Deadline has updated with more Rogue One Stats: 2nd highest day of pre-sales for IMAX (Force Awakens #1) notfabio Nov 29, 14:22

Sold more than advanced tickets in one day than all the sales of Dr. Strange, Suicide Squad, Deadpool {nm} notfabio Nov 29, 14:23

I don't read that as combined. "For Movietickets, Rogue One‘s first 24 hours outstrips their sales for Suicide Squad, Deadpool and Doctor S {nm} Antibody Nov 29, 14:26

Interesting the top 2 2016 films CAPA3 and SUPE2 are not top 3 presellers. {nm} Antibody Nov 29, 14:25

^top 2 openers I mean {nm} Antibody Nov 29, 14:25

Fans may not have known when presales started - Rogue One made it a huge announcement...that helped day 1 TwoMisfits Nov 29, 15:35

keep moving the goalposts {nm} slipping jimmy Nov 29, 15:35

No moving the goalposts - I still don't see data that takes this out of the trackers' weekend estimates - $4M is nowhere near $150M yet... {nm} TwoMisfits Nov 29, 15:36

90% of Force Awakens first-day presales would be more like $5.8m {nm} slipping jimmy Nov 29, 15:39

So, when I see presells of $75M or so before OW (or about 25%+ less than Star7), I'll take notice that this could break over $150M TwoMisfits Nov 29, 15:39

25% less than STAR7 would be $185M. Antibody Nov 29, 15:41

Star 7 had more than $100M presales (was around $120M if rumors are right) - thus my 25%+ remark... TwoMisfits Nov 29, 15:42

it also had an extra month of presales v. Rogue One's 3 weeks {nm} slipping jimmy Nov 29, 15:46

I know, so thereotically the OW would also be 25% less. {nm} Antibody Nov 29, 15:46

So $75M vs $120M is about 40% less or about $150M OW - wake me when we see that presale # exceeded...then this will be big... {nm} TwoMisfits Nov 29, 15:48

And this movie over Xmas actually has real competition for weekend #2 and #3 for families and sci fi... TwoMisfits Nov 29, 15:56

competition matters even less at Xmas. everyone has time to see whatever they want {nm} slipping jimmy Nov 29, 16:06

If you quit posting about Rogue One, I'll fo that {nm} JDolphin Nov 29, 20:11

... I'll do that :) {nm} JDolphin Nov 29, 20:12

2nd highest ever means it's already ahead of HGAM films that opened >$150M. {nm} Antibody Nov 29, 16:07
