For real though

I can't shake this feeling that this movies box office numbers will ultimately be characterized as "disappointing"

TFA was the first star wars in a long time(long enough). I'm surprised the gap is so close tbh

Because it kind of is worldwide. I think it's underperforming

That's not to say it won't make a metric shit-ton of money by any means though

On the flip though, TFA made $38 Million on it's first Wednesday

and $27 Million the next day.

So TLJ's Wednesday and Thursday didn't even combine to match TFA's single Wednesday.

TLJ is def a flop confirmed

I think its more a reflection that TFA didnt draw people in enough to be as excited about the sequel

No.

TFA had way more factors to play on to draw immediate large numbers. Chief among them being "Episode 7"

It's only a flop if it doesn't make its money back.

Call me if it doesn't make a Billion internationally. Otherwise you're a plain flat out idiot TC.

Yup, that's one hell of a flop in a week.

>thinking i'm being serious when I'm calling it a flop.

However there was someone here saying TLJ was going to make $2 Billion <_< At this rate I'll be surprised if it hits $1.7B

There was no way it was going to make as much as TFA

Like, I think people forget that TFA was like an event at the time. George Lucas said he'd never make an episode 7, it'd been like a decade since a Star Wars movie comes out. That gets a lot of casual movie goers and non fans in the seat just to be part of the spectacle.

The Last Jedi though is just another yearly Star Wars movie at this point, a Star Wars movie that kind of shits all over the fanboys at that.

Like, Star Wars is big, but I don't think people realize just how much of the Star Wars machine is carried by the raving fanboys. The fact it's actually only trailing TFA by 86 millioni is actually surprising to me.

Hmmm

If disney were smart they would cancel the Han Floppo movie and give one to Obi Wan instead, also wait a little bit for the last movie and get a high profile director like James Cameron to direct the last one in this trilogy.

Thor 3 made $154M Domestically on it's first weekend

TLJ made $296M Domestically.

On average during the weekday, TLJ is making 2-3 times per day what Thor 3 made per day.

as far as I know, yes. The reason it's taking long is because he wants to have all 3 movies finished before he releases the first one.

I looked it up, and it looks like there are actually four sequels in the works. The first two are already in progress.

I get how big it was at the time, but will that excitement wait ten years and then carry through four films? I'm sceptical.

last report I read said the first one won't even be out in 2018 so James still has a ton of work cut out for him.

Like half or more of the success of the first film was entirely because of how breathtaking the visuals and technology was at the time. If they can't top that by a notable margin, i don't see how it'll break even the $2 Billion mark <_<

Infinity War will make sub-$1.5B and Disney will have to shutter its doors and windows

TFA didn't even make $125M in China <_<

I'll be surprised if TLJ surpasses $100M total in China

TFA's biggest Foreign/Overseas performer was the UK at $163.6M

TLJ has made $37.3M in the UK up til now, so it'll more than likely surpass $100M there but I don't see it going too far past $125M >_>

This will be reflected in how long the legs of TLJ are <_< TFA had p long legs. Also almost all the comments I've heard about TLJ is basically "you have to see it for yourself, maybe even see it twice"

I only saw TFA twice and I've seen TLJ twice. If it wasn't for that one part (Casino planet) I'd probably go back and see it at least a couple more times.
