Very good point. And it really shows just how big the OG trilogy was when they all did $1.2B (adjusted) WW, or more, without the greatly expanded market we have today. And yes, you are right that AOTC would be the only one not over $1B. It's not that far off, though. $989.5M. TPM did $1.74B, and ROTS did $1.19B. Of course, those films still didn't have the advantage of the much larger foreign market we have today. They weren't the greatest films, either. That's why a SW film underperforming (TLJ) in this huge market is such a big deal. And one that actually flops is a huge deal. Interestingly, when I went to go look up when I calculated those numbers, I came across a post that is pretty funny, now. "Sounds like the early buzz from advance screenings of Solo: A Star Wars Story are very positive, ruh roh, Star Wars not dead yet? lol." - Some Guy Ruh Roh, indeed. |
lol, glad to see little remarks get locked into your memory so long. I should be flattered.
