So if it makes anyone feel better about spreading rumors that she whored her way into her position, that's fine by me. Changes nothing. She still is to blame for this flaming garbage heap. But she wasn't alone, so that can't be overlooked either.

BTW... what do you think about the Mandalorian? I don't mean to ask if you've seen it and what your opinions are of it. I mean SHOULD people see it, given that it seems to be universally praised?


My position is that they shouldn't, so long as Kathleen Kennedy is in charge.

IDK. I'm not subscribing to D+ , so I don't watch. But it's a good question. I hear from those who still WANT Star Wars to endure that the Mandalorian is generally a solid show so far. Surprisingly so. I get what you're saying, and I see both sides.

There's a part of me that thinks pumping up the good stuff, like Mandalorian and possibly Rogue One, sends a message to the Mouse that there's a path for them to take, and it's clear for all to see.

But there's also a part of me that recognizes the simple truth - THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT STAR WARS ! They really don't. KK lying about there not being any source material, like freaking Harry Potter, and those inside Disney who post pics of them drinking out of ' Fanboy tears ' mugs, the whole ' The Force is Female ' … all of that garbage is them going out of their way to slap die hard fans, life long supporters of a franchise to just go screw off and that it's THEIR story now.

I guess , in the end, we must make our own choices. I won't watch The Mandalorian because I won't be subscribing to D+. Just as I've abandoned Netflix.

I keep hearing people whining about that happening to them, but in all of the years that I've been on YouTube I've never once been unsubscribed from a channel.

It's an award winning movie. It was rewarded heavily for its risks.

Go watch your PG-13 shit and stick to the RWED where you can tell us all about your plans to assassinate the president and let the adults talk here on the cinema board.

It is no surprise that you live alone and are unemployed, Joker, still smoke, once drank, or that you feel oppressed because, like Joker in the movie, people don't recognize how valuable, how much like a precious, yet undiscovered gem you are. It figures you'd fall into step with Trump lovers and Joker lovers.

Oh, did you mean that it will do well opening weekend and then die?


I thought you were so disinterested that you didn't realize that it was premiering tonight.

It may have done much better than expected on the first night, despite hearing that every single spoiler that came out about it was true and a lot of people knew what was going to happen going into it.

Can't say for sure without the details, but the-numbers.com was predicting only a 40 Million dollar opening night last night, but now they've changed that number to 90 Million, even though the actual totals aren't in. No word on their site why they made that change, or how they would get information that would make them change that number.


If the new prediction is right, that's more than twice what was initially predicted it would pull in, but still 30 Million less than The Force Awakens and 15 Million less than The Last Jedi.



It probably didn't stand a chance cracking 1 Billion if it had a 40 Million opening night domestically, but it might eek out a win if it's showing well internationally and it has legs.





They're predicting that it made around 60 Million internationally right now.

I can't seem to find any comparable data for what The Last Jedi made opening night internationally. Any website that I look at only shows individual totals by country for the entire opening weekend, and the entire total worldwide which stated that it made $450 million. Minus the $220 million it made in the states, that's $230 million internationally for the whole weekend.

If the numbers internationally go the same way they do here in the states, generally speaking, Saturday night will be less by as much as 40% than Friday night (as was the case with The Last Jedi).


If the $90 Million US projection and the $60 Million international projections are correct, I'm going to guess that Episode 9 pulls in $320 Million internationally in the first weekend, which is about $120 Million less than Episode 8.


That number may be larger if they throw in Thursday's early showings.




Come to think of it... I wonder if that's where the additional money came from? I'm looking at TLJ right now on the-numbers.com and they don't show any data for December 14th, 2017, which would have been the early Thursday showings.

That would also explain why there was a 40% drop from Friday to Saturday which seemed a little steep to me.
