I almost forgot this year, but at the last minute the Disney overlords who hold the contracts to my children's souls sent me a message via blood magic to remind me to start this year's thread. If you don't know the deal, here's the skinny:

1. You'e guessing the opening weekend gross (Thursday through Sunday, December 19th to December 22nd) of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, in the U.S. only.
2. Your guess should be rendered in whole-numbered millions only. So $100m is okay, so is $101m, so is $247m--but you can't guess any further digits (i.e., $100,500,700) and you can't guess halves or cents (so $105.5m is a no-go).
3. We're going to wait until final numbers come out after the end of the weekend--quite frequently, there will be an estimate put out on Sunday morning, but we're going to wait for the final numbers (people never fucking understand this, you fucking idiots), which usually come late Monday/early Tuesday.
4. We're going to be using numbers from boxofficemojo.com
5. There are no prizes; you just get to gloat and know that you are better than anyone else.
6. Please submit your guesses by Wednesday, December 18th at 8:00PM EST.

Previous Champions:
2018 - Sarge was closest by a long shot due to Solo's worse-than-expected Box office reception, only about $5.5m off the total ($84.4m) (thread)
2017 - durdencommatyler was closest ever, less than $1m off The Last Jedi's total ($220m) (post)
2016 - daft twat was closest at around $8m from Rogue One's total (which was $155m) (post)
2015 - zeb was only $2m off with his guess for Episode VII's opening gross (which was $247m) (post)

Here are some openeing weekend totals as guides:

I'm not ready to make my official guess just yet. But right now I'm thinking all of you are guessing too high.

Nah. They're too low. It's the last one, remember? Look at what Endgame did.

Oh it won't do as well as Endgame, but the promise of it being the last Skywalker film will drag more than a few trolls out from under their bridges.
