Billion dollars worldwide in nine days. Just nuts.
I liked it...it kept the Star Wars type of theme and didn't try to wow you with with any other kind
of space movie....Harrison Ford had more of a role than I thought he would. I will see the next one as
I was satisfied with this one. I recommend it. I saw it in the standard movie format. I was going to
see it in 3D but I read they only filmed 30% of the movie with projectors that were for 3D format. The other
70% of the movie was digitized 3D. Kind of like Avatar was. They also said the IMAX version of 7 was better than the 3D.

Faster clip than any film in history
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” showed few signs of flagging over Christmas weekend, barreling past the $1 billion mark globally at a faster clip than any film in history.
It’s becoming old hat to recount the various ways that the seventh film in the science-fiction fantasy is vaporizing records, but, familiar or not, “The Force Awakens” once again ground down high-water marks over the holidays, racking up $153.5 million domestically.
That represents both the biggest Christmas holiday result and the best second weekend for a film in history. Domestically, “The Force Awakens” has grossed a mammoth $544.6 million. Worldwide that figure is nearly $1.1 billion.
A lot of people are watching this movie multiple times... that's how it's going to reach #1 all time. I think it's almost a certainty that it will reach that status.
Why would anyone see this more than once lol
Any adult I mean.
Plot was weak as
JJ Abrams is a hack, this was college 101 group project level
how the did this guy get both the Star Trek reboot and Star Wars 7?
I'm glad all the people who paid to see this are 1 billion+ poorer, they deserve worse tbh
Seriously I dont get people who pay more than once to seea movie. I wouldn't even do it for my favorite film.
Also, people are watching it again and again in 3D and IMAX which is like 25-30 bucks a pop.
It's like half that price. But I agree on not seeing my favorite movies at the theater more than once. Of course I buy the good ones on blu-ray to have in my collection though.Seriously I dont get people who pay more than once to seea movie. I wouldn't even do it for my favorite film.

they going to do a han solo spin off movie...lmao milking the cash cow, sooner or later viewers will judge it as total ...only the original trilogy makes sense
To those saying the plot was weak, did you even understand it?
look at his location. that should explain it all. I remember giving away old ass shoes for a shoe drive at school for that c
That's just box office.
Think about all the licensed crap everywhere...
Did you understand that it was basically a star wars remake not a star wars sequel?
The degree to which it ripped off a new hope was ing unnecessary
The only rip off is another death star with another simple weak spot
The rest is just a good mimicry of Lucas' storytelling. People who compare Rei to Luke and emo kid to Vader are clueless
I dont know about Rey and Luke but Kylo Ren was an emo young Anakin. Did you not see the ty sequels or what?The only rip off is another death star with another simple weak spot

Kylo Ren also wants to be Vader so bad is not even funny.
I saw Phantom Menace on day 1, but I felt like it was very average because of the stupid pacing it had. I saw the others eventually, years after release, and liked episode 3 almost as much as Epsiode 6 (which is heavily overrated, tbh).I dont know about Rey and Luke but Kylo Ren was an emo young Anakin.

Anakin was a character until the end of e3, but Kylo is off to a better start and in a different direction. Nobody likes a whiny brat and they did good by letting him get his ass beaten, but I wager his portrayal of a teenage sith is pretty spot on.
Yup, pretty much how Anakin should have been.
Agreed
The Kobe contract
Truth Bomb.
That's so wrong. Ridley only made $100-$300K and she was the real star and she turned in a great performance. The movie would have been just fine without Harrison Ford and they gave him $25M? He probably legitimately didn't want to do it and the money pulled him back in.
Ford wanted Han to die in ROTJ
So they offered him 25 mil for 10 minutes and his wish
ALPHA negotiations
That is Alpha, but it was Beta and selfish when Kobe did it because he did it at the expense of his team when he clearly wasn't worth it.
Ford helped deliver box office gold even if I personally could have lived with him not in it.
On one hand I agree - she should have made more money, but she has way more to go and she will with this success. Han has been a huge character and a huge draw and with all the money they are making he deserves his money.
I read he only made like $40K for the first movie and he seems to hate putting up with Star Wars fans, so this may be backpay in a way. Still too much for his role but I agree he deserved a good size paycheck (at least 8 figures).

Ten figures is in the billions. Don't think Ford deserved that.
