Re: THE LAST JEDI over/under AVATAR? under
The Empire Strikes Back did about 30% less than Star Wars too.

Nope, STAR WARS did $221,280,994 and EMPIRE $181,379,640 in their respective first runs - that's a drop of 18 %... BOM falsely includes the 1978, 1979 and 1981 re-releases in its initial release total...

Re: THE LAST JEDI over/under AVATAR? Under - I still think it will fall short of $700m

Re: THE LAST JEDI over/under AVATAR? I believe over Avatar. It's going to have Imax theatres for what 4 weeks in a row? It's opening weekend is going to be over 200+. It will be close to 500 by the end of it's 2nd weekend. After 3 weekends it will be closing on 600. I think it will then eventually pass Avatar with the remainder of it's run.

Re: THE LAST JEDI over/under AVATAR? I'm going with OVER as well, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was just barely.

Of course you would find a reason that it's ok or you to include re-releases, but not stuffp. You are still making a case where The Last Jedi's first-run is being predicted to out-gross or under-gross more than one release of Avatar. How many attempts does The Last Jedi have to out-gross Avatar's total gross for this question to be answered? I bet it's just one, right?

Re: THE LAST JEDI over/under AVATAR? Under Avatar original domestic release $749,766,139, not counting the Avatar: Special Edition re-release. (Here's an interesting article on the differences.)

Re: THE LAST JEDI over/under AVATAR? Last night I watched the double feature of SW7 & SW8... The quality is certainly there to beat AVATAR, hopefully it'll materialize...

Re: THE LAST JEDI over/under AVATAR? Under. WOM is divided. It was divided for TFA also but the novelty factor kept its momentum going.
