RIP Episode VIII
As you may have heard, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has taken in more than a billion dollars worldwide, so far. $1.09 billion, to be exact.
But the folks over on Return of Kings still think that their boycott of the film was a HUGE SUCCESS. Hows that, you ask?
Well, as RoK contributor David Garrett figures it, if Return of Kings hadnt warned the men of the world that The Force Awakens is SJW propaganda, the film might have taken in roughly $4.2 million more than it did.
Thats right: it could have made $1,094,200,000 instead of the paltry $1,090,000,000 its taken in so far.
IN YOUR FACE, SJWs!
So how exactly does Garrett arrive at that $4.2 million figure? WITH SCIENCE.
"Fifty-five percent of respondents to a Return of Kings Twitter poll have said that online reporting of the social justice nature of The Force Awakens influenced their decision whether to see the film. Extended across our readership, with over 900,000 users accessing ROK between November 21 and December 21, this amounts to a potential direct impact of $4,219,456.54 (55% x $8.38 x 915,482) on total revenues. $8.38 is based on the average cinema ticket price in the US, which is now an all-time high."
Well, you cant argue with that!
And that $4,219,456.54 figure doesnt even take into account the other right-wing media outlets that warned their readers about the evil SJW agenda behind The Force Awakens. Add that in, Garrett suggests, and the total cost of the right-wing boycott is in the tens of millions of dollars.
Here is the article from the RoK website triumphantly declaring their success if you want more detailed info on how this totally worked.
