You say that, but I bet you buy a ticket.

It will suck and it will lose money.

I know what you guys are like.


In the words of Comic Book Guy:


"Worst. Cosmic. Wars. Ever. I will only see it 3 more times... today"

With the amount of times you've seen Young Guns, I'm surprised it hasn't made $10 billion yet.

My new passion is that film with your Mum in it.

Final total $1.4 billion.

Only The Phantom Menace made over 1 billion dollars worldwide.

There's no way VII will make 10 billion.

$600-700 million worldwide in its opening weekend.

$2 or even 3 billion all time, thinking very positively. But not 10 billion.

But I'm also getting psychic interference saying that the movie might bomb (for Star Wars) -- still make a lot of money, but not as much as hoped -- while, at the same time, critical reviews of the movie will be very positive (as opposed to negative reviews for the prequels).

1 Billion top.

I am no good with money so I cannot make a prediction based on actual figures but I do think that Episode VII (any idea when we will get a working title by the way?) will do better than Episode 1 if only because of the original cast members being involved, I think a lot of audience members still have a lot of connection with them and still a lot of hatred for the cast from Ep 1 - 3.

I'm thinking it'll make at least 1.5 billion worldwide. Between fans demanding sequels for about 30 years now, the original trio coming back, Lucas not having final say on anything, and a huge marketing campaign and I'd be pretty surprised if it doesn't result in at least an Avengers level payoff.

The working title is apparently The Ancient Fear.


I saw another one a few days ago named after the theatre that Abrams first saw Star Wars but I can't remember what it was.

I don't like it.

Well, I don't know. Maybe it works.

It could be something worse.

Suck maybe, lose money, not likely.

Even though Star Wars isn't at the height of it's popularity anymore I still predict it will make quite a bit - just considering how much many of the comic book/super hero films continue to make (I don't think I know one person who grew up in the 90s-2000s reading Iron Man or Thor comics, yet those movies still managed to gross quite a bit for example).
