Huh? Not sure I follow. Either way, don't think it would've worked. He, Kasdan and Lucas Film should've just mapped out a proper trilogy from the get go.
Just thinking out loued what if Disney told JJ Abrahams in private that this would be the first part in a 2 parts finale and just suprise everybody with a end card that says "Part 1 of 2", how would this affects the box office of this OW and the whole box office of what would had been a 2 part finale for TROS hypothetically. (sorry for my bad english)

Still funny that people still likes TFA
I love it at first, and i still think it was a great introduction to the new characters. I only hated the second Star Destroyer plot-
-
Just a random thought i got:
J.J. is good at creating cliffhangers (loved lost for example). What if Disney told him in secrecy "this will be the first part in a two parter finale, you now have two movies to write a good finale to TFA and a cliffhanger for TROS, and then Disney would surprise everybody at the end of this movie with something like "TROS PART I", how much would have this movie make OW and how would it maybe change all the ideas that JJ Abrahams did have for TROS

They "borrowed" quite a lot from Harry Potter, one key scene comes to mind for example.
I myself loved HP so much, loved the books so much and the movies, i skipped a test at my university to go watch HP1 at the theaters at 10 am (first showing at my city). And even i am 40 right now, i want to do a Fawks tattoo in my leg where i got a really bad scar this year.
I myself welcome this new space wizards and witches, headcannon SW and HP are at the same universe lol

Sorry, but it can’t be amazing if you’re on your phone/computer while you’re supposed to be watching the film. And it can’t be that tense if it hasn’t held your attention for even half the runtime.
I refuse to watch any movie with dogs in it since i watched the movie "Marley and me" at the theater, i was crying like a little bitch for half a movie and all around me, not only my friends, were laughing at me.

I’ll be honest, as big a fan as I am...my expectations for the movie were a 20% drop from TLJ.
It didn’t have the hook of a cliffhanger and is the fifth SW movie in 4 years. Sure, you can throw ‘but it’s the finale’ at me - but really? Even I don’t feel that, so general audiences aren’t going to. This is just another huge movie in a series they’ve got used to seeing constantly in recent years.
I’d have predicted $500-550 million domestic and see no reason why that’s not going to play out.
it wouldn’t be BOT if we didn’t think the Sky was falling. But there are perfectly logical reasons as to why this is doing what it’s doing. Reason will win out in the coming days I’m sure 🤔
I think that a lot of people here, and i mean a lot, are underestimating (even if they liked TLJ) how mucho that movie hurted this movie TROS weekend box office.

As an ideas guy. George has a limitless imagination, but he's definitely weak in the dialogue writing and directing actors. But he could oversee everything, make sure nothing happens in a movie that will do damage to other parts of the story. Write a story and then let someone else do the screenplay. Stuff like that.
Also, he loves the characters and the world so he would be adamant to made them right. He also had the storyilne guidelines for Episodes 7, 8 y 9.

Saw the movie today in latin spanish, even if i wasn't able to watch it in English I absolutely loved everything. Show yourself is one of the best music sequences ever in a film, beautiful.
Hola! soy de Venezuela. Yo vi Frozen 2 dos veces en el cine, una vez en español y la otra en inglés, las dos veces me encantó.

IMO, under TLJ would be disappointing. 1 billion is bomb territory...
lol people thinking this is a bomb, a flot, really makes me laugh with all respect, it is a disappointment, not a bomb.

A few thoughts from me (first, sorry for my bad english).
I hated The Last Jedi, it was beautiful directed but come on! the missed the amrk with the whole Fin Rose story line. The people behind this movies are being paid millions of dollars, the have the responsibility to deliver a god product and TLJ wasn't one.
I watched The OT in VHS, then i watched this movies at the cinema when my loved George Lucas released the with the digital changes.
I watched TPM, AOTC and rots at the theaters, i loved them all 3. And i watched all the last 3 movies at te cinema too.
I watched TROS yesterday and i love it!!!! it was so much fun and so entertaining and well directed, the last scenes with (don't know if i can write names for the spoilers policy) but fuc... me this was awesome and so cinematic, it was so awesome watching this in the big screen, i loved, i am gonna watch it again tonight, i told my boyfriend to watch it together but he only watched Episode IV when i came out at the theater ( i am really considering to dumping him lol, but now my goal is to watch this movies with him in blu ray together).
They really missed the mark after Episode VII established Fin, Rey and Ren so well to make this characters in TLJ more awesome so they can used them in the next movies, JJ Abrahams did everything he could but TLJ just fucked this up.
Also, for me, they can make 10 movies every year and i will watch them, but i want them to make GOOD movies, this is not so hard to ask, and is not trolling, i love this movies, they make millions in profit, the writers make a lot of money, come on, write good star wars movies and cohesive and coherent stony lines.
Also, the Kennedy lady, i don't have nothing against her, but if she truly was in charge of this trilogy she just didnt do a good job, creatively and commercially. I know this lastet movies made humungus amount of money, but they had the potential to make so much more so this is money that the owners missed getting.
Gonna watch the movie for the second time again today and then in digital.
I want this movie to exceed expectations money was because i want more Star Wars Movies this next years, but i want good movies of course.

Finally saw this. It was released here just this weekend and I just found out today (out of theaters tomorrow!!!!). Great movie and JLo was truly wonderful.
Really happy about the award buzz. I know she'll be delighted with a nomination but it reminds me of Emma Stone in La La Land where it wasn't a traditional showy performance but the charisma carried the whole movie so I hope she at least has a shot. (Of course she isn't as "respected" as an actress as Emma but I'm under the impression she's well liked and respected for her hard work, and it's supporting instead of lead so who knows)
I think that Jennifer will get a Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe win.
If Gwyneth Paltrow won the Oscar for Shakespeare In love, and Sharon Stone was nominated for one for Casino i think Jennifer Lopez can do it.
And for the Oscars and the golden globes could be a win when they nominated her because unlike other nominates in past years at least Hustlers is a Box Office hit which could translate in better numbers for the award shows.
Jennnifer Lopez, te amo mami!!!

The issue is Ultron failed to excite the fanbase to watch it many times and Civil War sort of did not break out to the casual crowd as much.
That is why those films had eh legs.
I loved AOU and i watched Civil War first day at the theater (it was full) but imho civil war want that good of a movie and the color palette was just so bland, like eating a harboiled egg wit no salt. That is why agree with you about the legs of Civil War. A lot of people went to see it at first but the didn't had much repeat business.

Oh man I disagree big time. Love is an open door is cute but I like several songs more. Let it go signature hit is missing but that's hard to replicate. Lost in the woods 80s ballad was awesome and hilarious
I really liked Lost in the woods. i liked Frozen 2 a lot is just not asChristmasy and doesnt have catchy songs as Frozen I, iis all that i am saying, i truly believed that Frozen II would become the biggest box office movie for 2019 over Star Wars 9 and TLK. I am a fan no a hater
Want to give you an example from pop music, a lot of people say that the new music from Carly Rae Jepsen is better than Call Me Maybe, but Call me maybe was just the catchier song, thats all what i am saying, Frozen II doesnt have any song as catchier as let it go or do you want to build a snowman, the closest i can think is Into the Unkown.
In box office numbers or comercial success imho it doesnt matter is a song better or worse than let it go, what does matter is it is a catchy and liked as let it go or do you want to build a snowman.

That's fair.
For folks saying music wasn't nearly as good.....
Lost in the Woods, Into the Unknown, Show Yourself, The Next Right Thing, When I was older, All is Found. So many good choices.
I can talk only about my self.
I am a fan for example of pop music, and catchy song is about money success. Personaly i am not saying that the songs of frozen II are better or worse that the song of frozen I, but they dont have any song as catchy as the song of the first movie, i mean even if you take Do you want to build a Snowman is a catchier song that any song of Frozen 2.
My favorite song from Frozen II is Into the Unknown, i think is a beautiful song, but i dont think is as catchy as the songs from Frozen I.

Problem with Frozen is no matter how popular they are, they can only touch their core demographic + some collateral consumer group whereas Pixar film like FD, i2 or TS4, they are not only attracting those families but too extend their target base beyond their usual demo.
Incredibles is really just in another box office league, Disney should really announce Incredibles 3 as a conclusion of a trilogy it would enormous.
ABot what you wrote about Frozen i kid of disagree a little bit, no movie do these kind of number targeting just a certain demo with some collateral demo spillover.

Thinking out loud here.
Frozen 2 will be huge but think about what if they make Frozen III how huge it will be if they marketed as the conclusion or the finale of the trilogy.

People who like the original will eat this up like crazy I'm certain it will probably finish just around 500 million domestic
I was obsessed with the let it go song, i right now am a 40 year old man.
When frozen 1 came out i didn't like the villain reveal so much, for me it was like it came from nowhere but i liked the movie overall and i loved the song let it go, i was obsessed watching the covers in you tube all the time, i also, put at the time the song in my playlist at work. It is such a great song. (So imagine my clients faces when they saw a Bearish 30 something guy serving them coffee an cake sing it let it go almost out loud lol)
Now i am 40 year old and i watched frozen 2 already at the theaters, it was good but i think that not having another smash hit song like let it go will hurts Frozen II legs, it is already of course a huge box office hit but imagine if it have another really catchy song how much bigger it could be.
I agree what somebody else wrote here, they should have put the song let it go somewhere in the movie and not just that little cameo, imagine all the kids, and mothers and parents singing let it go again at the movie theater watching frozen 2.
Gonna watch Frozen II for the second time at the teather because is my sister birthday and i will take her out for sushi and to see Frozen II, even if she don't want to see frozen II i still are gonna see it again at the theater.
Wanted to add tha Let it go and Elsa and Anna are huge cultural icons, where i live there is a shopping mall and every Christmas time there is let it go at full volume with Anna and Elsa greeting kids and people and taking pictures with them, at that mall Elsa and Ana are on par with Santa every Christmas at that mall.
I truly believe that Frozen II would be the biggest movie from 2019 outgrossing Star Wars 9 and TLK. I still can see it but i am not so sure anymore.

A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood isn't a Christmas movie but it FEELS like a Christmas movie, because Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers is kinda like Hallmark became a person. That could help it. It's why I'm personally waiting till next weekend, tbh. With Last Christmas flopping this will be my "get in the holiday mood" movie.
I love Tom Hanks, he is such a great actor, y just wish he take more ¿experimental? roles or at least roles that are not so safe, this role just seems like boring Oscar Bait.

the racist white soccer moms didn't want to take their kids to see a POC princess. We have seen it happen before (princess and the frog)
really liked Princess and the Frog, I wish i got more support from people like Black Panther had. I suppose that if Princess and the Frog get released today it would get better box office.

I never took the claims seriously that Disney was becoming a monopoly by buying Fox but it is quite clear that the consumers have made up their mind that Disney is the only product that they are buying. That doesn't make them a monopoly though. Not yet at least. The other studios need to step up and make movies that people actually want to throw down 30-100 dollars a pop to see. Cause it's way too easy to wait for the streaming release to justify spending that type of money weekend after weekend. I see maybe 2 or 3 movies a month now if even that and most of the time it is a super hero film or a horror film. Movies that I can actually feel should be watched with a big crowd. Rocketman looks good but I can wait to see it on red box.
I dont know if this will seem coherent because english is not my first language, but i feel that Disney (and Marvel) are the only studios that are a bran on them self.
I feel that when people go to see a Pixar, Disney or a marvel movie now they go see it in part because is a Disney or Pixar or a Marvel movie. I don't think any other studios have that advantage now ( i am not counting lucas film "Disney" because i think that the brand with their movies is Star Wars), but i don't think any other Studio is a Brand on itself.
I mean, no other studio right now, Sony or Fox or dreamworks can sell a movie and made people go see a movie because is from their studios like Disney, Pixar or marvel can right now.
So really it was great for Disney to grow this name as brands, no other studio had made this movie, so in my mind is not a monopoly ist briant bussney strategy from Disney.

Hello everybody, i don't writ much because english is not my first language and so hi have problems expressing what i want to say .
Lets be honest, if they you made the sequel to movie faster instead of the batman and ninja spinoff this movie would have been as massive as the first lego movie. That for me is is the only and simple answer.
Then they could have made the Batman Spinoff, and that ninja spin off or whatever they would want, but the main attraction was the Lego Movie, they should build that first, made the first and faster after the first lego movie, and then focus on the spinoff years later after the third or fourth "the Lego Movie" .
Also, i am sorry, the opening weekend you can say whatever you want but its all about marketing, if the marketing would have good the opening weekend for the lego movie 2 would have been big (i don't care if the spend millions and millions of dollars in marketing but the marketing was wrong because it didn't put seats in the theaters the first weekend). IMHO Marketing its what makes opening weekends big, and if the movie is good, Word of mouth its what makes the movie legs big.
TL DR, making spinoffs, before making a direct sequel faster was a big mistake, and the marketing failed in making the opening weekend bigger.
