She's made three $1 billion+ Star Wars films, that buys her a decade at least in Hollywood, that's how things work, ok.

Disney got Star Wars for a laugh by the way, $4 billion ... Lucas could have easily gotten $10 billion for this, that was a huge bargain for Disney, The Force Awakens alone likely made Disney somewhere in the range of $2+ billion in profit alone from all movie sales + merchandise + commercial tie-ins.  

A lot of people are better off sticking to video games on the business side because like I said the analogy here is like saying "the Nintendo president better be worried about his 1st half Switch performance and Labo underperforming, because he could get fired!". 

We all know that's a pretty stupid statement and is unlikely to happen. Kathleen Kennedy was producing blockbuster movies when half this board was in diapers. 

And the last one was super divisive, with this current one outright bombing. Can you please stop with the same debunked argument over and over?

And yeah, if the Switch were to start drastically underperform and labo was a bomb he could have very well faced replacement.

Do you just no understand how business works?

I've worked in the film business, it doesn't work how you think it does. If it did, James Cameron would never work again after The Abyss, Steven Spielberg wouldn't have worked again after Always, M.Night Shyamalan wouldn't have worked after like 5 bombs in a row. 

One hit movie in Hollywood alone buys you a lot of leeway, two hits and you will working for a long ass time, a track record of multiple billion+ pictures means you get to do what you want, it doesn't matter what some kid on the internet thinks. 

I don't like Michael Bay, the last Transformers movie underperformed, but Michael Bay is going to be able to make whatever he wants for the next 20 years. And if you think you're better/smarter, then great go write your own movie and get it made, otherwise lets pipe down on pretending to be experts when I doubt most of the people complaining have even ever worked 1 day on a movie set.
