The STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS trailer was viewed more than 112 million times online in 24 hours, according to a post from Lucasfilm on StarWars.com.
If we take that statistic and combine it with the 16 million viewers that tuned in to watch the trailer on Monday Night Football, that makes an astonishing 128 million views.
There is so much excitement and expectation surrounding the film and when they advanced ticket sales were released, again, it broke numerous records, including the biggest-ever 24 hours for advance sales in numerous countries. Here in the U.K., more than 200,000 tickets were sold in the first day and due to the popularity and demand of the tickets, several ticket sales sites crashed.
So it seems STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS will continue to cause a stir and continue adding new records to its collection, as now it has achieved a new record for the most views of a trailer in 24 hours, which has broken its own record set by the second teaser it released this past April.
The first teaser, which premiered on Nov. 28, 2014, hit 55 million views in its first 24 hours and 110 million in its first 12 days. The second trailer, which debuted in April 2015 at Star Wars Celebration, got 88 million views in the first 24 hours and 145 million in the first week.
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS stars Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Lupita Nyong’o and Adam Driver alongside returning castmembers Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill and will land in cinemas December 18th, 2015.
