    People need to get over this 1B=success mentality. It’s outdated.

     

    How am I supposed to judge a movie's success then, by its praise comment/review-detraction comment/review ratio? Can't really do that with Star Wars because I'd lose my mind.

     

    I get that ROS is going to make less than Force Awakens, and will likely make less or be slightly on par with Last Jedi, but a billion is still a gargantuan number and adds one more billion to Disney's massive year. That and Disney struck gold with Mandalorian and Star Wars may have its second wind through the Disney Plus service doesn't really make me worried.

     

    Star Wars will never die. It may trip and fall on its face and people may clamor around and point and jeer, but it'll get right back up and keep going.

     

    Spoiler

    That being said, I'm glad Lion King and Frozen 2 will likely both outgross it globally.

    So...not to spin this...

     

    But 22M is still good money.

     

     

     

    This forum likes things they don't agree with or like to fail. Like another forum, but at least that one was put out of its misery.

     

    I mean yeah, technically Star Wars may, and I'm gagging as I say this, underperform with just a little over a billion worldwide  but that would make it one more billion+ movie Disney has done this year - with Avengers, Captain Marvel, Lion King and Frozen.

    I’m going out to lunch in a few hours with a childhood friend and they have free movie tickets so they asked if I wanted to go. Of course I’m not passing up an opportunity to go to the movies so I asked what they wanted to watch and they go “The only movie I know out is Frozen 2.” 
     

    Safe to say I cancelled our lunch plans and I’m now in search of a new childhood friend. Any takers?

  4. So half a billion domestic and over a billion worldwide when all is said and done. Oddly enough, even the weakest performing Star Wars tends to do more than other movies. And I really ain't gonna say Rise of Skywalker is weak if it hits 500 million. If it petered out at 200-300, I may have thought the franchise was in trouble though.

     

    As stated last week, even when Disney "loses," it wins. The franchise really won't have anything to worry about. It'll go in hiatus and then the next big film will come out in a few years, likely the Kevin Feige one and the franchise will have another humongous opening, rinse and repeat.

  5. A Cats movie was always going to get bad reviews due to not having a real story. The play was always more spectacle and I do recall people saying that while popular, the play wasn't "great."

     

    The problem with the film is that there's no spectacle, just uncanny valley. Well, more like uncanny black hole. The only way this film would have worked is two methods

     

    1. Fully Animated Film (which almost happened) or "Faux Live Action" with photoreal CGI cats singing and prancing around.

    2. Basically what we got but instead of CGI we have the actors in makeup resembling what was in the play.

     

    No, what we got is a movie that made critics minds go bonkers and have some groups of people saying its the next big midnight movie like The Room and Rock Horror, when, it, it really is not. My God, its not.  Rocky Horror is legitimately fun and Room is a laugh riot, while Cats is just.......EHRUAGGH

    Dwayne Johnson slipped up, departing from his "nice guy" act, to deliver a VENOMOUS message to his critics 😂. Huh huh huh 😂...huh huh huh 😂...

    We all do.
    But here’s the thing - envious and insecure people can’t break they what they didn’t build.
    So let the haters keep being noisy and jealous, while we keep quietly building with a smile"

     

    huh huh huh 😂...

     

    You sounding a little Beavisy there, man. Don't ever go full Beavis 😛

     

    I thought it's always been establish that the Rock doesn't care for film critics.

  7. You know, despite Star Wars "disappointing" but still having a gargantuan opening and will probably be number one for several weeks till at least Dolittle/Bad Boys, at least I get pleasure watching Cats die to the point that NBCUniversal is making fun of it on their various late shows and SNL

     

     

    Even when Disney disappoints, it wins.

     

     

  8. Going back to Fallen Kingdom though, out of my time here, that opening weekend thread was one of the best. So many people thought it was going to underperform, then had their predictions stomped on. Lot of you guys are really on point with box office, and other times ..whoooo boy.

     

    But then again, when the first Christopher Robin preview dropped, I predicted it would almost have a 200 million opening weekend, so what the ever loving hell do I know :D

     

    Also Aladdin's was real good.

    Funny how Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom didn't drop 700mil from its predecessor. It didn't drop 500mil either. 

    Oh boo hoo, instead of 2 billion, Last Jedi made 1.3 billion. The dumbass movie still made more money than any more deserving film that year.

     

    Oh hell, who am I kidding, arguing with a site where some members think Frozen 2 is underperforming.

  10. If Star Wars pulls Lion King numbers that's perfectly fine. It gives Disney another billion and give the net another reason to bemoan that Disney is too powerful.

     

    The Force Awakens was a major once in a lifetime reboot event (with Jurassic World earlier in 2015 being the second reboot event). The sequels were always going to drop regardless.
