a little further back E.T. 20th aniversary did 35 million in 2002
then these are the most sucessful 3d rereleases, though when they were rerelease they weren't exclusively in 3d
Lion King 3d 94 million in 2011
Titanic 3d almost 58 million in 2012
Jurrasic park 45 million 2013
All those movies except E.T. moved up several on the chart with those rereleases and had it done a few million probably 3 or so back in 02 it would also be up a spot since it's less than 5 million behind the next movie on the list.
Bringing all this back to Star Wars TFA depending on where it ends up on that list it could be just a few million shy of the next movie, unless it does get up to number 3 at that point the gaps get huge the gap between 2 and 3 is almost twice as big as the gap between 3 and 8.
Currently I expect it to end up from 3 to 9 on the list. With 9 very likely even if its starts dropping more rapidly, while 3 being possible if it's legs are closer to Avatars than Jurrasic World or the Avengers. Basing that on what percentage those movies had taken in after 17days. Should it be even more front loaded than any of those it still has a little room before it wouldn't beat # 9 on the list

94M, 58M, 45M, that's nothing in the grand scheme of adjusted for inflation gross. Also, keep in mind that those movies were released at a time where there was 70% less theatres in the US.

you need to stop looking at this from it's all about movie #1
$94M would bump any movie on that list up multiple spots outside the top 10 and within the top 10 at least one spot for all but the 2nd 3rd and 9th and that's just the raw number the S94M was from 2011 so probably now over $100M even those other amounts add up. Titanic wouldn't be top 5. Jurrasic Park, The Phantom Menace or the Lion King wouldn't be in the top 20.
What are you talking about with the 70% less theaters?
