Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi sub 700m club
TFA has hype well before Thanksgiving so this isn't going to reach that level.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi sub 700m club
Great prediction zwackerm. Looks like it might finish below Avengers for the #5 domestic spot.

The repeat viewings was the problem here

The repeat viewings was the problem here That’s what I said. Saw it once and the ones that hated it bad mouthed it all over the web causing some to not bother seeing it in theaters.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi sub 700m club
And that last part is what I am saying. Everyone who was interested in it saw it once for sure, it would have seen an even bigger dip if casual audience abandoned it.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi sub 700m club
600 mil is still an excellent gross, ahead of Revenge of the Sith and Return of the King adjusted. But it's weird that the gap between it and Rogue One won't be bigger.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi sub 700m club
Imagine if they'd added an extra spin-off movie (Rogue Orc) between Two Towers and Return of the King.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi sub 700m club
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Rogue One diluted the brand a bit. The novelty of a Star Wars Theater Experience is lessened. Demand is therefore lower than it might have been. I'm guessing it would have broken $700m if RO didn't exist.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi sub 700m club
Wouldn't lack of novelty/anticipation translated mostly to OW instead of legs?

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi sub 700m club
Nope SW is generally a HUGE fanbase based movie and as mostly are frontloaded because the fans rush out over OW.
