Year-end holiday advanced ticket sales for Star Wars: The Force Awakens have crossed $100 million, which includes $50 to $60 million in sales in advanced ticket sales for the opening weekend. This supposedly is some historic shit in Hollywood. There is worry though that success may not last because December is not typically known for huge opening with everyone too busy mauling each other for a TurboMan doll.
I know I won’t be seeing the movie the day it comes out. Hell, I might not see it until the third week but that’s because I don’t enjoy being around whack jobs. But you can bet your ass I will see it.
If anyone forgot, George Lucas sold the franchise for a crisp $4 billion in 2012, and it’s said that the newest installment could gross upwards of $2.8 billion worldwide. Not bad….
Disney ($DIS) is currently up 0.85% pre-market.
Other names to keep an eye on are Regal Entertainment Group ($RGC), AMC Entertainment Holdings ($AMC), Carmike Cinemas ($CKEC), and Electronic Arts ($EA) who released their Star Wars: Battlefront video game.
