If that's true than we have 65-75M in presales still to be covered and presales are still occurring. The largest proportion of that should be for the next 3 days + Christmas.

Lordmandeep Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) 10 am and 1030 am avx shows went for 50 to 80% full as of now and all the afternoon showings will be similar it seems. Here at least day business + night will be gigantic. Edited December 18, 2015 by Lordmandeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantCALBears Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 3 minutes ago, TimmyRiggins said: The thing about seeing it multiple times the same day, or the day after, or like seeing it every day for a week, is like I said: you don't get time to think about it, to digest it, to know completely how you feel about it, to process it, to let it stew and even yearn for it, miss it to the point where you NEED to see it again to remember those things you forgot about it. There is an instant gratification problem the Internet/social media has contributed to. Fanatics will always be fanatics but letting something digest is for me a better way to be objective & enjoy a film you really think is great. Careful though, you don't want to offend those going to see it 10 times today lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we have $130m total pre-sales, then we still have another $90m of pre-sales left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 My mind is still trying to wrap around the fact that 10 years ago this preview # would have been the OD record..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The largest proportion of that should be for the next 3 days + Christmas. CBSNews said $139M in pre-sales - note that they extend into 2016. Fandango reported yesterday that they have already sold more tickets for TFA than for the entire run of any other movie (ie they have sold more pre-sale tickets to TFA than the entire run of tickets sold for JW). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Random example of why seeing something on opening night is so cool (Thursdays are the real opening nights, imo). We got there about 40 minutes early, just in case there was anything interesting going on, and Wrathette #1 was in full costume (conveniently, she was Obi Wan for Halloween because there was no way she was going to wear the Ahsoka costume). In front of the theater there was a guy with some really cool light sabers, and he was sparring with anyone who came along and was interested (they were really good light sabers, cool looking and sturdy enough for real sparring). Turns out he's offering classes at one of the local martial arts places incorporating light saber dueling into a fitness and martial arts program (the guy was doing a lot of teaching during the sparring and mixed in some capoeria). Both Wrathettes were fascinated and took turns with the guy. As it happened, while Wrathette #1 (in costume) was sparring with the guy, a photographer asked if he could take her picture for the paper. We said sure. Then after we saw the movie, a TV crew came up to us and asked her if she was interested in being interviewed on her reaction to the movie. She's actually kinda shy, plus it was already 10 pm on a school night and we'd have to stick around for at least another 20 minutes before her time slot came up, so she passed. Then, this morning, the big picture above the fold on the front page was her, fighting the guy with a caption that read "The Force is strong with this one." She wants us to frame it. If she'd done the interview, she'd pretty much be the face of Star Wars in our town. As a bonus, there were a couple middle school kids, one with a clarinet, one with a tuba, I think, playing the various songs from Star Wars (not very well I must say, but they kept at it and raked in a lot of cash) so they even had theme music for the whole thing. And that's why going to opening night is fun. You never know what'll happen. Edited December 18, 2015 by Wrath 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has a very good chance to do more. 65m is possible with the amount of demand throughout the day. Anything above that would be insanity, not that 65m day business isn't already insane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
