That audience score on RT is on par with with TFA.

Verified vs unverified is difficult to compare directly. Same % from verified era is almost certainly worse.

I just got of the TROS, I thoroughly enjoyed it!!! 8.5/10, I thought ended poignantly. WOM seemed good at my screening as well as my group of 6 people. It definitely wasn't as divisive as TLJ.

Verified makes a huge difference especially for fan heavy films. For example FFH has an insane 95% with 4.63 average rating.

So is this gonna be like TFA where people love it at first because it's safe and full of fan service, but once the dust settles and people think about it more, opinions on it get worse over time?

Regardless, what anyone says SW7 had great WOM with GA. You don't get 3.78 multi without that.

Well, it’s Disney, so naturally just gonna be some safe “Teen and up audiences.”    
 

I think following has been mentioned in articles and press tours and is not actually a spoiler, but being cautious:

We all know where that gay kiss was leading though

This film wasn't reviewed as lowkey horny for nothing!

I mean, the large majority of movies don't come close to those numbers.

Star Wars movies should be compared with Star Wars movies.

Okay, how's this for comparison - TFA has sold more Blu-rays than the Complete Saga has, by almost double.  It's actually almost sold as much as both the Complete Sage and Original Trilogy combined.  

 

TFA on blu-ray is a rare beast.

Pace in morning is good. May be get to see $50-52mn, but that has been deceptive quite few time earlier in summer so I will stick to 48-49mn. Let's see what numbers I wake to.

Seems like  $50mn Approx

[narniadis]

It would seem then that the Friday estimate will be 90m on or around the nose... solid after the panic but cant say Im not at least somewhat sad it is missing the 100m / 200m marks

[Snark88]

I actually think it's a good thing if it does less than TLJ. Because if it were to surpass TLJ, I'd be concerned the lesson Disney/LF would learn from that.

 

"Aha, so we need to do less risk taking, and focus more on the familiar and nostalgic. We have to keep playing it safe."

That's all people do is panic in these threads.

 

The opening is fine, nobody is going to claim that 190mil opening weekend is in anyway BAD. Fact is though, the opening would be much better if The Last Jedi had done its job. We would be talking about a 250-275mil opening weekend then.

Critics and movie buffs like even folks here hate fan service . Casual movie buffs who are 95% of the audience love fan service

Does anyone else notice foreign trailers on the trending page on YouTube always update their thumbnails to include their claimed view count? 😂

 

Who cares

the fanbase of actors. there are fan fights on such stuff in India, especially South India.

I think fan service is fine if it's done right and in service to the story.
