Tickets for the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens will go on sale October 19th, several months before the film’s December release date in the United States. According to Bloomberg Business:
“The Force Awakens” is the first in the series since Disney acquired franchise-owner Lucasfilm Ltd. for $4 billion in 2012. The film is expected to be one of the top-grossing pictures of the year, if not all time.
“Fans have been super excited ever since the first ’Force Awakens’ teaser trailer dropped,” said Dave Karger, chief correspondent at the online ticket seller site Fandango. “It’s been over 10 years since a ‘Star Wars’ movie was introduced in theaters.”Morgan Stanley analystBenjamin Swinburne said in June that the movie could be the third highest-grossing film in history. He estimated “The Force Awakens” will take in $1.95 billion in ticket sales worldwide. That would place it behind “Avatar” at $2.8 billion and “Titanic” at $2.2 billion, according to data from Boxofficemojo.com.
Bottom line, get your tickets now!!!!
