Ollie 1,108 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 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. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 5,023 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Bilbo 3,773 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,159 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,376 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Agreed, but it played things far far too safely. Perhaps that's what the fans want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,159 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 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 ForceTM are what people associate with the identity of Star Wars and nothing new can ever come about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
