Bookmakers bet on Star Wars

Will Disney’s production break the bank?
After the acquisition of Lucasfilm by the Walt Disney Company in 2012, a new era of Star Wars began , in which four full-length films have been made so far: two belonging to the main series and two spin-offs. As many as three of them turned out to be huge box office hits, so the expectations for the latest edition are very high. The Force Awakens grossed over two billion dollars, the Last Jedi grabbed over a billion and three hundred thousand, and Rogue One brought a billion green with a hook. The rest of the movie also did quite well .
So it would be unreasonable to say that the latest installment of the series will not repeat the fantastic financial success of its predecessors.

A bookmaker licensed by the Minister of Finance, Betfan, asks directly in its wide offer of bets in the “entertainment” category:
How much will Star Wars: Episode IX earn in cinemas worldwide?
We can bet that it will be a minimum of USD 2 billion 300 million or less than this amount, and each of these options has an exchange rate of 1.83, which means that for betting on one of these options, e.g. PLN 100 after taking into account 12% tax, you will be able to win PLN 161.04.
In the history of cinema, only a few movies have made more than two billion dollars so far, but the magic of the Star Wars series can work wonders, as can be seen, for example, in the result obtained by The Force Awakens . For this reason, the ninth installment of the series must not be deleted in the run-up. However, due to the production turmoil, hurrayoptimism may also turn out to be premature.
