are you bored? please vote for my friend's kid (it's just to ride the holiday train). - Landie Calrissian Dec 18, 10:38
So is SW:TFA a post adjust long or short? Normally it's an easy short, but it's holiday season. -- nm - pmb Dec 18, 10:30 8
- ~It's long, it's strong, it's dyin to get the merchin' on.~ -- nm* - Kylo Bud Dec 18, 10:35
- The Christmas opening makes it a long. Everything has legs this time of year. It's just a question of how much more than adjust it delists to, not if. -- nm - Inigo Dec 18, 10:34
- Avatar was a huge December long but low opening weekend. Jurassic World was a slight summer long on top of its record opening. -- nm - Max Rebo Dec 18, 10:32 1
  - Slight meaning %0.75 gain. I've been struggling for cash so I probably won't tie it up for that ROI. -- nm - Max Rebo Dec 18, 10:39
- No matter what it adjusts to, guaranteed long. -- nm - Lukola Skywalker Dec 18, 10:31
- my guess: it will initially drop as people sell who need to free up the money, but i think delist could be higher than adjust. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 18, 10:31
- mega long -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 18, 10:31 1
  - I don't play HSX anymore but this. Nothing else in 2015 has the repeated attendance factor like this does - Obi-Wan Kilobi Dec 18, 10:34
Conan O'Brien...roundup of his Star Wars interviews... -- (link) - Remlik Five standing by! Dec 18, 10:30

- woohooo! and 7 days until Downton (final) xmas special and Detectorists (premier) xmas special! -- nm - mud Dec 18, 10:31
- I'm just a fan of all three, don't feel a need to rank em. -- nm - Kylo Bud Dec 18, 10:30 1
  - I'm just having fun. - Krusty Dec 18, 10:40

My numbers for Episode VII: 57 for Thursday, 59 for Friday, 65 for Saturday, 61 for Sunday. - Inigo Dec 18, 10:16 13
- Thursday # was $55M for approx 5 hours of screening. -- nm - Kylo Bud Dec 18, 10:37
- If it follows Deathy Hallows pattern, it would make $221.6 million this weekend. - Inigo Dec 18, 10:31 3
  - what was your prediction two weeks ago? ;) -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 18, 10:32 1
    - $175 million. I am gladly wrong. I thought it would make $40 million in Thursday night previews. -- nm - Inigo Dec 18, 10:33
  - hee -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 18, 10:31
- i think today will be the monster v. saturday -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 18, 10:26 3
  - this. i think today is $80M+ -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 18, 10:31 2
    - I highly doubt this. $62 million by Jurassic World is the most we've seen on a Friday. - Inigo Dec 18, 10:37 1
      - you are counting screens, but not *screenings*. I don't believe JW was playing at 9am etc all over the place, was it? -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 18, 10:44
- The insane thing about that is that is somehow *seems* low. -- nm - ShaunShaun Dec 18, 10:24 1
  - At least the Friday/Saturday numbers will be bigger. Remember, Thursday was from 7pm on. -- nm - Kylo Bud Dec 18, 10:25

Hmm, had to leave work a bit early today (like, 9:30 is early, right?) because I was needed at home. - Beryllium (hasn't seen it yet) Dec 18, 09:50
