yes, because it will have a huge impact on quarterly profits results which will impact share price and bonuses.
shareYes because it means that people don't care about seeing it more times/telling their friends to watch it.
Which then means people don't feel hyped for the movie and are not hyped for the next one.
Which then means the next movie in the saga will see less numbers.

No, they shouldn't. Look at the difference between Episode IV and V in today's money. Almost 600 Million. When you include the international amount is an even greater than the drop in money than TLJ. So, what this means is that in today's money Empire Strikes back would have lost more money than TLJ. I know your answer to this: But John, their weren't released this year and in brute money ESB only lost 200 M. Well, think on tickets sold. ESB sold less tickets sold than TLJ. So, the drop in audience between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back is even greater then the Drop in audience from TLJ and TFA. I know you will not understand the concept (no surprise), but the drop in money and audiences from episode IV and V and from episodes I and II are very similar to the ones from Episode VII and VIII.
The second movie of every Star Wars trilogy always decrease in money and audiences. It hadn't and will not made a difference. They will continue. They will evaluate and redirect if necessary, but there isn't anything to be panicked about. share
In a word...yes.
