In response to "I forget who asked if Star Wars:TFA would help or hurt other films this weekend. For holdovers, it crushed them." by Inigo

Was that ever more than a theory, though? I never saw evidence in numbers to support it. -- nm - Inigo Dec 20, 09:51 3
- The effect hasn't existed for a long time due to saturation. I wonder what % of Star Wars showings sold out. - Dano Dec 20, 09:56 2
  - I remember seeing it anecdotally, too. But I think any true effect it had on a film's overall box office was cancelled by loss of screens. - Inigo Dec 20, 10:11
  - It doesn't have to be all showings. It can be primetime showings to have the same effect. -- nm - Max Rebo Dec 20, 10:00
