Each year a movie is released that blows all the other movies of the year away and set new records for the box office. The previous year \u201cTransformers: Age of Extinction\u201d grabbed the coveted position, a year before that it was \u201cFrozen\u201d and these were preceded by \u201cThe Avengers,\u201d \u201cThe Dark Knight Rises\u201d and so on and so forth<\/p>\n
That is not to deny that it is so by design. As we know movies are a big business and the larger peers among the various movie studios are concentrating their energies on developing franchises. That results in lucrative installments and a whole set of consumer complementing peripherals like video games, toys, rides in theme parks as well as clothing. These provide a means of acquiring recurrent revenue for many years to come.<\/p>\n
This year the hype surrounding the upcoming release of \u201cStar Wars: The Force Awakens\u201d, the seventh installment in the illustrious \u201cStar Wars\u201d Movie Franchise, is unprecedented as it is all set to hit the theatres in December. The extent of the hype may be somewhat gauged by the following set of figures and facts.<\/p>\n
