Oh lawdy, the fanboys are in full force on Star Wars' IMDB page. On both sides. People claiming it's the worst SW without having seen it, people claiming it's amazing, people posting spoilers etc. etc.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Spoilers suck!<br>

The new @StarWars film has to make $1.5 billion+ to be considered a success on Wall Street. "J.J. is terrified," says Steven Spielberg

seriously?

1.5 billion to be considered successful? wtf is this shame?

Marketing budget as big as the budget for the movie?  You should look into Spider-man.  I don't know about the first 3, but the last two didn't make any money, despite making double its budget.

Well they are probably taking into account that it's star wars.

Still, the toy sales alone will probably earn them money lol

Everyone vote in the poll!!

Nah, its down to 97%

Doom confirmed.

Actually ep IV and V are the previous best SW films on 94%. So critics think this is the best Star Wars yet

[Xevross]

So there's two cinemas in my city.

One has 36 showings of Star Wars out of a total 45 films tomorrow and the other has 34 showings of Star Wars out of a total of 39.

God dang, never seen so many.

Huh? Look at the ratings again. It's not the "Tomato score" or whatever it's called that matters.

Force Awakens - 8.4/10

Empire Strikes Back - 8.9/10

Empire strikes back is the highest rated. Even A New Hope is rated 8.5/10

Well I was just using the main one that rt gives out on its own site.

By your measure those two are better, obviously.

Yeah that one is basically just which people liked the movie or not. Someone could give it a 6/10 but another person a 10/10. Two different ratings but for the tomato score they would both mean the same thing.

I used to look at the tomato score but now I look at the actual score. So many movies are 80% on rottentomatoes but are then rated 6/10

I look at both tbh. Critic score usually correlates well to Meta anyway (83 on meta, 8.4 on RT)

2 voters and neither thinks it'll go beyond $2B!!! You'll be surprised
