Don't you know that the more popular something is the more people we can feel superior to by saying it was bad???
SHUT THE FUCK UP! IT'S GONNA FLOP! KEK TOLD ME SO! REEEEE
Legit disappointed with this news, but can’t say I’m surprised. This movie wasn’t made for old school Star Wars fans. Congrats to Kennedy for tapping into that new market.
If they're all this bad, they'll go the way of Bayformers.
Isn't this the guy who tried to say "all is well" repeatedly for Batman vs Superman?
>we
Sequels should beat the first film, nowadays. Disney execs are probably not to pleased.
...
Dropping between thursday and friday is not a good look. Movie will still struggle getting a 3x multiplier in fucking December. Imagine if it showed up in Summer.
movies regularly do better during the summer than they do during the winter
That was the norm 10 years ago. December is now the more ideal time to open huge blockbusters. The fact Summer has so many bombs nowadays shows it's far from the ideal release window it use to be.
quadfag confirmed.
Who gives a shit how much money it makes? It's a terrible movie, but the masses will eat it up anyway b/c they don't give a flying fuck about cohesive, sensible narrative structure. They just like watching a bunch of explosions, seeing lightsabers on screen, and hearing cheesy "quips" and "gags" that constitute comic relief. Star Wars may never have been some form of high cinema, but it was at least enjoyable as a satisfying story that made fucking sense and had somewhat like-able characters. That's all I ever really wanted out of the new movies. But of course that's not what we got, since movies are almost entirely committee and profit driven now (although the former point is ironically negated for TLJ since Rian Johnson directed AND wrote for TLJ, but the movie felt like multiple people bukkaked on it). In 10-20 years, Disney will probably own all of the entertainment industry in TV, movies, and internet streaming services and all media will truly become endless, mindless schlock with no charm, heart, or passion.
NOT MUH STARWARS
It’s a wonderful movie. Glad it is seeing the success it deserves.
well said user. truly a sad state of affairs we find ourselves in.
His teeth are unreal

Still not going to make $1.3 billion.
>live link to forbes
You're a bigger faggot than the people spamming dicks.
Why does every thread have this sort of lazy, passive-aggressive bullshit so close to the top? Did all the OPs suddenly turn into colossal pussies all of a sudden?
Episode 9 won't break a billion.
everyone wanted to see a "decent" starwars after the episode shit saga and the last starwars it left nothing but incomplete questions so people expected more from the newest movie.
They did a nice job giving everyone an incomplete movie with a dramatic cliffhanger. a shitty marketing move that worked. ive heard from EVERYONE that it was "ehhh okay i guess" and from bitter internet nerds that care "shit"
I knew it was mendelson as soon as I saw forbes. And it had a lot 3rd week drop because it had biggest 2nd week drop in history, and still couldn't even get 1st best 3rd weekend friday drop.
What is she?
>ehhh okay i guess
Literally this, nearly every single person I've talked to who watched it says this. This movie is very unliked
The only person I know who legitimately enjoys it, gets super defensive about it. Which means he probably realizes how terrible it is and just won't admit it to himself.
Anyone have the Saturday estimates yet?
50ish
I hope you mean domestic because it’s already at 943M total.
this
WITNESSED QUADS OF TRUTH
3-day: $54.5M
The graph literally is called "Domestic Total Gross."
I have one friend who adamantly defends it. called it a "great addition to the saga." you can't make this shit up. the mental gymnastics he plays to defend NuWars is of incomprehensible proportions. He explained in autistic detail how Finn progressed as a character and how the casino subplot was necessary. I could go on. he's a real faggot. lost what little respect I still had for him after that.
So Jumanji probably won't beat it? That's a shame.
I don't care how much money disney make the movie still sucks.
Jumanji is looking at 46 million. So there is a chance, and it would be hila-LITTY
The movie sucks and Star Wars is probably broken beyond repair. With that in mind, I sure would like to see it keep on noticeably underperforming. I'd like to see Disney pay for their poor decision making by earning less money. Also, I would like confirmation that American cinema audiences occasionally have good taste. I mean, we did eventually get tired of Bayformers. We do learn, it just takes a while.
If nuWars continues being garbage, Bayformers is the perfect demonstration. Too bad that shit took 5 movies, all propped up because Chang likes explosions.
So it dropped worse than Rogue One, again. Not much of an achievement considering its terrible 2nd week drop.
Headline is kind of laughably specific to try and paint a positive picture, everybody know Xmas means the drop here is also less sharp
pure clickbait
Jumanji is the movie that can say is winning no matter what.
If it beats a Star Wars movie with Mark Hamill Luke in it just say no more. Daily receipts are close enough to scare.
If it doesn't beat it the studio and actors can just shrug about Star Wars being Star Wars and continue counting the profits that are already flowing in with no fandom controversy for any of them.
I hate the forced negative atgitude surrounding this film
True enough
Forbes is saying The Last Jedi is facing "potent competition."
This is what is playing at my local kinoplex...
Pitch Perfect 3, Downsizing, Ferdinand, Father Figures, Hugh Jackman being a Homosexual, Jumanji, All The Money in the World and Wonder.
THAT'S NOTHING. This movie should be 25 million a day EASILY.
I unironically did this with the Prequels when they came out - I was such a faggot I wanted so bad for them to be good when they just weren't
This user is right. I watched a cam rip and was glad that I voted with my wallet beforehand. I expected some shit due to how the last two Disney Star Wars movies were, but this one felt just off. To quote RLM; "it felt more like a third than a second movie in the series".
To put it in perspective, one of my normie co-workers who buys into the capeshit and all that has saw it twice. He also seen Justice League twice and Thor 3 three times.
Disney paid off mendelson to shill their movie, even he knows that headline is shit
It's the holidays, and jumanji is ripping through TLJs grosses domestically. There's no way TLJ can even hope to make 1.45b now, sadly.
Your normie co-worker should kill himself immediately.
>Thor 3 three times.
do you work with the biggest faggot on earth?
>There's no way TLJ can even hope to make 1.45b now, sadly.
Why not? It's 40% ahead of Rogue One. It took R1 twice as long to reach these numbers.
Didn't TLJ open in more countries simultaneously, though? It's made more than Rogue One to this point but I think it also has less room to grow from here.
Soy wars is over, this isnt even going to come close to Jurassic World or Avengers, maybe not even BntB globally
They doubled down on diversity and identity politics for the sake of making a good movie. Now they have degraded the brand and interest world wide.
Kathleen is a dead woman walking
I only recognize from there Jumanji (which I almost didn't watch at all), the animated movie that isn't Coco, the not Wolverine anymore actor making you wish the new Mary Poppins was already out, and Wonder which is apparently potent enough to damage not only Justice League but Star Wars a full month later.
I miss the times when we could talk about Wonder Woman fighting Jack Sparrow, Tom Cruise, Minions, Spider-Man, Apes, Nolan etc. instead of Star Wars fighting Rock and Jack Black.
In defense of the faggot, he saw the movies I originally cited with different groups of people. I went with him for the second viewing of Thor 3 as a bunch of us did it as an after work thing.
The main issue is he is a visa Toronto Canadian working in the US. Biggest SJW faggot I've ever met in my life so far.
Tbqh fan I'm not sure how we can possibly recover
>2nd-best-3rd-friday-drop-ever-for-100m-opener/
>second best
>3rd friday drop
>for a 100m opener
so many qualifiers its like it means nothing
...
>40% ahead of Rogue one
Nope, try 20%
Max it can make now is $1.3b or $800m less than TFA and $200m more than R1
Lol no its not, its second Saturday didn't even do 30
Star Wars was never good. It was always simplistic, family entertainment and on that front it delivers
It was supposed to do 70this weekend. Jumanji was apparently set for 60
no defense and now you have to defend yourself for going to the kinoplex with him.
There are lots of 100m movies, a non-100m movie's drop would be meaningless because the prices are so negligible.
It is good news. But only a consolation compared to the second weekend drop. Basically it dropped all the way down then evened out.
Probably because only people seeing it third weekend dint care about star wars enough to boycott it
There are only three movies to ever open at Christmas over $100m (all NuWars)
What a non story
I wanted to see Thor 3 opening weekend but wasn't able to due to a family situation that occurred. Hadn't had the chance to see it until its third week out in theaters. Was talking with a few colleagues and the topic of movies came up. Mentioned that I wanted to see Thor 3 and he butted into the conversation. Said we should all go after work. Which we did and there was only us six people in the theater that Tuesday night.
/defended
>friday drop
Actually dropping on a friday at all is very unusual. And if he means week to week (fri to fri) he had to consider the movie dropped a record breaking 77% in the last friday to friday comparison.
tldr shill damage control
any fine ladies go with you to the kinoplex with you user or was it a hemsworth circle jerk?
excuse my retardation user but you understand what i'm trying to say
>friday drop
>for +100M movies
>3rd best
So after looking for all the qualifiers in the world it's still the third best?
*breathes in*
you've been vindicated user. PT unironically looks like kino now. and not just from tlj being garbage, but the entirety of western cinemas having been reduced to glorified slop troughs in the past 10 years.
4 guys and 2 women
I acknowledge. If it was just him and I. I would have said no. But there were more than us. We brought alcohol in and just laughed at the movie.
did anyone end up getting some ragna-crotch (pussy) after the viewing?
>tfw bought tickets for jumanji just so I could do my part to edge it above star wars.
>PT unironically looks like kino now.
No it's not, it's just as terrible as ever. You're just some contrarian fuck that will be saying the same shit for TLJ in a few years.
> Delivers simple fun family entertainment
> Not good
What do you fags thing Star Wars was meant to be?
Lucas achieved exactly what he wanted to and everybody loved it. But you say it's not good.
t. Reddit
The prequels actually are better than nu-wars at this point and are a decent representation of Star Wars proper in comparison. It hurt to type that.
t. triggered :^)
>better than nu-wars
That's arguable.
>and are a decent representation of Star Wars
Fuck no nigger, being better than some new piece of shit does not make them anything less than the train wrecks they always were.
you're fighting the good fight user. I'm proud of you.
Batman v Superman pulled these same numbers. Where all the articles praising how well BVS is preforming?
>That's arguable.
it's not
It certainly is when the prequels are as much of a mess as they are. They're both god awful for different reasons.
>the second week friday to friday drop is the third best among the movies opening at more than 100 million domestic
WOAH RECORD BREAKING HERE!
Did he mention that this movie had the biggest second weekend drop EVER?
This doesn't actually say anything short of it dropped slightly less this week than last week and that it hit 1 billion, but then again we live in an age where a movie that hits 1 billion isn't really a huge deal. 1 billion was a milestone in 2007. In 2017 there are dozens of billion dollar films and half of them are garbage. Example: Iron Man 3, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Transformers: Age of Extinction, half the movies in the Fast and The Furious franchise, and I could go on and on.
Because it's the easiest way to get replies, as per this shit thread.
The fact that he's willing to prop up Disney-shit just so he can sandbag PT is evidence enough to ignore his cries for (You)s. Leave him to it.
Yeah exactly. It dropped less this week because most people gave up on it last week hahaha.
oh please user. there's no sheev in nuwars
Togruta
There's less atrocious dialogue and better pacing in nuwars. They're both fucking terrible, whichever one you like more comes down to personal preference, but no one can claim either is actually redeemable.
>better pacing
did you see TLJ?
>better pacing
You almost had me there for a moment.
Yeah, even TLJ has better pacing than phantom menace or clones, only because both of those movies are completely fucked when it comes to that. I never said it was good pacing, just better than the prequels, try to pay attention.
And into the garbage your bait goes.
>no argument
every time. Back to where you came from mouse shill
>better pacing in nuwars.
Uh, I thought the pacing was terrible, it was slow yet cut to shit and kept jumping back and forth between semi-interesting to pointless storylines
Some scenes lasted less than 10 seconds
It was jarring as fuck
