who gives a fuck about foreigns, they've made 1.4 billion in like 2 weeks. Still a billion in profit after marketing costs.
Ep8 will do even better since Asia is just getting on the Star Wars hype train. It's gonna be huge in 2017

How is it possible that people on /tv/ still don't understand how box office works?
Studio gets half of box office. So they made 700 million. Movie cost them 400 million to make.
That's 300 million profit so far.
>>64467142
>Movie cost them 400 million
>>64467142
you forget the merchandising sales, where the real money is made
>>64467159

How's that boycott going /tv/?
>>64467167
>where the real money is made
Depends on the franchise.
Avengers make just 300 million $ annually in merch sales. Batman just 200 million $.
That's far below the movies.
SW makes about 1.5 billion $ per year, and we have yet to see how TFA affects sales.
>>64467204
Only complete retards claim that it's flopping.
But it still under-performs internationally.

You know where you're going to see a lot of Star Wars sales from? Theme park tickets, Disney already makes a massive amount of profit from it's parks and resorts. Once they open the 14 acre Star Wars addition in Orlando and California they'll see a similar uptick like Universal did when they opened up the Harry Potter expansion.
And think all the shit people buy while they're in the parks for huge markups. Once people are in the gates they'll usually average spending around $100-$200 in a single day.
star wars is like usa.it started out as a small, passionate labor of love and its success has made it a big fat over-celebrated whore.

There is a big fucking difference between a billion and 300 million.
It'll end up being the highest grossing film of all time domestically, and the third or second highest of all time world wide. What a fucking flop.
>>64467874
There are rumors that 1313 and te Darth Maul game are being resurrected. I hope to god they do KotOR 3. It would be dumb not to.
>>64466176
I wonder how much Disney spent on advertising. Even in our Russian shithole, Star Wars propaganda is quite literally everywhere
>>64467952
>being this mad
>>64467985
>Doing Kotor 3
I'm afraid SWTOR is the closest we'll ever get to that, and it's going to die and disappear forever when the servers go down, because even fan resurrections like they one they did with Star Wars Galaxies, are unlikely to be able to support that amount of server side voice acting data.
>>64468029
>even fan resurrections like they one they did with Star Wars Galaxies
you need fans of swtor to do fan resurrections is the real problem.
>>64468029
Good let it die, fucking ruin a great series by turning it into an MMO
It's one of the most successful films of all time. That 88 million is a 3rd week record. How is it flopping?

They're probably too busy with Kingdom Hearts 2.3.5 Quintessence of Dreams Edgy Hair Edition.
>>64468097
I mean I want there to be a Kotor 3 too, but the fact of the matter is, they shot themselves in the kneecap by setting SWTOR so far into the future. There's no way of doing another KOTOR unless you:
A) Set it even further in the future (thus establishing stuff about said future that will limit your choices and surprises in expansions for SWTOR)
B) Limit the influence of player characters (since if there was yet another Exile/Revan level entity, we'd know about it from SWTOR)
Or C) Make it painfully obvious what the "right choices" are, by making based around a character whose existence and fate we are already familiar with from SWTOR.
>>64468201
Compelling argument.
>>64468352
Or they could just ignore SWTOR like it deserves
>>64467142
>Studio gets half of box office.
It's actually a case-by-case basis between the distributor and the theatres.
The amount is usually 50-55% for the studio, but, depending on the contract, the theatre can take up to 60% if it does well.
>>64466176
go cry back to reddit you cuck fag niggerjew sjw senpai desu
Unless it's the biggest movie in China's history (all signs point that not happening) it might not beat Titanic.
Avatar and Titanic were weird ass anomalies when it comes to box office.
>>64467766
Do you think JJ put a flame throwing storm troopers in the movie as a nod to Mel Brooks?
That would be funny.
>>64467284
Truth.
>>64467187
>What's with you people? It already made it's money back 7 times in only two weeks
You need to include both domestic and international marketing fees, taxes, and budgets, anon. So, if anything, they've made very little.
>>64467497
Don't listen to >>64467710
He has no idea what the fuck he's talking about. Images of shelves reveal that Finn isn't selling well. The others, like Poe and Rey, are fine, but all of the original characters are selling like hot cakes.
philip
>>64469205
Hey dipshit, did you even read my post?
>>64467142
Actually in the U.S. with the major theater chains it is a sliding scale. The first week, usually the studios get 75-85%, the second week around 60% and the third and fourth weeks around 50%, if they stick around longer, sometimes the theater will get more than 50% of the take.
Foreign Markets mean less. China might be the second biggest market in the world, but foreign studios are only allowed 20% of box office. and before last year it was 15%. Most other countries it runs between 30% and 60%
But as the other people have said, Disney is making their real money on Merchendising. Disney has done THREE BILLION in merchandising sales alone since "force friday" back in September. Add that to the fact that disney did 2.4 billion gross in toy and video game sales of Star Wars merchandise in 2014, and you realize just how much of a Cash Cow this is for disney
>>64469275
Go on eBay and look at the Phasma black series going for 60$.
The new toys are selling well.
>>64467267
But Pacific Rim was amazing and only the chinese went to see it.
>>64469265
Why did George give it away for 4 billion. I really don't understand.

>>64469409
He was ripped off and it was an instant decision. Read an interview where George sat down with Disney's CEO for the first time and the CEO nudged George and told him "if you ever want to sell it, we're interested." Then Georgy had the idea to sell it.
If anything, he didn't calculate everything Star Wars makes. He should've sold it close to 20 billion.
>>64469265
This. It could still end up making more money than Avatar given how much of the gross is domestic.
>>64469409
Because every SW fan hates him. He was getting death threads so often he stopped using internet for a while.
>>64469946
>star wars manchildren trying to twist it to make it look like star wars came out on top
HAHAHAHAHA
When was the last time you heard of anyone talk of "the most profitable movie of all time"? Never, because 1) nobody cares, and 2) it's impossible to track. The only record that matters is "the highest grossing movie of all time", a record that no star wars movie will ever hold again.
>>64470033
It'll be the highest grossing film of all time domestically. That's not something to sneer at. Also, Episode IX could possibly end up beating Avatar (especially considering inflation) depending on the quality of VIII and how much they hype it being the last Star Wars movie.
>>64469150
>So, if anything, they've made very little.
Are you even aware of how much you are talking out of your ass? One of the most successful movies of all time has made very little? The budget was 200 as were marketing costs. By your logic, no movies make money. Your reasoning a shit.
>>64466176
>>64470197
>b-but muh domestic even though $500m+ less worldwide
>b-but episode IX will do it for sure!
Every manchildren over the past year has pushed the narrative that this movie was going to BTFO of Avatar's worldwide gross, and a lot even had the gall to suggest it could surpass Gone with the Wind's adjusted $3.5b. Given how delusional you've all proven yourself to be once again (let's not forget TPM vs. Titanic in 1999), I don't think any prediction that comes out of your mouth should be taken seriously at all.
>>64466176
It's not going to beat Avatar, nothing can.
>>64469409
It would take him multiple lifetimes to spend that much dough and he's no spring chicken. He made a pretty sound decision, t bh f am.
>>64467182
+ 3 billion for the acquisition of Lucasfilm and the franchise.
It's possible Disney won't make a penny from Star Wars for another year or so
>>64470290
>Given how delusional you've all proven yourself to be once again
What'd I say?
Also, the notion that the third most financially successful film of all time worldwide is being touted as a failure is absurd. Close to a billion in North America isn't a failure.
TFA vs Avatar in countries where Avatar made over $100m (TFA followed by Avatar)
>Australia - $47,100,000 vs $105,779,507
>China - Not Released vs $204,129,854

>UK - $133,500,000 vs $150,025,197
The United Kingdom is the only one guaranteed to overtake Avatars total at the moment.
>>64470517
How the fuck did Avatar do so well? It's an aggressively awful movie.
>>64470506
It's a failure not in gross, but in expectation.
>>64470580
>but in expectation.
Financial analysts were saying 2 billion worldwide, which it could very well end up reaching.
>>64470577
It was the big "3D" movie. The first and only movie where it was actually considered a benefit instead of something lazily tacked on in post-production. You had to go see it at the cinema, and 3D ticket prices are higher than regular ticket prices.
>>64470577
It was marketed as the first movie that was made for 3D. So people wanted to try out that "new" tech. Even though it wasn´t actually new at all.
>>64470577
Snowball effect once media attention got drawn to it for whatever reason.
Same reason films like Dark Knight, Alice in Wonderland, Frozen and Furious 7 randomly made so much more than anyone expected.
>>64470681
>Dark Knight,
That did well opening weekend, and mostly because Heath died
>>64470033
Gonna screencap this for future reference
>>64470517
You are comparing less than 20 days with a movie that were more than 1 month in those markets.
Try at least to compare the same number of days.
>>64470721
Yeah, Heaths death is the "media attention for whatever reason" I was talking about. Just like the Walker guy got so many people to see Furious 7 despite the fact literally no one would be able to tell you who he was before he died, yet he was treated as a household name.
>>64470721
Heat ded?
>>64470783
It was meant to be just a comparison of what TFA still has to do to overtake Avatar, not to point out "HAHA IT ONLY MADE $20M in Spain Disney BTFO!!!"!!"!
>>64470786
Tons of people saw the FastnFurious movies before his death. People didn´t know him before those movies but after 1 he certainly was a staple.
>>64467497
They have already profited $9.6 billion (estimated) from Star Wars toy sales last year.

>>64466176
Even for low Star Wars standards, movie is so fucking bad. No surprised about that huge flopping.
>>64471061
It's the third best film the series, and the highest grossing by far
You faggots are gonna be so mad when it makes close to $20mil for Monday.
I highly doubt it'll hit single digits for today like the rest of the big earners.
>>64471061
You're delusional. The movie has made the same domestic gross in 17 days that took avatar 72 days.
Further more stars wars is exceeding avatar's foreign gross at the same point in their respective runs.
It has over 10 weeks at the box office still. Probably longer. It will exceed 2 billion easily.
Whether it will topple avatar is unknown but it will certainly come very close.
>>64471307
>Whether it will topple avatar is unknown but it will certainly come very close.
Avatar had literally no drop for the first few weeks. Star Wars is dropping at a lower rate than most films, but it's still dropping. It'll be lucky to beat the worldwide numbers for Titanic.
>>64471360
Star Wars is outpacing avatar by miles though. It took avatar over 70 days to make what Star Wars had made domestically in 17
>>64471413
But it'll taper off before it gets to 2.7 billion. It still has over a billion to go, which it isn't going to make unless China somehow falls in love with the film.
>>64471546
True, can't wait to see how it does in China. Should be interesting to watch. It's going to set a hell of a domestic record by the end of its run.
>>64470577
Combination of right time and right place. It became a worldwide meme and you had to go see it to be cool.
It happened several times already, Frozen comes to mind, and it will happen again. Thing is non of them were particularly amazing in anything, so its really hard to predict when its going to happen next.
>>64471413
>domestically
>>64471307
>not adjusting for inflation
Lurker here
Every thread you idiots argue about sales and your specific projections which is all pulled out of your ass. Is this a meme?
>>64471360
Actually at this point in the run avatar dropped by 50% compared to the preceding week. So avatar dropped quite precipitously as well.
However, even dropping into single digit millions avatar still went on to make another 300 millions dollars from the rest of its run domestically.
I predict a 1.1 billion domestic for star wars. And 1.2 billion foreign + china. So maybe 2.5 billion.
This is conservative though. It is plausible it could make more.
>>64471868
Avatar dropped 9.4% in its third weekend.
>>64471413
What you dont seem to understand is foreign movie theaters are already empty.
>>64471868
Avatar had a really long theatrical run didn't it? Not to mention the theatrical re release.
>>64466495
Asians hate niggers so unless they kill boyaga there fucked in the asian market
>>64470497
4.4 billion.
Okay, so doing just some rudimentary math and seeing what the figures would be.
TFA is set to make close to $174mil ending this Thursday.
Only Avatar would be the closest in it's third week with $94mil and some change.
>>64467182
They recoup some of that advertising budget because every time a pack of oranges has a Darth Vader picture on it Disney gets paid.
>"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" earned an estimated $88.3 million from Friday through Sunday, boosting its total to date to $740.3 million, according to Rentrak. It now ranks second on the all-time domestic box office list, having just eclipsed "Jurassic World," which took in $652.3 million and "Titanic," which made $658.7 million.

No, contrarianism is easy to spot; the posts lack conviction. These people actually believe TFA is flopping
>>64472542
Only money from an American might just split a dollar up once, whereas from a foreigner, that dollar. Or their money that equals to one of our dollars. Would be split up multiple times compared to the dollar that came from the American.
Foreign markets are more so just a bonus round, or a chance to rake in a bit extra. And possibly save face.
Avatar would of made more money if it made that $2bil+ domestic, instead of foreign.
