ALL seats are $5.00 on Tuesdays (including 3D & D-BOX) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it when the art snob are forced to admit a movie they normally would dismiss has to be acknowledged. I didn't realize GWTW came back and took the crown in 1971. 32 years after its release.... 12 hours ago, stripe said: LOL at Gitesh underlining 12.5 days. As if with that statement the record is less impressive! Sorry Gitesh, for posterity it will be said SW7 broke the record in 12 days. Not to mention that 5 hours is not half a day.

GirafficPark Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 So HF will be the highest grossing actor in the US ever sometime tomorrow probably. I had to look at the worldwide figures, which arent adjusted of course. I was shocked that 1st was SLJ still, but 2nd is Sir Ian Mckellen, and 3rd, unless I missed someone, is Stellen Skarsgard!! Franchise power right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabrecmc Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I am hugely thankful to George for creating this universe, and I don't hate the prequels or anything, but honestly, he needs to just hush now. He sounds bitter that this movie was made to be something that fans would enjoy. Oh my! A crowd-pleasing film??? Say it ain't so. It just reeks of being butthurt that the prequels are not as well-liked as this one by a lot of people (or so it would seem). This movie's box office is still just absolutely amazing to me. I'd hoped it would do well, but it has blown past every single hope/wish/expectation that I had. I've seen it 4 times and it gets better and better, I swear. And everyone I know who has seen it seems to want to see it again (or again and again). My 67 year old dad enjoyed it, and he NEVER goes to the movies, let alone spends time on the phone talking to his friends about how entertaining a movie was. My 3 year old nephew wanted a BB-8 for Christmas. My daughter has a Rey costume and wants to be her for Halloween. We got a friend's little girl a set of these shopkins things for Christmas and my friend texted me that she took them back to the store, but knew I wouldn't be upset b/c the little girl exchanged them for a Kylo Ren sleeping bag. Tumblr is full of Star Wars in a way it never has been before. This thing just reaches so many sets of people. Astounding. Seeing it again on New Year's. Gotta ring in 2016 the right way. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Very glad to see that TFA's Monday and Tuesday numbers have injected some life back into this place. The forum momentum kinda felt like it stalled last weekend (ridiculously, considering what TFA did). Hopefully we get another great hold today until we all start panicking tomorrow. I feel like we can chalk some of that "stalling" up to the holiday weekend. Big reason I wasn't around much. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
