I saw one clip of JGL as the Frenchman. It could be 5D where someone comes out of the screen to suck my dick, and there's still NO WAY I'm sitting through those two hours. Nope. I'll take your word for it.

 

Yumma.

Back from my 5th viewing of SW7. It gets better each time!!!!!

Has Rth forsaken us? Has he finally realized we are unworthy ?

I'm fairly certain that The Force Awakens' box office run will remain unmatched by any further Star Wars movies, unless they stop making them again and the same thing happens sometimes in 30 years. Here's why:

 

- We will get 1 Star Wars movie each year from now on. I don't think such a frequency of movies can hit the right strings again for such a box office run. Huge numbers, sure, but not TFA-level. See: Marvel Cinematic Universe.

- This movie's hype was unreal, and further enhanced by the original cast returning for the first time since 1983. That's not something the next movies can easily replicate. A "perfect storm of factors" of some sort.

- Although it was technically a sequel, it felt more like a reboot, and thus, could be watched by anyone. I have a feeling that the upcoming movies will have "required viewings" prior to them, which reduce box office intakes (generally).

Rey, I just love her.

I'm going crazy again

 

Need to take a car in for emissions tomorrow that's near my childhood movie theater where I saw all of the prequels and most movies from the late 1990s to 2007 and then again 2012 to 2014 (moved back to the area then away again Downtown). So I'm seeing TFA in their Regal RPX theater.

 

Saturday I'm seeing it at 12:20 IMAX for my final promotional ticket from Regal IMAX. But my girlfriend's mom wants to see it that day too so I'm seeing it at Cinetopia's GXL theater at 6 the same day. And I'm seeing it Monday in Los Angeles at the TCL Chinese.

 

Thats 16 viewings by the end of Monday!

I guess it all comes down to the 'finale effect' IX will have. If it has some really CRAZY stuff going on then I could see it matching TFA.

By the way, even if it doesn't beat TFA domestically, IX has like 85% chances to beat it WW.

I could see it if it was incredibly well-received, like Return of the King for example. An incredible finale, which warrants epic box office receipts.

 

With Colin Trevorrow at the helm though, I think that's highly unlikely. You never know though! Also, Episode IX will not be the last episode, and that ought to piss off some people who just want a proper finale for once.

Relax.

 

It's midweek and there isn't any widespread vacation to make things interesting.

 

He provides the numbers as a privilege to us, really. People need to stop assuming they're something we're entitled to.

Well, after Episode IX, I am both hoping and expecting that Star Wars is done with the whole Skywalker deal, and the events going on in the next trilogy take place like 1000 years later or something between those lines. The possibilities are endless. So in a way, it could be a proper finale.

Ok I have to ask what the hell is "the 808"? I don't get it...
