Re: Star Wars - Episode IX predictions (12/20/2019)
I don't know how can people say no one cares when TLJ was one of the biggest movies of all time just 6 months ago. Obviously MANY MANY people care. Also I mentioned before the wait of 1.5 years will help here.

Justice League was supposed to be the main event. Solo is the side dish.

Re: Star Wars - Episode IX predictions (12/20/2019)
For starters let's not consider Solo's failure to of track a finale in SW episode trilogy. Its also not proven that these movies can survive frequent release which could have been the biggest factor here.

In the long term it clearly hurt the brand and has created backlash TLJ shouldn't have impacted Solo as much (other than the two movies coming out so soon). I mean anyone following SW knows that Han is dead and this is his origins story they should have technically been more excited to revisit one of the most famous "older" characters from the original trilogy when the new one is SO messed up. I think it's a case where there was no hook and people rejecting Solo rather than TLJ backlash hurting it. I mean what true SW fan would not see origins of Solo because they didn't like what Rey, Kylo and Luke did in TLJ.

I think it's hilarious that there are dudes out there boycotting Solo because Anthony Ingruber wasn't cast.

Re: Star Wars - Episode IX predictions (12/20/2019)
Why is that hilarious? The movie industry works for the public. The public pays for it, and if the movie industry doesn't make what the public wants for whatever reason, the public votes with its feet. I think its admirable, actually. Usually the public attends 'just because' it's the latest big release.

this will be lucky to match Rogue One. I can't see any situation where it matches TLJ

TLJ took the enthusiasm out of the SW fanbase who no longer will watch anything with SW attached to it.

Re: Star Wars - Episode IX predictions (12/20/2019)
Star Wars is in trouble now, but being the last chapter will help a lot, however I expect it to gross between 550m-600m

Re: Star Wars - Episode IX predictions (12/20/2019)
Given that a Star Wars film is released so often now, I wonder if your average Star Wars fan believes that IX will be the final chapter. Do they trust Disney not to milk it even more? And do some of them even care if it's the last one? Solo's numbers do kind of show that the fans have lost faith. I wonder how far that stretches.
