The greatest trick Star Wars ever pulled was convincing the world that it wasn't good (while raking in fortunes that would eclipse most countries wealth)…
Its fun to rip on it, especially after you've paid to see it 3-5 times :)
We'll see. Solo lost $50-100 million. I don't think TROS will lose money, but it's not going to rake in a fortune either.
shareI'm not so sure we'll ever see the actual numbers, only the massaged numbers given for public consumption. The real tell will be the length of time it takes Disney to make the next movie. Bob Iger already made it clear that the film arm of the franchise was going on hiatus after Solo.
That's a far cry from the proclamation of '1 Film Per Year' when they first bought Lucas.
That's the real give-away right there. Why would they not continue producing a film every year if they were making money, even if it was only a small profit - it would make no sense. However, if you're losing a chunk of capital with every movie, it makes very good sense to discontinue making the flicks for a while.
