The days are ticking down to the launch of The Rise of Skywalker, and the stars of the film are hitting the chat circuit hard and heavy which is public visibility that all bodes well for the movies all important opening weekend which looks likely to be north of the $200 million mark Stateside.
We’ve been hearing for quite some time from exhibitors and distribution sources that advance ticket sales are strong, but not overly robust for Disney/Lucasfilm’s finale Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, meaning in the way that they were for 2015’s Force Awakens ($247.9M) and 2017’s Last Jedi ($220M). Hence, early AM estimates for the J.J. Abrams movie hitting tracking, when averaged are at $205M given the comparative titles provided.
Daisy Ridley is Rey and Adam Driver is Kylo Ren in STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER
Atom Tickets had reported that the first day sales of Skywalker back on Oct. 21 were their second best ever behind Avengers: Endgame, however, they’re a much younger ticket retailer than Fandango, and rep a small portion of overall presales next to AMC, Regal, Cinemark and other major outlets with millennials and mobile users being their prime demos. As of 8AM, one tracking firm says $175M, but that seems low. Working in Skywalker‘s advantage is that Abrams, and stars Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver are already hitting the talk show circuit to generate heat.
The film premieres on 16th December in LA, around the same time as media screenings will be taking place.
