Having secured the rights to George's outlines for Episodes 7-9 is also very good news.Lucas staying on as a creative consultant means that these news instalments will feel like SW movies.
Also being a fan of Avatar,and seeing that as the 21st Century SW,I'm obviously very happy with the fact that there are now 2 great SyFy franchises to look forward to
I will also predict right now that 2015 will break all BO records:
Star Wars Episode 7 3D
Avatar 2 3D
Avengers 2 3D
The year the Box Office exploded.

way things are going by 2015 it will cost 50% more to sit on them seats meaning records will be easily broken
They measure it all wrong anyway it should be bums on seats not gross take

well,50% may be a bit steep.... of course Inflation needs to be taken into account.
And no,bums on seats are not usually the measure for success for a very simple reason.Nowadays there are many other forms of entertainment that compete directly with cinemas. There's more choice.Of course more people went to see say Gone with the Wind since there was less choice.Adjusted BO will also be higher due to numerous re-releases and what not.

Yes,it's phenomenal after countless re-releases in regular cinemas,1 Dollar cinemas and so on.In a day and age where there were no game consoles,no Home Video,no nothing. When a film came to the cinemas EVERYBODY went. You got to compare like for like.
Sorry,adjusted for inflation Box Office is BS,plain and simple.

but your using statistics I can do that to. What about population growth? what about the rise in standard of living? and then there are demi graphs only people of a certain age will watch films like Gone with the Wind
The very fact it still sits 125th in the US all time charts is nothing short of amazing

A reality TV show about Star Wars 'enthusiasts' on the other hand would get snapped up by the supposed SyFy channel though

Ok,if you feel like using adjusted BO,then knock yourself out. Nobody else in the industry does. Enjoy!

Well, i am in the Industry and most countries in the world count BO take,not bums in seats.FACT.
Your adjusted gross have had countless re-releases.FACT
There were far less alternatives than there are today. FACT
The industry needs a constant stream of new records to hype itself into a frenzy. FACT
We can argue all night long,but what is the point? You are not comparing like for like,despite demographics and population growth.
Nobody is saying Gone with the Wind isn't up there with the all time most successful,but goalposts move.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course I just realised that now the re-scheduling of the 3D re-releases makes sense in light of these new films. By 2015 Return of the Jedi 3D will have been out of theatres not too long ago and the public is in the mood for Episode 7 3D.

So people like you are to blame for the crap films we get today..The reason why I haven't been to see a single film in the cinema this year and haven't bought a new dvd film at all this year.
Of course the industry is not doing so well..boredom has set in.
I laughed at the idea of Rambo 31 once.I'm not laughing now.I'm just too depressed to spend my hard earned cash on crap from Hollywood anymore.

There's always good and bad output from Hollywood and it has been thus since the invention of the motion picture.
