BOX OFFICE: Early Tracking Points To A Record Smashing Opening For STAR WARS
Well, you saw this coming, right? Very early tracking figures are in for J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and it's expected to completely decimate the records broken by Jurassic World earlier this year. Hit the jump for all the latest details...
With still a month to go until the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it may seem to early for tracking data, but the always reliable Collider has a report up with some very interesting figures. After record ticket sales last month, it should come as no surprise to learn that the highly anticipated J.J. Abrams helmed release looks set to open with $225 million, a figure which puts it miles ahead of both Jurassic World ($208 million) and The Avengers ($207 million). As the site points out, this is a very modest prediction, but with zero competition on IMAX screens and screenings night and day, the Force is clearly strong with this one...stay tuned to CBM for updates!
Starring original cast members Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker and franchise newcomers, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, Lupita Nyong’o and Max von Sydow, Star Wars Episode VII is set to be released on December 18th, 2015.
