Look like the movie is going to break the record for the biggest opening weekend ever. It already broke the opening day record previously held by Spider-Man 3. It made $66.4 million. It also broke the record for midnight showings, it took in $18.5 million. It's part of the $66.4 million.
Chances are that it will make around $160-$175 million this weekend beating Spider-Man 3's record at $151 million.
Higher $$$ per ticket vs how many people bought = I think.... Stars Wars is most popular.
Good Old Day VS Today
In 1960: thousand seats per room and 1 or 2 different movie per threater
Today: down numbers of seats per room vs +24 different rooms per threater
In old day: Dinsey's cartoon (Snow White, Peter Pan, Bambi and some title) film always re-released film at threater for every 7 years.
Today: Never see any re-release Dinsey's cartoon film at threater. Just VCR, DVD and Blu-Ray - re-released every 7 years.
In old day before 1980's - they did not market movies for VCR / Beta Machine
Today: they market movie for DVD/Blu-ray players
In old day: I remembered that they always released new film on Wednesday. One or two new film(s) per week.
Today, they released 2 or 3 or 4 new films per week on Friday unless special day (Wed or Thursday night)
In old day: they do not have any piracy
Today: people sell illegal DVD at corner street or download. (that's sad news)
