2) its not even going to get close to the box office perforce of TFA 3) normal people who dont need to read reviews to influence them to think a movie is good, hate the movie just look at the user review score 4) destroyed the entire Star Wars franchise --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

It made over a billion on a $200 million budget. That's literally the exact opposite of a flop.

Yeah a lot of fans may hate it, and it may not have made nearly as much as TFA (which was a pretty high bar), but any movie that makes over a billion is objectively not a flop. --- This space intentionally left blank. ...

I don't know what it takes to get the point across to you people. THE LAST JEDI WAS NEVER GOING TO TOP FORCE AWAKENS AT THE BOX OFFICE.
Tfa was a cultural event, possibly the biggest cinema event ever. No star wars movie Disney will ever put out will have that working for it. That being paid, TLJ has made 1.2 billion in a month. You really think Disney is crying about that? Its already the highest grossing 2017 film in the US and will have the same ranking worldwide very soon.

Wonder Woman is the only DC movie that was considered a success. Justice League is a flop because it's gross didn't even come near recouping the budget (and even further from netting a positive). Disappointment =/= flop. The Last Jedi was a box-office hit and made hundreds of millions and that is a fact. Whether it was a disappointment is subjective. This is why DC needs to scrap all their hacks and "directors" and just let Patty Jenkins run the entire cinematic universe.
