Dejana December 30, 2015 Author Share December 30, 2015 (edited) Star Wars: The Force Awakens passes the $600 million milestone in its 12th day (domestically) and has made $1.228 billion so far in total. Inflation or not, its popularity is very impressive! Here's how quickly the other $600+ million movies made the mark: Jurassic World: 36 days | Jul 17, 2015 (Released Jun 12, 2015) Avatar: 47 days | Jan 29, 2010 (Released Dec 18, 2009) The Avengers: 54 days | Jun 22, 2012 (Released May 4, 2012) Titanic: 252 days | Aug 21, 1998 (Released Dec 19, 1997) Edited December 30, 2015 by Dejana Link to comment
SeanC January 3, 2016 Share January 3, 2016 One of the things that looking at the list of top-grossing films (unadjusted) drives home is what a stupendous outlier Titanic was -- it came out a full 12 years before anything else on the list with it; everything else is 2009 or later. 2 Link to comment
AimingforYoko January 3, 2016 Share January 3, 2016 The funny thing about both of Cameron's blockbusters is that they didn't follow the usual formula: Huge opening and then smaller than normal dropoffs. They started OK and then went on and on and on.... 2 Link to comment
VCRTracking January 3, 2016 Share January 3, 2016 (edited) Titanic was a pretty amazing phenomenon. It seems EVERYBODY saw that movie. Even my mom who never goes out to the movies ever since we got a VCR went to see Titanic in the theater two months after it opened because of the word of mouth. Beyond it being a good Star Wars movie and hitting the nostalgia buttons, The Force Awakens has all of the best elements from other blockbusters. It has the irreverent humor of the Marvel movies, a young strong female heroine like from the Hunger Games, it has the two ethnic characters who are bromantic and having fun doing awesome stuff like The Fast and the Furious movies(Poe is as amazingly good a pilot as Vin Diesel is at driving in those movies), a guy doing Shia LeBeouf-esque comedy (without being Shia LeBeouf), the old school heroism of an Expendables movie with Han and Chewie and finally an extremely cute character that could have come out of a Pixar movie in BB8.

Dejana January 3, 2016 Author Share January 3, 2016 (edited) The funny thing about both of Cameron's blockbusters is that they didn't follow the usual formula: Huge opening and then smaller than normal dropoffs. They started OK and then went on and on and on.... Titanic and Avatar were both released in December, and at the time were both thought to have strong opening weekends for the time of year. In 1997, Scream 2 had just set the December OW record at $32.9M and Titanic came in at $28.6M, both ahead of any December OW from 1996 and earlier. Avatar's $77.0M OW was within 200K of the then-record holder I Am Legend ($77.2M). For years, December has had a reputation for softer opening weekends, but stronger weekdays to make up for it, with so many people having time off during the holidays. Until this year, a December movie had never even had a $100 million OW, let alone $150M or $200M. TFA will be #1 unadjusted before next weekend.

dusang January 18, 2016 Share January 18, 2016 I think there's an audience for the story but Bayghazi probably could have used more star power to approach the success of Lone Survivor or American Sniper. I didn't see any of the comp titles either, so I'm clearly not in the target demo for "Secret Soldiers," but Michael Bay is the last person I would ever look to for a true story. I'm more imagining a live-action version of Team America: Wold Police. Link to comment

methodwriter85 February 1, 2016 Share February 1, 2016 (edited) I saw Room at a 10 p.m. showing but there were no people. Eh. The Revenant has officially made back its production budget. I'm happy Brooklyn is over the 30 million mark. Little slice of life films like this just don't get made that much anymore. Edited February 1, 2016 by methodwriter85 Link to comment

Dejana February 8, 2016 Author Share February 8, 2016 (edited) I've never even heard of Regression. It stars Emma Watson and Ethan Hawke, and was supposed to come out last August before getting yanked from the schedule. This new release date was just publicized at the end of January. No ads and a Super Bowl weekend release date = dumped. It's going to be on Amazon in a month. It did come out last year overseas in some places, like Spain (the director is Spanish) and the UK.

Probably one of the more surprising results since American Sniper went wide last year: even if I didn't think The Force Awakens could make that much money in a December weekend, it was still Star Wars. Ryan Reynolds as an a R-rated superhero? I can't believe it's going to sell more tickets than multiple X-Men movies. Edited February 13, 2016 by Dejana Link to comment

As far as fatigue goes, I can't speak for other franchises, (still haven't seen any of the Amazing Spiderman or Dark Knight reboots) but the brilliance of the Avenger series (and X-men to a lesser extent) is they are basically all one epic saga. Not saying people won't skip one or wait to catch it on Demand, but it's pretty much in for a penny in for a pound for a lot of moviegoers. 1 Link to comment
xaxat February 15, 2016 Share February 15, 2016 I wonder if the producers of the other super hero movies are feeling a tad bit more anxious now because studio expectations have been raised after the outsized performance of a low budget, R rated movie about a relatively obscure anti-hero.

The reviews are middling but I'm happy for good young Canadian Stephan James too!) Not only did he headline it, but he also produced it, which means he probably has a pretty good percentage of the gross box office. If he does, and given that this movie cost 58 million to make and has already made that back over 4 times domestically, Ryan Reynolds is basically set for life. I always thought Van Wilder was his best role, and that Ryan was really good at R-rated snarky humor. He doesn't have the chops for being a straight-forward leading man, but he's honestly great for this. 1 Link to comment

methodwriter85 February 23, 2016 Share February 23, 2016 After marrying Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively, one could say he was there before Deadpool. Being that I'm gay, that's not really a consideration for me. LOL. In any event, until someone's married for 30 plus years, I tend to not take stock in them really going the distance, especially Hollywood couples. Anyway, Ryan Reynolds stands to make at least 10 mil for the movie because he's the only actor that actually had percentage gross in this. Link to comment
