Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Previews and OD prediction To reiterate: zwackerm, who has claimed for months that STAR WARS isn't relevant to the younger generation, and nobody really cares about it all that much anymore, is now predicting it'll fall only $1m short of breaking the opening day record. In December. That's how good Disney's marketing has been.

I never said it wasn't relevant to the younger generation, simply that the December release would spread out its business, and that its opening wouldn't come anywhere near the record. The ridiculous presales have proven without a doubt this will behave like a summer, not a December film

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Previews and OD prediction I'm thinking this will be a large scale Fifty Shades where there are almost no walkups. Which will still be enough for 175+.

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Previews and OD prediction 20 years ago. Batman Forever is the first film to open over 50 million
10 years ago. ROTS crushes the midnight record, and is the first film to have 50 million in a single day (and it's a Thursday.)
2015. Yeah, 50 million just seems right for previews. It's Star Wars, it was created to turn the box office bat shit crazy.

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Previews and OD prediction That doesn't necessarily mean they'll be counted in the previews total; most ticketing systems don't officially register a day as beginning until like 6 a.m.
