He makes that statebbcment as if a 20% drop is the worst case scenario. Pretty messed up since that number is more like the best case scenario.

Yeah, pretty dumb statement from an analyst. 30-35M is what I see which is fantastic for RO.

Might be a bit more (see also soundtracks, bread-boxes or however those are called, T-Shirts, advertising-use,...)

 

If I understand the sources... correctly = that covers dom only (maybe including the in the US producing companies of toys too)

 

Thank you a lot, I'll read the other link later

I love those numbers. SW T-Shirts got to be making a killing too.

You're welcome! The numbers should be for US toy sales only.

However the Monday is a holiday.

Here is 25 26 and 27th are holidays.

Last year the 24 December, a 1/2 public holiday (companies close midday, if open at all) was a Thursday

25 Friday = public holiday

26 Saturday = public holiday

27 Sunday = not a public holiday here

28-30 workdays Mon-Wed.

31 Thursday = 1/2 public, closed companies midday (if open at all)

1. Jan = Friday = public holiday

2. Saturday, theoretically a workday for people working in stores, but based in the closed days a lot of people took those 2 weeks as holidays with only a few needed vacation days

This year far less people will have time for skiing,... cinemas, as less will take a vacaion (beside the school holidays)

edit, clicked and lost text:

 

thanks   for the 27 December hint, will change obviously the BO

WAIT A MINUTE.

 

I've got a serious question.

 

"Lock S-foils in attack position". Its a classic line, we all remember it. But...

 

They don't use our alphabet. We've seen characters typing stuff and computer read-outs, and isn't their written language almost a hieroglyphics kinda deal? Why the hell would they call them "S-foils" when they probably don't even have a letter "S" that looks like our "S".

 

I demand an explanation.

Why are there X-Wings? A-Wings? B-Wings? Because it's Star Wars goddammit.

So, the only aspect of our language they share is their description of flying vehicle wing schematics?

 

I'm ok with that.

Thanks! 

 

The only ones who's box office I've seen compared here are FB and Minions. I don't recall anyone comparing the drop offs or (increases) for any of those others especially Wolverine. But I digress.

Man, I guess. I keep on seeing a $5 billion worldwide figure thrown around. 

[WrathOfHan]

Going to watch ANH and TFA back to back right now.

 

edit: Forgot I have a haircut at 3. Won't have time for TFA

TFA failed by not canonizing the E-Wing, K-Wing, or V-Wing.

 

At least Rebels is bringing in the TIE Defender, albeit 8ish years too early.
