Exactly, no idea where this 'soft reboot' is coming from, perhaps all the ANH nods in the movie.
It's clearly a sequel.

Are there not many theaters around you or something?

Is there a reason why Disney won't allow PIXAR to make a Star Wars or Marvel movie?

Pixar is a little busy right now
looked at my local theatre
almost every showing is "sold out" (everything but the front rows) up until 10:30 then those are mostly untouched
that's about as strong as saturday

They're too busy making sequels to their own franchises

All showings in the evening here are sold out here in the netherlands. Never seen anything like it.
Which theater? Because according to Fandango there are no 9:30 AM showings for Star Wars in your town. I assume you meant the 9:15.
Now granted the 11:15, 12:45 and 2:45 are sold out in your town so I believe you

You're right 9:15. My cousin is seeing it at the AMC in west orange. He text me this morning to tell me it was sold out. He couldn't believe it.
I want to go see TFA for a second time on 31st and the IMAX 3d OV show here in Vienna is already 2/3 booked (only side places left), so I went for the 2d instead. I checked for the other days and all of the IMAX 3d shows have all the best places already booked (both English and German shows). It's true that it's only one IMAX cinema in town and several shows.
The pacing, story beats, and characters are extremely similar to A New Hope. At the very least, Force Awakens attempts to bottle what made that specific films (as opposed to even the franchise as a hole) a giant hit.

It's been out a week and it's already the 5th highest grossing movie of all time in North America. Give it another week and it might be top 3.
It will be #2 by this weekend, with a shot at #1 depending how the weekday holds are.

What movies are ahead of Star Wars right now? Avatar and Jurassic World of course but what are the other two?

It's a little over $100 million behind the Titanic, so yeah it could conceivable by number 2 by next week. Crazy.

Avengers and Titanic. TFA needs $216m to be #1, and is likely to do over $100m next weekend. If we see ~$20 -$25m week days - which is entirely possible - it will be #1 by Sunday. If not, a day or two into the following week.

it will depend on their marketing for china, not a movie they can easily love
but can influence them into it a lot
just throw up a lot of money in china and say fastest money maker in american history blahb lah and that could work.
you'll have to wait a month to see how they do in feb in china though when all the kids and families are out of work and school for the month

I did watch and there is plenty of similarities with ANH.
(Spoiler, don´t read if you have not watched the movie).

I thought we've already established that Canada is weak compared to the unassailable might and destruction of the United States of America
Calling it a remake is going way too far, and while the article makes a few good points the author goes along with this:
Which is complete nonsense. There are several visual homages but it's stylistically distinct from ANH.

Crazy. Was it just for the dine-in? I usually only go to Essex Green for that.
I like the description I read once. If this wasn't a Star Wars movie, it would be plagiarism.
It's not shot for shot, but fuck me if the movie isn't similar.
Finally something to get james cameron out of fucking hibernation and get shit done mode. His ego might get him to direct an action film better than fury road now.
Fucker is still playing in that avatar 09 dough.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Yall are nothing, we have Justin Bieber, Shania Twain, and Celine Dion.
And Cameron da gawd!
Not sure if it's a dine-in but the pic be sent me did show a sign for Essex Green

Going to see the movie again tonight with my wife. I love theaters with assigned seats.

It really is the best...seeing it again today at 130 (non reserved), got to the theater an hour early and still was like 25 people ahead of us lol.

Kind of fitting since Star Wars itself "plagiarized" several films, LOL.
IMAX 3D in Karlsruhe also is booked out until January. Madness :S

Won't get into this too much, but... well, yeah. It's a Star Wars movie riffing on previous Star Wars themes.
I was watching Back to the Future with the fiance and it repeats scenes and story beats over and over and over again. It's still a beloved trilogy... even if you pretty much know the same characters show up, will do or say the same things, and it'll ultimately have nearly the same outcome every time.
And let's not pretend that Star Wars was immune either. It outright stole ideas and scenes, some shot for shot, from dozens of sources, ranging from Flash Gordon to Buck Rogers to Metropolis to Kurosawa films.
It's like poetry. It rhymes.
What this person said.
Has anyone figured out, why Star Wars has so much more pull with American audiences than the rest of the world? At a glance it wouldn't appear like a series that should behave that way.
Actually we do have two IMAXes in Vienna. Donauplex and Apollo. What is true though is that only the Apollo one regularly shows OVs.
And to add to your observations: Star Wars appears to sell best in IMAX OV (one showing per day since release) followed bei non OV IMAX. But for non IMAX showings there's plenty of tickets still available. At almost all times and good seats as well.

By this logic, Kurosawa should have sued Lucas in '77. Lol.
