thismeintiel said: The Last Jedi, a movie that has greatly disappointed, or even angered, a great many of fans of the Star Wars saga, has just dropped a massive 69% WOW. This is much worse than many were predicting, regardless of what they claim now. It is much worse than the mere 40% that The Force Awakens fell. Much worse than the ~50% other $200M+ openers did. Even worse than the poorly received Justice League, which fell 56%. TLJ is now $175M behind TFA after just 9 days. Hope you sold enough Porg dolls to make up for it Disney. |
Christmas Eve killed Sunday's box office, hurting the drop. The last time the holidays shook out this way (i.e. Christmas Eve on a Sunday, Christmas on a Monday, etc.) was in 2006, and The Pursuit of Happyness - a super leggy hit - fell 44% over the same weekend.
Using 2006 as a barometer for New Years weekend, everything will increase. (i.e. PoH made $14m over Christmas weekend and $19m over New Years; Eragon made $7m over Christmas and $9m over New Years, etc.)
