Your first sentence makes no sense, so moving on... 

Sure.. I just proved almost as many people were hyped to watch TLJ as were to watch TFA. You can try poor excuses to explain the huge drop since then, but they are just that, poor.  And that's why Rian is out pleading for people to watch the movie on its 3rd weekend, cause "that's the right time to watch a movie." And he's already talking about Rey's parents can be retconned. Yeah, that shows confidence in your product. 

Really? Wow, is that what you do?  When someone proves you wrong you pretend like it doesn’t make sense? Lol ok 

You had 0 sources, just poor excuses and hyperbole. I actually had reasonable arguments.  And again, that doesn’t prove that Disney is upset lol, he’s just trying to please the upset fans.  

But... But... The upset fans are an extremely small minority and the returns are in line with what Disney expected. Mhmm. So, why the need to please such a small number if everything is going great. And I have never seen a director plead for people to watch the movie in the 3RD weekend with such a poor excuse. Reeks of desperation. 

And it makes no sense because in that extra time ANH did another $90M in the US. Saying it did even more WW with that extra time just proves my point, not yours. Lol.  Don't get me wrong, I 100% expect ESB would have still been down, even if they both got the same time at the BO. But, it would have been more like 10%-13%. Unfortunately for ESB, it launched at a time when the whole industry was starting to change towards bigger openings and having less time in theaters. TLJ has no excuse for being this far down, except it was a disappointing/mediocre movie that many fans refused to see, again, or at all.
