$362,186,406 (domestic) + $363,000,000 (international) = $725,186,406 (worldwide)

I’m not exactly saying “no unaltered, no sale.” I am saying it would take the unaltered versions for me to spend $250.

I’ll definitely pick up The Rise of Skywalker in 4K when it is released, and I may upgrade individual titles.

For reference:

I used to get into debates online about things, but there is just no point. I’ve had multiple experiences where I have given someone verifiable scientific information from multiple reliable sources regarding an objective subject, but people will just reject what they don’t want to be true no matter what, and will believe whatever they want despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Orwell was right, objective truth is dead. So debating something subjective like a movie makes even less sense. I pop into online threads and take in whatever joy I can find when i encounter it, and skip over the hate. I love The Rise of Skywalker. I had one of my very best experiences going to the marathon. I can’t wait to get it on disc. Your mileage may vary.

I love The Rise of Skywalker. I was deeply moved several times while watching it. I love the action and how much it adds to the Star Wars universe. I can’t wait to own it.

Congrats to rocknroll41 for predicting the closest (175m).

$250 is a lot of money. Do I want it? Sure, but for that price and it not including the unaltered versions, I’ll just watch my Harmy discs and stream 4K HDR version from Disney+ when I want. Yes, and actual disc would be better, but not $250 better, at lest not for me. Now if it had the unaltered versions, it would be a definite purchase no matter what.

FINAL LIST:

‘Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker’ Advance Ticket Sales Now Pacing With ‘Last Jedi’

https://deadline.com/2019/12/star-wars-rise-of-skywalker-advance-ticket-sales-fandango-last-jedi-1202812274/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

“Advance ticket sales for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker are pacing with 2017’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi at the same point in their Fandango cycle. We heard from other exhibition sources that a $200 million-plus opening is within reach. Also working greatly in favor of business this weekend: 15% of K-12 schools are out on break Friday, with another 79% colleges. Those numbers jump to 96% and 97%, respectively, by Monday.”

Maybe he was there and they edited him out.

‘Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker’ Eyes $450M+ Global Debut
https://deadline.com/2019/12/star-wars-rise-of-skywalker-global-opening-box-office-1202810995/

“Disney will ring out its $10 billion-plus global 2019 with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, in what is expected to be a $450M global opening.”

“The expectation is at least $200M+ in U.S./Canada (with an asterisk — read on) and $250M abroad.”

“Stateside advance ticket sales are on par with Last Jedi four days before opening and indicate a $200M opening despite the fact that tracking has the J.J. Abrams-directed ninth-quel at $175M.”

350M domestic opening? 😄

Hype and box office talk will pick up considerably when people start tweeting after the red carpet premiere tonight.

I think expectations will increase dramatically.

Just a few more days to get your predictions in! Join the fun!

Are we a dying breed? Will this all be lost like tears in rain?

Hate leads to suffering.

Well he at least asked about it.

So what are these reasons he doesn’t understand? Lucas preventing it confirmed?

Only 10 more days!

I’ve heard 4 out of 5 dentists recommend Trident gum.

Yes, it’s all just for fun, but people are naturally going to critique other predictions and how people arrived at their conclusions. Not all sources and methods are equal in my opinion. Of course none of us really knows, we haven’t even seen the movie yet and don’t know how good it is (or isn’t). I just think it’s fun to guess.

I really wish they would have invited him to the 40th anniversary panel at Celebration in Orlando.
