And the first reply to the post:

"Yet it sold better in its first week than Rogue One did according to this site. And that seemed like it was really well received by fans. Is it not possible that TFA was a mega-event due to it being the first Star Wars film in a decade?"

Seems reasonable to me. Domestically, TFA was the highest-grossing movie by far of the past 20 years, fifth highest-grossing of the "blockbuster era" of cinema (1975 - present), and is the the fourth best-selling Blu-ray ever so far. But by all means, let's continue to use that as our bar for success. And why not apply that logic to everything? We could argue that the PS4 is still a failure because it won't sell nearly as well as the PS2, for example.
 

The difference is Rogue One was a side story. The Last Jedi was a numbered Episode. A 50%+ drop from one episode to the next is ridiculous.

Rogue one is also on Netflix. Which, doesn't explain first week but its legs won't be something to compare. The announcement was made a couple months after it's dvd launch
