JUST

50 years from now, you'll still be a virgin, and The Last Jedi will still be listed in all the books as the #1 Domestic movie of 2017. Carry on, soldier. Death to the mouse!

wtf i love peking duck now

>already soared past a billion
Sorry sweetie looks like you lost again.

not to forget the beginning of the end of the franchise, the movie that ruined the myth of star wars

It'll die somewhere between $1.2-$1.3 billion. It's dropping too fast and there's no China to save it. A strong indication of poor WOM.

...

>#1 domestic movie of 2017
>Not even the highest-grossing worldwide film of 2017
>Not setting a single record besides "biggest box office drop of all time" outside its year of release

Embarrassing. At least TFA managed to hit #3 in the all-time international box office list.

I heard people say the exact same thing back in 1999.

A bald assertion isn't an argument. I've already refuted your representation based arguments. Give me something else.

EX-FILE 3 IS OUT?

>The wide release of Disneyshills

>Ex-File 3: Return of the Exes

Only the Chinks could come up with a title like that.

...

>When you're so utterly devoid of a retort you have to resort to this non-seqiture copypasta garbage

The absolute city-state of Disney...

STAR WARS IS FAILI-

>a Star Wars movie is going to make less than Age of Ultron (adjusted)
>it's going to make less than TKD (adjusted)
Oh my god

The main difference is the prequels still sold toys and kids loved them. Since the prequels were designed for kids. Parents hate Rogue One and TLJ, they don't want to take their kids and the toys aren't selling. Part of the reason is the new movies are "darker," or at least a lot more cynical. Also none of the new characters are interesting to kids except Kylo Ren.

IT'S THE CHINESE FAULTS!

Didn't SW always do poorly in China?
They keep trying to break in that market with this franchise, and it's just not happening. They tried especially hard with Rogue One, and I'm pretty sure that failed as well.

Star Wars in China just isn't happening. They need to stop trying to pander to that market.

-NG

Heads will roll for this.

Not him, but a bald assertion isn't an argument. They already refuted your representation based arguments. Give people something else.

This pasta is always posted at people making fun of TLJ, but why?

Have they started blaming Rian Johnson yet?

>only one billion
>angered fans
>solo movie will fail
>no one hyped for 3rd one
J U S T

Marvel didn't do well in China initially but has grown to be a strong brand. Star Wars started ok but has fallen hard. They couldn't grow or even hold steady.

>TFA: $2.1 billion
>TLJ: $1.2 billion
>Disney's "conservative" projection for TLJ box office: $1.9 billion

The film is set to underperform projections to the tune of $700 million. Do you honestly expect Disney's management and shareholders to be happy that figure has been effectively left on the table?

user, it's posted fucking everywhere.
pretty sure I saw one in a steamed hams thread.
beating a dead horse is Sup Forums's speciality

>seriously replying to that
user...

Reminder that Jumanji is currently estimated to beat TLJ by somewhere between $7- $8 million dollars at the domestic box office this weekend. Also this is the last week TLJ will be artificially propped up by the 4 week obligation Disney forced theaters into. The drop is going to be real when that deal expires.

>No one is going to be mad about this. If they are, they're sexist.

The problem is that there is so much money in China that a company like Disney can't stop trying to crack it. A movie has a potential to do a billion alone in there. (Not that any has done yet, but 800 million has been grossed there)

This. Hail Trump and the Alt-Right. Down with the Mouse!

Its box office is already starting to flatline. $7 million on Tuesday and now $5 million confirmed for Wednesday. China opening might as well not have happened if the advance numbers are to be believed.

If you do a movie in 2015 and it does over 2 billion and the sequel in 2017 might not even hit 1.3 billion, it doesn't really matter that Kathleen Kennedy has ovaries. Look at how they exiled Joss Whedon when Avengers Age of Ultron did 100 million less than Avengers. After Solo underperforms or flat out bombs, Kennedy is gone. They'll strip her of all responsibility and maybe keep her around so Episode 9 doesn't get damaged, but she's finished.

Yeah, true, and I understand the desire.
I just don't see how in the world they can get China to possibly care at all.

Do you think it still has a shot to beat Beauty and the Beast's $1.264 billion or is that out of the window at this point?

1 billion already in the bank. Will finish around 1.5-1.6 billion.

F A I L U R E !

What other markets are left for TLJ to open? Don't tell me China was the last? Otherwise, 1.5b is out of the cards. That is just sad. Every movie that has opened to over 200million opening weekend managed that.

*inhales*

I am thinking of calling them Das Maus.

I don't really see the point in dashing yourself against the rocks like some of these film companies do when you factor in the low returns after the distributors, government, etc have taken their cut in China. I've heard numbers anywhere from 25% to as low as 15% for what the studios actually see returned to them.

A-at least it passed Rogue One.

>JediFlop, JediFlop
>JUST look at that weekend drop
>losing money? holy cow
>not even China can save it now
>LOOK OUT...here comes the JediFlop

Fucking kek

underrated

A bald assertion isn't an argument. I've already refuted your representation based arguments. Give me something else.

It needs to take $160 million before exiting theatres to overtake BatB. Honestly, I wouldn't like to bet money on that either way, it's probably going to be close. Whatever its weekend numbers in China are confirmed for next week will tell you if it's going to happen or not.

WHAT!?! THIS CAN"T BE HAPPENING!! Sup Forums told me the movie would flop because women and minorities were in more prominent roles than white men. This movie is literally white genocide bros? How can the roasties and (((them))) be winning right now?

>reading

kek

ARE YOU READY FOR CHINA?!

British cucks pretty much saved TLJ's overseas box office, with a little bit of help from fellow eunuchs Germany, France and Japan

>The absolute state of (you)

>22 people per screening

lol

>they’re cucks for going to see a film with massive hype and overkill marketing
Dumb yuropoors am I right?

>United Kingdom: $93,253,389
>more than twice as much as the second biggest overseas market (Germany: $42,551,679)

I'm so ashamed of my country right now

xD

They're the only markets in which stuffing the film with hamfisted left-wing identity politics is a bonus to its box office

Impressive, very nice

For watching a movie, even if bad?
I'd be more ashamed of your government trying to ban free speech and porn.

>it doesn't really matter that Kathleen Kennedy has ovaries
It actually matters, be sure that she will give them a bad PR when she takes the boot. Also, I believe Disney execs are fags full of soy, they don't have the balls to fire her. They should have done it right after Rogue One production went overboard.

you mad, disney bot

Or maybe it’s because the only blockbuster films that are currently being made are stuffed with hamfisted left wing identity politics

For having no taste

P.S. Banning porn is the best idea the Tories have ever had

See what I mean? Amy Pascal isn't blaming her ouster on her shitty Ghostbusters remake. She's blaming it on "MUH SYSTEMIC SEXISM!"

What makes you think that Kathleen Kennedy will be any different?

Amy "Give that chimp Obama a banana" Pascal was pure insanity, she was a good source of laughs, it's just a shame none of those laughs were in her movies.

Did you forget that Blade Runner 2049 and Dunkirk came out last year?

not to mention franchise to be payed off

>Banning porn is the best idea the Tories have ever had
genuinely curious, why do you think this?

reminder that being with Disney is LITERALLY being with the inevitable socialist utopia and the fair redistribution of global resources.
being against disney is hitler and ugly non cool things, deal with it.

LOL this is a classic American story of anti-authoritarianism...why would Chinese totalitarians want to watch it? Besides this is a film directed at Bollywood audiences more than anything else outside of America...get used to international Star Wars, the next film will have Indian stars and an Indian cinematographer and musical numbers where the audience is meant to sing and dance in participation, just like in classic Bollywood films like Ohm Shanti Ohm

CHINA NUMBER ONE!!!!

>believing anonymous Sup Forums posts
you're dumber than your parents' think

Compared to all the other shit they did, it was the least bad.

BASED SUBHUMAN DRONES

>Finn & Rose aren't even in the poster
>Chewie and a Porg is
Way to show your support for diversity, Disney.

>implying banning porn is a bad thing

Well in all fairness Finn, Poe, and Rose do not have any significant role in the story as of the end of the second film, they're just aborted characters trapped in a perpetual limbo of defection, autism, and hotheadedness

>both of these films had shit marketing and hardly anyone in the world, let alone the UK, went to see them

>damage status: in urgent need of control

THE FORCE ABORTED - What Happened to Cinema?
youtube.com/watch?v=2P63pM1F8h8&t=2075s

The Force Aborted: A 75-minute documentary about the debasement of cinema as an art form, centered around Disney's recent acquisition of Lucasfilm. What was once essentially an independent film-studio operating outside of Hollywood, far away from corporate influence and the relentless demands of its shareholders. Lucasfilm had access to the creative freedoms of thought and expression so desired by filmmakers, thanks largely to one of cinema's greatest innovators: George Lucas.

Porn is demotivating and demoralising to its consumers and exploitative to its performers. The producers should be locked up as pimps

Is there another source?
I dont think this info is 100÷ checked

Porn is degenerate

Only a billion to go!

>Porn is demotivating and demoralising to its consumers
t. dicklet

>Defending widespread addiction to pornography and the depraved industry that permits its production
I watch porn but I'm not proud of it, you nigger

Dunkirk was a big deal in the UK, it finished third with $77m, after The Last Jedi with $93m and Beauty and the Beast with $91m. Should have been #1 though

You soyund assblasted

Sure, but he said it was a good thing, and I'm actually curious why. I think it's just a case of culture clash. The idea of government banning film, speech, or art is abhorrent to most Americans, and it's weird seeing other cultures (especially the one we're mostly an off-shoot of) be so glad when it happens.
Not saying incorrect or anything, it's just one of those weird "this feels so foreign" kind of things.

I can´t see the based chinese characters on this poster...

>The idea of government banning film, speech, or art is abhorrent to most Americans,
You know what else is abhorrent to most Americans? The idea of their son or daughter having close-ups of their gaping asshole published online

The bottom of the poster has been cut off when OP took the screenshot, brainlet

Almost all China has the best air in the world. Only large cities have medium quality air

Sure, but federal government intervention is too much of a "nanny state" sort of move.
Full disclosure, I'm American, so this is likely just a cultural disconnect here. Different values and all that jazz.

The Last Jedi is garbage. 50 years from now it will still be seen as the movie that ruined Star Wars.

49% on Rotten Tomatoes. Pathetic

>Sure, but federal government intervention is too much of a "nanny state" sort of move.
Who fucking cares? Porn producers should be buried in an unmarked mass grave.
>Full disclosure, I'm American,
Why do you assume that everyone who disagrees with you about porn isn't American?
