I can't believe it's not getting to $900 million domestic.

After the 3rd weekend we realized it wasn't going to get The Force Awakens, but I thought it'd be close. It's going to end up about $80 million short, maybe getting to $850 million.

Responses:

It has definitely burned off at a rate none of us could have predicted. -- nm - David Jun 2, 09:54 17
- It's the 3 hours. I'd watch it again, but paying $40 to watch it again is a bit much. - Beryllium Jun 2, 13:40 3
  - it's the 30 minutes of trailers up front -- nm - peglegpete Jun 2, 14:08
  - If I could bring my laptop and do some work while watching it, then I'd be game. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 13:41 1
    - ha ha this is how I feel about the overlong marvel movies too. "I have things to do!" -- nm - amanda Jun 2, 13:50
- Nothing seems to have legs right now. We just went through a Memorial Day weekend where no holderover had a less than 40% dropoff. - Inigo Jun 2, 12:35 2
  - Of course Disney would, with a big opening out of their property every 2 weeks. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 2, 13:08 1
    - Anyone bitching about it "only" making $850 million should think about their expectations. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 14:14
- to many screens for these movies on opening weekends. -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 10:53 1
  - Studios are crying all the way to their 90% first weekend demands. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 12:43
- I saw it, I loved it, but I can wait for it to show up on Vudu before I watch it again. -- nm - Bacon Jun 2, 10:36
- I certainly don't pay attention like I once did, but it seems like you could expect this one to be the front-loadediest of all. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 2, 10:21 6
  - Most of these mega-opening movies end up having 'legs' based on the idea that they are an event in and of themselves. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 10:26 5
    - Except for Dark Knight those are all "firsts." First Avengers, first in a new Jurassic series, first in a new Star Wars series. This was a last. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 2, 11:21
    - I wonder if multipliers didn't break because of the massive size of the opening AND of the sheer size of its opening circuit. - Marlowe Jun 2, 10:36 3
      - No doubt. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 10:46
      - Maybe, people already had the event feel built in so they showed up immediately. But the losing screens is solely because it dropped off - Will Hunting Jun 2, 10:42 1
        
        The per screen average is not that far away from the others, not enough to justify it losing - Marlowe Jun 2, 10:56
Maybe they’ll give it the “ Disney Treatment “ -- nm - Epiphany Jun 2, 09:51 1
- I actually expect a December awards rerelease. -- nm - Tim Jun 2, 09:54
and btw, Gunner was about a foot too far back. - Tim Jun 2, 09:47 1
- It's a glass half-full thing, but they would have practiced that a lot. I'm confident that's where Gunnar was supposed to stand. - David Jun 2, 09:58
