I think it is going to pass the 1 billion mark. My guess is next Sunday or sometime during the following week. And it is still playing on a lot of screens and hasn’t hit the second run theaters yet. So there is potential for it climb a couple of notches higher for the 2019 worldwide box office.
That’s not what the data indicates. All films have shown the same very consistent pattern in January, namely a half time of about a week, meaning each week will bring in about half the BO of last week. If it hits 1 billion, it will likely do so in about two weeks at the earliest, more likely near the end of its run, although the scenario, that it just misses the 1 billion mark is also still on the table. Jan 6 and the days thereafter will very likely show a dramatic drop in BO revenue, since it is the end of the holiday period for most people around the globe with kids going back to school. It will then likely pick up a bit for the weekend, but like I said, it is unlikely it will do much more than half of last weekend.
