fair enough. I'm saying Star Wars will break those December expectations and history.

You bring up a fair point. But I think Star Wars will drag the people out big time.

Responses:

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
