DAJK Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 So you guys have to remember that I live in a smaller town (I think around 40 000 people give or take) so we don't have a lot of movie's selling out and lines rarely stretch longer than our parking lot. That being said, yesterday, we had people lining up for the 7:00 Star Wars yesterday at noon, then get mad at my manager when he showed up at box office that he didn't open the doors so they could use the washroom. I got there at 5:30, 90 minutes before it started, and there were already like 130 people all dressed up, who were all yelling and cheering at me when I showed up. I felt so cool cause I was "official" I got them all together for a group photo, then I had to use my "big boy voice" to tell them they cant rush in all at once when doors open and they can't ignite lightsabers during the movie. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rman823 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 So how will Rogue One do a year from now. Could it get at least a $150-175 million weekend ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatebox Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 So my prediction that this film would be rather big came to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ-8 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 If the 130m+ OD holds u gotta think that 250m - 300m ow is in play here. Never thought I'd get to write that. Love it! Go Star Wars! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think these results will embolden studios to not shy away from opening big franchise/tentpole movies in December. Yeah, the move to December is going to of off big time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very compelling question. I think given the goodwill here, $125M+ OW DOM is the floor. Should start marketing it soon, no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 won't be surprised if Episode 8 moves to December 2017 so they can keep GOTG 2 where it is 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonePirate Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I feel badly for the accountants at Disney. They will be working some crazy overtime to pull every accounting trick in the galaxy to show how this film is still $300M in the red and somehow convince the IRS auditors that it is true. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildphantom Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Man they weren't joking with the title of the film. A metaphor for the euphoria of Star Wars returning to the throne of pop culture. It was always there really, but it's being underlined definitively this weekend with this glorious new chapter. THE FORCE HAS AWOKEN. IT'S SHUT DOWN THAT DINOSAUR THEME PARK. In fact, it's probably sold out right now in the IMAX theatre in Jurassic World.
