Do think RJ Will Still Do His Trilogy Now?
TLJ is underperforming, and looks to barely pass Rogue One now
share"Disney and Lucasfilm latest entry in the Star Wars franchise is another smash hit at the Box Office, surprising no one. The film has already made half a billion worldwide — and it hasn't even been out for a full week yet.
A box office report from Deadline estimates Star Wars: The Last Jedi has hauled in $537 million in theaters across the globe, with $274.8 million coming from overseas markets.
The number comes after a huge bump on Tuesday where the film made a combined $42.1 million from global markets. The movie has continued to have impressive hauls out of the weekend, capitalizing on its impressive Monday where it scored $22.2 million overseas and $21.8 domestically.
With a minimal drop off from Monday to Tuesday, Rian Johnson's installment in the sci-fi/fantasy epic is poised to have a huge week heading into a crowded Holiday weekend. Of course it will see some competition when Pitch Perfect 3, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, and The Greatest Showman all open this week.
So far the movie is performing just under Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, though those performed exceptionally well. The Last Jedi is still hauling in huge amount of money, far from underperforming or even disappointing to Disney executives.
The numbers might not stay as high heading into the next week, but it does have a lot of opportunity to continue pulling in large audiences as more and more people go on winter breaks."
If making a little less than some of the highest grossing movies is what you consider "underperforming" then I guess rians trilogy is in trouble.
Today looks like it's on the verge of collapsing...$17 million.
sharelol
shareI guarantee you Disney isn't laughing about this.
shareYeah, cant imagine why theyd be happy at a half a billion in a week.
shareIt's losing steam very quickly, though. Jumanji has a good shot at beating it on it's SECOND WEEKEND!
You don't think Disney is concerned by this trajectory?
You mean because you keep making shit up? Not really.
shareWhy did you think that Jumanji had a chance of beating TLJ for that 2nd weekend? I'd like to know where you do your data-mining or what you use for references and sources. Many of your doom and gloom projections doe Disney and the MCU don't appear to meet your prognostications.
Is there a reason why you post the way you do that matches up with the data that you read or get?
