This pretty much guarantees it over $100 mill on "Friday" alone.
ETA: Day 1: $120 Mill
ETA2: Weekend: $238M
ETA3: Over $1B Worldwide in 10 days

Dec. 18 - Star Wars: The Force Awakens is firing on all cylinders, bringing in an estimated $57 million from Thursday evening "previews", breaking the previous record of $43.5 million set by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 back in 2011.

Interestingly enough, $57 million is enough to break the all-time Thursday single day record of $50 million, which was set by Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith in 2005. Of course, as is standard operating procedure, Disney will be rolling these Thursday numbers into their overall Friday gross, which will almost certainly break the largest Friday, opening day and single day record currently held by Deathly Hallows - Part 2 at $91 million. As a matter of fact, once it crosses $84.62 million on Friday it will have already broken the December opening weekend record previously set by The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey. Add to that, it has already obliterated the largest December single day, also previously owned by The Hobbit, a paltry $37.13 million by comparison.

The thing this movie has going for it is a large chunk of the audience from Thursday will probably see it again before the end of 2015. Maybe even 3-4 times. I expect this thing to break every record ever recorded.

Yep. Saw it last night with my brother and some of his friends and I'll be seeing it again tomorrow.

I doubt it takes the top spot on all-time. $2.7 Billion is hard to beat. It'll come in #3 probably.

I don't see this until Sunday :((((((((((

It's on track to make $215+ million this weekend. It's going to grab the domestic opening weekend record quite easily.

I think Star Wars fans will take a run at Avatar for sure.

I saw it last night. I'll see it again Saturday.

How Avatar made that is beyond perplexing.
It has no lasting impact. No one cares about it at all. Just...bizarre.

It killed internationally. Like over $2 billion killed it.

It was the first big 3D blockbuster movie if I recall.
Records were broken more from people wanting to see what the visual experience was more than it was a good movie.

Not even in the top 50 for opening weekends.. It came out and than just started snowballing picking up press and more and more people went and saw it. But it was the new visual effects that drew everyone to go see it.

Avatar was in theaters for so long that's why it did that. It was in the theater for like half a year

The time a movie is in theaters is set by the number of people still going to see it. If it is still pulling in boat loads of money they wont pull it. TFA could run for just as long if people are still going to see it.

If it is a good movie, I will go see it a couple of times.
