Star Wars fans find the movie they’ve been looking for

In San Antonio, Texas, several dozen die-hard fans stood in line at dawn on Thursday to watch a 16-hour marathon of the first six movies in the Star Wars franchise to set the mood for seeing The Force Awakens later in the day.

With $100 million in the bank, the next question is whether The Force Awakens can be the biggest movie opening weekend of all time, passing Jurassic World last June at $208.8 million.

The Death Star-sized Thursday night in the USA should also help to boost the film’s outlook for a record breaking opening weekend as well.

And while she agreed to marry her sweetheart ahead of the big movie premiere, Meg admitted she wasn’t always a Star Wars fan – “No but I love it. It’s such a fun story, and I love him so… it’s flawless”.

The global rollout for the film, made for about $200 million, has already brought in an estimated total of $72.7 million since opening in a handful of countries Wednesday.

“It’s going to break every box office record”.

Imax and 3-D screenings are helping to propel the record gross.

Andrew Porters and Caroline (previously Ritter, now Porters), who hail from Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia, were then treated to a night in the honeymoon suite of a local boutique hotel… after watching, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, of course. The largest was France, where the film earned $5.2 million.

Turns out that this week, we have our best shot a film that can deliver that; at least the best option since what happened in 1999, which we won’t speak of (cough-JarJar-cough). Now, the franchise’s new owner is looking for a return on its investment. Soon to begin was a screening of the film for families who have lost a relative to combat or service-related injuries.

The Minnesota Wild made their own Star Wars trailer, which features things you didn’t know you needed until just now like LIGHT SABER HOCKEY STICKS and LASER PUCKS, which should both be implemented by the NHL once we have sufficient technology. 2009’s Avatar now holds that record with a $2.78 billion tally.
