As for the new releases on Friday, Spain led the way with $3.5 million. December 23rd, 2015 Rogue One isn’t expected to hit those heights—our weekend prediction is $143 million—but it will certainly be the second-biggest opener in December. You can't even say Avatar had it easy due to weaker competition, so perhaps the explanation lies elsewhere. 2017 is behind 2016’s pace by over $400 million and and this weekend is the last chance it has to cut that deficit by any real margin. On the other hand, great expectations can mean a movie could open with $100 million and still be considered a disappointment. This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, because even though the film earned the weakest reviews of the live-action Star Wars films, it is still a Star Wars film. This is a terrible week on the home market, mostly. It will be too late to stop him. Historical (5-years) breakdown of the player and subscriber populations. It won’t get there tomorrow.

However, they reportedly had to reshoot 70% of the movie, which lifted the price to $250 million. More... That said, it is already in seventh place on the 2017 domestic chart and will be in fourth place by the end of the weekend. That film was Avatar, and it took the film 253 days, and a late summer re-release, to get there. That’s certainly what I was thinking. December 1st, 2017 Since those two films earned $57 million and $29 million respectively during their previews, The Last Jedi would need $43 million to be on target. On the other hand, The Hateful Eight got off to a disappointing start earning third place with just a fraction of Django Unchained's opening weekend.

More importantly, it rose by 31% when compared to this weekend last year. If the film’s reviews were in line with The Phantom Menace’s, then it would be in trouble. That record fell earlier this year, but that's not a lot of comfort for this weekend, as all three new releases combined won't match American Sniper's haul. As for the box office, February was amazing, thanks to Deadpool's record-breaking opening and better than expected legs. Just Mercy isn’t doing as well with critics or in limited release, so it likely won’t be a major factor during its wide expansion. An all-time record seems virtually guaranteed, but how high could the film actually go this weekend?

It remains in eighth place on the 2017 chart, but it will top Despicable Me 3 for seventh place sometime today (possibly by the time you read this, in fact). Given the $30 million over-performance at home, it’s perhaps a slight surprise that Star Wars isn’t also projected to take the global weekend record, with its expected $517 million falling a little behind Jurassic World’s $524.9 million debut earlier in the year. However, The Force Awakens did set the worldwide opening record with $529 million, just ahead of Jurassic World’s mark of $525 million. The Force Awakens has now broken records for every milestone from $50 million to $500 million, with more to fall. There are a few films that have a shot at $100 million. I’ve never seen a month this lop-sided. Secondly, I was surprised that The Force Awakens could still surprise me after every record it has broken so far. Simple, nothing but lists. Better than anticipated reviews could help it break records over the weekend. There's a chance no film makes in total as much as The Force Awakens makes during its opening day.

They are worth picking up if you are a fan of their respective genres. Weekend Predictions: Last Jedi Goes up Against Rogue and Awakens If so, what path would it have to take to get there? First a quick note, this is a weekend preview, not weekend predictions, because I’m looking more at the big picture and less at the actual weekend numbers. It is also in fifth place on the yearly international chart. The Revenant should have one of the best week-to-week declines, thanks in part to its Awards Season success. It appears The Force Awakens is acting more like a typical blockbuster hit and less like the typically leggy December release. In spite of these awesome stats, there’s about as much negative press for the film as positive, and some of it not entirely fair. In the meantime, I’m a little more bullish than I was last week, as the reviews finally started coming in. It didn't live up to them. This was still 20% higher than the same weekend last year, boosting 2014's lead over 2013 to 8% at $2.92 billion to $2.70 billion. After this start, even the low end of expectations has it topping $500 million worldwide over the weekend. Such statistics are fairly academic when you already have $700 million in the bank domestically, though, and Star Wars’ momentum coming out of the holidays is such that it will register the biggest ever New Year’s weekend, and the biggest-ever 3rd weekend, overtaking Avatar’s $68.5 million. The latest Star Wars installment earned $8.02 million on Monday for a running tally of $750.23 million. Among its new records this weekend, it became the 3rd-fastest film to earn $350 million at the domestic box office, and will have the 3rd-best Christmas weekend.

It has already broken some box office records, becoming the first film to reach $100 million in advance ticket sales. I'm going to say no to both, but the former is much more likely than the latter. This year, Star Wars: The Force Awakens destroyed that record with $27.59 million on Thursday. More... Star Wars: The Clone Wars was a digitally animated TV series that took place inbetween Episode II and Episode III. Ride Along 2 is the film with the best shot at first place, assuming its reviews don't kill it. It didn’t just beat the old record, it destroyed it. The record for biggest opening day in that market is currently held by The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 at $3.5 million, so we are going to have to wait for final numbers to figure out if that record fell. This is the biggest non-holiday opening day in that market and the second-biggest opening day of all time, behind Spectre. 13 Hours looks like a solid top-five film, but not a major hit, while Norm of the North is just hoping not to embarrass itself. Firstly, will Star Wars: The Force Awakens become the first film to earn $100 million three weekends in a row?

There are a couple of big hits on this week's list of new releases. The reviews are practically identical and both films earned an A from CinemaScore, so having similar legs is more likely.

This week, Solo: A Star Wars Story hits the home market and while the film missed expectations at the box office, it is still a big enough hit to scare away most of the competition. In fact, the weekend was so bad that Star Wars: The Force Awakens remained in third place during its eighth weekend of release. Its target on the all-time best openings in December chart is the $149 million earned by Episode VII in its second weekend. More... As expected, Solo: A Star Wars Story earned top spot on Friday with $8.15 million. Because of this, there will be no Limited Release Report this week.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier won the weekend box office race with a better than expected result and this helped it reach $200 million. Granted, it is way too early to make any long terms predictions and next weekend will be brutal for 2016 in the year-over-year comparison, but every little bit now will help at the end of the year. On the other hand, the film had to settle for second place in South Korea behind local hit The Himalayas. It has also cracked $50 million in Germany ($55.28 million) and is getting close to that milestone in France ($46.14 million). More...

(Jurassic World still holds the record for Biggest Saturday, so at least it is not being completely erased from the record books.) It will open with more than any film last December made and that should help 2017 cut into 2016’s lead. Eight Records Star Wars Needs to Break Granted, Thor: Ragnarok over-performed and Justice League underperformed, but overall there were no real surprises. The Last Jedi topped last night’s estimate, earning $104.78 million on Friday.
