Star Wars The Force Awakens Has Made $50 Million Before Launch

“I said, ‘All I wanted to do was tell a story of what happened-it started here and it went there”.

Now, the results of all the furious fan-scrambling have been revealed and The Force Awakens has already sold $50 million worth of tickets a month before the movie even opens.

With film experts predicting The Force Awakens will exceed all previous global box-office openings, generating in the region of $615m worldwide, the popularity of the Star Wars franchise – and demand for Star Wars products – continues to grow. “And it’s not much fun”.

“But basically, they weren’t that keen to have me involved anyway”, he said. Disney listened to Lucas’ ideas, but wanted to go another direction.

If you are anxious that all theatres around you are going to be sold out opening night, “while there are widespread reports of sold out theaters in certain locations, and nasty overpriced eBay re-sellers, there are loads of seats still available across the continent”.

As the arrival of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” draws ever nearer, fans have been voraciously consuming the last six movies with increasing excitement.

Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, has finally spoken out about the film in his first official interview.

I think it is safe to say that it will reach that milestone and it looks like it may threaten Jurassic World’s “highest grossing film of 2015” crown. He said he hopes “the force doesn’t get muddled into a bunch of gobbledygood”, according to Variety.

While we’re not taking a bullet for the prequels here, the intense level of criticism that Lucas has been subjected to over the years would test most people, we’d argue.

But just how much money is Star Wars: The Force Awakens going to generate at the box office?

Hamill did also say that shooting this film, especially the scenes in Skellig Michael, Ireland, which he recently returned to for preliminary shooting for Star Wars: Episode VIII, made him feel like the first film, and that surprised him.
