"Star Wars-7: The Awakening of the Force" started in the Russian box office

Today the screens of domestic cinemas are the seventh episode of the legendary "Star Wars". This film has become one of the most anticipated premieres of the year 2015.

Fans of the cult film waited for a new tape for 10 years. The first three series of sagas came out in 1977-1983, after which came a break in 16 years. Another three films, which were devoted to the events that preceded the first episodes, came to the screens from 1999 to 2005.

The most successful is considered the first film from the second trilogy "The Hidden Menace": he managed to collect at the box office more than 1 billion dollars. After the release of the sixth episode, the permanent director and producer of the picture George Lucas announced that he had nothing more to say about the "Star Wars", so he finishes this story than, of course, grieved all the fans of Darth Vader.

In 2012, Lucas decides to sell his studio and all the rights to the heroes of the "Star Wars" no less famous company Walt Disney. The deal cost 4 billion dollars. Now the fans of the film can be calm - in order to recoup the money spent, Disney will release episodes one by one: Star Wars-8 and Star Wars-9 are already scheduled for 2017 and 2019 respectively. Of course, the director JJ Abrams, who shot the "Awakening of the Force," was very much at risk, starting to shoot the main space film of the twentieth century. Whether the new director has succeeded in justifying the hopes of true Jedi will become clear in the coming week. In any case, tickets for premieres have already been sold out.
