This is why we don’t invite Puerto Rico to family gatherings.

My mom, who waited six hours in line to see RETURN OF THE JEDI and has been highly favorable of the Disney trilogy, did not like THE RISE OF SKYWALKER at all. This is the death knell. Pack it up.
-
Does she set release dates? You need time to figure out a long-term plan. Let’s not forget THE LAST JEDI was supposed to hit 17 months after THE FORCE AWAKENS.
-
You misspelled Iger.
-
I will never not be astounded at people complaining about filmmakers prioritizing their movie over just being a setup for future movies.
-
I agree, if they’d scooped up Rian for IX we’d have a much better film right now and it’d be fun to see how it performed.
-
If RISE OF SKYWALKER grosses $69 million this weekend it’ll be at $358 million domestically. At the end of AVATAR’s second weekend, it had grossed $212 million. Suck on that, pessimists.
-
Look man, I’ve been saying for awhile that RISE OF SKYWALKER’s numbers were pretty good. But yes, with the way the holidays lined up, and with its numbers this week and Christmas, it should have trounced TLJ’s second weekend.
-
Wait, so is TROS BVS or JL in this metaphor? Because they were different levels of disappointments.
-
Well, hell. If we’re gonna disappoint, let’s flippin’ disappoint. All aboard, people, this train doesn’t stop.
-
Maybe there isn’t an applicable model and we’ll all just have to - shock! gasp! horror! - wait until we have some data tomorrow.
-
Call me crazy, but if my model contradicts the data I’m being presented, I don’t try to jam the data into that model.
-
I’m still a little perplexed at using 2013 as such a solid baseline. In 2013, a number of movies increased on Thursday. Based on Jat’s numbers, everything but FROZEN II dropped today.
-
Huh? JJ says $30.5M today. Even if it follows SMAUG’s exact weekend pattern, which you’re using as a baseline - and it won’t, as SMAUG performed wildly different today as everyone expected - TROS still makes $84M.

LOOKS LIKE #1 OF ALL TIME IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS 😛
-
Next Christmas is going to be so boring compared to this year. We've got a gargantuan grosser, a huge crowdpleaser sequel, an animated sequel, a WOM hit legging it out, and an A24 flick setting records for the company, all running at the same time. Plus CATS. Never forget CATS. Universal's shareholders won't.

By my math, SMAUG made 11.7x its $9.3M Christmas number for another $109M. The same ratio off a $35M Christmas Day would give TROS another $409M, for a $636M domestic total, no?
-
Of course JURASSIC WORLD is a bigger worldwide franchise than STAR WARS. What I don’t understand is people treating this like an anomaly. In 2005, STAR WARS was arguably the 4th biggest franchise of that era, behind THE LORD OF THE RINGS, HARRY POTTER, and SPIDER-MAN.
-
CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD made $160 million domestically. RISE OF SKYWALKER looks to make, at minimum, $550 million or so? Expectations are great; perspective is better.
-
I would argue the difference is that people have more feelings about STAR WARS and are entrenched in their various positions, because RISE OF SKYWALKER is doing well too
-
Because WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE was a massive overperformer, and THE NEXT LEVEL’s numbers are great for the kind of movie it is. A movie’s success isn’t just about how it does in comparison to its predecessor. HALLOWEEN KILLS will probably tumble to like $100 million and that would still be great for it.
-
Go easy on everyone at Universal, they've developed a major drinking problem over the last 4 days.
-
This was always the argument for RISE OF SKYWALKER, though. The holidays line up for it so much better than LAST JEDI. It isn't disingenuous.
-
TWO TOWERS opened on Wednesday so that’ll skew things.
