I saw it twice because I bought tickets in September.
Once for Thursday night at Arclight Hollywood and again on Saturday at the Burbank AMC for my family. I haven't seen it since and will not repeat that mistake with Episode IX. I'm unsure about Solo. |

1st Star Wars movie in 10 years 1st Star Wars movie with main original characters in 32 years turned out to be re-hash of Ep. IV Ep.

It must suck, just like Empire's lower box office means it sucked and killed the franchise. ![]() Do you know anything about movies? Please let this mean you won't see IX and we don't have to hear you drone on about it. |

Tuesday was a 71.6% drop from last week. Wednesday was a 76.1% drop from last week. Thursday (today) will probably look even worse because of the weather.
The weekend numbers will be interesting to look at, in order to see if there's a make up bounce. |

It’ll probably top out at $650 or so Domestically. China doesn’t give a shit about Star Wars so there’s not much more coming in from those territories. This is definitely going to disappoint the Disney brass. |

Claythan's expectation of it reaching $1.5b is by no means a certainty. Even if it's met, though, Disney's not going to be happy with a drop off of half a billion dollars. |

I'm thinking they aren't and you might be. Dane, I saw the ads for Pitch Perfect 3 and I think it might be more up your alley. You should check it out. |

TFA earned $836 million domestically in its first 4 weeks, then $100 million in its final 12. That doesn’t bode well for a film that’s well off that mark. |

I saw this again last night. My first screening was opening night, so it's been a couple of weeks between screenings.
All of the issues I had after the first screening vanished during the second. This movie is really powerful and complex. I really dig the themes being explored. The film really resonates. I remembered the pace being off and the tone mixed. But that wasn't the case this time. Knowing what the film is, what the story is, really helped me watch this thing critically rather than through the amped eyes of expectation and wishful thinking. I'm glad I saw it a second time in the theater. I doubt I'll go a third time because there's so much else going on and other things I want to see. But this is probably my third favorite film in the franchise, so far. |

Looks like my original prediction after the first weekend will end up being right after all. I thought the slight downtick in the week-over-week drop in receipts before Jumanji would get it to $700 million but it looks less likely:
“Ever since New Year’s Day, Jumanji has been whipping Last Jedi on a daily basis. That was the same case on Thursday with Jumanji making an estimated $6M and Last Jedi $4.4M. Jumanji stands at over $208M stateside while Last Jedi is now 29% behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens just prior to its fourth weekend. Rival distributors believe that Last Jedi‘s end game is now in the mid $600M range versus the $700M initially projected. Currently the Rian Johnson-directed movie is the sixth highest on the all-time domestic list, just under Disney’s Marvel’s The Avenger which made $623.3M.” |
