There is no reason to think this will do more than AOU could opening weekend.
You're correct about that.

Re: Star Wars - Episode VII - Predictions AOU did 27.5m on Thursday.
Star Wars is at least halfway to that number already, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's already $20m in pre-sales.

Re: Star Wars - Episode VII - Predictions  Quote: Rumor brewing that multiple rival studios believe Disney is buying many of these advance tickets through third parties as a way to help drum up hype. Similar to sports teams who sell stadium tickets in bulk to thirty party vendors at a discounted price so the team can say the game was a "sell out" even when it wasn't. Not sure what will come of this, but many studios across the country are reporting to little to no activity regarding Star Wars. _________________Ari Emmanuel wrote: I'd rather marry lindsay Lohan than represent Mel Gibson.

Re: Star Wars - Episode VII - Predictions Excel wrote: BJ, explain to me why this will sell more tickets opening weekend than AOU.
AOU is a hotter brand at or near its peak, more modern concept, more contemporary stars with the best weekend available for mega openings.
TFA is an older brand far from it's prime, a concept relying heavily on nostalgia from 35 to 40 years ago, featuring unknowns and old and forgotten stars which younger crowds do not know/care about, opening in a month known for muted openings due to market conditions. AOU only managed 190 on the best weekend of the year coming off the insane popularity and good will of the original plus captain america 2. TFA aint coming close to that coming off the non existent good will of the prequels and a 10 yea gap after them.
Again, WHY is this going to open higher than AOU?
STAR WARS is a geek nerd internet phenomenon to be sure, but it's mainstream everyman appeal is not close to Marvel at this point in time. I have no further arguments against your insanity beyond the thorough rebuttals you have received time and time again. all of them  _________________The Force Awakens

Quote: Rumor brewing that Batman V Superman is a disaster, with test screening numbers coming in lower than Batman & Robin. Not sure what will come of this, but studios are bulking up their March releases, confident that Warner Bros.'s title will quickly collapse after opening weekend.
