Even Robert Iger already said at the last earnings call, that people should temper their expectations, because in China Star Wars isn't a huge thing. I think SW7 will make about 1.5 billion Dollars. Avatar, although a terrible movie, was the first movie with good 3D and Pandora was just incredibly good looking. I guess that's why people watched it so often.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros >>I like that 'moderate expectations' = $1.5B<< I think that Iger is trying to temper Wall Street expectations prior to the release of the film. The current ridiculously-high stock price assumes that Star Wars will basically be the biggest film of all time. Even if it does boffo at the box office and moves tons of merchandise, it could easily be seen as a disappointment due to the unrealistically high expectations that have been set up for it. It seems like they're just trying to set realistic expectations for it

I also think Disney views that as a success, but Wall Street is just too crazy with the estimates. However recently Forbes also downgraded the estimates. So maybe the their craziness is gone.
