Episode III at the Box Office [Merged]

$72 million seems entirely possible, we only need hope that the Longest Yard and kiddy flick Madagascar flop or at least enough to allow Sith to rise to the record books once again this weekend.

I hope so...$72 is a long road to haul. If Friday breaks $20 million, we have a good shot.

Well considering it broke $14 million last Monday, nearly $10 million Tuesday, $8 1/2 million Wednesday, and $9 million Thursday when Shrek 2 only made $8 million during it's weekdays the second week.

Then taking into consideration BoxOfficeMojo's prediction of Sith for this weekend is $79.1 million (and almost laughable $58.2 for Madagascar and $45.4 for the Longest Yard).

Actually, after revising some of the facts we have a great chance of winning the record this weekend.

Those are 4 day weekend predictions, which I think might actually go a few million higher, but $72 in three days is quite a bit.

Anybody here what it did last night (Fri) yet? I went and saw it for the third time but it seemed more people were in line to see Longest Yard than anything else at the time I was there, hopefully that was the only time it seemed like that but I dunno.

ROTS is now up to $215,913,000 in the USA
$372,331,058 Worldwide

In The United States it made 15,470,000 on friday.

But to my surprise it didn't make the most on friday The Longest Yard Made more by under 300,000 dollars.

Those are estimates. Final numbers, which may actually be lower...are not in yet.

Peeps, I will give another Box Office Report when final numbers are in...and usually that is after the weekend.

However, I do feel that the SITH record rampage is clearly over, which is extremely disappointing.

It really disgusts me to see that the predictions have The Longest Yard ahead of ROTS for friday.

Not only that...Madagascar had a huge draw...and it doesn't look THAT good. Cinderella Man and Batman Begins will certainly tear SITH appart.

Oh well, it was pretty much expected.

Not me...I thought SITH would have more staying power.

I still believe it will be the fastest movie ever to $300 million.

Maybe by the end of Sunday...maybe. I don't think we'll see a day this weekend break $20 million, so it will be real close.

I think it will break $20 million today I'm trying to be optimistic it's Saturday that's why I think it will make $20 million today.

Two pretty high profile movies opened yesterday so it will be rough this weekend.

Next week is Cinderella Man, is there anything else? Because no matter how good it is, I dont see much of a box office spash for it.

I think Cinderella Man will be big next week.

Mr. & Mrs Smith the week after (Damn...that Angelina Jolie...she has to be the hottest woman in Hollywood).

And the Batman Begins after that...

It will be a rough couple of weeks for SITH.

The Smiths and Batman will win their respective weeks, no doubt.

I agree. I don't think Cinderella Man will win it's oppening weekend it may be a good movie I just don't think it will be a Box Office Hit. Mr and Mrs Smith will win it's weekend and so will Batman.

Smith looks stupid.. I've never understood the infatuation with Jolie... her lips annoy me. 😉

I'd have thought Sith would have had more staying power too. I don't know about other coutries but here it has been terribly advertised. I've only seen one TV spot shown (and it was a crappy one). The premiere was shown on the news but thats all. I've seen no television reviews or hype or anything. Quite sad really.

Jolie is f'ing hot. I don't think SMITH will do real well, but it will have its draw.
