The new Star Wars movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, has smashed New Zealand opening day box office records, taking in $1,567m in day one ticket sales. Star Wars' New Zealand distributor, Sony Pictures, revealed the figures on Friday, saying they had smashed the previous record, set by The Avengers, which opened on April 25 2012, and collected $1,020m on its first day in cinemas. The Force Awakens was quick on to Kiwi screens, premiering in Los Angeles on December 14 (December 15 New Zealand time), holding its Kiwi premiere on Wednesday December 16, and then opening that night in screens across the country with midnight viewings for the most dedicated fans. It opened at 104 locations, on 203 screens - and there were 66 midnight screenings available. http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/film/75256323/star-wars-the-force-awakens-sets-new-kiwi-box-office-record 9 minutes ago, Emperor Jajang said: Australian OD (RTH) is 9.4m AUD. in USD it will be 2nd to only potter who enjoyed a much better exchange rate. It's on 937 screens out of a total 2080 screens in Australia. It even bettered potters average (OD previous holder) It is now expected to eclipse 20m on OW easily (new record also taken from potter). 25m+ is on the table here. On legs it's going to be interesting as typically we at least a 3x multiplier from OW. often higher. This puts Star Wars earning at least 70m without taking the Christmas holidays into consideration. (That #2 all time already if we get there. ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk A very good omen for the US In local currency in Australia it's +30% over DH2's previous record!!!!!

MovieMan89 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I had the most buzz killing trailers ever at the screening. It was 13 Hours, Angry Birds, Gods of Egypt, The Finest Hours, The Jungle Book, KFP3, and Kubo and the Two Strings (poor thing got booed to the far depths of hell by that point). Everyone just wanted the movie to start. Literally none of the massive batch of new blockbuster trailers people might actually care about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and kid... neither who were interested in seeing BvS... changed their minds after the trailer. Wonder Woman pulled in my wife... my Marvel fanboy kid... maybe he is hitting puberty. Civil War was beautiful in IMAX. Mod Note... this is not an invitation to start a Marvel vs. DC discussion 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJG Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 We got Alvin and the Chipmunks, Xmen, KungFu Panda, Zootopia, BVS, and a long trailer for one of those "Free to Play" mobile games featuring Christoph Waltz and international sell out James Corden. Zootopia got the biggest and best reaction. James Corden got people shouting at the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somebody85 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) And only Deadpool got any cheers lol. So people must be looking forward to that. KFP3 had a lot of laughs. No reaction to Batman v Superman or Civil War and they did play back to back. Edited December 18, 2015 by somebody85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAtGender Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Okay, this is my final update for the Friday showtime and sellouts in the Seattle area. 158 Sellouts 723 Showtimes MASSIVE uptick in showtimes, as a number of locations that apparently decided not to list things at the last minute. Also, the Lakewood Mall theater has come out on top of as the king of showings. Despite just 12 screens, it's got 55 showtimes throughout the day. (This after 36 preview shows, also best in the region.) It's also got an extremely healthy sellout count that will probably only go up, but I'm not going to do rolling checks. I need to see it myself in about 12 hours. Also, while I was doing the tally, I found out a theater that I thought was closed for renovations had just opened this weekend. I checked and it did have showtimes on Thursday, so I added those back in. (I don't think there were any sellouts.) So that brings the final preview count (mostly done by smerfy01) to: 232 sellouts, 407 showtimes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
