A good sign for sure.
I think TROS will do well regardless. Disney know what they're doing when it comes to marketing these things (Solo notwithstanding).
I can see it doing $230m OW, $700m domestic and around $1.4bn worldwide. As long as it at the very least matches TLJ I think they will be happy. There's no way it gets anywhere near TFA's figures.

According to That Star Wars Show, on the official Star Wars channel and shot at the ranch, the thing Rey and Kylo were destroying was a shrine that Kylo had to Vader
And the Transformer movies were also a finaciel succes
it will take a few years to even out. More people are ordering online tickets in presale than they were six months ago. But then six months ago more people were doing it than they were six months before that.
we also have to consider that Atom tickets is owned by Disney and that JJ is a major stockholder
Apparently Solo outperformed Black Panther in pre-sale tickets according to Fandango and opened to less than half. All I'm saying is it's not remotely a barometer of how much the film is going to open to.
Which is a totally fair assessment, and something I wasn't aware of in my initial comment on this issue. (Plus it was 4am, I was dealing with a screaming baby and my brain wasn't at full strength. But enough excuses...
)I think the movie will make more than a billion globally (which isn't saying a ton these days for blockbusters).
I believe it will outdo Rogue One.
I hope it will outdo TLJ.
As you suggested earlier , It doesn't seem particularly likely it will outdo TFA.
It's all good. I have felt your pain having a 4 year old daughter myselfWhich is a totally fair assessment, and something I wasn't aware of in my initial comment on this issue. (Plus it was 4am, I was dealing with a screaming baby and my brain wasn't at full strength. But enough excuses...
I think TLJ's number is the floor to what Disney will expect from TROS, beating RO is surely a given - I think they'd be very disappointed with RO numbers, despite them being decent in their own right. It's possible this will open to less than $200m domestically, but I think it's unlikely.
I think TRoS' success depends on if the audience is going to buy "the end of the Skywalker Saga" marketing or not. Endgame had the distinction of being a film that basically wrapped up 20+ films before it over a ten year period, in a sense being a culmination of multiple franchises (Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The OG Avengers) along with including many continuing characters (Guardians, Doctor Strange, Spidey, Ant-Man, etc.), all who have had their own audiences to pull from. "The end of the Skywalker Saga" is arguably a bigger cultural event as it is a culmination of four decades of storytelling. It is possible to avoid either Marvel or Star Wars for that time but I think its harder on the Star Wars front. So, we'll see. Box office receipts of course does not equal quality, but it does suggest success. But if they buy into it, people will want to know how it all wraps up.
Absolutely this. Though I don't think the general public see 'the end of the Skywalker saga' as a big thing, and for the most part I feel the MCU has SW beat, especially among younger viewers (all my opinion of course) I think it is a big deal for long time fans of the series, and that's a lot of people still, plus their kids, who they're reliving their childhood through - like myself.
I have a strong feeling that TROS will be the best film of the trilogy critically - on the surface it seems to be more original than TFA, and I can't see it being as divisive as TLJ.
God I hope not. I don't know if I can deal with more of what we had two years ago. Then again, in some circles, I don't think it ever died down.
That's a spoiler, then. This isn't a spoiler thread, is it?
Yeah I've had it up to here with that. TLJ is without doubt the Star Trek into Darkness of the ST. I'd like to think TROS will be a safer, crowd-pleaser of a film.
Fingers crossed. Just like with STID, just like Discovery, hate TLJ all you want. I really don't care. There are some fair criticisms out there on all of them. But there comes a point where the constant droning about it being "teh worst evar!!!!!!1!!!one!!!" becomes intolerable.
to be fair.. it's not a spoiler.. The STar Wars show is just a promotional channel. it would be like saying the trailers themselves are spoilers. They just said it casually like it was obvious. Anything on that show is approved by Lucasfilm
