In a video uploaded to the official Star Wars YouTube channel, die-hard fans are seen chatting with Omaze staff, unaware that the 73-year-old actor is waiting out of frame to surprise them. Is there any hint that will amaze the stars and people behind Star Wars making such as fate in terms of box office awards. IMAX theatres have sold out screenings and demand continues so it is safe to say this is by no means the final figure for the out of this world pre-sales. At the very least, The Force Awakens seems destined to eclipse the US$85 million bow of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey to set a new benchmark for December openings.
Ahead of the much-anticipated release of The Force Awakens next month, a range of exclusive Star Wars artwork is available for fans of The Force at Castle Fine Art, on Grey Street.
Talk about Binks and the criticisms that the character inspired led the director to discuss why he chose to “break up” with the “Star Wars” franchise. It’s looking like TFA is going to beat that record before opening weekend even gets here.
Before jumping into “Star Wars”, know you have plenty of options but you should try Supremacy first. Will it become the fifth film of 2015 to gross over $1 billion? J.J. Abrams’ film will hit United Kingdom cinema screens on Thursday, December 17 followed by theatres in the U.S. on Friday, December 18.
Jurassic World reached $1 billion in just thirteen days and that is another record that may be under threat when The Force Awakens is finally released. The chatter now is that “Force Awakens” could top it, with generous estimates predicting a $300 million debut. Despite speculation that Luke has gone to the dark side or, in a more far-fetched claim is the true identity of new villain Kylo Ren, Hamill has no plans on spilling the beans.
