also, $250m worldwide in 3 days. Disney will probably make back 1/4 of its cost to buy Lucasfilm in about a week -- (link) - jar jar trump Dec 19, 08:53 10
- But that's revenue, not profit. I hate when they use that measurement of how cheap Lucasfilm was. -- nm - iSpam Dec 19, 08:54 9
  - otoh, that's just the films. add in all the merchandising etc. and it's still dirt cheap -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 19, 08:58
  - It's a silly point anyway. The merchandising sales of $5 billion this holiday season is the story. -- nm - David Dec 19, 08:58 1
    - I agree but don't mix revenue and profit! -- nm - iSpam Dec 19, 09:00
  - I still wonder why the valuation was so bad compared to awful tech cos -- nm - Beryllium Dec 19, 08:57 5
    - Consider how little value it would have if Lucas still ran it -- nm - General Zeit Dec 19, 11:41

    - 100% of 10 billion is nothing if Disney can't actually afford to pay you that - jar jar trump Dec 19, 09:00
    - I don't think the valuation was a protracted negotiation. He just wanted to sell to Disney. -- nm - David Dec 19, 08:58 1
      - Guess he really needed those zebra burgers. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 19, 09:00
That on its own makes it the biggest December opening ever, yes? -- nm - TWuGbacca Dec 19, 08:30 1
- Ayup. -- nm - Tim Dec 19, 08:31
But that was includes Thursday, right? -- nm - iSpam Dec 19, 08:26 7
- So it's 57/63.5. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 19, 08:45 5
  - Jurassic World had a bigger "true" Friday. That...might be important. -- nm - Tim Dec 19, 08:58 4
    - I get it $63.4 million for jurassic world''0 -- nm - Inigo Dec 19, 09:05 1
      - So, almost exactly the same. TFA would be 63.5 if the estimate is right. -- nm - Inigo Dec 19, 09:06
    - Yup, the only surprise right now is that it's 120 instead of 100. - David Dec 19, 08:59 1
      - *laughing* -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 19, 09:00
- Yes -- nm - Roger More Dec 19, 08:28
