THE FORCE AWAKENS has officially passed DARK KNIGHT RISES in Thursday night sellouts. Very good. Tack on twice as many showtimes and something like $60m seems possible. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Finally got our tickets - we are dependent on Babysitters in order to make such plans, but Imax on Saturday done! We have a theater in the OKC area that does reserved seating (AMC) but literally tried to find a show all weekend and couldn't find 2 seats together - never saw that before even with big openers like AOU and JW 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 2 seats off centre, 2 rows from the back at Sydney IMAX. Fantastic seats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeCee Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) It beat the previous opening day record in New Zealand by 50%. The previous record holder, The Avengers, was also on a public holiday. Smashed the New Zealand opening day record. The new Star Wars movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, has smashed New Zealand opening day box office records, taking in $1,567m in day one ticket sales. Star Wars' New Zealand distributor, Sony Pictures, revealed the figures on Friday, saying they had smashed the previous record, set by The Avengers, which opened on April 25 2012, and collected $1,020m on its first day in cinemas. The Force Awakens was quick on to Kiwi screens, premiering in Los Angeles on December 14 (December 15 New Zealand time), holding its Kiwi premiere on Wednesday December 16, and then opening that night in screens across the country with midnight viewings for the most dedicated fans. It opened at 104 locations, on 203 screens - and there were 66 midnight screenings available. http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/film/75256323/star-wars-the-force-awakens-sets-new-kiwi-box-office-record Edited December 17, 2015 by DeeCee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this were a sitcom, I would tell you to hire an out of work actor to go to work playing the role of you, while you go to the movies. But then hijinks would ensue, and somehow the actor would go to the movie and you would end up at work. Still might be worth a shot.

Nahh if this were a sitcom...I would fake a sickness to watch this with my gorgeous finance who is dressing as Leia in Empure Strikes Back as we speak... However, I would then run into my boss and/or coworker at the movie theater which makes me hide myself...hijinks would ensue... Hmm on second thought... maybe I should try? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
