It made much less than it was projected to make, was beaten easily by a Marvel standalone film, and lead to a steep decrease in franchise sales, including the first ever SW flop, Solo. Seems like the DVD sales will be no different. Last we heard, TLJ's home video sales are about half that of TFA. They state that the others are WAY behind, but not only is BP only 390K behind it, BP released to home video almost two months after TLJ did. Oh, and let's not wait til IW and JW2 numbers come in before we claim victory. In the end, TLJ probably won't even be in the Top 3 by the time the year is over. Pathetic for a main installment in the franchise. |
You accuse people of cherry picking.
You then go on to imply that a film with a targeted sci-fi fanbase was defeated by just any old film. In fact it was beaten by the most high-impact demonstration of diversity in a superhero film in history, a film with a much broader target audience, a film that is itself part of the highest grossing film series of all time.
You then go on to compare TLJ to TFA, despite TFA being the first installment in the franchise in over a decade, and ignoring that each of the previous trilogies also faced significant drop offs from film one to film two (to say nothing of the fact neither had a spin-off film in between them contributing to fatigue).
But yeah, sure, the OP was cherry picking.
