| thismeintiel said: Lol, keep on reaching. Especially with that weak S.E. comparison. Oh boy. Here's the numbers that (1)Disney, and investors, care about. ~36% down. ~$740M down. And it has had worse legs than RO, being outperformed by it for the past 17 days. (2) Meaning that without that hyped up weekend, it would have barely outperformed RO. Currently, outside of opening weekend it is a mere 7% above it, and it will continue to fall. A freaking spinoff vs a main installment. And given that it has already lost ~60% of its screenings, it is looking unlikely it will stay in theaters as long as TFA and RO did. Finally, and probably more importantly, merchandise sales are down when compared to TFA and RO, as well. (3)Yea, I'm sure they are ecstatic with these results. |
1. You tell us what Disney cares about while leaving out the biggest thing that they care about, the ROI, which, all things considered is huge. This is Sophism, a fallacious way to deceit people. Your ONLY point you can make is it is down from TFA which all of us already agree on, obviously. You think Disney cares more about the 36% drop than the ROI? No I don't think you do and with this information we can safely say that Disney will continue to pull LARGE numbers with each SW movie still while being down over 30% from TFA.
2. Cool story. You just committed the Appeal to Probability fallacy, good job. Back to reality, that huge weekend exists, none of your "stories" are going to change that.
3. (Another fallacy? This is three already.) What a strawman, lol. No one is saying they are ecstatic about being down, but they aren't unhappy about making the amount of money they just made, that would be stupid to think.
Your argument is flawed, fallacious and pessimistic, try to be realistic.
