What's your definition of a star? I mean are you talking someone that is constantly on extra for screwing up?

He is not B list, he's easily a top 10 face of current African American actors. And has starred in many memorable films in a durable career that has lasted over 30 years. He may not have the box office clout of say Will, Eddie, and Denzel. But I if you show a picture of him to anyone, most would recognize him. Hell him and his improv rubber band was the only interesting thing about Taken 3. He's been in so many classics that you forget for the mere fact his acting is of such a high caliber. And Rogue One will definitely enhance him. He's easily the biggest name in the film.

He is, you're right. But again, that doesn't make him a star.

Again what is your definition of a star? Because he has a family and keeps a private life? i think you're leaning more towards a celebrity and not a movie star.

I don't consider him a star, sorry that offends you.

Nah, it's friday

That would be awesome

I'd be happy with anything above 500m

I'd say the disappointment bar for this is $400 mil. Which is insane.

I agree.

400m for other franchise is HUGE....but not for SW.
TFA changed EVERYTHING!

I have a feeling this will do really really big numbers. I don't think it will behave like a spinoff. It has plenty of iconic Star Wars elements in the trailer. Who won't want to see this that liked TFA? Very few. I wouldn't be surprised if this became the #2 film domestically if it is good.

I agree with everything you said.
However, it's not like it matters if the movie contains 'stars' since the brand is what is selling this.

my current expectations for Rogue One: 380-400m at worst, 500-550m at best.

Its going to get great reviews regardless of the movie. SW will be like Marvel in terms of critical reception

Supposedly Disney is not happy with Rogue One and they're undergoing reshoots this summer. Let's see if this even gets half the publicity SS reshoots did...

Should still make a ton of money though if the movie is not good it could do "only" $400m.

Let me get this straight...

So Disney takes away STAR WARS from Fox (News Corp) and a News Corp website is the only one reporting that the new SW movie is a mess...

...nuff said... (for now)

Don't do the conspiracy fanboy thing. Fox gains literally nothing from ROGUE ONE not doing well.

Studio buzz is a very real thing, especially with Disney. They were worried about AGE OF ULTRON -- that film divided people. They were over the moon about THE FORCE AWAKENS and CIVIL WAR -- people loved them.

If Disney's worried about ROGUE ONE, it is not something to just shrug off.

I don't think NewsCorp is claiming anything other than saying there are reshoots. Whatever else is mentioned in the article is generally what is reported for reshoots. If they had to do that then could have done the same for SW7.

I should point out, to counter my previous point, that it seems very unlikely to me that ROGUE ONE has had test screenings.

This is as much bullshit as the Suicide Squad reshoots.

Oh Fox certainly has something to gain, as they open ASSASSIN'S CREED a week later...

The SUICIDE SQUAD reshoot story was 100% true. Ayer's lying. They're bulking up humor and significantly changing the third act to add more teamwork.

right. That's what I said.

No, it isn't.

Though it could have been, now that I read it again.

Basically I hate you.

Devin Faraci's hearing the same thing about Disney's reaction to ROGUE ONE.

But wait Fox paid him to write this........
