So 6 millions more than the forecast right ? Not bad at all considering the New Year's  Holliday. Well Avatar wont be the number box office in the USA after todays numbers come out.

You created and maintain the thread, which earns you the right to dictate content.

It would be nice if we could stay on topic, rather than getting chirped at by fans of other films.

As per my post a few pages back, they are expecting to make $9.6b from the movie / licensing / advertising.  That is revenue, and not profit, but it alone easily justifies the $4b price Disney paid for Lucasfilm.

I agree in that the price seems low now, but 4 years ago when there was no hype, and the highest grossing Star Wars movie was The Phantom Menace (with box office revenues of $1.027b), and the last Indiana Jones movie wasn't very good, it probably didn't seem like a bad deal.

I read somewhere Lucas kept part of the rights on the toys, so he gets 4 billion, doesnt have to pay atention to haters anymore and still get a share of Disneys sucess reviving the hype. Id take that deal.

With it's number getting adjusted up, it just beat American Sniper for the biggest weekend of January.

The movie opens on China tomorrow right ?

Lots of records shattered, it's quite impressive. It's even crawling up in the unadjusted chart, #21 at the moment.

That's for all those non-believers claiming it's making tons of money just because tickets are more expensive nowadays.

It's still very far from the #1 spot.
