I thought it would be a lot more based on the sellouts people were reporting. It shattered the previous midnight record by 31%, it more than doubled AoU so I'm not sure what were you expecting. 65, 70M? 57M+ is already inside top 20 all-time days. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLLLLLL I like calling expendables trashdom as well, is it sexist BECAUSE most men like it? Its about quality not who watches it. this is again where you miss the entire point. Let people chose what they want rather than apply positions just because either sex doesnt watch one set of movies over another. You say Women do like star wars, well where is the crowd then. It does NOT matter if women like it more or men like it more. Both sexes like some movies more than others. both sexes like some movies equally. Why does it matter in the end if men dont like one set of movies or women dont like one set of movies. Just watch the freaking movies! Enjoy. And stop the labels made up for Social Justice Warrior into every topic Edited December 18, 2015 by hasanahmad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I'll defend Twilight anytime anywhere. It's not trashy at all. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's trashy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said above, the sellout and presales reports suggested a much higher total. At least 10 - 20M more seemed to be the target. That should teach me not to base anything on predictions here.

Lordmandeep Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I think we forget that it is true sw is a male focused franchise However it's popularity among males is so wide and intense.... It makes the appeal towards female of Twilight and thg rather small in comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To expect a film to make 75 million dollars in previews is kind of silly, and that's me being polite. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Honestly, I feel that TFA previews being highly male skewed is a good thing. If we remember back to the tracking reports that were posted...this was tracking only slightly higher for males then females ( it feels so odd to say male and female LOL). What this means is that the female fans haven't even showed up in full force yet...and what happens when female fans show up? They bring families, children, dates, girlfriends.... It's scary what's going to happen when they do 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tele's sellout count showed roughly doubling of AoU/TDKR and same with Spizzer. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 There's a post on reddit with 200 upvotes about how the person thinks this could get 100m today not including the previews for an OD of 150+m. Please someone kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochofles Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Whether you find a film trashy or not is not the point. What riles me up is calling their fandom "trashdom." You are going from attacking a film to attacking people for liking that film, which is incredibly pretentious. The funny thing is that no matter how cool Star Wars fans like to think they are, lots of people still consider them "poor, pathetic nerds." Whether you like SW or Twilight, more power to nerds, geeks, and dorks everywhere. We should be defending each other, not bashing and dumping on each other, youknow? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Damn, that's a massive number. I think when Friday is all said and done it'll do about $112 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it came out in mid-July like TDK/DH2 with all high school and college kids out of school, it might have hit $70m in previews. As it stands we are looking at incredible preview number with a bit more backloading over the coming holidays at Christmas and New Year's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
