Mainline Star Wars is always going to make bank even if it sucks. There's too much history.
Almost beat Endgame in presales.
Anyone thinking this is gonna bomb is delusional.
Harrison Ford wanted out. He got a good leading role and made fucking bank. He got what he wanted, so I'm happy for him.this is where i was at before TFA. then Han happened. then General Leia happened. then R2 under a sheet happened. then Admiral Ackbar happened. then Luke happened.
now, i fear it.
not gonna watch them ruin the Emperor.
No film costs 400 million to make. Stop being so emotionally invested in some films failure.A billion WW would have to be considered a bomb for Star Wars. Especially for Disney since so much of SW future is on this film.
Going from 2 billion to a 1 billion is losing half its money from the 1st to the 3rd movie. Thats a huge loss for Disney. And at this point I have to imagine the budget of this movie must be in the 300-400 million range. All the reshoots and reshuffling of the deck cost a lot of $$$.
You're an idiot to actually believe that pre-sale crap.Almost beat Endgame in presales.

Where is the source? I wanna share this with a friend
I haven't read the script leaks and don't want to know what they are.
But when it comes to Star Wars, if you are upset about the script, it just means that they didn't do what you wanted them to do with the characters.
That doesn't make it a bad film.
That already happened with VII and VIII. The thing is that this mega creature won't die overnight but you can clearly see the fast decline. If IX makes less than VIII then Star Wars will be practically done.it will kill the franchise
Nah, if the last shit can't bomb, nothing with star wars attached to the name can right now...
Yeah i was talking about the main series, my bad.The last Star Wars movie was Solo. It lost an estimated 80 to 250 million dollars.

I still have to watch solo, on one hand you have glover-lando, but in the other hand you have the shitty mother of dragon who can't act to save his life...
Even if TLJ hadn't been a raging trash fire, there was no universe were it was going to get even close to touching the sort of numbers TFA did.The main series you could say so too.
The cum knuckle shills will say "it still did over a billion dollars" to which anyone with half a brain will reply, well that's 800 million less than TFA and the home video sales were less than 40% of TFA. Again the shills will blame digital media, but digital media is not a post 2016 invention. "But it still did over a billion at the box office" Well, cockwombles, the last I checked you don't get your money back if you didn't like the movie.
In short people were not expecting a franchise killing cluster fuck when they bought those opening day tickets.

I was thinking more along the lines of TFA being the first new SW movie in a decade and the hype being absolutely insane compared to anything before it. I don't recall the hype leading into TLJ being anywhere close to the mainstream appeal of TFA. TLJ could have been the best movie in the world and it wouldn't have made as much as TFA.Of course, because hardly anyone went to see it twice and few people bought the video
'cause it was shit!

True, the video sales are probably the most telling sign there of people's feelings.This is also true, the home video sales are the most telling. I saw TFA 4 times in the theatre & bought the Blu Ray, Rogue twice & the blu ray, TJL once was enough, never, ever ever, again - Solo? FUCK YOU, SOLO
True, the video sales are probably the most telling sign there of people's feelings.
Though that's going to get harder and harder to judge in the future as streaming continues to take off, particularly with Disney+. I don't even remember the last blu ray I bought.
I don't think that it will bomb.
Absolute worst case scenario would that it makes less than a billion.
I could see Disney executives being unhappy with how much it makes but I feel like there is NO WAY this one is a catastrophic failure.
I think the movie will review poorly and will not even have the Rian Johnson defenders sticking up for it.
People who hated TLJ will probably see this one as better but not by much.
People who loves TLJ will probably see this one as being worse.
I think we'll only be seeing Star Wars shows on streaming sites and video games for a good long while after this.
After all that hype the sequel trilogy really didn't get going.
It did make a lot of money though so maybe they will do more.
IMO one will be used to market the other. get people watching Mando and have them getting more and more invested in the franchise. it's no coincidence that one of the ROS teasers was 60% old movies. the new characters have failed, all they have to go on is nostalgia at this point.I have a theory that they have given up on ROS and are pushing The Mandalorian to win back fans....not ROS.
The new Starwars will easily equal Infinity war 1&2 at the box office.It won’t come close to Infinity War’s numbers, much less End Game’s .
Almost beat Endgame in presales.

Cinemablend said:Solo's pre-ticket sales are already double that of Black Panther.
I went around spoiling plot stuff to my former bosses, they still don't care and are going to see it. So I think it won't bomb

it won’t bomb. Probably do the same as TLJ. People always want to see the end plus the Emperor and Kylo are draws. To think it will bomb is to not think rationally.
Having billions of dollars doesn't mean anything if you're a bad person or if it's a bad product.Mad that we're in a time where a film could make a billion dollars and still bomb.
