That's how I read it too.  But that's nuts. On the other hand, if they just mean the tickets prior to a film's release, then it's just non-news since everyone knows that anyway. No, Star Wars pre-sales were higher than total sales for any other movie's ENTIRE run - you read it right. That's how insane we're talking. Just comparing pre-sales, it did over quadruple the record. A lot of this is helped by people buying for the week of Xmas.

Re: Star Wars Breaks All The Records Club Another random stat:
SW looks like it could average $60 K per theater if it pulls off $250 m +. The most # of theaters a film has been in and achieved such a feat has been a whopping 31, Blair Witch in 1999.
Grand Budapest did $55 K+ in 66 theaters.
Paranormal Activity did $49 K in 160 theaters as did JW in 4274 theaters.
$60 K per theater average. No one's done it in 31+ theaters or more except SW if it gets to $250 m+, which is doing it in 4100!

Re: Star Wars Breaks All The Records Club Phew! I mean obviously $238M is monsterous. I would have been just a teeny tiny bit disappointed if it didn't beat Jurassic's Fri-Sun proper and get the attendance record as well.
