Unfortunately it will need UNiversal/Legendary's help for it to surpass Titanic. Meaning they need to increase the theatre count to a thousand or so more near the end of JW's run for it to surpass it. If they don't then JW will only end up with 644m+ by it's 16th week. I arrived with this estimate by comparing its gross to The Avengers 8th week in which it earned almost the same amount in its weekend. From then on until its 17th week it grossed 19m more. Disney expanded its screen count to a further 1700 screens after that which is why it was able to get to 623m+. If Disney did not expand it then TA would not have reached even 618m. |
Chances are they won't use their resources in that regard. Universal is one of the more modest studios when it comes to grosses.
