A small bet....
RS and bo.com have put out their stuff on it, both big, and everywhere I look I see people saying 225, 250, some are talking even higher. I'm guessing we'll start seeing good tracking and predictions (or at least more informed) after thanksgiving and I wanted to say this first before any other info about it comes out:
No, nope, never, not a chance.
If The Force Awakens opens over $200m then I will reset my portfolio back to H$2 million on December 31st.
I'm prepared to be publicly wrong about this, but I'm gonna be right, so so right. Just watch.

Betting aside, I'm incredibly interested in how this plays out. I have a ton of thoughts about it and have a lot of anticipation to see the reactions here and elsewhere to the box office results first, and the movie second (I was never a big fan of star wars, enjoyed the originals as a kid but haven't thought about it much until the last year or so).

I agree it'll probably under 200 million OW. I don't think it'll have staying power earn about $480 million overall. Nov 19, 15:20
