[QUOTE="Ian_C, post: 368134, member: 6115"] Fair enough Pat. And I hope you enjoy it, I really do. I just get frustrated with the unrealistic expectations people are putting on it. It's EXACTLY what people did with the prequels, TPM in particular. I sit here reading the proclamations on how terrific it'll be (and yes, optimism is good - but temper it a bit to avoid disappointment), and all the comments where people seem to be accepting it as fact it'll not only be able to beat Jurassic World for #3 all time (a feat in itself), but to almost double THAT number and topple Avatar? Anything is possible - but it's highly unrealistic. It'll require well over 70% of its box office to come from the rest of the world outside North America, and that's just not seen in ANY of the SW films previously. Remember even ANH only adjusts to $2.8 billion worldwide (less than Avatar), and that was after a more than year long initial run (which NO movie does anymore), and with multiple re-releases. I just want people to breathe, enjoy it if you are looking forward to it, and not expect too much. Ian [/QUOTE]
