It's been a big week for Star Wars. When tickets went on sale on Monday night pretty much every website offering them immediately crashed due to the unprecedented level of demand, and The Force Awakens is already breaking box office records by selling eight times as many presale tickets than previous record holder The Hunger Games. The demand for tickets is in fact so high that screenings have sold out and some people are selling them on eBay at prices ranging from $100 to $1500. The movie is also tearing up social media too, with over 1.1. million Star Wars related Tweets sent out in the span of 24 hours between the 19th and 20th of this month. How will all this to translate to box office numbers though?
Well, analysts believe that Star Wars: The Force Awakens is going to easily sail past the $208.8 million mark with a domestic debut of upwards of $300 million and well over $600 million worldwide (which is also going to top Jurassic World's $524.4 million haul). Those are some incredible numbers, and it's not hard to imagine the movie going even higher than these estimates given the hype which currently surrounds it! Avatar won't hold that record too much longer...
