Poll Avengers: Endgame vs Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker global box office
- Thread starter ITDUDE
- Start date
The trailer, the title, the direction star wars grosses are going.
I got none of that from the trailer or the title, TLJ was the highest grossest film of 2017 and JJ has said that TLJ was in line where he had wanted the story to go. So I doubt Rey's parents will suddenly become Luke and somebody or Han and Leia. It's even hinted at in TFA.
It seems to be that this is saying that Rey's parents, the people she wanted to go back to Jakku for are never coming back. But she can have a sort of surrogate or chosen family with her friends in the Resistance and Luke as a sort of father figure.
Luke's arc is set up by JJ and was in George Lucas' initial pitch. Luke was always going to be a depressed hermit, no matter who made it.
I don't think the movie is going to be about Luke raising from the dead. More a new Jedi order made in Luke's image and taught by Rey, who could be called Skywalkers in his honor. I'm pretty sure Force Ghost Luke will be a presence at least trying to appeal to Kylo Ren or maybe giving guidance to Rey.
Also we know Rose is going to be in it, the actress was at SWCC and got a huge applause.
I'm am confident on the first one of Luke being a Force Ghost (that whole more powerful thing) and so happy to see Rose coming back!
I got the idea from Yoda that Jedi are sort of conduits for the Force and the body is just a shell, crude matter as he calls it, so a Jedi shedding their body has no affect on them. The body may even limit them because without it, their full abilities are unleashed. We just never saw this because it wasn’t important to Luke’s story and they probably didn’t have the budget.
I’m pretty sure Sir Alec Guinness only wanted to show up for one day of filming too.

Avengers: Endgame at $1.66B already. Should pass $2B and both Avengers: Infinity War and Star Wars: The Force Awakens during this weekend, with a slight chance to also catch Titanic for #2 all time. (current all time global box office)

I can't believe the speed at which this movie is racking up the cash. It's entirely deserved though. I'm only a casual watcher of these movies - I haven't seen quite a few of them (Black panther, thor 2 and 3, captain marvel) but I've seen all the avengers flicks on the big screen. These last two films really have raised the bar for the summer blockbuster as far as I'm concerned. There really is a sense when you watch them that they almost appear to have unlimited budgets and it's all up there on screen. The cinematography and visuals alone are simply incredible to behold in my view. That they are both funny and hugely entertaining along with all the build up in the other films and it's easy to see why they're so successful.
Isn't that kind of a given at this point, though?
- we hear him speaking in the trailer
- we saw him disappear
- we know the other ghosts had had the ability to contact him
One would think. But, the way the reactions are to "Luke's dead!" after TLJ I'm not taking anything for granted.
With Friday's takes, Endgame is now at $500 million domestically and just shy of $2 billion worldwide (at $1.91 billion). It beat The Force Awakens' record for fastest to $500 million by a whole two days. Box Office Mojo predicts a $150-153 million second weekend, which would just barely break The Force Awakens' record at $149 million.
At this rate, I'll be surprised if it doesn't reach Avatar's worldwide record, especially since it's already only $130 million shy of Infinity War's final take.

Ok, I have more detail for you then. The emperor laugh - Johnson stated that his goal was to take the franchise FORWARD. The emperor is clearly BACK. The repairing of Renn's mask - he is supposed to be stepping out of the shadow of Vader. Except nah, he likes the shade. The death star wreckage - cuz we need a death star in 2 out of 3 movies. I am fine with nostalgia, and will watch and be happy with it, but it just seemed like Star Wars might finally try something original as a follow up to TLJ and now it no longer looks that way.
Disappointing, but I'll try to be there opening weekend anyway, and I'll probably leave happy.
It's still in with a chance of avatars WW total but TFA is starting to reel it in domestically.
While Endgame fell just short of The Force Awakens' second weekend record at $145.8 million, the film still made it to $2 billion worldwide in just 11 days. Compare that to Avatar's 47 days! The film now sits at a cool $617.9 million domestically, making it just the tenth film to break $600 million...again, in 11 days. At this point, I'm surprised Box Office Mojo hasn't set up a fastest to $600 million list (it stops at $500 million).
Good. Die, Avatar, die! Hahahahahaha!
Anyone get the impression I don't like that movie? Okay, I don't. It was completely unmemorable and I wouldn't even watch it on free broadcast TV if I had nothing else to do. Completely undeserving of the all-time box office record. And I'm hoping its sequels go the usual route franchises take of progressively declining quality and box office.

Did it kill your mother? It's just a movie, relax.
It did kill my mother. She was aghast that such a bad movie made so much bank and just keeled over.
I am relaxed. If I wasn't relaxed, I would have taken off and nuked Cameron's office from orbit, since that's the only way to be sure.
