Highest grossing film of all time.
>im probably going to give them $1000
its only going to take an average movie for it to do well. then people will overhype it because WOW ITS ACTUALLY GOOD and the money will flow
>>62893784
this is the movie that Lucas and Spielberg predicted will crash Hollywood

>Gen pop get excited with all the trailers
>old fans get off on nostalgia

>cast is experimental literally who's who have proven their worth in what we've seen
>explosions and shit
This movie has everything and has given no reason to fail. Of course people, who probably haven't been in a cinema in six or more months, will be happy to spend a ticket price on this film.
Get your head out of your arse.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more Battlefront memery in the last few days.
>>62895333
not even /v/ cares about that game. They made 20 threads a day for mgsv at launch about how shit it was. Made 20 threads a day for fallout 4 at launch about how shit it was. The thing is people actually like them and mostly shitpost to trigger fanboys. Battlefront barely gets 1 thread a day because it actually is shit that no one cares about.
>advance ticket sales
Scalpers =/= total ticket sales.
Anyone with a double digit IQ could see there was potential to scalp the fuck out of these tickets and make easy money.
>>62895490
>Battlefront barely gets 1 thread a day because it actually is shit that no one cares about.
Or because people are busy playing it because it is actually the best Star Wars game ever made
>>62895575

This. I can't get behind anything that is trying to push kekhold fantasies down childrens throats.
they're pushing prepaid tickets hard because jewjew knows the interest will die down after the first few days because it's mediocre forgettable shit like his other space films
>>62893784
Unless it's somehow fucking terrible and word of mouth becomes "it's the Phantom Menace all over again," yeah it's going to make a shit ton.
At least in the U.S. because worldwide we don't know how the Chinese will react.

If you think Hollywood is unoriginal now, this film will reign us into a new era of darkness.
>>62898636
oh yeah and if you dont want to watch it you're a racist. they're going all out on this one
Like TPM before it, this movie is going to implode from all the hype. There's no way people are going to leave this film with anything besides a sense of disappointment.
It already made $50 million in presale ALONE.
This movie could bankrupt a small Eastern Bloc nation.
>>62898739
those are scalpers dummy and they're selling them for like 10,000 bucks lol. It's gonna crash Hollywood
>>62898731
Some people don't learn from their mistakes.
>>62898731
Implode? Phantom made a shit load of money. Just because it sucks doesn't mean it won't make obscene profits.
>>62898791
The same way scalpers crashed pro sports.
>>62893784
Not surprising, it's Star Wars.
Even Phantom Menace was one of the highest grossing films of all time at the time behind only Titanic and it had fucking nothing of the original trilogy.
>>62898810
It made shitloads less money than they were anticipating. In toy sales. They had a ton of toys made that suddenly no kid wanted and they clogged up store shelves for years. Do you think it's a coincidence that Attack of the Clones had way fewer ticket sales and almost no toys available?
>>62898842
people regularly go to the stadium expecting to see a scalper selling tickets at a reasonable price. people aren't gonna put up with that bullshit for a movie
>>62895894
I will ignore the problems until they kick down my door and rape my wife
>>62898791
I refuse to believe that its all scalpers.
Some of it, maybe, but i highly doubt a bunch of money hungry fuckbags would be capable of crashing Fandango in that capacity.
Cant you understand that people are 100% legitimately excited for this?

Is fallout 4s story any good? I only play single player games if the story/story's are good like final fantasy. I prefer immersive story over gameplay

If it's 7/10 or better I'll see it multiple times in theater

CHINA HATES NIGROIDS
THIS WONT BREAK 2BN
>>62901193
>NIGROIDS
Vigroids (formerly Nigroids) is the brand name of a liquorice sweet. The small black pellets are particularly marketed as an expectorant lozenge for singers, using the slogan "for clarity of voice". The product is manufactured by Ernest Jackson & Company Ltd of Crediton in Devon, England a subsidiary of Kraft Foods.[1]
In November 2010 the name was changed from "Nigroids" to "Vigroids"; the former name became a subject of some controversy due to it being similar to the word "nigger" or "negroid". Originally made by Ferris and Company of Bristol, the pellets had been sold under the brand name "Nigroids" since 1900.
>>62901193
No, they don't? Just because there is a lack of presence in their country doesn't mean they hate black people.
>>62901355
>No, they don't?

>Here is a single image to prove Chinese people are inherently racist
Again...no they are not?
>>62901531
Uh? They sort of are?
It mainly extends from a lack of exposure to black people, like you said. They see black people as primitive and hyperathletic, basically the opposite of the Asian master race.
>>62899331
>Look im a faggot. The qt neighbour i liked got fucked by tyrone cause i never said hello to her
>>62901531
>no they are not?

>>62901423
A) The Bubble Sisters aren't Chinese, they're South Korean.
B) They don't hate black people, they actually adore them. Their music is inspired by black American soul singers, and the whole blackface getup was their way of paying "tribute" to them. They were completely unaware (although I'm sure they aren't now) that black face/dressing up as an archetypal race other than your own is considered offensive and racist.
C) The moment they found out how offensive it was considered overseas they stopped.
>>62893784
is this a blacked scene?
>>62901612
That's actually hilarious because if, say, a non-asian publication was responsible for this ad people would be saying it was racist toward asians.
>>62901531
Not China but still. Just because your yellow ass tries and relate to "urban culture" as a way to strike back at whitey doesn't mean they don't hate blacks in Asia

To be fair Bob Sapp completely embraced the stereotype, I think to hype one of his fights they filmed him sitting in the zoo with gorillas.
So weird that a charismatic giganigger captured the heart of a nation the way he did.
>>62893784
honestly finn isn't all that bad, yea he looks like a bonobo ape but at least he sort of fits into the star wars style of a young up-and-comer, it's the fucking chick that i can't stand
she literally looks like a fucking great white shark with those giant gary busey tony robbins lookin ass teeth, i can't stomach looking at her gross ass and from what i can gather from the trailers she's a huge mary sue
also the light saber still rubs me the wrong way, looks like a retarded nerf sword and that alone is enough to keep me away
>>62893784
Once it comes out that the movie is a soulless piece of crap no
what are you idiots talking about? Scalping movie tickets is dumb when there are probably 10 theatres a reasonable distance away from you right now. I don't believe that shit exists.
>>62893784
Yes..i hear you all...i hear you down there,talking shit. i listen and chuckle, to your anger and bitterness echoing from below. such intense rage yet so minute and insignificant...so distant. the hum of grandiose declarations, supported only by delusions of mere mortals. one after another they have crawled before the golden gates of the 2 billion mark. barely standing up,bloody and tearful, trying to grasp it with thier gaze, realizing they will never pass through. they gave thier absolute best, but never reached thier destination. cursing my name as they are being cemented for eternity to thier pitiful position. but i forgave the blasphemy, disregarded thier envy, while i sit on the throne, ever so confident in my divine right as the Emperor Director. yet i still wish for a worthy contender, for a noble spirit to clash swords with. it is indeed, lonely at the top...

>>62901908
well she isn't wrong
that mom got it too lmao
>>62893784
OP, people will go see this because it's the first REAL sequel to the original trilogy with the original actors. I expect it to have a big opening, like Carrie Fisher's smelly cunt, but it will drop off sharply once people realize that it's another Jar Jar Abrams shitfest!!!FACT!!!
>>62902159
You mean they're too stupid to evaluate something with nuanced criticism. The very first movie I remember seeing at the theater was Return of the Jedi when I was five years old back in 1983. Thought it was THE SHIT! Then I saw Gremlins the next year and that was truly mind altering. Realized by the time I was seven that Jedi was Disneyfied trash aimed at infants, just like Jar Jar was!!!FACT!!!
>>62902421
Gremlins 2 is an underrated classic
>>62902442
Saw it in 89 when it was released and take it as a spoof of the original, almost like Return of the Living Dead Part 2!!!FACT!!!
>b-but muh asian markets
lol, /pol/ is getting desperate.
>>62893784
It'll make over a billion, easy.
Will it beat Avatar's record? I'm inclined to say there is a 90% chance that it won't.
>>62902758
1.5-2 BILLION IS MY GUESS!!!FACT!!!
>>62894345
this
>>62893784
Hold your horses, folks...
It could well be everything we hope it'll be. The box office-decimating Heir to the original film and then some.
But there's also plenty of reason to be worried. They aren't screening it in advance for critics, for one. Secondly, this could very well turn into Star Wars "Episode VII: The Adventures of Mary Sue (With pandering fan service, STID-grade plot twists, and unnecessary OT character deaths)"
If it's the former, it'll be the Avatar killer that Disney's nutting itself at night to.
If it's the latter, then it will be the film that Lucas and Spielberg have foretold. The chosen one, if you will, that will bring balance to the blockbusters.

That's pretty depressing, I mean, the originals weren't even that good, and the trailers don't even look that good. I mean we're basically at the point where the quality of the film has nothing to do with its success. For instance, the prequels all made tonnes of money, despite being complete pieces of shit, and this is gonna make tonnes of money despite being mediocre.

>>62905621
Why do you constantly cry about "muh trolls" in your very serious threads whining about white genocide in a disney childrens movie? Is it because you're a virgin?

Yeah well maybe if Disney didn't shoehorn this ugly black guy that barely suits the role then people wouldn't be complaining. What's wrong with deviating from the standard white male lead? Isn't that what most Star Wars fans expect? You should also keep in mind that only the protagonists show diversity, and all the antagonists are blue eyed blonde nazi Jew killers.
