It's not going to get to $1.5b
It's probably won't get to $1.4b It may not get to $1.35b It's looking at a probable $650m - $700m+ drop from TFA, and the $700m+ number looks to be the more likely track as of now. |

Week 4, TLJ did barely one million more than Rogue One. From Weeks 5-8, it's doing approximately $1 million less than R1 per week. If not for the huge opening, this film would have come in closer to Rogue One overall. |

![]() If you don't count a big chunk of money it brought in, it didn't do as well! If you don't count the Eagles first couple of scores, they don't even win the Super Bowl...they suck! |

![]() Unlike Rogue One, the huge opening was due to anticipation of a new Star Wars episode. TLJ doesn’t have “legs” and has been underperforming in regards to Rogue One. I don’t expect Solo to have a huge opening, either, but if the movie is good, it’ll have a nice run. |

If TLJ wasn't so divisive and actually answered questions posed in The Force Awakens, or at least was a fun movie, return business would have huge. Instead, Rian Johnson's "Apology Tour" continues to this day, meeting with any and every media outlet, whether print or internet show, trying to defend decisions he made in the film. It's so bad at this point that Lucasfilm has hired the original Rogue One scribe, Gary Whitta, to write a 6 issues comic in order to fill in the blanks and give a much deeper backstory to TLJ. If a director needs to defend his film nearly 2 months after its release, and the parent company of said film needed to hire an experienced, successful screenwriter to fill in the blanks and hopefully make said film better, we're talking about a bad film, period. As I've said since last summer, many Lucasfilm staffers were thrilled when JJ Abrams was hired to co-write and direct Episode IX because, in their words, he would "right the ship". Larry Kasdan, screenwriter of The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and Solo, also expressed his grievances with TLJ, called it an "Odd, weird movie" months before its release. People that had seen the film knew it was going to be divisive, yet they released it, anyway. The bottom line, despite the 1.35 billion in revenues, is that TLJ failed to deliver across the board. If Lucasfilm can avoid that in the future, they'll be just fine. If they can't, well, I'd assume that there will be changes made sooner rather than later. |

So has there been any word on Rian losing his trilogy?
I really hope not. I REALLY enjoyed TLJ. |

Disney's studios, media and interactive segments failed to reach projected earnings.
