How is this an evidence? If a person deosn't chose a late night screening, it doesn't mean, he's not coming at all. He's going to another screening instead. 

He refuses to admit that WOM on TLJ is not great.

Good Time for Hamill  To Announce How Much He Loves The Last Jedi Again

[Cmasterclay]

The internet is so mad they let an Asian lady do some winning in the Star Wars that they're gonna pretend the third biggest domestic movie ever that followed the EXACT same drop as AOTC and Empire is a major disappointment. A great and fitting way to end 2017.

When I saw All the Money the other day some dude walked into the theatre for the last 20 minutes of the movie

 

when i saw the revenant a couple dudes sat in front of me as soon as the final hardy/leo fight started. when the credits started to roll one dude was all "huh, i think they let us in a little too early" like really the credits were what clued you in?

I had nothing to do.  Plus I wanted to get a Valerian trailer on the big screen again so I took my chances (ended up not being disappointed)

but Homecoming is a bad movie

It's a good movie but it's not the crowdpleaser that audiences keep coming back for, as evidenced by the numbers after its first weekend and the fact that Jumanji is about to overtake it.

TLJ is certainly more of a critic-pleaser than audience pleaser. Weird enough.

 

We live in a world where there can be movies that critics love but the audience hate...and movies that the audience love but critics hate. 🤔

Star Wars:
The Last Jedi
 

Domestic Total Est. Tickets: 54,172,700

 

 

Thats with only this Fridays numer included from thsi weekend. I know, i know, BOM tickets sold mechanic is more than just flawed, but it gives a genereally good idea.

 

A lot of people are seeing TLJ.

Yeah, it’s hard to have great legs when so many people have already seen the movie (and the fan base isn’t giving it as many repeat viewings as TFA).

I dont get the Rose hate, i really dont. I thought she was fine, not as great as Rey, Luke or Kylo, but good.

Yeah I mean I'm kinda sitting here thinking this was the expected drop but whatever. people make their own narratives

And that‘s totally fine, I‘m sure time will change many peoples opinion of the movie, and if that doesn‘t happen, that’s okay as well.

Doesn't change the fact it's drops have been bad and keep going down instead of up 

What are normal drops for a 220m OW grossing sequel in December (factoring out TFA as an outlier, because it is one)?

[MinaTakla]

AMAZING for Jumaji. It dethroned TLJ.

I think you speak too soon on that #3 spot. Very strong chance it will not reach JW’s 652, never mind Titanic’s 659.

For now. Disney is expecting TLJ to stay flat on NYD, so the films could easily still switch places. Will be fun to see which one it is in the end though.

[Dale Cooper]

Looks like Jedi will struggle to pass $650m now, it's not really any doubt at this point that it has mixed word of mouth. Long runtime and competition are poor reasons as to why it holds up so badly, other movies has been longer and had more competition and still held far, far better. Still, it will have an amazing gross.

 

Jumanji doing great, surely has to be the box-office story of the year at this point.
