There were “smiling faces†from the crowds exiting the Los Angeles premiere of The Force Awakens on Monday night. Amongst these, presumably, were Disney executives ecstatic that the $4bn they paid George Lucas for franchise rights looks to have been a sound investment.
Initial reactions from all three screening rooms where the film was shown for the first time – as well as from social media – suggest that JJ Abrams has the chops to please both critics and fans, and that The Force Awakens may well recoup at least half the $4bn by itself.
A journalist for the Hollywood Reporter was one of the first to tweet following the event, at which mobile phones were confiscated.

Bah Humbug !!!!
You think NF will carry it? We have it and there’s nothing but crap movies on there.
The wording of your first response indicates you believe his opinion is not valid and that he has a stick up his butt. How do you know your assumption is correct?
There are other ways...
“Or live in a fantasy of denial.”
Well, fantasy is part of entertainment. Good for you! You’re making progress!
Staying home is best.
The POTUS is a traitor and a terrorist.
His cohorts are on the march.
Exactly. :-)
“How do you know your assumption is correct?”
You read the comments but have to ask??
Check out the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes for Phantom Menace. There are all kinds of reviews saying the same thing about that one too.
*sigh* Maybe people get excited over a B movie like Star Wars (in 1976 Star Wars was considered a B movie and who knew it would be such a hit) is because...well...BBT is about the level of entertainment hollywierd makes anymore.
Maybe your comments are what they are because his opinion is different from yours, and you just don’t like it. So you took a swipe at him with an obvious insult about a stick up his butt.
In theory though, a large events going to be much hard and take more planning. 6 or 10 soft targets with 100-250 or so - and you could damn well shut the country down. Look at LA today.
I remember Carrie Fisher from the first Star Wars movie.
My first thought was “she is really not that pretty but for some reason she does appear sexy”.
At age 60 or whatever she is, there is no way I want to see her as anything but a grandmother.
Maybe you can get your boyfriend to give you a nice backrub and it’ll calm your nerves after having read such aggressive words.
No!!! Now I have to look at Helen Thomas to cleanse my eyes!
I haven’t watched tv in a long time. My first and only tv show since the X-Files in the Walking dead. I only watch about two movies a year. But I will see this one. I am mostly disconnected from the culture, but I don’t want to be completely disconnected.
Actually, Star Wars got, three, bad reviews, including one famously bad one, but in general critical response was overwhelmingly positive.
Not every trip to the movie theatre needs to be for "Schindler's List."
cleanse my eyes!
Same thighs, btw.
