>yfw Star Wars made 1.5 billy in 17 days and only needs to make another billy in its entire run to become the top grossing movie of all fucking time
holy shit

That means jackshit because of inflation. Gone with the wind will never be beaten.
>>64430099

>>64430131
Or Avatar.
>>64430099
>mfw it's true
>>64430099
how is it reking Avatar so hard (domestically)? Like it's seriously blowing it out of the fucking water.
>>64430099
Biggest question is, why are so many people paying to watch this movie in theatres so many times. Once I can understand. Twice is stretching it, but there have to be people watching it atleast 5 or more times, and a lot of them. I'm sure even one guy who has gone to watch it everyday.
And for what? A marvel movie with the starwars logo
>>64430244
>tfw haven't seen it yet nor will I
>>64430099
>TFA still hasn't beat almost twenty years old movie about ship at the box office
>>64430242
Americans don't give a shit about Native American allegories. Only Europeans suffer from severe white guilt.
>>64430244
Because this bandwagon has a lot of space in it for year to come
>>64430099
>tfw as depressing as this is... it will be even more depressing when Avatar 2 comes out and fails to touch any of these records because nobody gives a shit about Avatar
>implying it can touch Avatar's worldwide numbers
Cute.
Look at those percentages. The foreign box office doesn't give two shits about Star Wars. AND IT SHOWS... OH IT SHOWS
>>64430341
>nobody gives a shit about Avatar
Yet everybody still talks about Abadap.
>>64430370
It still hasn't premiered in China. It's going to make anywhere between $250m-$500m there
>>64430477
no it does not, this flick has nothing to do with glorious china republic, show me top chinese actress playing in focre awakens

Nah man I remember the marketing for Avatar was some aggressive shit. I was seeing ads at main cinemas like two years prior the release and now everybody already knows about it and want to have the same experience again Avatar 2 is confirmed to make 3B at least
>>64430131
Gone with the Wind is a shit comparison because
1. It was in theaters for a total of 20 some years
2. It was released during a time when only a handful of movies came out each year
3. It came out during a time when television, the internet, and other forms of entertainment were either in their infancy or non-existent.
So it naturally had every odd in it's favor, it's an average movie at best.
>>64430287
It's on track to. Compared to the same time frame it's beating it.
>>64430523
Show me a top Chinese actress playing in Avatar.
>>64430523
Just wait. Disney filmed up some 90 second scene with Zhang ZiYi or Fan Bingbing via 2nd unit. Some shit with them sitting at a control panel in the Resistance base or walking down some hallway that looks like the Cantina. Suddenly, glorious China culture is on the world stage and the whole country will go see the film.
>>64430300
There's no evidence for a Societ-style geocide of American Indians. And Asia made Avatar into a huge hit, not Europe.
>>64430660
Bullshit, the amount of movies released now is nothing compared to previous decades, also now studios can pedal their shit all over the globe thanks to new media, to a national and global population which is more than double the size it was 80 years ago.
>>64430242
big bang theory made normies think they are nerds and geeks. a shit load of people (adults, not just kids) are watching this as their first star wars just to brag about how they are such a geek XD on social media
>>64430717
Avatar looked like a gigantic Korean anime!
there's no comparison. They don't watch JJ/ Michael Bay movies.
>>64430099
Half of the takings goto the theatres, Disney spent 350 million on advertising. The movie cost 200 million to make.
What it takes isn't a like for like thing.
>>64430859
This. It's Star Wars for people who don't like Star Wars that much, most people I know who love TFA saw the OT once and thought it was dated
>>64430660
None of the factors you listed make Gone with the Wind a shit comparison, one could cherry-pick the success determinants of everything from Thriller to the bible but it's the numbers that matter.
>>64430376
it did well because it was a good introduction into a new technology. avatar 2 won't have that.
>>64430923
And your point is? That goes for all movies.
>>64430660
>an average movie
It will live longer than you will.
>>64430930
>None of the factors you listed make Gone with the Wind a shit comparison
>was in theaters for 20 years
ok bro
Will TFA be in theatres for 20 years?
Can it beat an adjusted gross of Titanic?
>>64431043
>Will TFA be in theatres for 20 years?
Of course not, it's just another forgettable capeshit.
has all of January to soak up money before anything has to compete with it
49%/51%
It had a good weekend again:
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=starwars7.htm
>>64431163
>70% of what Avatar made total in less than a month and without China
>>64430974
because it became a meme
like Citizen Kane and Casablanca
TFA is the capeshit of Star Wars, and that's saying something.
>>64431099
The Michael Bay film will beat it on its 5th weekend
>mfw /tv/ told me that Star Wars would flop because a nigger was in it
>the nigger is the most favorite character in the film
>and it's already set to be the biggest grossing film of all time
never change /tv/, you autistic neckbeards
>>64431289
It may be the favorite as a character, but has not been the selling point. Toys of him are not being bought.I don't have one.
This is now a Margaret Mitchell thread.
https://youtu.be/9hEj99hrphs
>>64431289
I think these autists here actually enjoy being proven wrong every time by reality. There is no way someone could be this disconnected.
>>64431423
You realize that this should have made 4 Billion, but it can't even keep pace with Avatard.
>>64430634
Go to bed, James.
>>64431475
Except it's outpacing Avatar...
>>64430099
>only another billy

>only
nice one.
>>64431475
...what? It made 70% of what Avatar made so far
>>64431547
Holidays are over kid. It will sink like a stone now.
>>64431475
> 4 Billion
>Movie costed $200 million
You mean to tell me Disney spent 3.9 billion dollars on marketing? For fucking Star Wars? The most well known franchise in movie history?
>>64431563
>kid
Nice one :)
>>64431547
It's doing well, but this was the most anticipated movie of all time and a lot of people see it as being rushed...
>>64431540
When a movie makes 1.5 billy in 17 days... making another billy (before even opening in China) is definitely more of an "only"
>>64431638
Obviously they are the minority since it is the fastest selling movie of all time.
>>64430477
This garbage movie still hasent premiered in China yet? What the fuck?
>>64431719
no, you stupid faggot
>>64431638
>lot of people see it as being rushed...
A few fags on /tv/ are not a lot of people
>>64431719
Six more days till it opens in Chinaland.
>>64431788
Six more days till Avatarfags commit suicide.
>>64431648
But the Chinks won't watch it because:
>no history of Star Wars in China/no fanbase
>no Chinese product placement/cameos
>a nigger in the co-main role
>>64431842
There's been a big marketing push in China and they love Disney. It'll sell.
>>64431842
They had storm troopers walking on the great wall over there. I think they might fall for it
>>64430099
Will you defer your motion to allow a commission to explore the validity of your accusations?
>>64430279
Same here fäm
And I'm a starwars fan tbqhwyf
ANOTHER STAR WARS THREAD? ANOTHER ?!?!?!!?!?!? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME????????
>>64431842
The same fist two points are also true about Jurassic World and it was a big hit in China.
>>64431906
I move for a vote of no confidence
>>64430568
Already on it
Except the technology,Avatar is utter prequels tier movie desu
Star Wars is going to bomb so badly in China due to nigger storm trooper that there will be a net negative coming from that country due to wasted marketing costs. China will HURT the movie not HELP.
>it's a /tv/ only cares about money episode

>>64431592
I think they bought it off of Pottery man for 4 billy
>>64430568
>he mad his jungle kitties film gonna get its billies topped
>>64431592
No you dolt.
The 4 billy was to purchase Star Wars off George Lucas.
I bet they've already made a billy or two with merch... now the movie will make 2 billy and Disney will be in the clear.
>>64432069
I enjoy autists getting btfo, that's the only reason why I'm posting in this thread.
>>64430568
What's the matter, James?
2.7 billy ain't looking too impressive now, is it?
>>64432151
>>64432213
Disney doesn't need to make 4 billion at once, in order for them to acount for the cost of the buy-out they need to make Star Wars into a steady earning cash-cow, like they did with Marvel. I think nearly all of Disney Marvel movies where profitable, so if this is true for Star Wars sequels and spin-offs, then they are reaping the profits from that buyout.
>>64431198
This is the only stat that matters. Anyone doubting TFA overtaking Avatar worldwide needs to wake the fuck up and smell the billies.
>>64431842
They'll love it because they've never seen A New Hope, so it will seem very fresh to them.
>>64432339
I know they don't need to make 4 billy at once, but the fact is that their first fucking movie/merchandise push might very well do just that. Which is insane.
>>64431648
People don't watch comedies dozens of times over, they go back to watch movies which are great experiences, like Gone With The Wind, or Titanic.
>>64431933
Right, but it only made $228 million in China.
is 'billy' some new mong term? OR Australian?
same thing
>>64430244
Because millions of SW fans are literally crying from happiness that they got a good movie after the trash that was prequel trilogy.
>>64432390
Are you saying TFA is a comedy?
It's a scifi action adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Another billy is all but guaranteed.
>>64430131
>>64430174
on damage control
>mfw TFA overtakes Avatar's 2.7 billy record and Avatar 2 barely makes a single billy while Episode 8 makes 3 billy
Face the music. Cameron's reign is over.
>>64432517
But they didn't get a good movie.
>>64432644
OT movies were not very good either.
People love SW because of the setting.
/tv/ contrarians on suicide watch.
>>64432630
I hope Cameron stays box office king... but I do have a hard time believing that people will still want more Avatar after like 3 more Avatar movies
CAMERONFAGS GET IN HERE. SCREENCAP EVERYTHING. TFA FLOPPED ON SUNDAY. HOLIDAYS ARE OVER. IT CANT MAKE ANOTHER BILLION. ZERO CHANCE
>>64432745
>Damage controlling this hard
Enjoy your billies while you have them, Cameron.
>>64432097
fucking this. Forcefags on DAMAGE CONTROL
>>64432451
Prob short for 1 billion tobehonest
>>64432097
Exponential decay is a bitch. TFA has made 85% of its total run. It might not even beat Titanic
>>64432097
even if it makes 0 more dollars it was a huge success
>>64432885
Thanks, mate. Needed a laugh.
>>64432256
>>64432341
>>64432700
>>64432781
Capped.
TFA is done.
>>64430341
don't underestimate James Cameron's ability to mass market like no other
>>64433062

>mass marketing more than Disney
holy shit lol
>>64432745
>>64432947
>holidays are over
>sundays are back to normal
it's a regular fucking sunday m8, you're exaggerating
cameronfags confirmed for suicide when it opens in china
>>64430634
Avatar was only successful for being in 3D. There have been hundreds of 3D movies since Avatar and the fad is now long dead. Films are still released in 3D but the audience has become desensitized to them. Avatar 2 will be successful no doubt but it probably won't even wind up in the top ten
>>64433210
you're clearly doing what I just told you not to do
>>64433313
kike wars manchildren are trying too hard
>>64430849
>the amount of movies released now is nothing compared to previous decades
Why are you talking out of your ass?
There are 9,837 films for the 1930s.
http://letterboxd.com/films/decade/1930s/
There are 61,435 films for the 2010s (and it's only 2016 now).

>>64430930
>capitalizes a michael jackson's song but not the Holy Book
>>64433313
But there always has to be a first person taking the risk. Cameron is the man. Everyone else copied.
>>64430131
Fuck off, Fleming.
>>64430660
I whole heartedly agree with you, but remember that star wars is a sequel/part of a huge franchise, so it's kind of expected.
thats why I find Avatar impressiv, even though it's a terrible fucking movie, but it's a stand alone film that people actually were really interested in
>>64430242
Maybe because Star Wars is an actual long-standing franchise, complete with Disney backing, while Avatar was a original one-off film.
Avatar isn't even the one that sold the most tickets.
Overpriced and forced 14 $ tickets for 3D showing were the key. Also the movie was fare more expensive to produce than SW7 both in production and marketing.
>>64430923
Toys m8. Video games. Disney World. TV shows. Next year's movie. The movie after that. The actual movie profit is just the tip of the iceberg.
>>64430099
>only needs to make another billy in its entire run to become the top grossing movie of all fucking time
isn't that virtually impossible at this point? everyone that's seen it has seen it already.
unless it gets some kind of special re-releases. i think avatar did the same.
>>64432790
Claiming the winning side is on damage control is the most pathetic form of damage control.
>>64430099
Me and my wife's som saw it 4 times each while my wife was out with friends
>>64430660
You are right to an extent, but Gone With the Wind is a great fucking movie, so much better than the equivalent blockbusters of today.
Clark Gable, Vivian Leigh and Olivia de Havilland are all phenomenal—the first half is honestly a masterpiece, and the burning of Atlanta is an all timer. I will concede the second half drags, but Vivian Leigh is so good at playing the most infuriating bitch you ever saw on screen that it works.
Also, she was a prime waifu.
>>64434918
You should be ashamed. Giving so much money to die Kiken.
>>64434658
>unless it gets some kind of special re-releases
it's a SW movie anon
>>64434314
Well it was made by Mr titanic and got a lot of press due to the tech used. The shots looked good, but if anyone told me it was literally Ferngully, I probably world have passed.
I love the film, but Unobtainium.
