JW did great but realistically it can probably only make another $20 to $30 million world wide and it looks like it will not surpass Titanic's domestic grand total which is still pretty good since it took Titanic forever to pass the $600 million mark and its re release really didn't add that much to its grand total. JW could match what Titanic did on its re release.

People are estimating up to 100m for JW in Japan. It's not slowing down at all even after Obon Week. And since there is no other big release until the end of August then we should expect at the very minimum 65m for Japan. So it's 100% sure going to break 1 billion overseas. Domestically though, it still depends on Universal for it to beat Titanic's 658m gross. Its getting an IMAX release for one week on Aug 28, that's just IMAX not the regular or normal 3D screens. If they also plan on increasing the 3d and normal screens then it might have a chance on beating Titanic.

Second to Avatar.

Nice, sounds good no one expected it to be this big. 

Minions was actually the widest release this year it opened in 4,301 theater and got expanded to 4,311 for a couple of days.  Avatar isn't even in the top ten it opened in 3,452 theaters and it got expanded to 3,456 and then 3,461 both those counts lasted for one week.  The widest release ever was actually The Twillight Saga: Eclispe 4,468 theater for three days June 30, 31 and July 9th in 2010.

Yeah it's on its 3rd week already and its still earning the same as when it premiered in Japan. Obon Week seem to have boosted the great word of mouth even more. MInions is also holding pretty great slowly catching up to MI5 despite being released earlier. Universal is on a roll. Domestically SOC is dominating too.

This might be Sony's weakest performing year since 2005.. or even worse.

The only think that should be big they have left for the rest of the year is Spectre but I doubt it will be as big as Skyfall.

Right now Sony's movie studio is sitting at $300M domestic for the year.

In 2005 it had a total of $917M. If Spectre manages to do as much as Skyfall, which is unlikely, the studio will sit at $604M, so they need another $313M from other sources of income. I have no idea what they could be.

If they don't beat 2005's number, Sony just jumped back 15 years to 2000-2001 levels ( $600M-$700M range ) which is devastating.

I thought the question was about whether it would have the highest gross without any re-releases, since it followed a discussion about how it wouldn't pass Titanics final tally (including a 3D re-release), so that is what I answered. I don't see why it would have anything to do with theatre counts.
