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? Twilight fans aren't nerds. They'll have to fend for themselves. Edited December 18, 2015 by grey ghost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sold out everywhere for reserved, trust me. When I bought my tickets a few weeks/months ago, I was looking for reserved seating. All reserved seating, every show, in the LA area, was sold out for Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, all the shows were either sold out, or had a few super shitty seats, which are basically considered sold out. This was a few months ago, trust me, it's all sold out! I was lucky enough to find decent seats for a Sunday evening showing with reserved seats, very excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 If this hits 70m or so, is it remotely possible for it to break the OW record in 2 days? Seems like it would have to make a pretty big jump on Saturday from Friday minus previews. 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. C'mon Baumer, it's only 57 m from previews. I think we all know a flop when we see one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Harris Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I was at the 7-movie marathon yesterday, and was surprised to see how many women were there. I didn't take a formal poll, but my eyeballs told me it was maybe 40% women. That may sound low, but for a 19-hour marathon, which should draw in only the die-hardest of the die-hards, that seems like a pretty high number. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

water Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 4 minutes ago, Spidey Freak said: Of course women are going to watch it. But most women fans of SW fall in the casual or new fanbase who are less likely to rush for opening night is all. LMAO at the trolling insinuating the franchise is sexist because of opening night audience breakdown or that women are sexist for not watching it ASAP. no one said the franchise is sexist. in fact i said the very opposite, that TFA is obviously very strong with female characters. i said that nerdy fandoms in general are sexist. which you're proving by saying that most female fans are "casual" or "new". nope. they're just as hardcore and have been around for just as long, but when they're told from a young age "it's for boys" less of them will end up staying around. like i said before, hopefully when we get the stats for the whole OW the split is closer to 50/50.

Biggestgeekever Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Sellouts, in Seattle at least, certainly feel more like a Saturday. Sizable sellouts for shows before 5. Also, I recall tracking Avengers and Hunger Games and sellouts not really taking off until 6pm when people got off work, but that's already happening for the evening showings. I'm not going to do something foolish and predict something, but I've got a very good feeling about this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
