    TLJ is just as shallow as TFA, just more pretentious. The notion that it's so deep that people who don't like didn't get it is absurd.

     

    It's a bad thing because if it hadn't been so mediocre and poorly received it would be well over $700M by now.

    Hence its FLOP status

     

    Its not a FLOP like Waterworld, John Cater and Gigli, however, it will be up there will how fast it crashed and burned after the 220 opening. It will be on the lists of blockbuster flops though on many websites in the future

     

    So, in a sense its a FLOP. Honestly, I enjoyed the film but it was a 'Meh" to me as far as the series goes

    Putting it's less than optimal legs aside, TLJ won't need the dollar bump or any other bump to get to 600. It will get there easily next/6th weekend and cross 610 shortly so wouldn't say it's crawling. Will go over 600 by a far bigger margin than BATB went over 500.

    It has no chance to beat TA now! The Avengers are safe

    You're taking it too personally. This is a box office forum and comparing numbers objectively is what we do. Note nobody in this thread said anything about TLJ having a bad performance (you interjected that yourself). Corpse has been doing these type of analyses for many years, so it's hardly some kind of unique vendetta against TLJ you seem to believe here.

    just stating that their focus is up against TFA

    Rogue One opened far lower than TLJ in Japan, so it's not the same thing at all. It's not my take on it either. This is straight from Corpse's analysis.

     

     

    This whole comparing TFA to TLJ crap has to stop. There was no Star Wars film for 12 years, people were excited. 

     

    Thanks about Avatar 2 - The film will have the same effect at the box-office as TFA. Its going to hit 2 billion easy.

     

    Come back when Avatar 3 is released and we'll compare its drop from Avatar 2 together.

     looking like about a 6.2x multiplier for TLJ, which is very average blockbuster legs by Japan standards.

    Of course your going to try and make it sound bad. Reality is that it about to hit 60 million and should close at 62-65 million. TFA did 105 million 

     

    Very, very good........ think what you want

     

    Rogue One did

    Or - I know it’s crazy - but it could be because most (like 99% of) people have zero interest in seeing a gay movie with pretentious dialogue and absolutely no interest at all for almost anyone. The movie just sucked. Even if it wasn’t gay, it would just be a bad Nicholas Sparks novel made into a movie, that’s how it felt. It’s not like there’s any story to propel the film. It was absolutely godawful, one of the most unwatchable movies I can imagine. They won’t convince anyone outside of a major metro area to see that and even then good luck!

    don't want to get political

     

     

    I seen The Post,  luckily I had bought tickets early because all the afternoon and early evening shows were sold out. The largest auditorium was packed with people that clapped, cheered, laughed and some even did a standing ovation at the end. People were walking out of the theater said "brilliant, amazing, very good, and one said "relevant to the times". After, I peaked in the smallest auditorium and all of two people were watching Star Wars: The Last Jedi. 

     

    Also, I just wanted to say that the film deserves multiple awards.

    Can anyone confirm the rumor that Star Wars The Last Jedi will drop a record 1700 cinemas this week? This drop would be the largest drop for a week since a film titled John Carter graced the big screens. 

     

    I know the cinema that my son works AMC Mission Valley in San Diego, got around the deal that @Disney made regarding screens. This week they moved Jumanji to the largest screens and TLJ to the smallest screens. Apparently, the deal was screens and not auditorium size.

     

    Wondering if anyone has some concrete evidence in the 1700.

    Trust me, im very neutral on how different websites report on box office and movies, but Collider is just shit. They literally dont care about anything outside big franchises, mainly SW and the MCU. The YT channel is vastly better in comparison.

    Well, I personally know some of the great people that work at Collider. I'm not afraid to stand up for my fellow journalists. Good people's IMHO.

    So Star Wars: The Last Jedi, to some is the biggest blockbuster flop of the ages on this website, will finish (Drum Roll, Please…)

     

    #5 All-time Domestic

     

    and 

     

    #8 WW

     

    Not to bad for a 9th film is series. 

     

     WAIT - cue the adjusted for inflation folks, because I don't want to have to read 20 pages about it.

     

    #33 All-time • All Time Adjusted for Ticket Price Inflation Domestic 

     

    and somewhere around

     

    #67 All-time • All Time Adjusted for Ticket Price Inflation WW

     

     

    Not sure about the overseas number, but its a good guess. 

     

     

    Anyhow, far from the FLOP people love to make it here

     

     

    Thanks for playing!!

    All day long it's about the failure "The Last Jedi" is, and how wonderful "Jumanji" and just about every other film is. 

     

    Jumanji

    Total Lifetime Grosses
    Domestic:  $219,172,666    58.2%
    + Foreign:  $157,514,016    41.8%

    = Worldwide:

    		 $376,686,682

     

     

    The Last Jedi 

    Total Lifetime Grosses
    Domestic:  $555,546,602    49.2%
    + Foreign:  $573,500,000    50.8%
    = Worldwide:  $1,129,046,602

     

     

    Flop or no flop, its running about 420 million OS more and 330 DOM more

     

    750 Million PLUS, lol

     

    Don't give me the "but it's Star Wars!" it SHOULD

     

    nope, you lose that argument when you called it a flop

    Digging Deeper!

     

     

    I really didn't want to post because I'm a reader, however, I did find an actual FORBES article regarding the 800 million.

     

    I guess we should be fair, I'm sure TLJ's numbers would be similar. 

     

    I got the link from here and dug further......     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_Last_Jedi#cite_note-97

    Box office

    As of January 4, 2018, Star Wars: The Last Jedi has grossed $549 million in the United States and Canada, and $573.5 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $1.122 billion.[6] It had a worldwide opening of $450.8 million, the fifth-biggest of all time, including $40.6 million that was attributed to IMAX screenings, the second biggest for IMAX.[95][96] It was estimated that the film would needed to have grossed $800 million worldwide to break even.[97]

     

    Ofcourse, LOL, its Wikipedia break even.[97]

     

    However, looking further, they got the info from a FORBES article. FORBES is reputable.

     

     

    LINK! https://www.forbes.com/sites/markhughes/2017/12/12/review-star-wars-the-last-jedi-is-a-gloomier-flawed-but-ultimately-successful-sequel/#60d6e29a2e79

     

    But keep in mind, "underperformance" at $1.3-1.399 billion wouldn't mean it's a "financial failure," since break-even point for this movie is somewhere around $800 million (budget plus global marketing etc being in the vicinity of $400 million, and the studio getting roughly half of the box office receipts, to oversimplify a bit). Underperforming just means it plays lower than expected and lower than it probably should have and could have. I don't expect that to happen at all, mind you, I'm just noting for the record where that line sits and why it doesn't mean "failure."

    I don't post here much because I'm mostly a page reader, however, why is it that I C so much hate for the new Star Wars film here? It's like people are excited to see a poor box office. Finishing #5 all-time DOM is not half bad.

     

     

    I just don't get it. Anyhow, thanks to the people who post the numbers and contribute interesting topics, because many (like myself) actually read them.
