Yeah, I can understand your position, @Valonqar, you have been consistent in your treatment of the movie, for what I have observed, and I respect that, even agree with some of your critiques (is this the right word? Not a native English speaker), even thought I certainly enjoyed the movie more than you, because the highs were really high for me. I just feel that certain people would have said different things about the quality of the movie if the number was 35 instead of 27, even thought that has no bearing on the quality at all.

Your English is great and I understand your point. I liked the movie but problems cannot be dismissed and since critics decided to do just that (act like problems were negligible) some of us won't leave it alone.  In fact, perhaps when one likes the movie but feels it could have been better, they tend to be harsher because of "what could have been". Anyway, I think that 35M would have cut the mixed WOM with GA talk short but criticism of the problem would remain.

You know I was pretty against anti-derailment policies and people complaining about too much discussion in any way but for the love of god I take it all back PLEASE update the Just the Numbers thread. This Last Jedi shit is running in endless circles and making it impossible to talk about anything else. How many times can people say "WOM on TLJ isn't very good, critics don't understand what fans want etc." There's a new live action movie breaking out to maybe 300m! There's big releases flopping and major Oscar expansions!

Seriously. It's hard to even discuss The Last Jedi's numbers because it's been amounting to nothing more than petty arguing.

Lol its star wars movie with divisive word of mouth on here.

 

I think the endless circle disussion has just begun.

 

It trumps everything out right now by default.

I think its because some people were spending so much time lecturing us last week when we were questioning the TLJ numbers and word of mouth. Now I think some are dishing it back a bit and I honestly don't blame them. Shows that nobody really knows box office any more than the other here and that the lecturing needs to stop.

Jumanji will be bigger than F8te for Rock’s biggest movie this year domestically, @RichWS

Yea man whatever Last Jedi rocked and I think it's sad people can't see that for whatever reason now can we please talk about Jumanji it's doing super good guys

Jumanji is doing gangbusters. Fucking amazing.

Sad about 2.5M for All the Money though.

[YM!]

Since I’m pretty sure Jumanji will take down NATM, will Sing be next ($270M domestic) and can it takes Sing’s record for highest grossing movie never to reach #1?

In a gender-flipped version of the Kristen Stewart role (ala frozen in ice for most of the movie).

Probably not gonna happen. Now if Jumanji starts beating TLJ dailies at some point, we will see people discussing Jumanji a lot.
