Whatever happened with the new Star Wars movie?

I noticed a few weeks ago it is already on pay per view on Dish Network.

Over $2 billion in sales and the 3rd highest gross box office of all time, so I would say it did OK.

It had a long run for this day and age. Most movies are in and out of the theater in a month or less, even the blockbusters.

It was a pretty good film. My son liked it and I didn’t fall asleep so it was better than lots of the crap that they put out.

It had a strong female lead, maintained consistency with the originals trilogy, involved interesting political, personal, and theological issues, and blew the doors off in terms of revenues.

Personally I thought they nailed it.

Sure some Freeper can provide a link to revenues (if that has not already happened).

It’s been out for 6 months now. This is about the time for a mega-hit to be on cable and satellite.

I saw it. It was OK. But somehow it has now sucked in my GK's to the whole Star Wars thing, much to the delight, I'm sure, of Toys 'R' Us, which I've been visiting lately.

It came out of DVD and bluray a couple of months ago.
