This is encouraging. If they really felt they had a turkey on their hands I don't think they would want negative reviews out a week before it's release.
Indeed Disney bribes reviewers. Are you really silly enough to think anything different? And if that doenst work then Disney tell them if they dont review their movies positive they will lose their prerelease viewings. Its that easy. And its that easy, cause Disney got now su much creative IPs from bought studios.

UMMMM
sounds like queen is already trying to move the goal posts....
I guess those 150 Million dollar Opening Weekend and 390 M domestic tracking/predictions are already making queen nervous...
remember the days when you predicted 500 M or less for SOLO queen....
lol good move though....its clear Solo is not even going to get close to the lows you predicted, better just go ahead and start changing you tune now and moving the goal posts so you dont look like such an Idiot....
PS...Queen did you hear The Last Jedi was the most successful and profitable film of 2017....
that means, in 2015,2016 and 2017....Disneys Star Wars films were the 3 most successful film of the year each year....2015, The Force Awakens was the highest grossing and most Profitable film of the year, 2016 Rogue One was the highest grossing and 3rd most profitable film of the year, 2017 , The Last Jedi was the highest grossing and most Profitble film of the year...
The films have made Disney a Combined 1.3 Billion + in Profit ALONE(not box office, No LITERALLY just Profit)
anyways just thought this would be interesting info to you considering your desperate claims that the Star Wars franchise is in a Low place and on a downward trajectory....
for comparison, WB has made 5 DCEU films, No 1 one made 1 Billion, Not 1 has been the highest grossing movie of the year, and if You combine the Profit WB made from ALL 5 films, The profit doesnt equal even 1 of the Profit Disney made with any of the 3 Star Wars films....
and Now you got SOLO tracking over 150 M.....Its safe to say, Disneys Star Wars is literally The HIghest and most Successful franchise going right now....
billbrown, Last Jedi was the Star Wars film with the worst rating in the complete histroy of Star Wars. It lost almost all of its income withon 3 weeks! That enver ever happened before to a Star Wars movie. In China it didnt even reach the incvome of an average movie. So you like to know how SW VIII made so much profit at the US? Presold tickjets. As soon as the message was spreaded that this movie is pure sh*t it got removed from all cinemas as soon as possible (Which took 4 weeks, cause Disneys contract said so).
Last Jedi was by far the worst Star Wars movie ever and break alömost every negative record ever done by a Star Wars movie. So orry to tell, but your statistics are completely worthless cause you forogt the set them in context to the development after release.
And one last one: How much did Disney spent on Star Wars :) ? They didnt earned any profit yet, cause with Last Jedi they also destroyed the toy merch.
You are simply an idiot. It means that no Star Wars movie ever before felt so fast from the Top place like Last Jedi. And never before a Star Wars movie lost as much compared to its predecessor. Without the presold tickets this movie wouldnt even had reached 1 billion. Read the according WSJ articles, freak.

lol bringing up what Disney Spent on Star Wars is the ultimate desperate move, It shows you have no other options, shows you cant troll or find anything else to possibly suggest the films are doing bad...
example, Had The Force Awakens, Rogue One or The Last Jedi actually FLOPPED, actually made like 600 or 700 Million....there wouldnt be a single person here ever bringing up The Purchase price...you cant Troll on what you really want to troll on, So you got to get Desperate...
you bringing up how much Disney spent on Star Wars is actually the Ultimate Compliment...It means you know theres no hope trying to troll on the 3 Star Wars films, because they are too successful.
All your other trolling doesnt even need a response ....You may very well believe what your saying, you may very well believe The Last Jedi was so hated its going to doom the Star Wars films going forward....
I dont know if thats true or not, all I can do is go by the facts and the facts clearly stat TLJ was a universally loved film by the Majority, I dont deny it is clear there is a portion that does not like the film...but the difference between you and I is, I'm not biased, I'm not going to pretend to know HOW MUCH that portion is...I cant say like you that its enough to doom the franchise going forward...
It seemed to me, that the Minority that strongly dislikes this film is Die Hard Star Wars fans that hate what they did with the characters...but even then Its spilt, there just as many Die hard that love it as hate it...
so what you really got to consider is...How much of the audience that saw The Last Jedi is DIE Hard fans...believe it or not, the over whelming majority that sees big blockbusters like Star Wars movies or Comic Book Movies is the General Public...study have been done, about 10 to 20% of the total tickets sold and box office that comes from CBMs and other Established Brands comes from the Hardcore fanbases...
so what that means is, if Star Wars made 1.3 Billion...at Most about 260 Million dollars of its box office came from Die Hard Fans, The Fans that seemed to Hate the film...
So thats means around 1 Billion dollars or 80% of Star Wars box office came from the General Public...which doesnt understand or know The history of the franchise and characters like Die Hards, and therefo didnt hate the film or even really notice any of the problems that the Die hards hated.
now going forward, what does that mean, Well it means theres a very good chance Star Wars 9 will lose some box office, The Die hards who clearly hated the film may not come back, but again were talking about Maybe 5 to 10%....since Die Hards were spilt, with roughly half liking it and half hating it, that means if Die Hard fans made up 20% of the audience that saw The Last Jedi, then Maybe half wont return for SW9...which is about 130 Million dollars worth of box office...
next we need to look at how the 80% or Majority(which is the general Public) reacted to The Last Jedi...thats the only way we can judge how the future films will do....and based on all evidence The Majority Liked it, it had a Good cinemascore, great reviews, good ratings and everything points to The General Public liking the film...
So in conclusion...IMO you are just wrong...the amount of people that Hated Star Wars isnt enough to doom the franchise or even badly hurt its box office...The Overwhelming Majority that saw this movie is the General Public who simply doesnt know the franchise or characters well enough to understand the complaints and dislikes of Die hards...
I do agree, The Last Jedi did damage, I do believe there will be a noticeable and very real drop in box office due to The Last Jedi...Its just going to be a 10% drop, which accounts for about 130 M...
Yep, the 10% drop Last Hope got in China :) . Cause that was the real market for testing the fiscal impact of the Last Hope desaster. Cause that was the only major market which got the release after it was known how bad this movie was. And now compare the income of Force Awakens and Last Hope in China.
SW IX wont lose just 10%. It wont most likely reach the billion dollar and therefor wont reach a positive break point. And I could also ell you why. Cause its now more profitable for media to make fun of Disney Wars instead of joining the hype train. Cause Last Hope was hated by the majority! They jsut realized that after they spent their money. And BTW LAst Hope hit so many negative records no other STar Wars movie reached before. One of them was: Lowest reviewing of a Star Wars movie ever. And my favorite: Worst Star Wars movie ever. Even Battle For Endor (and that was really boring) got better reviews.
So .... China proved that Last Hope really, really damged this IP. If its 25% less income with SW IX or even more .... well see. But Not-Solo will already realize that new bad reputation.
identical to Rogue One proves You are drastically over stating the damage The Last Jedi did...
If TLJ really did DOOM the franchise or If it was More than Just Die hards that disliked the movie...we would be seeing it SOLOs tracking...
instead were not, Instead its literally identical to rogue one, that shows The Majority that saw TLJ was The General Public and The General Public is having no downward trajectory...
there just no way around it....Rogue One was the movie directly before TLJ...If TLJ really doomed the Star Was franchise, We should be seeing a huge drop in SOLO...in a way its the perfect indicator, you have clear proof where the fan base was before TLJ...Rogue One opened to 150 M....Then came TLJ, if the General Public hated TLJ as much as Die Hards, SOLO shouldnt be tracking any where near Rogue One, Instead it is...proving TLJ did not effect the General Public one bit...
Now again I'm not Biased, If Solo comes out and makes drastically less than Rogue One...Then its safe to say TLJ did some real damage...If SW9 comes out and fails to make 1 Billion...Its fair to say TLJ did damage
But right now...everything points to The General Public being just as invested in the Star Wars films before and after TLJ...
Right NOw all we can say for certain is...TLJ badly disappointed Die Hard fans...Luckily for Disney though...Die Hard fans only make up a small minority who see these films...
you are either drastically over stating the Damage TLJ did...or you dont understand The audience that sees these films and dont understand The General Public..
So thats how they bribe their "reviewers" this time? Invitation to the Cote d´azur. So almost 100% positive reviews are sure now.

Quint ...just go ahead and forget everything I said above, I did Not read this ^ statement before replying, had I did, I wouldnt have replied at all....
I thought by your first post you maybe just hated the film and were angry , so I went ahead replied ...But Had I seen the "Disney pays critics" statement before I would have immediately known you were trolling and wouldnt have wasted the time replying...
please dont even reply to this, I'm not trying to be mean, Just being Honest, I literally dont have any interest and anything you say after reading "Disney pays critics"....for me that pretty much as low and pathetic as you can go, for you to even get to that point its astonishes me and your not the first or only...DC fans did when Their movies failed and MCU succeeded, I've seen other Star Wars trolls also stoop to these levels...for me Its just Post Ender...the second you or someone else goes there, theres simply no reason to ever speak to that person again, at that point, you or anyone becomes a Mentally ILL Person to me...
I promise I wont respond to other post of yours, Please do the same with me...in fact I'm going to block you, Please Block me too
