I don't know why people think its out the realm of possibility that BvsS can and will outdo this new Star Wars movie in terms of box office gross. BvS def. imo appeals to more to a diverse group of people than Star Wars do. I still nikkaz that don't watch this shyt because its the nerdy white movies. Plus, you add in the stench of the prequels, the release date in December, and Stars Wars (the last decade) not being that engraved in pop culture like Batman is. The possibility is really real imo.

'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Shatters Ticket Sales Records

The force is strong with the upcoming “Star Wars” sequel.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has established a new record, bypassing “The Hunger Games” to move the most tickets in its first day on sale, Fandango reports. It didn’t just surpass that picture, it shattered its benchmark, outselling “The Hunger Games” eight times over. Traffic to the online ticketer’s site surged to seven times more than its peak level in less than 24 hours.

“This is an extraordinary time for the industry, which experienced unprecedented ticketing demand last night for ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens,'” Fandango said in a statement. “The enthusiasm for this year’s most anticipated movie is out of this world and we expect it to continue all the way to its debut on Dec. 18.”

There are already sellouts, particularly in Imax screenings, and to meet the demand, movie theaters are continually adding show times, the online ticketer reports. “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” presales also broke every Imax record, generating over $6.5 million. The film eclipsed “The Dark Knight Rises,” “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” and “Avengers,” which each earned around $1 million for their first reported presales.

MovieTickets.com did not release any data, but “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is the top-selling film on its site. It represents 95% of sales over the past 24 hours. Interest in the film was so intense that both MovieTickets.com and Fandango reportedly crashed for some users.

The first full-length trailer for the film debuted on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” game between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles. It appeared in conjunction with tickets going on sale. That footage has been viewed nearly 12 million times on the official “Star Wars” YouTube channel.

The film is intended to kick off another trilogy of pictures and brings back cast members from the first film, such as Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, along with new stars Adam Driver, John Boyega and Daisy Ridley. J.J. Abrams directs the film. There are also planned spin-offs and origin stories expected to debut in the coming years, as Disney and Lucasfilm hope to embrace the Marvel model of building a cinematic universe.

for the record although I think this movie will make boat loads of money, I'm not sure if we should be reading too much into the pre-orders.

obviously the hardcore fans have come out the wood works. doesn't mean the casual audience will follow suit.

avatar made more money than god and it's not like that movie had this kind of hype.

but yes, I think this will be the number one movie of the year.

Are any of these sith lords dope?

Caption says "from left to right: Darth Andeddu, Darth Revan, Darth Malak, Darth Malgus, Darth Ruin, Darth Bane."
latest

They are...but they aren't canon.

This can be viewed as a spoiler brehs, everyone thinks the person under that mask is the dude from girls

Naw...they've already said that's who she's playing in official sources.

The toys have her voice (Even if you don't recognize her voice, you recognize the voice of a woman).

Everyone should know by now that Adam Driver is playing Kylo Ren.

U see the one with the Asian family and the little girl said Chimpanzee when Boyega was on the screen?:aicmon:

Lank please?

It's not a particularly great trailer, to be honest. It's mainly focused completely on nostalgia (Which is all it needs to do). It will prove beneficial very soon for most....Abrams is fighting his damndest not to spoil anything...that trailer doesn't even give the plot of the movie away.

We can't have it both ways. Either trailers spoil shyt and we all go ":ooh:....too bad it gives the movie away though" or they keep things hidden and we benefit from not knowing things when the movie comes out.
