Star Wars at box office — Page 2

Rogue One didn’t beat TFA in any aspect which is expected but here’s a comparison about their performances: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/showdowns/chart/?id=roguevforce.htm

It seems that it doesn’t gross over 900M worldwide. It has performed very well in the US, though. Hard to believe that there are movies like Transformers sequels and Hobbits above it. Well, not hard, but disappointing.

And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

It’s run is far from over. December releases usually have large multipliers. Should easily surpass the $500mil mark in the US and could certainly top a billion worldwide.

My favorite part of that post is how he equated the Transformer and Hobbit movies.

I’ve been checking out how TFA does at the box office and it’ll pass Titanic easily.

No it didn’t. By far.

I’m more interested in it passing Gone With the Wind’s domestic take after adjusting for inflation. That would be the most impressive feat of all.

Well, it got halfway there.

I’m glad you’re here to tell us these things. The post was made a year ago. And it wasn’t by far, it was like 5% difference. Also Titanic got a re-release.

an initial worldwide gross of over $1.84 billion

A 3D version of Titanic, released on April 4, 2012 to commemorate the centennial of the sinking, earned it an additional $343.6 million worldwide

It is disappointing for me to see examples mentioned films above it. Do you understand English? Jeez, this place has become a place for idiotism where people are just picking fights and being argumentive for argument’s sake.

You equated them in a relative sense by putting them in the same category. If you can’t handle the fact that I’m an idiot who doesn’t understand English please report me to a moderator so they can ban me for being an idiot who doesn’t understand English, rather than wasting everyone else’s time pointing out my obvious personal shortcomings. Thank you for your time.

Yes, they are in the same category and the category being “disappointed for me to see them above R1’s box office gross”.

Reported.

RO did poorly in China this weekend and its overseas BO receipts have been below expectation. Obviously it did quite well in the U.S.

TFA set an opening weekend record in China last year, but BO collapsed there in Week 2.

Looks like the Disney movies are fleecing people out of nostalgia dollars, while at least in China where the people in general have no connection to the OT, the reception has not been good.

Has the original trilogy even ever played in China? Rogue One kind of requires you’ve seen the original film more so than TFA.

You mean the stand-alone film?

I don’t know the answer to your question though.

Stand-alone = not part of the episodic saga. How hard is this to understand?
