Doesn't mean anything really breh. It will be the third star wars movie in 17 months. It wont feel as special or be as much of an event.

They are going to run the risk of diluting the franchise.

Of course the episodes are going to do huge business there just wont be as much of a frenzy.

This was the first star wars movie of the social media era and it even had basic bytches who have probably never seen a star wars movie rushing to go see it and posting about it

That's true. That was always my concern when the franchise is now a part of Disney.

Something seems muddled about that title, Avatar did 2.788 bill while TFA currently stands at 1.331bill as I type this. Are we to believe in 2 days TFA will accumulate Another billion and 458 mill? :why:
That's DOMESTIC only. Not worldwide.

Those numbers in the short of a time are insane.

Breh that's the thing that's crazy about it. The flick hasn't even been out for a month yet. Not even close to a month. By the time it's out for a full month, who knows how large that total is going to be. There's really no stiff competition for it until February.

I feel like its all gravy at this point man. Like how can you be disappointed that you don't have the highest grossing film of all time? It's already broken records, already made its production costs back tenfold, and they barely had to spend a penny marketing it because everyone wanted to partner with them...i used google maps yesterday and my car was an x-wing breh:russ: they got google to advertise for them through google fukkin maps. And that's just one tendril of their reach for this shyt. And that's money that goes to them. Google, HP, whomever else they got, all of their ad partners paid them to advertise the movie, which is the greatest hustle in the world if you can pull it off. It costs 200 million to produce and lets say another 50-100 million to advertise..they made that back in 5 days.

because it's the first real starwars flick in 30 years made in an era of inflation and 3D. As said many times the sequels aren't going to be the behemoth event this was so if SW can't touch avatar what can?
