 240. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 11:25
- 312.50M. Always has been, always will be. - Spawn Solo Dec 16, 11:23
- $227M. About what I thought. -- nm - Lightning Bear (aka Volnelk) Dec 16, 11:23
- 232M,much higher. -- nm - ShaunShaun Dec 16, 11:22
- 195. Higher than my original estimate of I think 153. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 16, 11:22

  - I could anticipate a conversation here late Friday or early Saturday akin to the one we had with the first Spider-man - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 11:23 19
    - It shouldn't be. The December record is $86 million. It's already broken that with presales. -- nm - David Dec 16, 11:26 16
      - You know what else had massive pre sales? - Lukola Skywalker Dec 16, 11:34 10
        
        Oops. Force of habit. - Lukola Skywalker Dec 16, 11:34 8
        
        I vaguely recall writing some controversial columns about that. -- nm - David Dec 16, 11:35 7
        
        There is a chance that the level of presales for SW cannot be directly compared with presales for JW. - Lukola Skywalker Dec 16, 11:42 6
        
        My company has bought out 4 entire theaters/showings, and using it as a holiday party. - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 11:59 3

        You worked for them in 1993? -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 16, 12:00 1
        
        Well, the didn't in 1993 either, so it stands. -- nm - Jax Pavan Dec 16, 12:01
        
        That's right. Star Wars fans want to buy early. -- nm - David Dec 16, 11:49 1
        
        I agree with this. -- nm - ML Dec 16, 11:51
        
        Nah. - David Dec 16, 11:34
      - But as Will mentioned this morning - any talk about the number, especially if it blows by records, has baked into it special positive circumstances. -- nm - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 11:29 4
        
        As I mentioned the other day, I expect Disney to trumpet the global take if it fails to break the domestic record. - David Dec 16, 11:33 2
        
        I think a pre-sale record break is noteworthy, perhaps even to the masses but 2 things... - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 11:41 1
        
        If Star Wars break the record, it's stunningly impressive. - David Dec 16, 12:04
        
        therefor the pre-sale numbers don't blow passed everyone's expectations. - Mel Profitine Dec 16, 11:31
    - right, i think it if comes in at 195 or something people will think it failed. when, in fact, that's a huge huge number. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 16, 11:24 1
      - Only, what, 120M more than the next highest December opening? -- nm* - ShaunShaun Dec 16, 11:25
- $185 million -- nm - David Dec 16, 11:21 5
  - *points and laughs* -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 16, 11:21 4
    - Raise your hand if you're 3-0 on Star Wars evaluations! - David Dec 16, 11:31 3
      - you're the Atlanta Falcons of them -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 16, 11:32 2
        
        Then, I'll remain quiet when Star Wars X comes out. -- nm* - David Dec 16, 11:34 1
        
        no need to wait that long -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 16, 11:39
- $220, $221 - jar jar trump Dec 16, 11:21 1
