"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" film is set to hit theaters next month, but as early as now it has already hit US$50 million in ticket sales. Star Wars fever have just started.
Online ticket vendor Fandango revealed that the company have already sold $50 million worth of advance ticket for the film "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." An astounding record breaking figure in pre-sales film ticket category. The film "Dark Knight Rises" has previously sold $25 million worth of advance ticket sales in 2012. With this figure, it is easy to guess just how the world is anticipating for the arrival of new generation of Skywalker family and it is even few weeks away before the premier night, Blastr reported.
With all these pre-screening scenario, the expectations runs high. Critics have already made an assumptions that this might push all the way to box office hit history of all time - that is if "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will be able to surpass the $85 million sales for the first 3 day screening which "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" hadaccomplished, Movie News Guide reported.
A figure that can easily be reached by the Skywalker family? Or Perhaps, break the all-time high biggest film opening that "Jurassic World" currently holds. "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will have to push beyond $208 million to snatch that from "Jurassic World." "Jurassic World" is the holder of the biggest weekend opening in any film history. But with few weeks more to go and with all the fans who are silently containing their own excitements, with fever still rising , then we'll see what's going to happen for the winter opening of the movie.
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is set to hit theaters this December 17, in the US.
