Michael Gary Scott Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 So Star Wars Episode 7 is officially the new Hobbit? When can we expect the over 1.8B WW club?Whenever I can make it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 $50 million is right around the corner. Depending on how many theaters it loses this weekend it might even make it by Tuesday or Wednesday, but definitely by the end of May. I've just been impressed with its holds the past two weeks. Things didn't look good after that 2nd weekend but it's rebounded quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) 3D showtimes have diminished at my theater. It's a 14 screen, but on the 24th Trek will 1 2D/ 1 3D screen, Epic will only have 2 3D showtimes versus 9 2D, Gatsby has 1 3D showtime vs 4 2D and IM3 has 1 3D vs 5 2D. I think my theater is catching on. And whats amazing is this is when the two biggest movies of the weekend wont be 3D, meaning there more available 3D times, but my theater is holding back.

CJohn Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'd REALLY like the see what'd happen if Star Wars flopped. If it does 1.5B WW it will be considered a flop so you must likely will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) Sci-fi movies like Star Wars /Transformers trend to do better in Asia Pacific while fantasy movies like Harry Potter / LOTR trend to do better in Europe. The market volume of AP was much smaller than EMEA in 2005. That's why SW 1/2/3 movies didnt match that of HP/LOTR. Market volume (box office in US$) in 2005: EMEA 7.6B AP 5.6B in 2011: EMEA 10.8B AP 9.0B in 2012: EMEA 10.7B AP 10.4B Projected in 2015: EMEA 11.2B +47% from 2005 AP 14.0B +150% Edited May 22, 2013 by firedeep 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 22, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted May 22, 2013 Seriously though, what minimum are you guys expecting for SW7? Considering it'll be 2015, I have to think that $400m domestic will be the ultimate litmus test for a franchise this big in 3D with the Disney brand behind it.

Gopher Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Seriously though, what minimum are you guys expecting for SW7? Attack of the Clones adjusted for a 40% 3D share and and 13 years of inflation would probably equate to something in the low 500s. That's a reasonable prediction in my eyes. It could go lower but that's what I'm predicting. If it's great or a lot better than the prequels, then TA2 is toast and all bets are off for 600m+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
