He could've easily still retained the rights to SW but allow JJ and the writers to steer the franchise into something separate from the PT. I mean, just because he has the rights doesn't mean that he cannot allow anyone else to build this new chapater of the SW saga. Not that he needs the money or anything, but couldn't he just let JJ do their thing while still owning the property? I am not saying, "OMG, why did George Lucas abandonus??"; I am just curious about his selling the property. Would it be such hard work for him just to sit back and rake in the more money while JJ did the heavy lifting? I have no idea, I'm just thankful he did sell the rights.

Otherwise it was pretty awesome, brighter than their old projector. I might have to do this in both. I found it a lot better than the Martian, because at least when I saw it , it wasn't optimized for IMAX. The sound system sounded better than The Martian and Ant-Man, but that probably was the mix. Sound is definitely a lot more balanced at Udvar, but it doesn't have the same oomph as at Lockheed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 AOTC dropped for more than a single reason: Nowhere to go but down Not ideal reception from TPM Not ideal reception for itself Competition from SM1 Why are folks insistent on there being a sole correct factor? Reality rarely works like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure speculation but it was likely a combo of: 1) wanting to retire; 2) Disney offering 4 BILLION dollars; 3) Disney wanting to make sure that they had full creative control over where the franchise went in the future.

How the fuck is this in any way, a disrespect to the Old Trilogy?? I love Kal, but a lot of his posts make no sense.

MattW Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Normal business hours Friday looks almost exactly the same as jurassic world. Could even be less depending on which way the Thursday preview estimate actually went which we'll never know. $230m is not guaranteed.

spizzer Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 So 63.5M Friday. Tied with JW's Friday record for now. 240-250M weekend barring massive Saturday jump (which is feasible, given earlier Thursday previews tend to deflate Friday a little bit).
