There is no manipulations with the RT score. Its genuine fans pissed about a certain storyline that shits on TFA and the whole saga. TLJ is very divisive and defenders can say what they will but this moview has made SW fans truly angry. Even The IMDB score is already down to 7.9. TFA is on 8.1 now.
its a disappointing performance, There is no embarrassing months anymore. People said February was that and March ect.. And now many movies opens there.
it broke even when it hit 600 million. Variety and buisnessinsider both reported this. BvS was their Avengers. The schedule was the fault here. Sandwiched between Thor/Hulk and TLJ. Was a terrible idea. They should have waited for January
holy shit SW is a monster. No movie can ever compete against this. I think Avatar will disappoint unless Cameron really comes up with something really new for it. Like almost Virtual reality 3D
