Star Wars record breaking ticket sales

Now that the final Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer has landed, we’ve reached peak Star Wars hype. Harrison Ford’s Han Solo assures them everything they’ve heard is true.

Despite Disney already announcing Ren is played by Adam Driver – and the back of Driver’s head being briefly visible in the trailer – the Internet is going bonkers with speculation, according to Cleveland.com. Additionally, Fandango released a statement revealing that the film has sold eight times as many tickets as 2012’s “The Hunger Games”, the previous record holder.

ANDREW LIMBONG, BYLINE: Of course, people are psyched about the new “Star Wars” trailer – it’s “Star Wars” – but how psyched?

China has a bit of a complicated history with “Star Wars”.

However fans in the United Kingdom were left frustrated after cinema websites struggled to cope with demand when the advanced tickets went on sale on Monday morning at 8am.

Monday Night Football turned into mayhem – but it wasn’t from the action on the field.

IMAX is also doing all it can to ensure that Star Wars fans get the maximum IMAX experience possible. So far, the video trailer has been seen over 21 million times on social media sites like YouTube.

Apart from Disney’s “Star Wars” Marathon Event few theatres in the U.S. also give their fans variety a surprises for watching the “Star Wars” 7 “The Force Awakens”.

One thing that’s important to remember is while “Star Wars” is one of the most well-known global franchises, and has been since 1977, it hasn’t had the same notoriety in China as it has in other markets, certainly in other Asian markets. One seller we reached by phone admitted he scalps sports and concert tickets on occasion, but Star Wars was his first foray into movies.
