Disney's cable networks are their biggest profit generators by far. Don't think it has anything to do with SW. They make the most from their cable networks then theme parks then film. There is this tendency in markets to "sell the news" the day a big catalyst like SW7 opens due to all the biggest expectations being priced in. Has a lot to do w/ cable cutting and less people watching ESPN/ABC than in recent quarters/years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean too much with that east coast snowstorm & a 10x multiplier lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I wouldn't use DH2 as a comparison for anything other than the preview numbers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmBuff Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Think about this. This movie will gross more in one day then 90 percent of movies that came out the last year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were never numbers for previews. Nikki surely didn't give them nor did Rth. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) So I heard that a few bars had bought tickets for some showings and had buses going to some of the theaters last nigh.

Dark 33Legend of the Sith Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Quick side question to someone that can help me. On the previous website template, there was a feature that you could click to get to the spot where you left off. I think it was unread content? Does this template have that? I haven't found it yet. I'm sure its a simple answer. If someone could let me know-greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true on time of year, but I think the fanbases are decently comparable. I mean, sure, Star Wars fans are different from Trekkies (though there were a few folks dressed up like Trekkies last night. And there were a *bunch* of people dressed up in animal costumes. I was unsure what was going there. Maybe a furry convention in town?) and they're both different from Harry Potter fans, but they're similar enough to be comparable.

Ash Skywalker Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Very good number. 4 years of record broken. DH2 carried it very well,still it'll be the highest gross for true midnight previews, Love ya Potter. Records are meant to be broken in the same way records are bound to happen with STAR WARS. Now the Highest OW is ahead,let's do it! STAR WARS THE POWAA.. UNLIMITED POWAAA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
