 Re: Star Wars - Episode IX predictions (12/20/2019)
Coming from the guy who think Kylo Ren had a draw with Rey at the end of TFA...don't make me laugh.
I literally listed the sequence of events that leaves him on the ground with multiple wounds including a slice across the face and no weapon...and you think....draw
If you want to double down on stupid, that is up to you. But it is completely obvious.

Only in some alternate reality would anyone even think Kylo was NOT defeated and were it not for a convenient crack in the planet she might have ended him right then and there but of course JJ couldn't let that happen.
"did rey beat kylo" in google gives you these search results. Pretty clear.

I like Rey, I enjoy rooting for her, but she is crazy overpowered. Isildur getting lucky and Harry Potter having plot no jutsu are definitely writing tropes as well, but not in the Gary Stu context. Isildur is insta corrupted by the ring which washes that away. Harry Potter is a super flawed character who is only good at certain things, but terrible at others. Can you tell me Rey's weakness?...she doesn't really have any. A good example of a Gary Stu is any Superman movie (at least he has Kryptonite). There is nothing inherently wrong about a character being written as always being good at stuff, it is just a lazy writing trope is all.

 Re: Star Wars - Episode IX predictions (12/20/2019)
Modified my vote to $650-$700m. Hoping it keeps the streak going of the third film outgrossing the second.

Hype still feels very low but things can change very quickly after this trailer. JOHN BOYEGA AGENT IS NOW SAYING THE TRAILER COMING OUT THIS MONDAY (14TH) NIGHT...on his Instagram

If the organized old school fan boycott of Disney Star Wars continues, the box office results could be unpredictable, and in a bad way.

 Re: Star Wars - Episode IX predictions (12/20/2019)
Downgraded to $630m. I just need it to outgross TLJ. Not feeling the buzz for this one. That makes me sad.

No news today about the trailer from SW official page so guessing it'll be the 21st when the trailer drops

 Re: Star Wars - Episode IX predictions (12/20/2019)
Its end October and the buzz does not seem to pick up. I still think it will do BIG numbers but I wouldn't be surprised by a lower opening (lower by SW standards). I think a RO type run might be in order.

Yeah the box office has bounced back in a big way. This is going to explode.

Magnus wrote: I mean are people actually going to boycott this? I know plenty of people who weren’t fans of TLJ and all of them will go see this. It may not increase but those expecting a big drop I feel are misjudging how the fanbase reacts. This isn’t Solo.
Unless the WOM is truly toxic, it will break 600m. If you dig deeper, you know that's not that case. Search your feelings, you know it to be true. For a December holiday film, The Last Jedi's legs were fairly bad. There's more; if you look up home video sales, they were pretty bad as well, in proportion to the worldwide box office. The fan backlash started somewhat with The Last Jedi and carried on into Solo. Anecdotally, The Last Jedi has also been on Netflix in a number of countries, and on Netflix I never really saw it on the trending or popular lists. Furthermore, Star Wars toy sales since the Last Jedi have been tanking and have been disappointing. Anecdotally, I still see tons of The Last Jedi and Solo toys collecting dust on shelves at various stores. Oh, and the Galaxy's Edge Star Wars additions at Disneyworlds have apparently been a disappointment as well in terms of attendance. No smoking gun you could argue, but a lot of circumstantial evidence that fans just aren't that enthusiastic about Star Wars anymore. What Episode 9 does have going for it is that it's the end of the current Disney trilogy. Some fans may show up just to see how it ends. It could certainly still pull off a big opening, but it's quite possible legs could be bad if fans don't repeat watch it.

 Re: Star Wars - Episode IX predictions (12/20/2019)
I still cant see it doing less than $600m or TLJ. Expecting a gross a bit higher than TLJ at this point.

And if you think TLJ has worst WOM than the COMBINED reception of TPM/AOTC, you're a child who didnt live from 1999-2002 so stfu. ROTS had great marketing and Darth Vader finally was in it. A straight sequel to AOTC without that might do 250m

Are you proposing that is what will happen with ROS over TLJ? Child? Lol I lived through TPM and AOTC. TPM actually had strong legs, and a lot of the backlash was related to how lackluster AOTC was, not TPM itself. Yet that backlash did not last long and did not affect ROTS (like TLJ backlash affected Solo). Furthermore, there was no noticeable affect on toy sales or other merchandise. This current backlash is noticeably different than the AOTC era, it's not apples to apples sorry.

 Re: Star Wars - Episode IX predictions (12/20/2019)
I have said this before but Disney+'s new series Mandalorian could be a big factor here. Specially with families if they feel like SW is just another thing that they can catch at home there might not be a need to rush into theaters over OW. Based on this Ep9 "may" have a lower opening and then based on WoM very good legs. I am really not worried about the legs on this one its the opening that sort of concerns me, even after 1.5 years of gap this just feels like something that will end but not exactly end.

We'll see what happens with ROS soon enough.
