‘Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker’ Expected To Be A Box Office Bonanza
- Thread starter NorthStar
- Start date
No way in hell I’m giving them money. They’ve trashed it all. And this is the movie that has to make money for them to break even I believe. Sure they sold over 4B, but they’ve spent a good billion on production etc.

You are free to put your money anywhere it makes you happy in life.
Movies are like high end audio manufacturers and dealers and designers (filmmakers, music score composers, actors); you put your money where it counts...grows.
* That pic above is disgusting. For the Star Wars fans it's like . . . a nightmare in a galaxy far away. Thank you for your positive participation.
** Adam Driver (Kylo Ren) I bet you wish you could have his bank account ...
Did you read the billions of dollars Disney is making with that franchise investment?
The future of their shareholders and of their children is assured and secured (retirement funds) for the next century and beyond.
Tip: Buy Disney shares for your kids and give them the very best education by sending them to the very best schools and universities. It'll payoff manyfolds in many ways...may the force be with you.

Estimate for yesterday Thursday is $40 million. So $200 million (domestic) is not out of the loop for this weekend. It sure did affect other movies playing @ the theaters yesterday...their numbers certainly dropped significantly. And I bet the same today and all weekend long.
Just came back, and tell you what, this one's by far the best of the three.
After the utter waste of time that was Episode 8, this one really did it for me.

I thought it was brilliant, and with great symbolism (e.g. Luke lifting the X-wing fighter, among others)

Buy low and hold on for the long term. It's a good stock to own for a solid retirement fund portfolio plan. I not only recommend to you, but to all your friends and family too.
I have investments in Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, Disney.
But why am I replying when you already know.
I hope it doesn't cross the politics borderline; it's good economics.

just got back from 'Rise' at the local small town Theater. not the greatest sound and screen there, better at my home. will see it in better theaters before i get the 4k disc at home.
liked it pretty good, references and themes from the series were nicely integrated. enjoyed the satisfying ending. i'm a huge fan. looking forward to playing all 9 episodes at home in the not too distant future.

Is there another movie that continued from one generation to another? (Rocky maybe?). Star Wars franchise is just amazing. Reading these movie threads also triggers my curiosity if movie going is part of the American culture. From what I have seen here there seem to be a lot of American over the age of 50 still going out to movie theatre even when movies are available so easily at home. I don't see people my age and above going out to movie in Bangkok.
Taking the family today.

I love Star Wars . I watched the first one when I was eleven. It made me feel so many great things and it ushered in a new generation of film.

my daughter was born in 1975, my son in 1977, the year the first episode came out 'Star Wars Episode IV; A New Hope'. as a family we watched all those first three as my kids grew up. i recall watching 'Empire Strikes Back' on the first weekend it came out as a family when we were on vacation. my Son had a Millennium Falcon toy he liked a lot. it was the best time of my life, i'll never forget it. so it was like the 60's rock of my youth, it got locked into my personal culture. i'm no movie expert, i want to be entertained. i loved Star Trek on TV in the early 60's too.

It's doing good so far away...estimated $90 million yesterday (Thursday & Friday combined).
Sure the movie critics are less generous with this one than the previous two, but film critics are not always right.

Tang, in Bangkok people around the age of 50 and above what's their most popular pastime in the evenings after supper?
Movies are certainly a big part of the culture in North America...like football, basketball and baseball. Lots of balls in America.
Canadians like hockey, tennis and golf; pucks and balls.
Music and films? Dancing ballrooms, dark rooms.
STAR WARS...the dark side versus the light side (sci-fi is big in America...in general).
Dear Mike,
I am really looking forward to take my kids out to movie as you did. I used to go out to movie a lot in younger years then my lifestyle changed after got married 9 years ago. With kids growing up I want to enjoy my time with them. I am now focusing on my health so that I will be in a good shape to take part in their activity growing up. You mentioned quite a few times about your son helping you in audio and also showed us his adventures exploring the world. It reflected such a good bond you have with your kids. A good role model for me. Anyway this is Bob's movie thread. I am steering off course.
Kind regards,
Tang
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_filmsNine main Star Wars films, including this latest one which just started in theaters.
One animated one and two anthology ones.
* Put them in the Star Wars Blu-ray (& 4K/3D) movie section, if you have enough shelves in your film library room. But yeah I know what you mean when running out of space ...
It's similar to musicophiles with large LP's collections.
** Some films and music recordings I have to go in the basement.
I bet I'm not alone. For all my Star Wars films on Blu-ray no difficulty for me.
But it's not the same for other more obscure films.
The 4K Blu-rays are all together, and same for the 3D ones as they pretty much take precedence over the regular Blu-rays. DVDs forget it, the vast majority (95%) are all in the basement.
Multiple BR copies (oldest) are also in the basement.
VHS tapes? I just don't remember which boxes ...
But there are Star Wars ones ...Similar threads
