jse Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The sky is the limit for Marvel now. This whole release strategy may be the most brilliant and lucrative endeavor in film history. It's unprecedented. Looks like that's what Disney wantsesss it for their brand spanking new Star Wars franchise as well. Pixar's doing it! Marvel's doing it! They're thinking why not LucasFilm.. I'm hopeful for this strategy actually. Crossing fingers it's well executed, with character-driven solo SW films after SW7 that culminates into SW8 just like Marvel with Avengers. Wishing Kathleen Kennedy all the luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossing fingers it's well executed, with character-driven solo SW films after SW7 that culminates into SW8 just like Marvel with Avengers. Wishing Kathleen Kennedy all the luck! I think SW may not work that way. As it was first introduced in 1977, the story already revolves around Luke, Han & Leia with Obi Wan and the goofy robots along for the ride. The individual characters of THE AVENGERS have their own story outside the Avengers storyline, some way before. Cap'n America appeared some 20 years before THE AVENGERS. And it is the "worth of a ticket" argument. Audience knows full well SW is a full package. They will not buy ticket to a Han Solo Jr movie, a Luke Jr movie, a Chewbacca movie when they know they should get 3-in-1. It is the Wallmart culture. Whereas Iron Man, Cap'n & Thor even Hulk have their own separate fan bases. Then again, who the hell am I? Disney can sell anything anyway they want.

zackzack Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) I remember TA did $447 million OS in the 2nd weekend. IM3 clearly outgrosses TA by a pretty good margin. It even outgrosses TA WW figure by almost $40 million. This should be a nice surprise for Disney. Edited May 5, 2013 by zackzack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
