Star Wars makes $57 million dollars in opening week

Star Wars: The Force Awakens made $57m (£38m) on Thursday night, beating the previous record of $43.5m held by Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in 2011.

Analysts say the space saga could become the biggest selling movie of all time.

The film also set a new opening day box office record in the UK and Ireland.

Rentrak’s Paul Dergarabedian, one of Hollywood’s best-known box office analysts, said the film’s opening night performance in the US and Canada “portends a massive and potentially record-breaking opening day and weekend for the film”.

“The potential for The Force Awakens to ultimately break into the $2bn club worldwide is certainly in the realm of possibility,” he said.

Jeff Bock, box office analyst at Exhibitor Relations, added: “As far as breaking records go, it’s the strongest candidate we’ve seen in a long, long time.

“It might join the $2bn club worldwide, and maybe, just maybe, be the highest grossing film of all-time.”

Analysts expect The Force Awakens to make about $200m in the US and Canada over its opening weekend, a total that could challenge the record Jurassic World set earlier this year.

The latest instalment in the dinosaur theme park franchise made almost $209m in its first three days on North American release in June.

In the UK, some chains have increased their prices for the film. Odeon, for example, has imposed a ticket surcharge of up to £2.

The same tactic, coupled with the decision to open the film on a Monday, enabled Spectre to set the record for the biggest opening ever at the UK and Ireland box office.

Analysts say The Force Awakens opened on Thursday so would have to perform staggeringly well over the weekend to top the latest James Bond’s film’s £41.3m debut, which was calculated over seven days as it opened on a Monday.

According to industry journal Screen International, though, such an outcome “remains a distinct possibility” given the film’s current box office performance.

Skyfall, the previous James Bond film, is currently the highest-grossing film at the UK and Ireland box office, having made almost £103m domestically.

Two million tickets were booked in advance of the Force Awakens release, setting a new record for advanced ticket bookings in the UK and Ireland.

Directed by JJ Abrams, Star Wars: The Force Awakens returns to “a galaxy far, far away” some 30 years on from the action of 1983’s Return of the Jedi.

The film sees original trilogy stars Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher reprise their Han Solo and Princess Leia roles alongside younger franchise newcomers

An Exclusive on Charly Boy!

Question: What is your true/real Age?

Answer: Truth is, I don’t really know my age; how people came about 64 is still a wonder to me. I’m not particular about how old or young the number is, what I care about is the age of my mind and then the age of my body.
From my look, my energy and all, I feel 35 or slightly younger, then the age of my mind, going by my experiences, my responsibilities, my wisdom and all, I should be about 87.

Question: Lessons Learnt So Far
Answer: To always be true to myself, to be open, and learn to be my own best friend because loyalty and commitment are hard to come by. Experience has taught me to be strong. I’ve mastered the art of contentment and clean living, everything must be in moderation. I’ve learnt to avoid stress and baggages.Question: Principle(s) Gathered Along The Way
Answer: Live and let live. You can’t be beefing, judging or labeling other people because you don’t know or understand how they’re wired.

Question: Lifestyle Changes
Answer: I’m less adventurous than I used to be, may be because I’ve been there done that. I’m a bit simmered down now, nothing to prove anymore, my focus now is to keep nurturing the peace and the calm that I feel within.
My fashion has always depended on my mood, it’s still the same. I dress the way I feel

Question: Very Happy Moments
Answer: When my usefulness is engaged, when I see the influence I bring in people’s lives, when I’m able to add value and make measurable contribution to individuals and society. When people who come in contact with me tell me am not what they thought or expected I would be. A lot of these would form my very happy moments.

Question: What you hate most

Question: What does Family mean to you?
Answer: I have always said it; my family is my rock, my children are my joy and pride. Family is what I’ve known all my life. Unlike some parents who can’t truly love more than a child per time, I love all all my children in different ways and I see a bit of me in all of them, up to my siblings, grandchildren and all. Family is really what I have been blessed with, and my happiest moments have been family times.

Question: Regrets over the years
Answer: As an adventurous person, I goofed many times but if I was to live it all over again  I wouldn’t change a thing. By this I mean I don’t have regrets, it doesn’t exist in my dictionary. I live life on the edge and to change it would mean doing things in traditional conventional ways. To do that, for me, is to give up the ghost. If it’s no daunting and scary, it certainly is not for me.

I want to think that I scare myself too, sometimes. Ha ha.

Question: What to expect from now

Answer: Expect to see more exciting things as I reinvent myself, my brand and as I go a notch higher in shocking conventional and unintelligent minds. More creative inspiration. Watch out from here and now!
