Do you think WOM is stronger this time? I thought 9 was just a mess of ideas but people seem to like it {nm} RattyBatty Dec 28, 09:40

LAST JEDI had a higher definite recommend in week 2 by almost 10 points {nm} Moviesnob Dec 28, 09:54

Big Friday drop for star wars compared to other movies, including 2013 releases. MattW Dec 28, 10:26

Agree -- I think it needed to stay above $30 mil to be on a "positive" path forward shipwreckedcrew Dec 28, 13:44

Under $24m for star wars on Saturday, yikes {nm} MattW Dec 28, 17:40

Knives Out crosses $100m (if you can make 4 or 5 of these a year, that’s one tentpole you don’t need to hit the jackpot on) bedbug eddie Dec 28, 10:35

theres almost always at least half a dozen original titles that break 100m each year. 6-10 is about what audiences will accept at that level Moviesnob Dec 28, 11:26

but when studios made 20-30 titles a year instead of 10-15, there was more opportunity to spread the risk and diversify a slate {nm} bedbug eddie Dec 28, 15:47
