STAR WARS

Disney, who bought Lucasfilm in 2012 for 4.06 billion, planned on continuing the Star Wars franchise and releasing it on December 18, 2015. The article by Anthony D'Alessandro and Nancy Tartaglione says, "Many are already predicting a record 615 million worldwide opening, and they have plenty to be confident in that number." As Jurassic World set the global opening record with 524.4 million, many believe that Star Wars will easily beat that record in record breaking time. I personally chose this article because as soon as I saw "Star Wars" I immediately clicked on the link and read the article. I've been a fan of the Star Wars franchise since I could remember. The movies had a big impact on my childhood, so of course it caught my eye. The article, as a consumer, impacts me because it gives me something to look forward to during December and it can possibly effect me as a student and filmmaker because I can use some shots in the film to help me influence our future projects. The only question I can bring up from reading this article is that if they succeed in the box offices, will they make more movies to follow up the 7th upcoming movie.
