| StarOcean said: Hmmm anything is possible I guess  Wasn't the Phantom Menace like a $1bil movie? With all the hype getting pumped out and the nostalgia being everywhere I could see it reach $2.5 bil max. However, if it does break $3.5bil then I will be very impressed |
do you have any idea how much hype there was for the Phantom Menace? inflated dollar wise I am not so sure that the current Star Wars will beat Phantom when adjusted...
people keep over inflating the talk about how many tickets the movie has sold in preorders but bear in mind 20+ years ago people weren't preordering movie tickets online so there isn't much of a comparison in that regard
This movie will not come close to Gone With the Wind, even Avatar (which did pretty insane) didn't come close
whether or not it will go over 2 billion worldwide or beat the original Star Wars in terms of tickets sold will really depend on word of mouth and reviews. It might be able to if it's a good movie but if it ends up getting negative reactions like the prequels then it won't come close. you can't base too much on fanboys swarming and preordering tickets to the movie
