BOX OFFICE: Tracking For STAR WARS: THE FORCE Awakens Is Currently Off The Charts
Tracking reports for Star Wars: The Force Awakens have started flooding in, and as expected, the movie is looking set to break any number of BO records! How high is it going to go? Hit the jump for the latest mind-blowing figures the J.J. Abrams helmed release is expected to reach.
Who didn't see this coming? Star Wars: The Force Awakens is expected to open so big that tracking data is all over the place right now, with Disney obviously keen to temper expectatons so the movie isn't viewed as a disappointment when it's released next month. Lower projections come in around the $185 million mark, though $210 million is the higher estimate for its opening weekend in North America. It certainly looks set to crush Jurassic World anyway! Well, maybe. "It looks like Avengers did," one rival distribution chief told Deadline, "and it’s the best that tracking can offer." However much Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens with in December, it's clearly going to be a huge hit, so there's no need to worry about the future of the franchise. Will it fare well with critics too though? That remains to be seen for the time being, but the movie certainly looks amazing so far!
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.
