Forbes: Updated STAR7 theater count info. 4000+ After all. skunkrunner Dec 12, 11:21

It's still going to crush PTA records {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 12, 11:31

They could make another 20 movies and still be making money {nm} budice Dec 12, 12:34

Apparently Disney's in the black already from toy sales alone (the $4B Lucasfilm purchase). {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 12, 13:30

BBC report (at 1:29) RamsFan2004 Dec 12, 13:33

Interesting report, thanks for the link {nm} RickandMorty Dec 13, 00:40

AND lots of theatres are doing this (see short article at link) - which may represent equiv of 50 % more theatres on top of the 4000+ Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Dec 12, 11:51

biggest issue it faces is the time of the year. moviegoers are distracted a week before Chrismas. calendar in this case is 'not' your friend Oleg Max Dec 12, 12:22

Malls tend to have movie theaters. People can catch the movie and do christmas shopping. I don't think it's an issue. If anything, it helps. {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 12, 12:27

moviegoers have never had a Star Wars movie in December to pay attention to {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 12, 12:27

there were other huge movies opening in December that underwhelmed on opening wkn: LOTR, HOBIT, AVATR Oleg Max Dec 12, 12:32

It's Star Wars {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 12, 12:36

+1 {nm} Dorfman. Dec 12, 12:42

+1000 {nm} skunkrunner Dec 12, 12:46

And Lets all forget about those last three terrible chapters. This one looks to be ok :-) {nm} jmt-nl Dec 12, 12:48

exactly! Star Wars episode 1 opened to 64 over 3 days and 105.6 over 5 days, during May in 1999, even Oleg Max Dec 12, 12:54

and did not break the OW record held by The Lost World. None of the prequels broke the OW record. Antibody Dec 12, 12:58

"It's Star Wars" actually means finishing second ;) Antibody Dec 12, 13:04

But none of the prequels opened on a Friday. {nm} m051293 Dec 12, 13:08

PM and ROTS would have taken the records with a Friday opening m051293 Dec 12, 13:11

VOM from Europe will have an impact. In Sweden SW opens two days earlier. Swedes can never shut up you know ;) {nm} mattep74 Dec 13, 10:57

It's one of the most amazing box office track records I've ever seen. Think about it: 21.5!!!! {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 12, 13:17

Those were all 3 hour movies and not in the same realm as Star Wars. {nm} nilephelan Dec 13, 08:12

It has benefits as well as drawbacks CG63 Dec 13, 12:07
