I don't see the point in pushing SW into 2016. Sure, having #1 two years in a row is good, but having the top 2 films in 2015

is good, too.

And I think SW has a good chance of beating Avengers 2.

I agree on IM, you have 30 years worth of reasons why it can beat A2. - groiny Aug 6, 10:47 19
- Any info out there on whether we're getting a trailer sometime this fall? Disney must have a big holiday movie of some sort it can attach it to. -- nm - Shaun Aug 6, 11:08 4
  - Wing Commander 2* - David Aug 6, 11:17 2
    - Still love that game. Horrible movie though. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 6, 11:23
    - *golf clap* -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 6, 11:18
  - Big Hero 6 would be my guess. -- nm - Inigo Aug 6, 11:09
- Avengers earned $623 million and was passionately loved. That is a huge gap for Star Wars to overcome. - David Aug 6, 10:58 12
  - Sure. But that 30 years of waiting for something good, plus all the fans of the animated/book/comics stuff, I think gives it - TWuG Aug 6, 11:02 10
    - That's revisionist history. People applauded before, during and after the trailers for Phantom Menace. -- nm - David Aug 6, 11:18 9
      - had the last 3 movies never came out, you would think SW was a lock to take the title. - groiny Aug 6, 11:22 8
        
        Yes and no. Kids loved them, so they will be jazzed to see more. Adults hated them and eagerly await redemption. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 6, 11:40 1
        
        I was hoping others thought this as well. The No-Lucas factor will bring a fair number of adults back in the fold. -- nm - zork Aug 6, 11:45
        
        those 3 movies, kids at that point loved them. -- nm - Remlik Aug 6, 11:36 1
        
        Exactly. And they now are of age to buy tickets on opening weekend. -- nm - zork Aug 6, 11:39
        
        Well, *I* wouldn't but some would. :P -- nm - David Aug 6, 11:23 3
        
        JOSS WHEDON. -- nm - dayvid Aug 6, 11:27 2
        
        He is better than Zach. -- nm - David Aug 6, 11:32 1
        
        That's like saying a cold beer on a hot summer day is better than getting castrated. -- nm - Shaun Aug 6, 11:36
  - how many years apart were they? - groiny Aug 6, 11:02
- To your IM: Absolutely. If the trailers have even a touch of the prequelness about them, that'll hurt. - TWuG Aug 6, 10:50
re: IM, I'd say they did something terribly wrong if SW7 did not beat Avengers2 -- nm - zork Aug 6, 10:47
#1 back to back years is worthless, the only reason to delay would be if you felt one would eat into the BO of the other. -- nm - Ender Aug 6, 10:47
