Star Wars TFA breaks $50M in advance ticket sales!
Quote:
“The Force Awakens” is dominating social media, with quadruple the combined Twitter numbers of “Jurassic World” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron”
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has posted a record $50 million in advance ticket sales. And J.J. Abrams‘ film is also dwarfing blockbusters “Jurassic World” and “Avengers: The Age of Ultron” in social-media engagement, suggesting a possible record-breaking opening weekend come December 18.
That’s when Disney plans to release the first installment in Lucasfilm’s sci-fi series in more than a decade on 4,000-plus theaters. There’s no guarantee that the online buzz, revealed Thursday by Moviepoint, will translate into box office when “Star Wars VII” opens. But it seems certain “The Force Awakens” will at least take a run at the record.
That's an amazing #.
