Attack of the Clones made about 63% of what Phantom Menace made. The Last Jedi hasn't finished its run yet but enough data shows it'll be a minimum of 1.2B which would be about 60% of what The Force Awakens made. |
An interesting pattern indeed...
Episodes 2 and 5 suffered backlash. One has to wonder what if a SW sequel didn't suffer backlash? Would it have been able to outperform its predecessor?
If I were Disney, that's what I'd be thinking.
