They do pretty good in Japan, which is why I specified mainland. I guess they’re nothing special in India, Russia, Turkey, so didn’t really need the “East.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan was at its peak when Star Wars was at its peak, leading to the franchise doing well there. India, Korea, China etc. all became much bigger markets in the mid-2000s when there were no Star Wars movies, so there's no nostalgia pull for the franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish&chips Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I didn't follow The Last Jedi run, I hadn't realized it did worse than Rogue one. Looking back on it now, it seems like bad word of mouth kicked in right on its OW, with the friday number decreasing from its thursday OD which wasn't that big to begin with. Second week was already DIW before being steamrolled by Along with the gods on day 7. (what a horrible looking graph!) Most top criticisms online seems to be centered around Rose and her whole plot which seemed a bit useless and forced. "Casting an ethnically east asian actor to fill the diversity quota in a useless role" seems to be the general gist of the reaction to put it kindly. 4 hours ago, grim22 said: The markets which expanded huge post 2000 and have no nostalgic attachment to the Star Wars franchise are the ones where they don't do well.

Yes but from what I gather The last jedi pissed off fans of the nostalgia era too which makes me wonder how that will affect SW9. It seems to have fallen into a weird grey area in-between, pissing off the old fans and not generating many new ones. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the only certainty is that it'll be low. Other than that, I think <burning> which opened last week is a good comparison. Only Solo has had less media coverage/presales so it'll likely be a little lower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
