devores 382 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I am not on the fence about the midnight showing. I will be there (unless I somehow score a way to see it earlier).I also liked Big Hero 6.TCDI have seen every Star Wars movie on opening day with the exception of episode 2. I was deployed at the time and wasn't able to see it opening day. I was deployed for episode 1s release date as well, but Lucas built us a nice state of the art theater at our base in Saudi Arabia so he could release the movie over there for the troops. So I skimmed by on that one. Tri-Circle-D, Onkel Hans and BradyBzLyn...Mo 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Disney closed up 1.1% at $108.1 on Thursday. Shares had been trading around $107 before news of the trailer hit and were ticking a few cents higher in after-hours trade. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-disneys-stock-after-the-new-star-wars-trailer-made-its-debut-2015-04-16 Link to post Share on other sites

You were the one who encouraged me to have them watch Hyperspace Hoopla at one of the Star Wars Weekends at Hollywood Studios. At the time, they had not seen any of the movies (and I had only seen a couple). We loved Hyperspace Hoopla, and saw it every chance we could after that (until last year, that is ) Fast forward to today, and they have seen all of the movies several times. One of them texted me a link to the new trailer yesterday, before the link was posted here. They're geeked for the new movie. TCD BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The Troll 67 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I think we Star Wars fans should temper our enthusiasm. JJ Abrams is known for doing really, really cheesy stuff, like "Super 8" and the really cheesy Star Trek reboots. And "Big Hero 6" sucked. Bad. Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Big Hero 6 was a huge hit in my household too.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 From Entertainment Weekly, it sounds like there will be no new trailer coming at D23 as previously reported... No new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens at Disney's D23 fan conventionby Anthony Breznican • @BreznicanPosted August 11 2015 — 3:31 PM EDT It’s okay, R2. The new trailer will be here soon. Soon. But if you’re waiting for a new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer at Disney’s D23 fan convention this weekend … sorry, you are going to have to keep waiting.The movie, which opens Dec. 18, will be part of Saturday’s presentation of live-action films, but it will not feature new clips, Entertainment Weekly has learned from a reliable source. In July, we told you that the Lucasfilm Comic-Con panel also wouldn’t have a trailer, and it didn’t, but it featured a behind-the-scenes video that was almost as tantalizing. This time, whatever revelations may be in store at the Anaheim fan gathering will not involve seeing sections of the movie. For doubters, I may as well reveal that “reliable source”… “It is true, we are showing no footage, behind the scenes or otherwise,” director J.J. Abrams tells EW. “In the fall, there’ll be a trailer.” He knows fans are eager for another look at the film and promises to bring something compelling to the Disney conventioneers. “We’re thrilled to go to D23 and meet the fans, but it’s a tricky thing to try and rush [footage] for a convention or preexisting event that would, of course, be fun to show something at,” he said. While we had Abrams, we asked for a status update on the movie. “I’m still editing and we’re working on refining the cut, but it’s incredibly fun to see the movie come together,” Abrams said. “You realize certain things that you don’t need, certain things you can pull out.” http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/11/star-wars-force-awakens-trailer-disney-d23 Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Disney and Lucasfilm to monopolize IMAX screens for a month for Star Wars: The Force AwakensBy Adam Poltrack — August 26, 2015 Size matters not a lot. J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens doesn’t deal in small potatoes, or anything small for that matter — least of all screens. Disney and Lucasfilm have reportedly co-opted the majority of the world’s IMAX large-format screens for the first month of the movie’s run in theaters. You read that right: The first full month. One movie, four weeks, 375-400 domestic screens, 400+ foreign screens — the force is strong with this one. The takeover will begin December 18, 2015, as the next chapter of the Star Wars saga looks to take its place among the highest-grossing films in galactic history. There’s no exact screen count yet, since IMAX will put the finishing touches on a few theaters before then, but the final tally isn’t all that important. Rest assured, Abrams & Co. will have their targeting computers set on another number: $44.2 million. That was the gross total that Jurassic World posted during its IMAX opening-weekend and it’s the record-holder by a wide margin. IMAX Entertainment CEO Greg Foster remains tight-lipped on the specifics, but sounded bullish on the film. He told THR, “Star Wars: Episode VII is the ultimate crossover movie — it crosses over to everyone.” Surprisingly, the deal Foster just inked is not totally unheard of for IMAX. The company made a similar commitment to The Hobbit in advance of its December 2012 release, but expectations are higher this time around. While many movie fans will be excited at the prospect of watching (and perhaps re-watching) The Force Awakens in IMAX, this does leave some big-ticket movies out in the cold and without the extra revenue that premium-priced IMAX tickets can generate. Most notably Warner Bros. In the Heart of the Sea and Alejandro González Iñárritu’s The Revenant. The former hits theaters on December 11, 2015, and the latter is set for a January release. Tough luck for those films. Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens looks primed to swallow up everything in its path. http://www.digitaltrends.com/movies/star-wars-the-force-awakens/ Link to post Share on other sites

It's not even coming out for 3 more months. And, they apparently expect people to go nuts and buy up all of this new merchandise in the first week of September? I think someone is way overestimating how much demand there is for this stuff. We'll soon see if I'm wrong about that. TCD Link to post Share on other sites
