It was THE 3D event of the century so far. That's an insane amount of hype for even Cameron to have to top. Phenomenons cannot be predicted, they can only be speculated correctly. Avatar's success was a perfect storm of many factors, a perfect storm that cannot and will not be replicated. And before anyone calls me a SW fan(which I am, but that's irrelevant to my point), I am predicting Episode 8 to fall noticeably from the phenomenon that is Episode 7, no matter how good it is. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Even if EP8 is the best Star Wars movie ever and has a 99 RT rating it will fall 20-30% from TFA's domestic total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to episodes 4 and 5 and, as far as sequels are concerned, it doesn't get any better than The Empire Strikes Back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the bar for a phenomenon that has the name Star Wars attached to it has been raised precipitously. 700 would be to the SW franchise what 450 has become to the Avengers or Batman franchises. Yes, if SW8 makes less than 750m, the word "flop" will be thrown around on here like it is going out of style. It will be quite amusing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlashMaster659 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hey I just thought of something. Since it's 2016 now, doesn't that mean ticket prices have risen (inflation)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
