CJohn Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 George knows that what most want to see is ROTS and the original trilogy. He will not stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkshop36 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Agreed. This was the guinea pig. With this one doing okay, then it paves the way for the other 5 to do even better.We still have to get passed AOTC. That will not do better thanTPM. I think they're both equally disliked by fans.Still, it's a decent enough number to justify doing the next one. I think Lucasfilm might want to consider not opening it on a weekend with 3 other new movies coming out as well though; especially one with a strong family freindly eppeal.

CJohn Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 AotC is more disliked then TPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Next time, I would go for a September opening in the beginning of the month. Maybe on the Laboy Day weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowhite Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 AotC is more disliked then TPM.Yes, it is.Though I don't agree with that one...TPM is the only of the Star Wars I actively dislike. I'll take bad Hayden acting over that horrible kid's story. I actually like AOTC, I think it's kinda fun, even if severly flawed. But heck, all the prequels are flawed...ROTS is the best, but it's still majorly flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 How is 23 million disappointing for a film that already made 924 million ww prior to this.A New Hope's re-release opened to 35 million 15 years ago.Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkshop36 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 A New Hope's re-release opened to 35 million 15 years ago.Just saying.And just like then, it will probably be the highest grossing this time around as well.I actually like AOTC more than TPM. The only parts I dislike are the scenes with Padme and Anikin in the middle of the movie. Otherwise, I quite enjoy it. Besides, I think it will be fun to see Yoda jumping around in 3D.

cookie Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) A New Hope's re-release opened to 35 million 15 years ago.Just saying.ANH's re-release adjusts to 235m! That's more than what most tentpoles do today. Edited February 12, 2012 by C00k13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more than what most tentpoles do today.Yeah, that re-release was amazing.I don't think any Star Wars rerelease is going to do that well again, no matter how they lined it up though.

PDC1987 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) It's still making more than it deserves to.According to who? You?Who are you to decide what a movie desrves to make? A film deserves to gross whatever moviegoers decide to spend on it.And I'm sorry 'The Artist' can't stand up to the brilliant artistry of the 'Transformers' films.

There was no BR and they were being re-released because the new trilogy was coming out in two years. TPM has none of that going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A film deserves to gross whatever moviegoers decide to spend on it.Andf I'm sorry The Artst can't stand up to the brilliant artiststry of the Transformers films. Yes, of course according to me. Do you think I'm speaking for others?And guess what? The audience's are speaking and they seem to agree with me. Its not breaking out because the majority of people see it as nothing more than a gimmick. The Artist is garbage. It's not a film. It's missing all the elements, imo, that make a film a film. And yes, Transformers is 1000X the film that The Artist is. It's a gimmick and nothing more. It's the pet rock of the film world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if TPM can do 23 mill in 2012 and ANH doesn't come out until say 2015, I think it's safe to say that it will do at least 35 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
