The-Numbers.com TLJ vs TFA sales of DVD-Bluray #s $45M v. $119.3M for first 3 week... a 37% of TFA sales as reported.
Don't know whether 4k is included, probably.
By units sold TLJ had 2 million units sold vs. 5 million units sold or approx 40% of the sales of TFA.. As noted before by many TLJ split the fanbase and less than half of units sold comparibly bares that out as well. Yes i acknowledge less overall DVD and Bluray sales too.
After watching TLJ Star Wars fans had time to digest, discuss TLJ and the overall displeasure is reflective in sales. Many anecdotes by fans bought TLJ to try and like the movie but ended up hating TLJ even more.
TFA according to The-Numbers.com $188.6M video sales.. to date.. so first 3 weeks accounted for 63% of total DVD and Blurays sales of TFA...
If the same sales percentage applies to TFA then would only bring it to 71.4M since TLJ isn't was well recieved I doubt that sales of TLJ will reach that 71.4M
Rogue one earned 44M in first 3 weeks of DVD/Bluray sales.
MovieSnob you said these numbers might not be accurate... if you have different numbers please share. Have you done a new analysis of TLJ? One youtuber calculated the by RT the actually audience score is 24% for TLJ which is much lower than the current 46% since RT doesn't calculate half and don't want to see in their ratings system.
There are many reasons for Solo failure, just more data to back it up.. the backlash is real regardless of media spin.

TFA and TLJ might be flawed and divisive, but they are still superior to the boring, unnesscary, mundane prequel trilogy. {nm} Jun 07, 05:43
The entitled view of "manbabies" pretty well characterized by that BMD article. Jun 07, 09:47

Thanks MovieSnob your responses were informative, some others are zealous denials of the state of SW. {nm} Jun 07, 09:02
Solo Box Office, TLJ Box Office, polls on SW forums, toy , merch and video game sale declines all are evidence Jun 07, 10:01
Does this include online retailers? Amazon didn't start selling TLJ until approx. 3-4 weeks after its street date {nm} Jun 07, 08:35
