>The Last Jedi earned an impressive $220 million in its first weekend, but dropped to $68 million in week two - a total drop of $152 million. It's worth noting, plenty of films have experienced drops of $100 million or more between the first and second weekends. Even Star Wars: The Force Awakens dropped off by $149 million following its record-breaking opening weekend in 2019. Still, Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi is the first film to drop off by more than $150 million.
>There are multiple contributing factors to such a record-breaking week-to-week drop, including the fact that Christmas Eve - a typically sluggish time for the box office - falls on a Sunday. Of course, it would be remiss to ignore the number of fans disgruntled by the direction of Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi. Despite a 92% Rotten Tomatoes score, The Last Jedi sits at just 52% audience approval, which means fans probably aren't sitting through the movie multiple times as they did with The Force Awakens.
I hope Disney is freaking out right now. I hope they are feeling true fear in knowing they've cooked the golden goose
Evan Baker
It's going to be a financial success in the end regardless.

Hmm maybe audiences are looking for escapism, not nihilism and heavy handed class warfare propaganda
No that can't be it. Let's double down and greenlight three more Rian Johnsonverse SJW WARS films

It will not be a flop, the opening weekend assured that, but a more important thing will have happened.
They knew they could fuck up star wars. They knew they could make a movie that people turned away from. They locked in theaters to brutal contracts that are going to hurt their businesses, and the theater chains will remember this. They won't lose money on this, oh no.
But when it ends up 500 million to 1 Billion less in their pockets than they thought they'd have, they'll know who to blame.
Merry Christmas Kathleen.

don't forget that investors have all lined up and shoved loads of money to the movie AND SW Battlefront thinking they will astoundingly multiply their investment. all the investors saw was "gee, the public dowsn't like Star Wars as much as the news and critics hyped it" and that means those same investors will move on. then maybe the franchise can die in peace

People won't give a shit about Luke not being played by Hamill.
The last jedi not only ruins all future STAR WARS movies, it also retroactively ruins the past films and makes them all look like idiots.
>A New Hope - "Sir we've worked out the final plan for the assault on the death star and it will be risky and cost many lives but it migh-" "Just Hyperspace-Ram it"
>Empire - "Sir the troops are ready for the ground assault on Hoth, walkers are ready to deploy" "Just Hyperspace-Ram the shield generator from orbit then Hyperspace-ram the rebel base. Boom. All the rebels will be dead before they can evacuate, war is over, and we never had to do a ground assault"
>Jedi - "Sir they built a new death star and it's even bigg-" "Just Hyperspace-Ram it" "But sir it's surrounded by a shield from the Endor moo-" "Just hyperspace ram the endor Moon until you take out the shield generator, Ewoks are collateral damage, then hyperspace ram the new death star"
>Phantom Menace - "Annakin you have to take out that droid controller" "Just hyperspace ram it"
>Rogue One - "We have to take down that shield generator!" "Just hyperspace ra- actually you know what were going to just hyperspace ram the death star anyway so we don't even need these stupid plans. Lets get out of here everybody."
>TFA - My god they built an even BIGGER death sta-" "Just hyperspace ram it"
From now on, in every star wars movie ever made, every single time there is a massive fleet, large base or battlestation everyone watching will be thinking. "Why don't they just hyperspace-ram it". Johnson did this to the entire star wars cinematic universe, forever, for the sake of a ten second shot that "looked cool".
Jackson Turner
Oh no, it will only make a billion dollarydoos, a 400% profit. How will Disney ever recover?
Joshua Brown

Yes, but its tracking for $300 million less than TFA, it's currently being outperformed by TPM even before adjusting for inflation.

This. Maybe because I've always like Star Wars, the burnout feels real and hits me hard. Capeshit I can watch and forget, I don't care about discussing it much other than Cate being a Mommy.
Carson Torres
The only people I know who didn't like this movie are huge star wars nerds who like everything star wars. Not last Jedi though, that's the line. A good sign for the movie in my opinion.
Aaron Cruz
Putin confirmed Star Trek fan. Probably likes Cardassians as well.
Owen Clark
Not an argument.
Camden Lewis
So many fucking questions.
How did the X-wings get annihilated that fast against a small group of tie-fighters? Where are the Y-wings? Why was Poe wrong for taking advantage of the situation? Why didn't the pink haired bitch just tell them what her plan was? She could've skipped 1.5 hours and saved most of them. How do you not die in space after being slightly unconscious? Why is Kylo the only like-able person in this movie? Why is there talks of sacrificing yourself for others and yet reprimandations by those same people who chose to sacrifice themselves?
Austin Ross
Of course they don't but they think that audiences do and thus they hire SJWs to handle their projects

t b h TLJ made SW a bit too close to MCU and Disney better be praying right now that this won't infect their capeshit, especially now that they've made so many movies and fans may only still be following by inertia.
Juan Ramirez
Not exactly people with a vision or men or women of excellence.
We get what we see. That's all.
Just do what some others do, declare Star Wars done with Return of the Jedi.
Carter Rodriguez
It could still make over a billion worldwide regardless, but that's due to inflated ticket prices. The movie industry as a whole is failing, especially in the domestic market.
Bentley Campbell
Might wanna update that, user.

>They hand Kevin Fiege a bunch of capeshit >He somehow turns it into the largest and most successful shared universe of all time, growing it from an average 500 million success to a bunch of movies over a billion, and keeps cranking out hit after hit

The fans aren't sitting through the movie multiple times because they are Racist, Misogynist, Transphobic,Homophobic, Nazis.

Imagine being a reactionary/right-winger under late stage capitalism. You're alienated, your boss is stealing the value of your labor, climate change is going to kill your children, President Trump hasn't done jack shit to improve your life materially, but at least on Christmas Eve you can spend some time writing Rotten Tomatoe reviews and talking about how everyone hates the SJW/liberal propoganda that is Star Wars.

James Morgan
I agree completely. The kikes had to kill the message of the OT because muh moral relativism, and the most effective way to do it was a complete 180 on Luke's character. They didn't care if this film lost money, the cognitive dissonance created by the anti-life message of TLJ was the important part. Johnson is just a patsy.
Leo Miller
It's true. Luke as the vision of a powerful, moral, intelligent, clean, good idealization of what Western men aspire to be is just too good for the goyim. It has to be torn down.
That's what 90% of everything happening on TV and Hollywood has to do with. I think that the SJW mentality (created by Jews mostly) despises the powerful, healthy Western male because it intimidates them. They have to see it as morally evil or always see some hidden impurity or disgrace behind it in order to tear it down.
Strength of the Western sort that Luke embodied had to be retrospectively destroyed because it is simply too good.
Asher King
>The Jews were behind it!
Kill yourself.
Anthony Perry
I don't understand why they hand over the keys to the Star Wars universe to a bunch of random numales and minorities and women who probably all grew up in San Francisco raised by duel lesbian mothers. Why don't they let Timothy Zahn or some other actual writers who know how to actually plot out a series take over and make the plot and characters at least somewhat decent?

she was the executive producer to II and III. hell, she's even responsible for A:TLA movie and driving Shyamalamadingdong insane.
Ian Clark
>The Jews were not behind it! Kill yourself.
Eli Smith
Oh jeez
Ayden Watson
Because they wanted to destroy SW more than they needed it as a cash cow, and they went for the killing blow by going right for the moral heart of the series. They killed it with the cruelest stroke and are in the process of blaming fans for TLJs failure. My theory is they wanted to make this one controversial but a must-see, then win us all back with Super Force Ghost Luke in IX. But they underestimated what fans would put up with and how significant Luke was to generations of fans.

No, this is not how financial success is measured. This movie is going to poison the well for future installments anf with Solo around the corner and having needed massive reshoots, if that one is a dud too it could be disasterous for the franchise as a whole. Only a fool would think this is good as long as they make money off this endevour. This ticket was purchased thinking the movie could be good. Next time they will be less inclined to purchase a ticket. This is where the real damage is done. This is why heads will roll.
