Forums - Movies & TV - The Fans Have Spoken, Last Jedi Drops A Massive 68%

Thanks for the info.



Around the Network

Figured I'll just stick with weekend updates. TLJ did $4.18M. This is 20.7% lower than RO for the same weekend. From here until it left theaters, RO made just $12M. For the past 17 days, TLJ has performed 13.3% worse than RO. If this continues, TLJ will make $10.4M, bringing DBO final to $621.1M, or 33.7% down. If the 53.4% FBO holds, final WW total will be $1.33B, or 35.7% down.

Now, for theatre count. TLJ has lost nearly 60% (58.8%) of its opening screenings. At the same time, TFA had lost only 38.2%. And RO had lost 50.7%. At this rate, it is looking very likely that by Weekend 8 it will have only ~30% of its original screenings left. This is seriously calling into question its ability to last 120+ days like TFA and RO did, as it is not even at the halfway point, being 45 days in.

I find it incredibly amusing how many times Forbes, Variety, and other outlets have written up some variation or other of "The Last Jedi is still a big win for Disney," "The Last Jedi is still a huge box office success," etc.....

All the trades are putting out articles like this at least once a week. Not transparent at all.

Didn't it get pulled from theaters in China already?

Because nobody was watching it

Seriously? Wow. Guess the yingyang (easy, the necklaces) sisters didn't do the trick.

Supposedly, Disney is going to try leaving "Star Wars" off the name for the Solo movie, in the hopes that more of the Chinese audiences will give it a shot

Huh? Why? Did Star Wars get radioactive there or something? Or was it just never popular there?
