The Last Jedi Box Office Predictions (No Movie Spoilers Please)

[Ollie 1,355]

So it’s currently tracking domestically to open 26 to 48 million lower domestically than TFA and about 120 million lower overall with the foreign grosses. 

 

Im going to say it finishes around $650 million domestic and 1.4 billion overall.

[A24 4,930]

So what?

[BloodBoal 7,545]

If it makes a lot of money, it means we'll get a sequel, Cremers.

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,264]

But Aquaman and Shazam are already in production anyway.

Alex, how dare you speak to Mark O., like that. Shame on you. Shame. Shame!

 

 

Mark, how come your profile says "grandfather", but your gender says "not telling"?

I think we've seen through your cunning plan, what?

JUSTICE LEAGUE is successful, but it hasn't a snowball's chance of making a profit. 

I like the idea of no Ep. IX.

Oh, c'mon, Mark, throw us a frickin' bone, here.

[Fancyarcher 351]

Currently it's on it's way to an opening of around $216 to $220m, so I'd say over 700m at least. 

[Naïve Old Fart 12,158]

700 meters? That's long!

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,264]

24 decks?

[BloodBoal 7,545]

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,264]

I'm through being polite goddammit! Now take me down! E-Deck.

Nah 700 pounds of shear box office muscle. Look at it go.

Take her to sea, Mr Murdoch. Let's stretch her legs.

No, because that would be 700lbs.

[Brundlefly 2,400]

1.7 overall

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,264]

I don't think it's going to beat Titanic. I don't think it even has a chance at beating Titanic.

[Naïve Old Fart 12,158]

Possibly $1.4 billion?

"I made MORE AMERICAN GRAFFITI. It made 10 cents". 

[Fancyarcher 351]

Only 11.3 percent behind TFA's opening weekend. Not bad. It's not missing 700m at this rate more then likely. 

 

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,264]

If reports of the film's quality are any indication, it'll suffer a steep second weekend drop, and Episode 9's opening might be significantly less.

[crumbs 15,774]

It was never going to make more than TFA; that was a huge event. This is the third new Star Wars film in two years. The shine is going to wear off.

[Ollie 1,355]

68% drop off second weekend, yikes.

Wow you were right. But you are still the guy who said TFA wouldn't/couldn't break 200 million just like Koray is the guy who said about Avatar..."I smell a bomb!"

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,264]

Why would anyone think TFA would make $200 million? It's just a Star Wars movie.

[Wojo 2,458]

I don't plan on seeing it before next weekend. 

[Tom 6,061]

Why on earth Lucasfilm gave Johnson a 3 movie deal prior to release is a huge concern.  Perhaps Kennedy (who I have just assumed knows what she is doing) is just plain incompetent.  She is now is a no win scenario of firing him or going ahead with a trilogy that many, many fans (enough to make a sizable BO difference) will not see on principle.  

 

What would have been the harm of waiting a month to decide on Johnson?  

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,283]

He was offered the new trilogy on the strength of TLJ! Kennedy obviously knows what she's doing! More of that!

[Tom 6,061]

I would put large sums of money betting that Johnson politely "resigns" from the new trilogy by the end of January. 

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,283]

Why? He's obviously doing what Kennedy wants.

Aside from the RT boys giving it a bad audience score it’s making shed loads of money and the critics and the vast majority of fans loved it. It’s so much better than TFA.

 

I can’t wait for Johnson’s trilogy. 

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,283]

Entitled fanboys are a vocal minority that Lucasfilm should try to ignore.

Is it though?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,283]

It's less of a remake.

[Chen G. 5,460]

Its not a remake at all. 

 

But its also less focused, and I would even say a tad less polished.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,283]

TLJ takes a lot from TESB actually.

[Bilbo 4,050]

There’s definitely a focus. The whole film is about failure and it permeate every single storyline. The film gets better with repeat viewings. TFA diminishes with same.

 

TLJ has the homour “issue” which is think is actually great. Some of it is very dark and the humour is welcome. 

 

It has balls and depth. Two things entirely absent from TFA.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,283]

Thank you!

[Arpy 4,218]

TFA has something that TLJ can't match: it was first. It resuscitated the franchise, gave millions of fans globally a new idol (Rey/Daisy Ridley) and it gave us a new Star Wars score with a strong theme for the heroine; a huge return for Williams. TFA may have played it safe, but it paid off and introduced a new trilogy.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,283]

Agreed, but it played things far far too safely. 

Perhaps that's what the fans want?

[Arpy 4,218]

The fans are fickle. Too close, not enough. Nostalgia has poisoned the well, RO and TLJ are the first indicators of that. You could have all the elements of Star Wars faithfully recreated and still have a backlash because there's nowhere for the universe to go, it's all there, labelled, packaged and on lunchboxes and MacBook covers. Tie Fighters, X-Wings, The Force^TM are what people associate with the identity of Star Wars and nothing new can ever come about.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,283]

Say what you want about the Prequels, Lucas wasn't very interested in nostalgia.

That was when Lucas could command an entire studio with his $$$ and didn't have to worry about the social media Lynch mob.

 

James Cameron was right, Lucas was trying out new things and not repeating the same Star Wars Tropes and imagery.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,283]

It's a pity he was such a piss poor film maker.

[Brundlefly 2,400]

The prequels were new - but bad.
