Let Disney have their movie but plenty of people thought this would beat Avatar and even make $3B. I guess the bad/weak story prevented it from having the legs required to do so.

The hatred realy knows no bounds on you huh ? That pesky "bad/weak story" making this movie become the highest grossing movie on the history of USA realy sucked for Disney I believe. Seriously, the things we read on the internet sometimes...

And for the record it had a stronger weak than Avatar did, it had a weaker weekend but it made around 20M more money in total on its 3rd weak than Avatar did. And for like the 10th time, if this movie was follwing the same model as Avatar on the box office (wich is a very wierd model that no other movie ever followed) it would have passed 1 billion on USA by now and thats not realistic at all, no movie that open the way FA did will ever have a hold like Avatar had. In fact Avatar only had the hold it had cause it opened with kinda low numbers, so it stayed somewhat flat flat, otherwise it too would have dropped a lot.

Only reason FA doesnt beat Avatar is because Star Wars is big worldwide but not as big as in the USA, and the exchange rates are being very disfavorable for it WW.

 

The marketing and inflation made the movie become the highest grossing movie in the US, not its quality.

It also had weaker weekdays in its 3rd week than Avatar.

Also, the Chinese Yuan exchange rate is more favourable to TFA than Avatar - and that's on top of the Chinese growth in cinema. As is the GBP and the Australia dollar.
