We'll make the cutoff 7:00PM eastern tomorrow, since that's when screenings begin on the east coast. I'm not seeing it until Saturday so I won't be involved in any discussions, but I may pop in here just to post about Friday estimates and such.

$142 million. Will come down to how much the Star Wars brand can offset the confusion around this not being a direct saga sequel.

Plus no Jar Jar loses them at least $50m in domestic gross*






*measured in LV dollars.

Thursday previews brought in $29m, more than any other movie this year and 7th most all time. Not earth shattering.

Most post-Friday projections put this at over $150m. We won't get the full results until Monday night, probably.

I didn't really have any doubt that it would clear 150. Just wasn't sure by how much. I've already bought my ticket. But it's for Tuesday, so I'm not helping the opening weekend numbers.
