Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker is outselling Avengers: Endgame tickets by 45% (UP: Outsold Force Awakens on Fandango)

[PhoncipleBone]

In the first hour of pre sales, Episode IX has been outpacing Avengers Endgame tickets by 45% on Atomtickets.

And who said people weren't hyped for it.

Also, condolences to those that bet against a sub $200m OW. Sorry, chezzymann

PhoncipleBone 2.0 bet. :P

 

[Schlorgan]

Sub-$200m opening right there.

 

[Surfinn]

Star Wars is dead.

But I thought TLJ killed Star Wars.

 

[El Toporo]

Very disappointing if you consider that this is propped up by Disney. #DisneyBots

It'll never recover from one failed spinoff movie.

But but but no one is excited for it!

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

What is Atom tickets?

 

[TheXbox]

This is the first time I've heard of Atomtickets.

Not doubting strong presales cause I just bought some tix, but maybe wait for Fandango or actual theater chains first?

 

[piratepwnsninja]

[The Unsent]

Omg stooop.

Endgame had weak legs.

 

[MagicHobo]

This is interesting considering Atom recently lost their partnership with Regal earlier this year, so that's a major loss post-Endgame. I've always gone with Atom for these sales personally because the traffic is lower than Fandango or the various chain websites.

 

[Deleted member 29660]

Oh no, terrible! Someone make a youtube video where Disney is freaking out over this bomb!

 

[Soupman Prime]

So what does that mean? Is it gonna break the OW record?

 

[RastaMentality]

I would wait for Fandango

 

[Deleted member 42105]

Wait you mean to tell me that starwars fans buy tickets early? Oh wow

 

[Jarmel]

I don't think this really mean much other than that it's going to sell extremely well, which anybody with a functioning brain knew.

[Meows]

Sheev, his power. His influence. His frankness.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

500MM OW confirmed.

 

[Milly79]

Cause you couldn't get tickets on atom for end game for like 5 hours after they opened up lol

 

[Pai Pai Master]

why would anyone think this movie isn't going to be huge?

it's being marketed as Endgame for Star Wars

I have absolutely no doubt about that.

 

[Lifejumper]

1.4 bil, 1.5 bil... right on target.

 

[Ooopsklo]

I'm not surprised the US loves Star Wars it's the international gross that will be interesting

 

[Maximus]

I want to grab tickets but coordinating with friends and waiting for them to respond :(

 

[TheMango55]

I think it's gonna be over 200 million, but didn't all the presale sites crash when Endgame tickets released?

I certainly don't think it will get anywhere near $357 million of Endgame (a full $100 million over #2), but it might get close to the $247 of Force Awakens.

THey always been like that. I never got why folks shell out good money to be mad. But people did pay good money for Tron 2, and I never figured that out as well

 

[BobLoblaw]

I haven't seen TLJ and don't plan on watching this one, but pre-sales aren't a good indicator of how long the legs will be. It'll probably make the top 5 of all time, but unseating Avatar or Endgame? sounds like an avatar bet to me.

It's not going to come close to Avatar or Endgame.

I don't think anyone believes that will happen.

 

[Poimandres]

It's not going to happen, but I would love for this film to beat Endgames run because there would be amazing internet fandom explosions from so many angles.

Shows that vocal minorities don't really matter. TLJ was a huge commercial and critical success after all.
