DL: STAR7 hits the B.O. tracking boards: Current opening estimates at $185M-$210M

Posted by: RamsFan2004 on Nov 24, 08:41

Star Wars: The Force Awakens registered on distributors’ tracking reports today, four weeks before the film opens and on the low end, some are projecting $185M and at the high end, they’re looking at $210M. However, like Jurassic World, its numbers are off the charts, and as we saw with that film, the sampling size for $100M+ openers is small, making projections a tricky process.

Don't see any industry articles boldly predicting a new OW record coming but it's feeling more likely by the day. Would be something in Dec {nm} RollingThunder Nov 24, 09:34

V: early tracking indicates [STAR7] will rack up at least $170 million; Rival executives privately predict over $200 million Antibody Nov 24, 09:26

That paragraph was updated to include " Disney insiders think an opening close to $170M is possible. " {nm} Antibody Nov 24, 09:30

So... You Will probably set the OW-derative at 200.., yes ? {nm} JMT-NL Nov 24, 10:01

IIRC, he usually sets the derivative as close to what the stock is currently trading at. It's not like IPOs, which can be more subjective. {nm} RollingThunder Nov 24, 10:11

True... But this is an out of category type of IPO.... where we players are trying to steer the man into a crazy startprice, So we can ... JMT-NL Nov 24, 11:07
