 It sold less than SW the force awakens and it likely sold less than they expected it to so it is hurting their wallet. It's just like the recent game is hurting EA's wallet.

If I buy a rare video game for $10 and then sell it for $50 instead of the $80 I was expecting, my wallet isn't hurting, I'm just making a smaller profit than I anticipated.

That's inaccurate with companies and how they view it. They make a product where they have to make above a certain amount to make a profit. They make projections on how much they'll make off of something. If it doesn't meet that their expectations, it's money lost especially in circumstances where a backlash caused the less than expected profits. It also causes investors to back out. It hurt their wallet in more than one way.
