In response to "I'll say this, if the movie sucks, WOM will kill it and in this age of social media..." by Remlik

Respectfully, you're still disccussing something I'm not. This is about mid-December box office behavior much more than Star Wars 7. -- nm

- I think even people traveling will make it to the theater. - groiny Nov 30, 15:20 14

    - It is a movie. It is not like it is an all day activity. - Spawn Nov 30, 15:27
    - And the thing is, how many of those family plans will include taking kids to see this? - groiny Nov 30, 15:24 7

        Someone mentioned the library copies being checked out? Yes, they are. With a waiting list like you would not believe. -- nm - Spawn Nov 30, 15:29 4
        
        I have plenty of FB friends posting shit about it, that they have tickets to take their kids. - groiny Nov 30, 15:31 3
        
        When my mom said she is going to see it, I realized it was batting for the cycle. -- nm - Spawn Nov 30, 15:32 2
        
        well, I don't know about all that. - groiny Nov 30, 15:34 1
        
        The toys are staggering. We had the tv on while tree decorating and each commercial break had multiple commercials for various Star Wars toys. - Spawn Nov 30, 15:39
        
        oh, it is more than you and I, for sure. - groiny Nov 30, 15:29
  - That is the beauty of it. - Spawn Nov 30, 15:22 3
    - well, it is either confidence or arrogance. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 30, 15:23 2

        you have to think no studio wants to release a behemoth like this in a time when it can lose money. - groiny Nov 30, 15:33
fair enough. I'm saying Star Wars will break those December expectations and history. - Remlik Nov 30, 14:58 17
- the thing is that it can break records and not be as huge as some seem to be predicting. - b. Nov 30, 15:11 14
  - WHile I do think 300 is way to high. I think it will be Jurrassic. How many theaters were running 24 hours a day for it's opening weekend? -- nm - Remlik Nov 30, 15:21 1
    - that is not all theaters. mention of that is what made me look at availability (see below). - b. Nov 30, 15:30
  - Which leads to negative headlines about disappointment, which leads to questions about what's lacking about it... -- nm - David Nov 30, 15:20 11
    - yah, that totally sucks. fwiw, there are still lots of options for tickets for regular times opening night/weekend in my area - nerd central. ;) - - b. Nov 30, 15:25 10
      - 12,000 auditoriums X 225 seats X $10 ticket X 18 shows a day X a 60% occupancy=$291.6M - Remlik Nov 30, 15:34 9
        
        Literally the same threads as 1999. -- nm - David Nov 30, 16:04 1
        
        I deleted this from my post below, but yah - I was going to say that those results are working to get to the goal. -- nm - b. Nov 30, 16:06
        
        in looking at my area there aren't that maximized number of showings - b. Nov 30, 15:55
        
        225? Where we are going has somethign like 440. -- nm - Spawn Nov 30, 15:35 5
        
        Oops. 404. Noblesville has 455. Here is a complete list. -- (link) - Spawn Nov 30, 15:37 1
        
        that list is incomplete for my area, at least. -- nm - b. Nov 30, 16:08
        
        I'm sure it's an average. -- nm - Remlik Nov 30, 15:36 2
        
        I call it a low average. Theaters are not putting it on their smallest screens. - Spawn Nov 30, 15:42 1
        
        fwiw, it's in some very small theaters here, like the whole location is small. (bigger, too, of course.) -- nm - b. Nov 30, 15:57
- Everyone is agreeing it will break December records. The problem is that it has to break them by 144%. -- nm - David Nov 30, 15:04 1
  - It's probably got the biggest appeal across all audiences of any movie. -- nm - toblr.2 Nov 30, 15:11
Oh, I just thought of a second scenario where I might see STAR7 - if my father in law wants to -- nm - Beryllium Nov 30, 14:55 1
- (It opens on his eldest daughter's first birthday) - Beryllium Nov 30, 14:55
