I'd say a finish under $700M DOM is under what most projected here, right?

Yes...after the opening many raised their predictions though...

[JohnnyGossamer]

If it somehow finishes just over/under $650M DOM, I think the Rian Johnson trilogy is toast.

Everyone says it will jump because of 1983 and 2005. Not convinced this will happen. There won’t be a Vader bump like with Sith. 

Yep and no "one last time" marketing campaign either.

It will be in fact the exact opposite, GA at large will know by the release of  Ep9 Star Wars has become a one movie per year affair and the novelty, rush factor etc won't be there anymore.

Star Wars will slowly become "just" another franchise.

Oh and like I said, the blind fanboys will slowly but surely see the light about TLJ and they will realize by 2019 what TLJ really is : a tragedy of writing and story-telling that would be in fact a great example for a crash course in screenwriting classes  as a what to NEVER do in a movie when you write a script.

The Last Jedi is awful writing 101 in all its glory.

This movie will be remembered for sure,  as a cautionary tale.

Lesson learned 

 

Put in some fan service like rogue one like Vader and this would have clear 750 million lol

SW is a franchise with such a huge fanbase, serving fans is scope of director's duty inevitably, he can make some original film if he doesn't want to please fans....

I put the over/under at 734.  19 were under and 27 were over.

Maybe toast for his creative control, but they will still let him do the project.

Read the comment sections under any TLJ YT review. Actually, it would cause significant brain damage to you, but you would see what some fans wanted this movie to do.

 

Im so fucking glad Star Wars Fans dont get to write SW movies.

LOL how can people say LF doesn’t overreact when they have more fired directors than actual directors at this stage.

A bunch of angry people in the Internet

[The Futurist]

How long before the upcoming  Kathy Kennedy Press release about the next Rian Johson trilogy and how it is not "Star Wars-y enough" to her taste ?

3 days ?

3 weeks ?

3 months ?

Place your bets, folks !
