    I've felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of box office trolls cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

    I suddenly miss Jon Bowen's pie in the sky optimism and polemics.

    50 million on Thursday previews alone estimate. THis might literally make as much in three days as Return of the Jedi made in it's entire first run!

    Looks like TFA is headed for a 200M+ weekend. JUrassic World's record is reachable. Mojo is predicting a $231M opening.

    Now serious talk of 100 milion in a DAY.

    This is insane, no one was even guessing close to the first day numbers that are now coming out. 231 million weekend? That's also looking way too low. TFA was the movie we all wanted 16 years ago, it's also doing the Box Office we wanted TPM to do as well.

    I don't know man...arguing box office numbers from 16+ years ago is like apples and oranges. I know that TPM grossed about 30-40M in its re-release, but even so it did over 700M if you adjust (TFA will clear that, but I don't expect it to go much past 800M, so the amount it's gonna clear it by is impressive, but not ridiculously so). That is a huge number.


    Titanic's number adjusted for inflation is also mindboggling.
