‘Star Wars’ expected to crush second weekend record
First it was the new Star Wars movie.
“Star Wars” will be joined at the box office this weekend by Jennifer Lawrence’s “Joy”, Will Smith’s “Concussion”, and “Daddy’s Home”, a comedy featuring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg.

We estimate Disney’s market share in the global box office to remain steady around 11% over our forecast period, after jumping from 9.5% in 2014 to around 10.5% in 2016, primarily due to the success of the Star Wars series.
He said adding the film to the best picture nominees was considered to be “the best compromise in the best interests of the movie, members and our audience”. It’s not just about feeling seven years old again, but feeling seven and re-experiencing just a touch of our lives back then with the family that raised us and loved us and made us feel secure.
If you’re still with us, you’ll know that Han Solo is killed by his son Kylo Ren in The Force Awakens.
“I had thought Han’s story and Leia’s story was just about them coming back together”. Can’t wait to see more interactions between BB8 and R2 in future sequels. Now it looks like the efforts have paid off. Reuters microblog Sina Weibo showed that since the start of December, Star Wars has gained popularity, having been mentioned about 700,000 times, outpacing big Hollywood movies released this year.
