Is it? I think this is going to be like your Justice League prediction. You know, where you thought it was still going to do great, yet now looks like it won't even hit $700M, even struggle to get much pass $650M.
Personally, I wouldn't be so sure about that $1.5B. We're going to get a better picture after this weekend, especially once WW numbers get in, but at least for the US, it's going to finish massively down from TFA. It's only been a week from release and it is already $120M down from TFA. It's just going to keep going down further and further. To compare 2nd Fridays, TFA was down 59% from opening Friday, while TLJ is down a massive 76%. And keep in mind, that TLJ started out lower, so a larger drop is actually a little harder to pull off. That's even much worse than the other two movies BOM is comparing it to, Jurassic World (65%) and Avengers (64%.)
This is not the result Disney wanted. I'm sure they expected it to be down a little compared to TFA in the end, like Avengers: AOU was down ~$114M, or ~8%, from Avengers WW, but not this bad.
