The Last Jedi dropped 77% between Fridays

Yeah, no way in hell is Johnson going to be allowed to create a new trilogy after this shite. Thankfully money talks and the public largely sees it for the piece of shite it is.

As you know if you've been following along, The Empire Strikes Back and Attack of the Clones both did around 70% of the business (worldwide and domestic) that Star Wars and The Phantom Menace did in their initial theatrical releases. So the notion that The Last Jedi is a disappointment because it is clearly going to make a lot less than The Force Awakens is... silly. I discussed this a little under two years ago, when The Force Awakens wrapped up its run, that "part 1" of the previous Star Wars trilogies were far and away the biggest of the bunch. So, yes, The Last Jedi may have to settle for an under $700 million domestic total and an under $1.5 billion global cume. I think Lucasfilm will survive.
The Last Jedi earned an additional $24.68 million on its second Friday, a sharp 76.4% drop from its $105m opening day. That's a lot, bigger than most top-tier MCU movies and not close enough for comfort to the 67% drop for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story last year. And while it may be a record Fri-to-Fri drop for a Star Wars movie, the prequels had worse "opening day to day eight" drops in their respective runs. Phantom Menace opened on a Wednesday and fell 72% on its second Wednesday. Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith opened on Thursdays and fell 78% and 81% on their respective second Thursdays.

Well obviously, it's a terrible movie. Not sure why anyone would be surprised.

Forbes is all aboard the wrong train. Douche lords like Erik kain and Paul Tassi told me the switch would bomb and there’d be no good games...now Scott Mendelson is trying to tell me disney isn’t going to be disappointed with the movie underperforming because it still made a shitload of money

Everyone I've spoken to has said the same thing to me - 'it was boring'

The BO can be best summed up by Poe Dameron just hitting the brakes in space...wait, how did he do that?

TLJ would work a lot better as a standalone film so I'm not sure this should really be a concern.

The problems with are still present whether it’s part of a trilogy or not.
Posted on 12/23/17 at 6:49 pm to ell_13
I mean it still has problems, but it's not nearly as egregious

I actually liked that.
That manuever was straight out of Battlestar Galactica. Great space flight ideas there.

People can rationalize the shite that was TLJ all they want. Take out the Star Wars elements, and it's still a bad movie all around.
