>>63978046
Sorry to break it to you kiddo, but the movie is gonna kill in China. Fast and the Furious 7 was the biggest movie in China making nearly 400 mil.

The original Star Wars was never released in China until this year you dumb cuck.
>>63978253
I remember reading somewhere that the Chinese market is unsure because they generally like things that are set on Earth or something to that degree because it's more relatable.
>>63978318
It had a latina, two half blacks and a black side character.
back to 9gag kid
Star Wars was never huge in Asia. The Force Awakens wasn't even the number 1 movie in Korea.
It will prolly make 300 million in China the normal blockbuster amount.
>>63978561
Also it sold fewer tickets than Yo-Kai Watch in Japan.
Is it expected to do 200 million at four Chinese theater chains, or 200 million throughout the nation?
>>63978055
Most of the target audience has already seen the movie. Considering drops and everything, by my estimates, Star Wars will end up earning 650M domestic and about 1B-1.3B in foreign markets, 20% of which is going for withholding taxes alone. The actual earning out of it is going to be risible if it earns anything at all.
Avatar was good investment. Star Wars wasn't. Simple as that. I already knew this movie was going to fail way before the release, and everything is just happening as I already had predicted. Keep delusional
>>63978781
It's going to make 5 billion in merchandise alone, you fucking mong.
Stop pretending you know what you're talking about. You don't.

>>63979141
Man I hope Jimbo never grows his hair out again
>>63979262
He's not wrong though.
The film and merchandise must make AT THE VERY LEAST 8 billion dollars, which is unlikely.
While I won't say the movie flopped, it simply was not worth the investment.
4 billions + 200 mil + another 200 mil.
Add taxes, inflation, etc. and you can see why this movie isn't a success, purely economically speaking.
But of course this won't stop the franchise. They paid a lot of gold for the cow, they're going to milk every single drop it has left.
>>63978781
5/10 bait
>>63979487
pretty sure they are going to make an entire trilogy AND a bunch of TV shows and cartoons
with lots of cheap singaporean labor
>>63979487
Disney went into this knowing it would be a long game though. Come back after this trilogy is done and then reevaluate if the investment was worth it.
4 billion was a coup.
Star Wars is going to be milked forever. This film itself is going to get to at least 1.8 billion. Add another 1.8 billion and maybe 2.0 billion for IX since it'll be marketed as the "last one".
Plus untold merchandising revenue and profit.
>>63979487
what ass did you pull this 8 billion dollar number out of?
you do understand they didnt pay $4b to make one film right? they bought all of lucasfilms, all of its properties, franchise and rights as well as the right to continue creating and selling the star wars universe in perpetuity
>>63977405
>still not opened in china
>movie isn't even out for a full week
not a flop at all
>>63978781
It will make more than 650M domestic.

I can never tell if posts like this are jokes or not. I always assume they are but then everyone comments on them telling the poster how much of an idiot they are.
So am I giving the poster too much credit or do these people really need to be told how dumb they are?
>>63979782
its not outlandish to think they will one day reboot the entire franchise
redo 1-6 in like 2025
>>63979541
They will have to waste as much money in the second installment to make roughly the same ammount back (AKA No profit). And most of the hype is fake/media generated and this movie didn't blow the normies away like the original property Avatar did with its 3D experience.
Face it fanboys, your franchise is over. Pack up your things and leave while is isnt still not too embarrassing
>>63977763
>chinese will not release movie because imdb rating drops from 8.8 to 8.7
Actually the movie started at 9.5. IMDB ratings always start out way too high and take a few months to balance out. It's almost guaranteed to stay in the 8 range though.
Also it's performance in China will have nothing to do with the IMDB rating.
>>63977523

Can you make an argument without mentioning Avatar? Because I don't think you can.
>>63979866
How sad this would be. But it seems hard to imagine it wouldn't eventually happen. Whether it be in the next 10 years or 50 years.
they spent at least 500mil on marketing, so it has a long way to go still.

>>63980011

Do you guys really think this move will have the staying power of something like Avatar or even Jurassic World? Once you get past the Star Wars label it is literally a generic "blockbuster" sci-fi movie that is indistinguishable from the 100 other put out the past 5 years.

>>63978894
>Irrelevant. This is only about the box office revenue. It needs to at least beat Titanic
How the fuck is this irrelevant if your talking about investment.
They didn't buy Star Wars so they could beat Avatar they bought it so they could make a shit ton of money. There will be a 500+ million dollar Star Wars movie every year for the next 20 years. And every year they will sell a billion dollars worth of toys.
>>63980098
Their projections were 13-16 million though.
No way the game can sell another 4-5 million copies unless it gets discounted a ton.
>>63980073

im not saying it isnt legit but im going to need a little more
>>63980098
no you were the right one i was replying to. i was just backing you up. they can keep creating and recreating in this universe till the end of time. they own all the characters and story now.. they will make their money back 10 fold
>>63979487
Disney paid 4 billion for the rights to star wars
So about 1.33 billion per movie. Budget for the movie and marketing is 400 million let's say.
BREAK EVEN POINT
1.73 Billion
Ticket Sales Alone:
610 Million in about 4 days.
So about 35% of the way through. I think it will definitely beat Jurassic Park and beating Avatar isnt impossible either.
If we wanted to be super conservative estimate of doing only slightly better than JP (which currently has $1.6 Billion) The Force Awakens would just break even.
On its own as a movie, it manages impressive rev numbers but the amount of investment was also massively high.
However take into consideration the sales of toys, merch, games, books etc.... AND tha disney owns Star Wars forever now so that 4 Billion dollars dont need to be actualize over just the 3 movies.
So to sum it up, Disney won't make making that much money from TFA, but they hold the rights to a cultural icon, which can be milked for decades to come.
>>63980162
>They didn't buy Star Wars so they could beat Avatar

>The $57 million figure incorporates revenues generated from the "Star Wars Marathon Event" from 135 theaters in which all previous six Star Wars films were shown along with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Ticket prices cost $59.99 for all the films (including The Force Awakens) at an average of $8.57 per movie
Reminder that the "record breaking preview night" isn't even legit. The movie hasn't made 600m yet. Barely made 500 I reckon

"With an estimated budget of $200 million ($423 million including marketing, printing and advertising costs, and making and distribution of home videos, along with an additonal $22.3 million spent on TV trailers and a further $51.4 million spent on ancillary products such as video games, action figures and costumes), The Force Awakens is predicted to be a major box office success"
>>63980075
SW already is one of the most recognizable franchises in pop culture definitely more widely known the JP and Avatar. Will episode 7 be memorable? Yes, how much depends on what Disney is able to deliver. Also you may not like it, I myself I'm not a big fan, but Disney is gonna market this more than anything to a new generation of kids.
>>63980249
Didnt realize this
That makes the investment even more positive for Disney
In any case, this will turn out well for disney's shareholders which is fascinating to me to see a massive franchise lead by a well oiled machine that is disney putting into motion but from the looks of it only fascinating to some of /tv/ for movie shitfests.
Is /tv/ really going to be in denial over this?
>>63980327

how many theaters actually marathoned all the films? like less than 50? probably something like 20 and the theaters werent even sold out

THIS DELUSION
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
CAMERON FAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH
>>63980355
who are you quoting?
The movie didn't cost 400m to make either. It's closer to half that.
This is how Hollywood budgets work. 50% goes to actually making the movie. 45% is reinvested back into the studio. 5% goes back into producers pockets.
Most of the reported budget isn't actually is never spent and stays within the studio. That's why every so often theirs a movie that by all accounts should never get a sequel does. That's why on paper, no movie in the last 30 years has made profit.
>>63980194
Oh I see what your saying now m8, exactly. Anyone who thinks this wasn't the best business transaction since like the Louisiana Purchase is retarded.
>>63980177
They bumped up their projection figure which was originally at 9-10 mill to 13 million sold by March 2016.
They have 7 million console sales right now, .35 physical PC sales as well. Neither of those figures contains the #'s for digital sales on PC/PS4/Xbox One. They have definitely hit their original sale goal and have made a decent profit, they're going to fail to hit 13 million however.
This is bad for EA who changed the figures, not bad for Disney cause they don't give a fuck. It's not their shareholders who are going to be dissapointed.
>>63980327
135 theaters accounts for 100 million dollars over 1 day?
What sort of Judge Dredd sized super cinemas do you go to?
Disney has likely already made back the initial 4 billion spent on Lucasfilm.

It might beat Titianic, but it won't beat Avatar.
It's a front loaded release. It's front load is absolutely massive but it's showing the signs of being closer to a nomral blockbuster box office pattern than something like Avatar. It's just going to get worse as it loses screens to all the new movies coming out. Avatar had almost nothing to compete with in Jan, but theirs a shitload of highly anticipated movies coming out this Jan.
>>63980627

That's not true, read up on the diminishing numbers by the day. This movie is tracking similar to Avatar in terms of percentages right now while having made more money in the same time frame.
We really can't make any actual claims though until we've at least seen two more weekends #'s, Avatar had virtually no drop off in it's weekend box offices for months and in some weeks it went up, If star wars can keep bringing people back to spend 60-80 million dollars every weekend then we can star making claims about it beating Avatar.
>>63980818

TFA needs to make a lifetime gross of $17.9 Trillion in order to break even.
>>63981434
Now THIS is the number I've been looking for.

>Kung Fu Panda 3 is over a month away.
Beating Avatar is a long term game.
Jurassic World made 1 billion dollars in 10 days. But only made another 600 million for the rest of its run topping out at 1.6 billion.
Avatar made 30million dollars domestically 11 weeks after it's release. Most movies aren't even still in the theater 2 and a half months later.
Daily remind it's a marathon, not a race.
>>63981434
Really? I heard it needed $17.9991 trillion dollars
>>63981434
to even break even
>>63981498
a marathon is a race numbnuts

>>63981229
>>63981297

>>63981561
It's over half-way there you fucking imbecile.
It hasn't even been out a week.

>a marathon is a race numbnuts
Race

Marathon

Christ Boyega needs to work on his posture. Good on Jew Jew for not being beta with Daisy, I wonder if he's high enough in the echelons of Hollywood that she had to suck him off for the part or if it was some Disney exec who got it.
>>63981683
You're retarded nigga. A race is to determine who completes the course the fastest, a marathon is to determine who has to endurance to complete the course at all.

Fifty Shades of Black is either a parody or a knockoff because the second book is called "50 shades darker".

It's alright friend, just let it be. The bane, tumblr, and cuckposting has destroyed his mind. He couldn't see the true box office numbers if he tried.
>>63981558
Look, phrases are a diamond dozen in this doggy dog world. Calm your chesticles.
>>63981602
>It's over half-way there

>>63981821
Are you trying to play doubles advocate or something?
>>63981762
the winner of a marathon finishes fastest you dumb mother fucker.

>>63981830

Even if this somehow made 4 billion those slimy Hollywood accountants would still call it a bomb
>>63981830
>its under-performing in overseas markets.
By what standards? It was #1 at the box office in pretty much every country it was released in this weekend.

you know why disney do more and more films about cars? Each movie had a cost of 200 with 300 of advertising. Each movie do 100 of profit, but billions on merchandising and licenses.
The films are just a "reminder" about how the franchise is still alive and make you reminder you can buy their stuff for xmas.
>>63981995
>>63982098
B-But it's still a flop, guys! Really!
>>63982098
The spider man 2 is Tobey version? Because I confess this impress me more, since records are being broke every other day nowadays.
>>63977405

>>63982176
indeed, the monday numbers are a great indicator of what it's going to do this coming weekend.
>>63982214
I saw it on this monday (again), and the theater was full and people reacted with almost the same enthusiasm they did on the premier. It was really great.I'm seeing it again tomorrow, but that's for me in dec. Maybe I'll watch again in january
>>63982346

4bil for lucasarts + 200mil for movie + 200mil for marketing = 4.4bil profit or its a flop. Avatar made 2.7bil, people who think star wars is gonna make 4.4 are delusional
>>63982346

Nielsen's report on Thursday didn't forecast future sales, but Wall Street analysts expect that $5 billion-$6 billion in merchandise will be sold worldwide in the first year after Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens opens. For perspective, Walt Disney sold $5 billion in Frozen merchandise in its last fiscal year.
And 90% or more of that goes to the toy manufacturers and retailers. Disney only gets a "taste" of that $5b. But still, not bad.
>>63982413
5 billion in star wars toys sales already
you're LITERALLY retarded
