General Star Wars Discussion

Don't theaters also use the predictions to decide how to allocate their screens? I noticed just before "Project Hail Mary" opened that my local theater upped it from three to four screens.

I'm sure they do. It's all related to industry business.

I supposed that these days someone could be betting on it, like in those predicition markets, but that's not the primary purpose.

Interesting. Is there some kind of investing or betting that goes on based on this? I'm wondering who uses these specific numerical predictions.

No clue if there is betting. Is more helpful than a Fandago survey, see below.

It's very hard to believed that Mortal Kombat II and Insidious are more anticipated summer movies that SW:TM&G. I'm scratching my head what to make of this list of most anticipated summer movies. Maybe things for the SW franchise is worse than even I thought among the general public?
