    517 MILLION dollars and the weekend isnt even over yet. WTF???

    I just heard a report that the new Star Wars has passed half a billion dollars ...and the weekend isn't even over! When this thing is done it might make Avatar's amazing earnings seem minor.

    How much do you forecast?? I'm thinking 2.5 billion....maybe 3 total....maybe more...maybe WAY more...depends if it gets decent popular reviews. Seems to so far.

    Total run for Star Wars brand, including a shitload for all the action figures and other gear.... 40 billion and counting. This Christmas' action-figure and all the other gear sales?...add a few more big big ones to that number.

    It sorta reminds me of that YouTube 'Gangnam Style' video in terms of outrageous numbers (2.48 Billion views so far...how much is "OfficialPSY" making off THAT???).

    Avatar was a terribly obvious metaphor and an awful movie. Expensive doesn't make it good. Avatar basically is a knock to our intelligence, as they have to dumb down a "veiled" message to that point and Americans think it's "deep". What a joke.

    I don't look down on them, there are suckers long before and long after star wars that'll give it up for trivial stuff; I'm jealous.

    Wish I could come up with something the masses would hand over money like water on.

    The movie was fuckin epic, and it's nice to have something in pop culture that isn't trash.

    I can play the video games with my kids, watch the movies with them, made Xmas shopping super easy.

    At the end of the day, Star Wars is wholesome family entertainment. Keep that cash machine rolling, and fuck the haters.
