I'm the same way man XD then again, we are on a website about tracking numbers so maybe it's just an odd interest we have v.v I've seen it twice now and now all I want to do is see how well it does





Hopefully it beats Avatar! Wonderful FW, almost unbelievable!



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I am 100% positive that this beast will break $2 billion.

 

Godddd I hope it doesn't beat Avatar. I also hope it doesn't beat Titanic. It probably will, though, because Titanic is already 20 years old as opposed to Avatar being just 7. Titanic in actuality has probably over $4 billion worldwide. Oh well, it was a nice run for Titanic...hasn't been topped for a GIGANTUM 20 years.

If Star Wars makes it to the top it won't last because Avatar 2 will destroy it.

This movie will get 2 billion easily. Im sure it will beat Titanic.

 

Not in terms of ticket sales, though. Star Wars has to beat 135 million tickets sold. In comparison, Phantom Menace did only 84 million. This is only including domestics.

But more importantly can it beat the piece of crap called Avatar. 2.7 billion

 

If Avatar is a pice of crap then so is Star Wars The Force Awakens. Avatar is FAR better! And it BETTER NOT beat Avatar. I'm counting the days....

Just found this thread.  Did you actually say that you think Avatar was better than SWTFA?  Have you seen SWTFA?  I think that Avatar was a good show, especially for its time(the 3d elements).  But, Avatar doesn't really have the "watch again" and enjoy it quality to it.  

I saw SWTFA the day it came out and plan to take my kids this weekend.  It has a much more long term watchability.  With that said, I only thin that SWTFA is only a 7 out of 10 movie whereas Avatar was a 5 or 6.





It is near the end of the end....

After watching the movie i want to see a spin off where chewy is looking for a map to C3PO's original arm.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Titanic came out 18 years ago and considering it was topped by avatar it's reign at the top lasted 12 years. Also avatar came out 6 years ago not 7. Both movies released in December

There are two movies that held the top spot for longer

Birth of a nation 25 years.

Gone with the wind 24 though 23 consecutive then one more after a release. And counting inflation Gone with the wind has never been topped.

How did you get that number of ticket ? Do you know a website with number of tickets solds/admissions and not $ grossed for box office (domestic or/and international market) ? :)
