Week 13: Yes

Yeah I’m not saying it’ll max out with the first movie. But 500M would be really bad. Antman is a bad comparison. It’s not like there are 2 or 3 other SW movies coming out at the same time with more popular characters. They shouldn’t be expecting Antman numbers for main saga movies. Fast & Furious is only a good comparison for the Asian and Latin America market for SW. The new movies could start off slow then explode in those markets. But SW still has strong markets in the US/Canada, Europe, Australia, and Japan. If the new movies only make 500M, then they’ve failed at retaining fans. Especially if it’s received well by both critics and fans, that just means people just aren’t interested in non-Skywalker saga SW(which I doubt is the case). It doesn’t have to make 1B right away, but it should be closer to that than 500M. I think 800M-900M is a decent starting point. Maybe low 900Ms. What they don’t want to see is a huge fall from an already underperforming TRoS. It’s not Skywalker saga, but it’s still a main saga movie. The expectations are still high.

I think a SW movie making 500M would be really bad. Especially since the next ones are supposed to be the new main saga. It’s not some unknown franchise, so if it were received well, people would most likely come out to see it.

Han tells Finn and Rey: “He was training a new generation of Jedi. One boy, an apprentice, turned against him, destroyed it all. Luke felt responsible. He just walked away from everything.”

I think this is going to break 4M. I'll go with 4.15M

I think this is missing 1M. I'll go with 985K.

Hmm The Numbers says 3,612 theaters

Yeah that’s probably right. Hindsight is 20/20

Lol is Universal forcing theaters that want 1917 to play Dolittle?

I wish they kept the Oracle. They also should’ve made it clear Kylo was at Vader’s castle.
