Thu numbers are in and TLJ did just $851K. This means that RO outperformed it by 10.9% for the same day. It also drops the amount that TLJ has been outperforming RO, outside of opening weekend, to 7.3%.
For the weekend, BOM expects TLJ to do $6.2M, a drop of 47.7% WOW. This would put the DBO at $603.9M, which is 31.3% down from TFA. It also lowers the rate it has been outperforming RO to 6.9%. After its 6th weekend, RO made $19.8M. If the 6.9% holds, TLJ will make $21.3M. This would bring the DBO final to $625.2M. If the current FBO percentage of 53% holds, final WW take will be $1.33B.
Of course, the current trend of the past few days may hold, with TLJ actually performing worse than RO. So, there's a chance that TLJ only makes $15M-$18M in the next few weeks. This would make the final DBO $618.9-$621.9M, or below The Avengers' $623.4M. This would also make final WW numbers ~$1.32B, meaning Harry Potter 8 is in no fear of being passed.
