| binary solo said: Completely, 100% disagree. 2 billion is definitely in range, even 3 billion is possible, but not almost 3.5 billion. |
based on what?
simply the ticket preorders? I keep seeing articles about that stat, like bragging how many people have already bought tickets for this movie, but pre the 2000s people didn't preorder movie tickets (generally speaking) because there wasn't an accessible way to do so. we have no real factors about how well Star Wars can do in comparison to some of the classics in terms of ticket sales
some of you underestimate how many tickets even the original Star Wars (A New Hope) has sold over time (multiple releases). This movie would have to do very well for a few months to contend with any of the all time most ticket sold and there isn't really a way to currently guage at all how it will do...
again, preorder tickets just do not mean a lot when we consider that the Phantom Menace had insane hype yet obviously we don't have a preorder comparison since preordering tickets was not really a thing pre-mass-online usage.
Star Wars will be big but to expect it to go beyond 2 billion is jumping to conclusions majorly
