They could release an extended edition to theaters. Itd play. {nm} budice Jan 06, 10:38

Might upset JJ Abrams, he strongly dislikes "extended editions" and feels the theatrical release is his director's cut. {nm} notfabio Jan 06, 11:26

Short term options include dramatically cutting back the IMAX release for FINEST HOURS either by showtimes or theatres {nm} notfabio Jan 06, 11:29

They could also add an "exclusive first look" of 5-10 minutes of Rogue One (ala the Guardians of the Galaxy) without a new cut of STAR7. {nm} notfabio Jan 06, 11:33

Unless the home video release is this Summer, they will definitely do split screens/double features with Civil War or Jungle Book {nm} notfabio Jan 06, 11:35

special in-theaters collectors figure {nm} slipping jimmy Jan 06, 11:43

They actually are doing 4 weekends of collectors art prints/tickets for the IMAX release at AMC/Regal and 3D glasses at Cinemark {nm} notfabio Jan 06, 11:46

In this situation, JJ might reconsider {nm} CG63 Jan 06, 19:55

Who is going reach billion first powerball vs Star Wars 7 mike255 Jan 06, 10:45

Stars wars box office can effect this weekend. If powerball hit 1 billion this weekend. mike255 Jan 06, 11:06

If only they'd have taken my advice... ndmaster Jan 06, 11:38

That doesn't make any sense. if you want to hold off on the home video, then you LEAVE it in theaters. {nm} Antibody Jan 06, 11:40

You don't think that an announcement like that would get every butt in a theater pronto? ndmaster Jan 06, 22:59

They are going release Ultra HD Blu ray Star Wars Triology set this year? {nm} mike255 Jan 06, 12:02

It won't reach one billion domestic. It's not even going to break Avatar's worldwide record. {nm} AgentEvil Jan 06, 16:42
