Updated Saturday 11:41 PM: Disney’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi had a fantastic Saturday drawing an estimated $63.2M per industry figures tonight, which ranks as the fourth best ever after Jurassic World ($69.6M), The Avengers ($69.55M), and Star Wars: Force Awakens ($68.3M). Technically speaking, Last Jedi‘s business isn’t frontloaded: If you back out the $45M out of Friday’s $104.8M, Saturday’s ticket sales are actually up over Friday ($59.8M) by 6%. This puts the Rian Johnson-directed sequel with an opening of $218.8M, still the second best ever behind Force Awakens’ $247.966M. ComScore and industry projections are figuring that overall ticket sales come in at around $285M, easily the best weekend of this year, and the third best three-day at the domestic box office ever after  Dec. 18-20, 2015 with $313M (when Force Awakens opened) and the following Christmas weekend that year which grossed $296.4M.

Rian Johnson's trilogy to get cancelled within an hour.

Fun Fact

 

The Star Wars Expanded Universe never existed. 

 

From a certain point of view. 

 

From my point of view, dropping a moon on Chewy's head was evil!

Funny to think that many Star Wars fans will actually welcome the return of J..J. Abrams to the franchise for Episode IX.

Yes. That 8 minute Disney short was the building block of my entire character. I do not know what I am anymore.

And demand that porgs defeat the First Order then celebrate with fireworks at the end.

That was the easy one.  After my re-watch it is clearly the best to me.

TFA 2nd is the tough one.  But I saw it again in the double-feature and have decided it is still the most re-watchable SW film.

If RO had a 1st & 2nd act to match the 3rd act it could easily be 1st or 2nd.

[Brainbug]

Holy shit, i laughed my ass of reading the last 25 pages.

 

This forum is gold.

[RobinHood26]

I truly believe that Empire Strike Back is the best blockbuster ever made.

I will declare the film a flop if it does not match TFA's Saturday gross.

 

I'll wait for actuals but those Deadline numbers are very concerning for TLJ. Ol' Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy may be due for some real soul searching once this weekend is through.
