They watched it on their phones while they stood in line for Star Wars. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football would have rather been watching TFA. As I said in the VIII thread... Disney could own Christmas if they keep this release date for all SW movies 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B J Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Final Sunday Tally Sold Out: 29 (28 confirmed one that was at 90% the last time I checked it about 10 minutes before the showing started) Showings: 79 (two added showings, 7 less than Saturday and 2 or 3 less than Friday) Two more sellouts than Saturday, but 7 less showings, overall the performance seemed on par with showings that were 65%-80% full yesterday getting 85%+ today. Though it was as strong from 9am-8pm(a little stronger between noon-5pm) it was noticeably weaker after 9pm with showings dropping to around 50%-70% full. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 My thing with this is that, yes December is a different animal when it comes to the boxoffice but we have a fairly well established pattern for large openers (particularly record breakers) as witnessed by DMC, SM3, TDK, TA and JW. We talk all the time about following the pattern so why would we expect this to do any differently? As it is now obvious the pattern held up even in December.

Disney could own Christmas if they keep this release date for all SW movies It would get tiring every year though. SW will not maintain this popularity as an annual franchise, that's impossible. That's why I'm hoping VIII is actually moved to December 2018. A nice two year cool down after the back to back TFA/Rogue One punches is something I think will frankly be needed.

Try posting that statement here a year ago and you may have been perma-banned for sheer lunacy. Theres a MJ2 #1 for 2015 club buried around here somewhere. I remember it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orestes Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 It's almost too bad AoU couldn't eke out a small OW increase between TA1 and what JW ended up getting. Could've had a repeat of '89, on a larger scale of course. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vc2002 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 What's up with the TDK quote in the title? Come on this is Star Wars the king of all franchises and there are tons of quotes we could use for a title. We dont need quotes from other movies. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about the main storyline every 2 years with the spin-offs every other year. It would become a tradition.
