 We're taking about the best reviewed big blockbuster since The Return of The King (metacritic), that is really saying something

And one of the worst on the audience metrics on metacritic and rotten tomatoes. On imdb I think it will stabilize to around 7.3 which is the same as ant-man.

I think the divide comes from this movie hitting all the right ideological checkboxes specifically for the critics to understand and applaud at,so they chose to ignore the glaring flaws of this movie.  And the fact that they're a huge hugbox. 

For example, Laura Dern was some kind of critique on "toxic masculinity". But this went over the head of everyone I knew they all hated her for not communicating properly. So the critics took a whiff and applauded, general audiences confused and angry. Many such moments in the movie.

TLJ didn't take any risks. It was your typical SW movie and reversed remake of ESB, just with the worse script than usually. Abrams is much better writer than Johnson.

I would say it took risks  by just brushing off everything TFA set up, and completely messing up a fan favorite. So it pissed off TFA fans and OT fans.

The plot felt like a mash of OT plotlines, and it was things we've seen before but with different characters, not terribly original.

It took the wrong kind of risks IMO and Star Wars is still stuck where it has always been, except everyone is mad.

Honestly at this point the worldwilde crown is not a done deal.

TLJ is obv the frontrunner but Beauty may still give this a shot.

 

It's on its way to make less than Rogue one in China. I don't know how accurate these estimate worldwide numbers are or how big the drops will be.

Is it logical that TLJ has 120% increase while Jumanji has 73%?Jumanji had a lot better sunday drop. Maybe one of these is estimated wrong?
