OFFICIAL NEWS A Lasting Record Of TFA's Financial Performance.

well folks TFA hits...
Worldwide: $2,008,361,469
Isn't that now past Avatars 2.8 billion?

 

.

 

It had more than one run at the box office
12/18/2009 Avatar $749,766,139
08/27/2010 Avatar: Special Edition $10,741,486


I would put any amount of WATO's republic credits that a RE-RELEASE of a TFA Special Edition would make a little more than 100 million WW.

Who knows what the WW numbers added to the SE of the 2.78 million ACTUAL (why round up, lol) WW take.

The SEVENTH STAR WARS film isn't all that far off.....

taking BOW, lol

 

It would be logical for LFL do re release it like they did with ANH in 1978 with it being released in like Devember 2016 with a few added scenes if they are able to change JJ's mind .

 

I just don't see TFA getting rereleased. If there were a few years between TFA and VIII and no ther SW movies then I can see it. However, VIII is only 2 short years away. This year we get Rogue One. That's a lot is SW. If you factor in all the other movies Disney will be promoting over this time, I'll be surprised if TFA gets released again.

 

DAT TFA hold....

They did it for ANH even though ESB was "two short years" away even though it was done because of the new subtitles that was also having The Holiday Special *cringes* in ebtween as well .

 

The main difference is that nearly everyone now will have access to TFA through streaming, purchasing DVD, or other means. Back then, for most people, you had to watch the movie in the cinema or you had to wait until it was shown on TV. Re-releasing TFA in the cinema will add some money to the box office, but not that much and definitely not enough to catch Avatar.

 

I think if Avatar did it then LFL is capable of it IF they were to add extra scenes/finish ones that were cut but I also am now doubting it would happen and it would probably give YFA a few hundred million at most ...

 

Analysis of domestic week seven (January 29-February 4):

TFA posted a 14.4 million week, third most for a seventh week in movie history, behind Avatar and Titanic. It had week to day drops between 4 and 41 percent ; it did not obtain any daily records. Overall weekly drop was 27.3 percent, with strong weekend hold. TFA finished the week at 899 million, hitting 900 million the next day (50th day of release).

The seventh week saw TFA showing in 2556 theater screens; it is down to 2,262 screens in week eight. Over the last few weeks, it's trajectory has modeled the first Avengers movie most closely. This could always change.

Because the DVD/Blu-ray is allegedly coming out on April 5 (Amazon just removed this release date from their page), I am projecting that TFA will leave the theaters just before that time. The fifteenth week ends on March 31, so that is my current projected end date.

Future projection, revised to include this week's results and assuming TFA is in theaters until March 31:

CURRENT TRAJECTORY: If TFA stays at a 30% week to day drop, it will hit $920 million domestic in week ten and finish somewhere around $930 million.
If TFA goes to a 40% week to day drop, it will hit $915-916 million domestic in week ten and finish somewhere around $920 million.
If TFA goes to a 50% week to day drop, it will finish around $913.5 million.

if it goes to an Avatar/Titanic trajectory and starts showing stronger legs, then this could happen:

If TFA goes to a 10% week to day drop, it will hit $930 million somewhere near week ten, and finish around $970-975 million.
If TFA goes to a 20% week to day drop, it will finish somewhere around $945 million.

 

Wonder how long before the movie is removed from cinemas. I had seen this movie once, opening day. No good reason why I hadn't seen it more than once other than being lazy (after all I plan to buy the blu-ray). Maybe this weekend, I'll see it again.

 

Another 2 days to go in my area before it is removed.

 

ya I realized now I miss added... hahaha

It will hit $1 billion, its only at day 53. Movies like the Martian is at day 130 and still making some money. And its only at like 170 theaters making around 10k a day and about 30-40k on weekends.

Well The Martian is at day 130, Hunger games is at day 81, so ya well TFA is at day 53... Block busters will stay in theaters for awhile milking as much as they can.

 

I wish I could share your optimism. The Martian has made 228.1 million as of Day 130; it was at 213.6 million as of Day 53. That means it made 6.3% of it's gross between Day 53 and Day 130. If it can sustain 10k a day and 30-40k on weekends, it will need to stay another six plus weeks in the theaters to make another million dollars.

TFA is at 906.7 million at Day 53. If it did 6.3% of it's gross between Day 54 and Day 130, it would be somewhere around 960 million with no realistic chance of making 1 billion. TFA will need to do about 10 percent of its gross from Day 54 until end to hit 1 billion. Theoretically possible? Yes. Statistically likely? No.
