You're watching a movie about zombies. The above scenario is no more dumb than dead people that are able to walk around with rotting flesh and organs for several weeks/months on end. Sometimes you just have to go with it.
Doesn't mean it's wrong...
Well, the saga is over. There's no longer any formula to change is there? It doesn't really matter what they do from here on out. Again, this was the ending to a story 42 years in the making. Not saying this should have set records, but it should have at least made over $200 mil.
$176 mil. Looks like you called it. I think this will send a strong message to Disney and Lucasfilm. Nostalgia with no story will only get you so far. The Fandom Menace has won!
Most publications have been estimating $190 million based off of Thursday & Friday. I know that $175 million was a conservative estimate before Thursday and Friday, but everything is pointing to $190 million opening. Guess we'll know for sure in 3-4 hours.
Disney has made a lot of money with Star Wars. No arguing that. However, much like the Transformers franchise, Star Wars is trending down. Each movie is making less than the last. This is Episode 9! The close of a story 42 years in the making. This should be making Avengers:Endgame money. It's not and it won't. They're slowly losing the trust of the fans. Disney needs to continue to push good Star Wars content through Disney+ in order to gain back the fans they lost.
