It's over.

the only reason star wars has the domestic record is the thursday shows that started super early

Why would they think a bunch of guys with blasters could defeat 2 Jedi Masters?
Reminder that Jurassic World released simultaneously in China and TFA only grossed about 7 million less without China
you guys are so desperate to label this movie a flop it's pathetic
>>63881262

Originally the scene was supposed to be Yoda and Obi-Wan show up at the Jedi Temple and are ambushed by soldiers dressed as Jedi. Lucas just changed it to them fighting clones but this was kept for Lego Revenge of the Sith
to be honest. Star Wars deserves the US market record because thats the only people it matters to excluding nerds.

Already one of the most profitable movies ever and it hasn't been out for a week nor has it been released in China yet.

No it's not. Not even close.
It's not even as profitable as Unfriended
YOUR MOVIE WONT MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS MY MOVIE!!!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! I WON!!!
I like how you guys are making it seem like TFA completely & utterly failed because it didn't quite make as much money as some other movies (which still made a lot themselves.)
TFA has more than doubled it's budget so far. It's not going anywhere.

This.
I had no interest in seeing Avatar in theaters, but everyone everwhere kept asking "did you see Avatar yet?". It just had that kind of buzz. Buzz that you can't market, it just happens.
Force Awakens could have had that, but they went with CGI villain, 3rd Death Star, Mary Sue nonsense.
thats pretty bad when your franchise reboot with like 100+ million in advertising cant even fucking beat the previous movies of the year

>>63882909
the movie has been out for 3 days and it already has the second strongest opening and broke the record for highest gross on the first day
>>63882959
No it didn't.
>>63882983
Already forgetting how hard Jurassic World was pushed? You could've pieced together the complete movie in all the different TV spots
Is this enough to prove to Americans that star wars isn't as big(outside of america) as they think?
I went with friends in the middle of the day yesterday
They preordered their tickets because they expected it to be difficult to get in
It wasn't even half full and I payed $1.75 less then they did online
>two sides of the pleb coin fighting about things they don't understand and not even mentioning hollywood accounting
>>63883029
23 times 1.5 million isn't as much as twice 200 million
>>63882994
> budget
> 1 million
It made 62 times it's budget.
Even if TFA makes 2 billion that's only 10 times it's budget.
Are you genuinely retarded? Do you not understand what profit means?
>>63883045
>b-but stronkest o-opening
Jurassic World was open a day less, love. Star wars been desperate for this title
not to mention the sales are plummeting on a daily basis
>>63883050
Yes it did.

The female and the black just can't be removed from the sequels. The Asia problem is one that cannot be solved.

>because that way i can make Star Wars look worse
Asia never cared about Star Wars and never will. Has nothing to do with the main char being black, although I'm sure it doesn't help. If they wanted to make it big in Asia they should have tried shilling harder by making one of the cast Asian, preferably someone who is already famous there and EVEN THEN it probably would have had a mild reception.
>>63883642
Stat Wars is massive in Japan. The only Asian market that counted until ten years ago.
>>63883808
well its bombed over there
JJ is kicking himself. He must have forgot to write down 'chink' on his list of races to include on the film
>>63883808
>Harrison Ford is massive in Japan
ftfy
and no, japan has never mattered.
>>63884024
It's one of the major non U.S. markets. And Star Wars...the originals...were huge there.
>>63881068
-foreigners are racist and dont want to see a black guy as the lead
-foreigners dont want to see a woman as the lead
Not taking into account G.Lucas made three horrible movies in a row. And you expect people to run into cinema, as if this is second coming of jesus, to watch another star war movie
- Not taking into account J.J. Abrams is a shitty director and his star trek movies are shit
- Not taking into account this movie only rides on nostalgia train. It gives "tribute" to original trilogy. Only retards and people in denial will use that term instead of plagiarism.
Fuck you for making me reply.
>>63882809
China is the 2nd biggest box office market in the world. Obviously the one movie releasing there its opening weekend has the advantage, and it only just BARELY beat TFA
>>63883922
jews hate asians
>>63882959
That's a meaningless minority compared to the total number of admissions.
Meanwhile, most of Avatar screenings were in 3D and their price was significantly higher than the average price.
Seriously, that's the main reason why it made so much.And in the long run, the new SW trilogy will make shitloads more since there are two more movies to go, plus the spinoffs, plus everything else that makes SW the most rentable licence in the world, or at least one of the most.
>>63884130
Let's be real here m8, foreign markets never mattered until China got huge and Americans stopped caring about theaters. That's the killer combo and the reason these gigantic movies seem to be so eager to include Chink shilling. Yes, Japan had (and still has) a larger market than other countries but comparatively it's insignificant and always has been
The North American market are all you ever needed to rely on until just recently.
>>63884338
It still lost to Harry Potter which also didn't open in China.
>>63884500
You know Star Wars is in 3D right?
And that tickets are significantly more expensive now?
You know Avatar dropped by only 1% from week one to week two?
TFA will be lucky to drop only 50%
>>63884754
The price of 3D tickets is lower now though .At least it is where I am, probably because movie theaters quickly saw people weren't really willing to pay that much for movies that mostly used 3D as a gimmick. Doesn't help that most of the movies in 3D that came after Avatar were terrible.
>>63881331
LEL
>>63881312
I don't think China will be a big market for it.
>>63884754
Also, one major difference here is that many people will probably go see SW in 2D since it's widely seen as a gimmick, while everyone went to see Avatar in 3D. Heck, that was the only reason to watch it in the first place.
>>63884897
I paid like $18 for it, I think it was just $15 a few years ago around the time Avatar came out
>>63885069
>SW in 2D since it's widely seen as a gimmick
I only saw it in 3d for reserve seating desu
>>63882012
which is because of sexism and not because having your one child be a son is your only chance at not starving at 65 am I right? :^)
>>63885134
Wat
I paid 20€ to see Avatar, and 7€ for Star Wars.
What a brilliant scheme Hollywood has made. It's no longer about whether the movie is good or not but is instead about how much money it pulls in during X time.
What a joke cinema has become.
>>63885726
>It's no longer about whether the movie is good or not but is instead about how much money it pulls in during X time.
It has literally always been about that
>>63885726
(you)
>>63881068
It won't matter because Star Wars will always make money from toys.
>>63883311
and those barely exist
>no one in China has ever seen a Star Wars movie before
>China doesnt even like scifi
>no major asian characters in the new movie
What were they thinking?
>>63887143
they could make money from sanitary pads, all we care about is the box office bollocks
>>63883052
cry about it :^)
>>63887832
and one of the main characters is a nigger
most people are probably not aware how much Asians, especially in China/Korea/Japan, hate niggers.
>>63883922
It has the Chinese guy from Lost in it as well as the cast of The Raid
