Do you realize how much the last one made :confused:

It's going to be Fast & The Furious with dinosaurs

I blame that shit on Nostalgia. We will see what this new one does. I saw the trailer....that nostalgia has worn the fuck off. This shit looks trash. And it probably is because there's no where they can go with this dumb ass story.

People just want to be entertained for two hours. Some of you look too deep at shit. They want to get out the house and see shit blow up and CGI and special effects.

And you got that out of the last one? I don't care about deep movies. I like Fast and the Furious. I like Guardians of the Galaxy. Jurassic World wasn't shit and that new trailer offers nothing.

Keyword, entertained.

The Last Jedi was not an entertaining film.

Force Awakens did - 39%
Last Jedi had by far the largest open for the year
Movies that opened large this year like 2nd place Beauty and the Beast and 3rd place Guardians 2 - had 2nd week drop off numbers in the 40s and 50s
Disney might compare it to the Force Awakens performance -

Yeah the the force awakens opened on christmas and it didn’t have this type of competition in the second week.

I think we all knew that this movie wasn’t going to beat Force Awakens. No second movie in the Trilogies of the franchise.. has out performed the first one

Numbers in red are the second week drop off....

For a film that supposedly has had the best reviews from critics (for Star Wars films), that's pretty damned significant.

But it’s still going to end up with Well over a Billion...

It’s pacing better over seas then Rogue One was at this point... and Rogue One and Force Awakens had a simultaneous world Wild opening. The Last Jedi still has markets it hasn’t released in yet.

I feel like you have never heard of the matrix.

Don’t disrespect neo again.

Transformers 4 broke a billion.

I'm not arguing money, only quality.

Once audiences were hip to the quality of The Last Jedi, that crushed it's week two earnings

Yes, it will make bank when it opens in China and elsewhere, doesn't change the fact that the film had a bad second week drop due to the quality associated with it.

Agree... I still think the competiton and the Christmas holiday had some effect on it but yeah it’s a big drop off.

It’s still going to do fine... this is not a Batman v Superman situation where you had a movie that didn’t have legs to carry it.

Even though everyone’s opinion on this is split... I want Star Wars to continue to do out the mode stories like this and Rogue One.

Foreign markets view films differently. When I watch a movie I am both an American and person who didn’t watch tv until he got to America. It’s why every couple years I actually go and see a Transformers movie. I know the movie itself is garbage, but the spectacle of it still amazes me.

I saw Jumanji. It wasn't that bad. $50 million so far on an $84 million budget and it's just the first week.

Downsizing looked stupid
Lol @ the greatest showman

I got moviepass so I saw jumanji, but when I got there I found out that Moviepass doesn't do 3D movies so I actually paid $13 for it, and after seeing it I wasn't mad about the money, so that's saying something

If you got movie pass you should've bought a regular ticket with it then traded it in for the 3d.

Is this the thread to talk about Coco underperforming?
Click to expand...

Had to look this up but COCO is on its way to becoming the second highest grossing animated film in China besides Despicable Me. Right now COCO has grossed 486 million world wide. That’s actually not that bad when you consider that Disney didn’t really advertise this film.

I’m still sticking with 1.5 billion. China is the ex factor here. I need to see what opening in China when this opens.
 
It is a piece of shit, the most meandering, meaningless and pointless of the franchise;
Everyone has realised this, and that shit is heading down the toilet where it belongs;
The same decline will occur overseas, and teach Disney and Rian Johnson a lesson..

I told you
 
It is still far more than the 40% some fellow here set as the
benchmark of success... So I am right; it is still a piece of
shit
 
Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic: $423,361,767 50.2%
+ Foreign: $420,200,000 49.8%

= Worldwide: $843,561,767 :eek:


dunno bro ...been out 12 days & its at 840 million...

shit might hit a billion by the end of the weekend...actually fuck a might it will ...

thats crazy ....we underestimated the fan boys on this one...it made another 27 million on tuesday ...

let me say that again ...a week later it made 27 million on a tuesday ...lol



:money:
 
Okay finally saw it...
Slow ass bomb that float down in open space?? And for all the PROTECT THE BOMBERS...no one did.
Super Leia?? WHATS NOT QUITE RIGHT?? THIS BITCH GETS EXPLODED OUT INTO SPACE DOESN'T HAVE ONE SCRATCH ON HER!
You could have cut the whole casino thing cuz that part just DRAGS
Snoke was a fake out?? Alot of buildup for someone defeated so easily
Captain Phasma is a completely pointless character with even less to do than Boba Fett had in the OT
Rose and Finn?? I'm cool with it..just a little out of left field especially since they made us think Finn and Rey may hook up..
Adm Holdo...why was she wearin in a war zone what looks like a gown that would be worn on the red carpet at the golden globes??
The Luke Shootdown scene was BADASS
Like cowboys...old Jedis don't die they just slowly fade away
The porgs were pointless
BB8 made his bones in this flick and can take his place along side R2D2 as best droid companion EVER
Overall I liked it...its definitely a step up from FA..But its DEFINITELY for THIS generation..not old heads who are still chasing the OT dragon high....:D

I saw it a second time, I liked it even better than the first viewing, because I blocked out all the negative press it got.
