With it making this much over 2 weeks, is it safe to say Star Wars 7 will exceed a billion its first weekend?
I think you'll be surprised by how little anyone cares about Star Wars here in 2015. It will do well but break records it will not.

hopefully not with The furious 7 director.
Yeah, Wan needs to go back to horror.
They need Justin Lin to come back onboard.

For the 7th movie in a franchise to do this is incredible.
For a shitty movie to do this is even more incredible.
Mind blown.
I guess the lesson here is make an outlandish movie about cars and it will 100 percent do well. All you budding screenwriters/directors take note.

so this looks to be the first of five films to hit $1B this year.
Avengers is a lock to do it next month.
After that Jurassic Park.

I think most of yall are not realizing what brought this film so much money and attention. The death of Paul is what brought everyone to this film. Everyone wanted to know what they would do with Paul and how they would end this film. If Paul hadn't died I wouldn't have gone to see it. I just watch 6 like a little over a week ago so I would know what exactly was going on. If Paul wouldn't have died I wouldn't have watched 6 or went and saw 7. The tribute at the end is being discussed widely. Lots of people want to see this for Paul. If there is an 8th movie it won't come close to what this one made.

You say that like the last few movies haven't been huge hits as well. I'm sure his death brought some extra interest in this one but all of these movies have been hits. Fast 5 completely re-energized the series and was a monster hit.

I think what WETA did was so fantastic, from a physical standpoint, that they could put him in the 8th film if they wanted to. WAY more of that film was body doubles than people think. I don't care what the director said before they reshot it. The bigger problem would be making his dialogue sound natural. Though for a short cameo type scene where he is simply talking on the phone to Vin it would be fairly easy.
If they say Paul's character would be back in the 8th. This same thing would happen, because everyone would want to see how it was done.
Regardless, at this point, the eighth one is happening. Too much money.

When someone posted that Furious would likely gross a billion in another thread, I scoffed. It was one of the worst movies I've seen - totally cliche and full of bad acting. I guess people like it, though.
It's bad and wonderful all at the same time.
