FORCE  PLAY

The new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, J.J. Abrams' ambitious reboot of the George Lucas blockbuster franchise, appeared online yesterday and has already reached about 9.5m views on YouTube (see it below).

Meanwhile, the trades report that advance ticket offers on Fandango, Movie Tickets and other sites spawned so much demand that the services crashed.

The flick, which opens on 12/18, would appear to be on track for some decent Q4 business. Which also bodes well for Sony Classical's fleet of deluxe soundtrack products, due on 1/8/16.
