Film was a huge success.
Haters gonna hate.

And there it is: YOU may care about Luke's fate but millions of others loved it. The movie was never going to get close to TFA's box office draw, so take that off the table. I don't have anyone on ignore. That's pretty idiotic, isn't it? To ignore people on a message board? Even Chiefs Planet where so many are insufferable. I'm not asking why people didn't care for the movie. I understand why people didn't care for the movie. I disagree but I understand. And I won't argue with subjective opinion. That's completely stupid. What I'm trying to understand is how the film is a financial failure based on real world numbers, not on critical opinions of the film. If standard conventional wisdom is that a movie needs to make 2.5 times it's budget to make a profit... and TLJ did that and then some. And there is a strong case that at least 75% of the world wide audience liked the movie and that the people that didn't are a loud and vocal minority (which seems to be the case) then how is this movie an abject failure? I get that you're "in the industry" and "know people" and I get that you hated the movie. A lot of people did. And that's fine. I'm not arguing opinion. I'm sorry that you didn't like it. That sucks. I don't want to discount others' opinions at all. I happened to love it. I wish everyone had. But it feels to me like the people that liked it are calling it a success and those that didn't are calling it an abject failure. Both seem disingenuous and biased. So is there a truth? Is there a mathematical, factual reality? What was the budget for the film? How much did it make? What is the correlation between those numbers? How is the biggest film of the year and 1.3 BILLION dollars ever a failure? That's what I'm getting at. And, I'm sorry, as smart as you guys are, the only answers you're providing are "I HATED THIS MOVIE, RIAN JOHNSON RAPED MY CHILDHOOD, THIS MOVIE SUCKS, WHAT ABOUT LUKE, THIS MOVIE IS A FAIL!" On an artistic level, folks see it and have defended why they think it's a failure. I get that. But financially, the numbers don't seem to add up. So what am I missing? |

How am I acting like a dick? Because I disagree? There's plenty of room for honest, friendly discourse here. I'm not trying to be a dick. You're obviously confusing me with some other poster. I'm literally just trying to have a conversation, my friend.

Is Disney really concerned from what you've heard? Is there "panic" or is it just a simple re-evaluation? |

As she says in this video he is crumbling. There is no way in hell Disney doesn't have concerns going forward. |

They're concerned with how Solo and Episode IX will be received. There's serious concern about the direction of the franchise. These movies were supposed to be no-brainers. Rogue One overperformed their expectations so there was legitimate hope that Episode VIII wouldn't see much drop off from The Force Awakens. But $700 million? A Rian Johnson "Apology Tour"? Issues with Solo? Yeah, they didn't expect any of that. |
