Just checked the box office returns for TLJ. The fans have spoken to the tune of $1.2B! That's 6 times the production costs of making the movie and people are pretending Disney is upset? These people just cite a bunch of box office predictions as well as their own arbitrary predictions and act like these predictions are bases for what "should be". Too funny!
$1.2B is $1.2B no matter how you want to spin it. The only response most people have here is, "Oh your forgetting the big drop from TFA". TFA this, TFA that! No one is ignoring or forgetting these facts, they just aren't allowing those arbitrary figures of what "should be" to negate the reality of the actual figures.
You could point to this being bad if you simply compare this $1.2B movie to movies that have grossed more than it, and that it didn't meet their arbitrary expectations, but that is their opinion. The fact is it is down almost 38% from TFA and Star Wars fans still supported it by bringing in 6X its budget....and that's a bad thing?
If TLJ is as bad as people say it is (it isn't) and still makes as much as it did on a $200M budget then Disney is laughing their way to the bank and will continue to do so with this trilogy and the next. Stick around, you'll see.
