The helmer was joined by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and head of development Kiri Hart for the event, held at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Hidalgo revealed that the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, which debuted on Thursday, was viewed 88 million times worldwide in the first 24 hours.
The old record was, of course, the first TFA teaser with 40 million.
saying the fast + furious franchise is bigger is a joke but ff7 is doing really well. think it's already crossed 1bn worldwide
nonetheless the hype for this is incredible. star wars done correctly for the first time in three decades is a massive draw. with more trailers, hype, and hopefully great reviews in the end to come this should do really well too
even a run of three ****-average films couldn't destroy ha
Even considering the **** quality of AOTC, ROTS sold well and TPM is still one of the highest grossing films of all time despite **** reviews. Star Wars always thrives.
This is going to be huge.
