Nature of the beast in the internet age...A lot of people loved 'La La Land', some thought it was trash. Many have hailed 'Blade Runner

Posted by: RoBoGuru on Dec 29, 06:41 in response to albrown's post I'm less and less convinced that this is completely true....

2049' a masterpiece...others not so much.  I personally really enjoyed Last Jedi and how Rian Johnson stands the conventional Star Wars trilogy motif on its head.  Many SW superfans sound like Han Solo in TFA, "That's not how the Force works." But I believe that just as Luke teaches Ray that "the Force" doesn't belong to the Jedi or the Sith, neither does Star Wars belong to the geeks and nerds and to think so is vanity..."This isn't going to go the way you think!"...I actually can't believe that Disney allowed Rian Johnson to make this Star Wars film.   Now we'll see if JJ Abrams tries to piece all of the butthurt Star Wars theorists' lives back together or give us something "truly special".

Wednesday BO numbers: STAR8 $21.5m (down 22.4%)/$444.8 total; JUMNJ $15.1m (down 11.7%) $104.2m total tomcat90 Dec 28, 08:50

If STAR8 falls only 50% weekend/weekend (it fell 65.7% 1st to 2nd W/E), and only 30% weekdays (school back in), it would delist $584 tomcat90 Dec 28, 09:07

Tom, what a math wiz. PJ going to SW now with the family. {nm} tradermark Dec 28, 09:35

Haha, PJ :) {nm} tomcat90 Dec 28, 10:04

Weekend 3 wont drop much, should easily top rogue one's $50m 3rd wkend {nm} MattW Dec 28, 09:46

why would it drop 50% this WE? Rogue One dropped 22.5% and TFA 39.5% in their 3rd weekends, and this is NYE weekend {nm} numbersix_99 Dec 28, 09:47

STAR8 should increase this weekend, though not as much as other films. {nm} RollingThunder Dec 28, 09:49

I know you're using past data but increase? With the mix WOM, is doubtful, no? ROG fell 59% and STAR7 40% on Christmas, this one fell 67% {nm} mexgoer33 Dec 28, 10:07

And yes the calendar. But Last Year ROG fell 29% from Christmas to New Year's. Passengers and Sing increased {nm} mexgoer33 Dec 28, 10:08

Only reason the WOM is mixed is a small group of trolls trying to ruin everyone’s fun. {nm} austpow Dec 28, 13:33

I'm not a Troll and I'm a fan (not huge, but fan) and didn't like this one. Liked it less than Attack of the Clones. Neither my family {nm} mexgoer33 Dec 28, 14:34

Definitely not a small group. Everyone I work with will not shut up complaining about everything wrong with TLJ. Silverblue76 Dec 28, 15:22

I'm less and less convinced that this is completely true. Too many people I have talked to and too many other folks in other forums that albrown Dec 28, 15:41

TLJ works as a movie you don't think too much about, but as part of an existing universe is where it falters Silverblue76 Dec 29, 08:16

the Star Wars subreddit seems about 50/50 whenever I glance at the threads...some even re-watched it tealfan Dec 28, 19:04

Rian Johnson killed the story, sorry, it's just awful.. Almost fell asleep the first 2 hours, then wanted a refund. {nm} TJNFL1 Dec 30, 01:33

Even if you split the difference, and it falls 31%, that puts W/E#3 at $49.38 (let's call it $51m to top RO), that still delists at $599 {nm} tomcat90 Dec 28, 09:58

Solid for JUMNJ. {nm} RollingThunder Dec 28, 09:43

Those Jumanji gains tho 🤗 {nm} MattW Dec 28, 09:46

BOG Estimating $200m+ by end of run tomcat90 Dec 28, 10:01

If it follows more or less the Night at the Museum route, this will delist at more than 200M {nm} mexgoer33 Dec 28, 10:13

Apparently people really like Amy Pond's stomach. :P {nm} DTravel Dec 28, 12:28
