    My goodness you are talking about four movies that all crossed a barrier that fewer than fifty movies in the history of cinema have done. You are really reaching here to try to imply that something is wrong with Star Wars.

     

    His perspective is perfectly logical. Disney/stakeholders surely can't be happy with a movie underperforming and a brand diminishing.

    From a non-stakeholder POV, yes, great achievemens, but from the POV of someone who's been promised great returns to their investment, it doesn't matter how many movies achieved the same or not.

    The MCU had a few duds (the first two Thor films, Iron Man 2 and Age of Ultron) but that didn’t stop audiences from seeing Iron Man 3 or Thor 3 or the next Avengers film. Why? Because they were well received. 

     

    Because they moved on. As @Deep Wang said, 1 movie cannot easily hurt an entire established franchise. What turned a lot of fans and non-fans off was the constant bickering between the fans and RJ/Disney/media that went on for months.

    Huh? TFA 2B+, RO 1B+, TLJ 1.3B+, ROS 1.2B+ most likely. Mandalorian got folk signing up for D+ in hordes. 

     

    4 billion property + well over a billion in production + whatever are the marketing costs. Let's say 5,5 billion.

     

    From the box office you have 5,5 billion, but Disney would get around 50-60% domestic and 30% OS (cause someone's gotta pay for Buena Vista).  It's definitely lower than 3 billion.

     

    Now merch and licensing, that can easily surpass the box office sales, but you have to account that Disney would get even less there, as for the most part they are not involved in the production/distribution, and the profits have to be shared with other giants like Hasbro and EA.

     

    The theme parks have not been very successful, and the streaming service is definitely not just star wars, so it's not easy to measure.

     

     

    Compared to other acquisitions like Pixar and Marvel, it's just not justifying the 4 billion investment, granted always that it's on decline.
