None of these are bad movies, though your opinion regarding Minions might vary based on:Ģ. Jurassic World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Furious 7, and Minions all made a billion dollars worldwide.
Instead, what we’ve seen develop is the greatest disconnect ever between the amount of money a movie earns and the impact it has on the Zeitgeist. But most of all, it seems strange because none of the movies that came out over the last six months made much of an impression. It seems strange because, thanks to broken tracking and a number of flops, the industry didn’t expect it, meaning that the mood never quite went from surprised to properly triumphant. It seems strange because, having ceded cultural ground to television, movies feel less important than ever before. The movie industry just had its second-best summer ever. In the much-altered entertainment landscape of 2015, what does being the biggest movie of all time even mean?Īs much as it feels like this entire year was just a countdown to December 18, that was hardly the case. But really, the question of how huge Star Wars is is a matter of semantics. When you factor in overseas gross, you’re looking at a movie that’s tracking to make $3.5 billion worldwide, a number that would annihilate Avatar’s $2.7 billion.
(How big is $300 million? That’s what Attack of the Clones made over its entire domestic run.)Įven more conservative forecasts have Jurassic World’s $208.8 million record firmly in reach, and the lowest you’ll really see anyone go is about $170 million - and even that’s mostly Disney insiders trying to manage expectations. have already set one record, with more than $50 million in advance tickets already sold, and analysts are saying that, on the high end, Star Wars’ opening weekend could make $200 million, $250 million, or even the still-pretty-unimaginable $300 million domestic mark.
Three weeks out from its release, the topic on everyone’s minds isn’t whether Star Wars: The Force Awakens can be the biggest movie of all time. None of them will involve midi-chlorians. To provide a necessary outlet for our abundant excitement, we’ve assembled another Vulture Advent Calendar - in this case, 25 Star Wars –themed stories, one per day until Christmas. You may have heard that the Force will be awakening on December 18.
