Pretty sad you have now spent almost 3 months attacking a kids movie

Pretty sad you enter a thread because you feel the need to defend a kid's movie.  Though, what makes it even sadder is that you have to actually degrade Star Wars, a franchise for ALL ages, to a "kid's movie" to try to take a shot at me.  I'm sure those 20-40 year old fans really appreciate your analysis of the film.  But, hey, if it makes you feel better attacking me, as well as them, just to ignore the poor performance of this film due to fan backlash, you go right ahead.  Just know this movie was still seen as a disappoint to millions of fans and Disney isn't exactly thrilled with its performance, both in terms of tickets and merch.  Not when they thought it was going to do at least $1.7B and a standalone Marvel film now threatens to take its spot.

It is a kids film. Pretending it isn’t is just as sad. As for why I came back to this “thread”, it’s because it pops up so often due to you having to constantly attack it. It’s like Jesus Christ. I don’t like golf, I don’t tell people how much I don’t like golf, why? It makes no sense to. Unless TLJ came to your house, killed your kids, then skull fucked them, then hung your wife and burned your house down -the amount of disdain makes no sense.

Believe it or not, George Lucas has said that Star Wars is a film for 12 year olds.

Atleast the originals felt like they were targeted to young adults, these new Star Wars films feel like they're made by SJW's for SJW's.

Disney ruined Star Wars for good.

I don't think they have ruined Star Wars, but I respect your opinion

It is a kids film. Pretending it isn’t is just as sad. As for why I came back to this “thread”, it’s because it pops up so often due to you having to constantly attack it. It’s like Jesus Christ. I don’t like golf, I don’t tell people how much I don’t like golf, why? It makes no sense to. Unless TLJ came to your house, killed your kids, then skull fucked them, then hung your wife and burned your house down -the amount of disdain makes no sense. 

And yet you find no irony your own actions. You seem to obsessively defend the film. And you also frequent a website where you obsessively defend and track the sales of a "kid's toy."

So, maybe you should look at yourself in the mirror before attacking someone for doing the exact same thing you do. And if you're going to actually enter a thread, contribute something instead of just attacking the OP.

Thank you for respecting my opinion.

Weekend estimates are in. TLJ did $179K. This is 64.4% lower than RO's $502.9K for the same weekend. For the past 31 days, RO has outperformed TLJ by 23.8%. From now until it left theatres, RO made $1.43M. If the 23.8% holds, than TLJ will make just $1.16M. This would bring the final DBO total to $621M. If the FBO precentage of 53.5% holds, final WW will be $1.335B.

Just a few points that help illustrate how poor its legs have been (all numbers pertain to DBO):

- By the end of Week 3, Day 21, TLJ had been outperforming RO, outside of opening weekend, by 9.6%. That performance has fallen to 6.4% in the following weeks.
- By the end of Week 3, TLJ had dropped 28.7% (-$221.4M) below TFA. It currently is 33.5% (-$312.5M) below TFA and is looking to end up ~33.7% (-$315.7M) down.
- By the end of Week 3, TLJ was $21.7M ahead of Jurassic World. It is currently $29.1M behind it and is looking to end up ~$31.3M behind it.
- By the end of Week 3, TLJ was $72.3M ahead of Avengers:AOU. It is currently $3.03M ahead of it and is looking to end up ~$2.36M behind it.
- TLJ has lost 95% of its screenings by Weekend 14. At this point in time, TFA had lost 86.3% and RO had lost 95.7%. JW had lost 72.6% and Avengers had lost 93.1%.
- On Day 69, TLJ already had a take below $60K ($58K). It wasn't until Day 74 that RO dropped below $60K. Day 109 for TFA. Day 102 for JW. And after Day 84 (info for Day 85-119 is missing) for Avengers.

The toys also took a massive hit. They stay on shelves.

Yep. It was reported shortly after the film's release that toy shipments were even lower than even those from RO's release. Pretty bad when a spinoff is pushing more merchandise than the main installment.

Also, it seems BP will pass TLJ and Avengers at the DBO within another week to become #5 on the all time Top 5. And if it's legs hold up, it will come damn close to either matching or passing TLJ WW.
