Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

[MegaPrime33]

I think opening weekend will be huge for SW since a lot of people are excited to see what happens with the story. Good and bad.

Agreed. Regardless of how hardcore fans felt about the prequels, they will all go out and see this movie. How can you not when the original cast is starring in it? And as far as the new trailer goes, if there is somehow an HD version that pops up online before Avengers comes out, of course I"m going to watch it.

I hear ya! I don't feel like the prequels ruined my childhood like some fans say it did theirs but I do say that they could have been done better.

I will be at the theater on opening weekend waiting to see the next chapter of a story with characters that I love.

What's even better is that I'll be seeing Episode VII for FREE!

Thanks to a donation to the library, the comic book club (18 members and 6 chaperones) I sponsor are getting to go opening weekend.

I still say Avengers 2 will have a BIGGER opening weekend and BIGGER total gross...

I agree

 

[Rorywan]

It depends on the next couple of trailers I would imagine. If they are groundbreaking and hit the news, then it could be beyond massive.

There is no way Avengers will do better than Star Wars.

This is Star Wars.

Star Wars.

Star.

Wars.

Depends if Star Wars will play in 3D and IMAX. Those add a great deal of money to every ticket sold, Marvel has made quite a killing with those little surcharges. Star Wars will be huge, but so will Avengers. If Star Wars doesn't play in 3D and IMAX, then Avengers really could make more then Star Wars, even if more people go to Star Wars. As much as I hate the 3D gimmick, Hollywood realizes how much extra cash they can squeeze out of people for it and why it continues to exist. I imagine Star Wars will at least be in IMAX like every other blockbuster, but that doesn't mean it will be in 3D too. I'd prefer it not to be.

Hard to predict who'll have the bigger opening weekend, but AoU will probably outgross TFA. AoU could make as much as $1.75B to $2B while TFA could make as much as $1.25B, maybe $1.5B.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I predict that the Mouse will be rolling in large piles of cash after both AoU & TFA premier.
