I just got an email from Amazon offering a free trial of their Audible audiobook service. Among the audiobooks on offer were the James Bond series by Ian Fleming, read by actors including Damien Lewis and Dan Stevens. I thought I would pass the information on, in case anyone is interested.

I've just moved some posts to the SPECTRE Box Office thread. Can I remind people to use the dedicated thread for box office discussion instead of this one. I know I've been guilty of posting box office stuff here too, but it's still better to keep all the related posts together instead of splitting them between two threads.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is breaking records and it’s still a month to go before the hotly anticipated space opera opens in theaters.

Insiders confirm that the seventh film in the hugely popular franchise has generated more than $50 million in advance ticket sales.

Fandango tells Variety that the picture is the biggest pre-seller in the history of the ticketing company, trumping the first “Hunger Games.” Most Imax screenings have sold out, but outside of those premium formats, there are tickets remaining to many shows on opening weekend. Theater chains are continually adding extra showtimes to keep up with demand, a Fandango spokesman said.

MovieTickets.com, the country’s other major online ticketer reports that advance sales for Star Wars represent the most tickets ever sold for one film by the company when compared to all other films at the same point in roll out.

ECH-TRE is now only 9% higher than QOS , not factoring in inflation, which would put it behind it in the USA.

ECH-TRE was 3rd again Tuesday in the USA, behind Peanuts, and the UK weekend gross was down to $5,806,522. There won't be much action outside of Japan after this holiday weekend which could see the crummy film drop to 6th place :!: :up: I wonder what the Sweeney thinks about the worldwide reception.
