The movie’s quality looks to be a driving factor.
Oscar Isaac revealed to GQ Magazine that the best pilot in the galaxy wasn’t always meant to stick around for the entirety of Force Awakens. After this had gone on for too long, the theater stopped the screening and promised to rewind the film back to where the problems had begun.
“The Force Awakens” is only the third movie in history to open at over $200 million, besides its immediate rival “Jurassic World” and “The Avengers”. While the new Star Wars films are produced by Lucasfilm under the umbrella of The Walt Disney Studios headed by Chairman Alan Horn, Disney XD just wrapped up its second season of the animated series Star Wars Rebels.
Thank goodness for that, because otherwise we wouldn’t get this beauty of a gif from Force Awakens. Only four weekends in 2015, in fact, surpassed that first Force Awakens haul, on the strengths of Jurassic World, Fifty Shades of Grey, and, all the way back in January, American Sniper.
To put these numbers in perspective, the Facebook discussion during the 5-days since The Force Awakens rolled into theaters was larger than the discussion over the preceding month.

Q: Star Wars is famous for its massive, dedicated fan base. Plus, the entertainment vehicle remains a big seller, whether it takes the firm of content for the Disney Channel or network and cable television or an old-fashioned VCR or a DVD or a Blu-Ray disc or a streaming enterprise.
The latest “Star Wars” also shattered records domestically. Disney now has the same popularity potential. George Lucas congratulated Titanic when it passed Star Wars.
