What's your box office prediction for Star Wars? Do you think it will flop under 1b$...

I'm betting my kidney right now that Disney has allocated a minimum of $500 million to buying their own tickets, so that no matter what actual sales are, they make over a billion.

I honestly wouldn't put it past them to try and make Star Wars the highest grossing movie ever, purely as a PR move to save the brand.

Solo was skippable, more so than this.
We are taking box office, not toy sales, try to keep up.
TLJ cleared 1.3 billion, and what if I told you that there’s more overseas markets besides China?

Nope.

It'll flop like Yea Forums predicting captain marvel will flop

No one is falling for that shit at this point, its going to be the biggest shitposting storm ever when this comes out.

Not enough for disney and shareholders. Most likely it will make the franchise to be placed on a freezer.

Star Wars was never big in China.

Obviously it won't fool anyone. But remember, this is Hollywood PR. They're the people that somehow sell billion-dollar companies the idea that getting woke will get them rich, over and over.

They WILL buy their own tickets, it's just a matter of whether they wanna go overboard with it or try and keep it subdued so it just looks like the movie did above average. My guess, they're gonna step on the gas.

Wouldn't buying their own tickets means they're using shareholder money?

>They WILL buy their own tickets
I do believe the same thing but soon enough they're going to come crashing down

There will be a shitton of post convincing normies to watch the film on first week to avoid massive spoiler like they did for Endgame. That is because these ppl will watch blindly ad on first week Disney gets all the money.

>normies
you're one of them faggot

Disney broke even on their purchase of Lucas Arts in the first year off merchandise alone, no movies needed.

Even if normies watch, it'll be not enough. It's the fanboys who watch this shit hard.

>implying there are still that many fanboys

Solo was skippable, but at least it wasn't as bad as Episodes I-VIII have been. Pathetic when your main 8 movies, soon to be 9, are worse than your external content.

999Mb

I'm calling 550mil.
TLJ didn't pick up new fans. There was mass hype as people were expecting it to be "the dark one" and "the first new one".

Agree, fanboys go 2-3 times.

imagine knowing so little about reality that you could wear that hoodie

>? I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up around 800m$.
screencapped for when you're wrong again, for the umpteenth time.

>I'm betting my kidney on a retarded conspiracy

More than TLJ, but wayyyy less than TFA

1.5 billion max.

Let me tell you fags how thisbis gonna go down. Caption this.

First day it's gonna be "claimed" it broke box office records. Which mouth breathers are gonna cum themselves over.

After the weekend it will say some shit like it made 100m+ on opening week. Which mouth breathers will screen cap and repost and report on all media fronts.

Months later it will have a re-release with extra footage. For whatever reason.

Or it will stay in theaters for months until it hits one billion.

>the idea that getting woke will get them rich, over and over.
and it's literally true, otherwise these films would be flopping and they aren't.

Disney is going to lie their way to the billion, then it will make shit up and push it after Avengers Endgame placing Avatar in 4th place.

Meanwhile in China, there will be a billion tickets printed with no one actually in the theaters, the theaters might not even play the movie inside.

Finally, next year fiscal review will reveal Disney has been bleeding money and its stocks will sodoku.

I love all the mental gymnastics
>they are lying
>they are buying tickets
>overseas won't count
>diminishing returns
>muh shareholders
>it's just because it says "Star Wars on it"
>the gorbillion dollar marketing
All to prevent your brain from accepting that these movies are successful.

Hopefully Disney dies. They just make bad products and not only that their corporate pollution is staggering. So progressive!

>more reason to watch

How do you figure? 2 movies in and the MC is still a mary sue blank slate with no personality, objectives or motivations. The antagonist is a mess. The rest of the cast is just there for the diversity quota. The previous movies also had no plot and failed to build any kind of interest or build up and, except for the emperor, they already wasted all of the original cast cameos (nostalgia factor).

Why would anyone think they could actually do something decent or even save this trilogy at this point? Granted normies are retarded and whatnot so everything is possible.

This is what will happen.
It is not for the audience, it is for the investors. I am still perplexed from the amount of hacks Disney has hired over the years, they will rather lie than tell some of them to fuck off.

It’s the last movie. Not the guy you’re talking to but wrapping up the trilogy? It’s obviously gonna be bigger than 2 no matter how bad it is. Fucking TFA was trash, TLJ was better albeit both were cancer and yet combined they made 3 billion. Half the people going to see it are people going to see it for the brand and the other half think they’re leading some kind of racial revolution by buying into huge corporate schemes like Star Wars for some reason.

>I am trolling on tv
You forgot to call me an incel buddy.

Also what I posted literally happened this year, Disney fiscal review already revealed they have been bleeding money.

I do not care anymore, like, I have a sibling that liked Disney a lot and even became a writer because of it. She is fairly famous and a total fangirl, her friends too.

She is super disappointed on the current state of Disney. Bear in mind, Disney has sent her tickets and invited her to events, so that is saying something.

Imagine living in a world where the middle installment of a Star Wars trilogy, a decades-spanning worldwide pop culture phenomenon, barely makes more money than an ocean-based superhero who's been the butt of jokes for his entire existence, and who was coming off a decidedly lackluster previous movie. Wait, you don't have to imagine that world. You're living in it.

I still wonder why Disney did not go ahead and make their own star wars, in would had been cheaper than buying the license and no one would had shit on their OCs.

The whole thing makes no sense, it is literally "Hollywood Logic".

They wanted the brand. What I wanna know is why these movies are so awful and boring. The diversity hires aren’t what made the movies bad. They’re so awful and boring. Nothing happens. Just a bunch of quips in between shots tailor-made for the trailer. Fucking schlock. People shit on Twilight? Twilight blows Nu-Wars out of the fucking water.

A little bit more than TLJ so maybe 1.4-1.45 billion. Mostly because Disney is going to heavily market it as "the end" to convince those in,the US and European markets to check it out. It'd be nice to see it do Rogue One numbers at most. That'd be disappointing for the mouse.

>4channel shitposting matters

>you're trolling that these movies are financially successful
okay, incel.
>Disney fiscal review said...
what is the source for this? A blog by some faggot online?

>wrapping up the trilogy?

My point was that there is kinda nothing to wrap because nothing was actually developed or even hinted. And the things that where are sloppy at best. This is the kind of movie one waits for a rip to see... if at all.

I do get your other points though. Several franchises live on name and past glories and brand recognition these days.

>The brand still pulls cash.

Not really.

>Solo bombed
>The toy sales are slumping to the point where they were one of the contributors to Toys R Us going tits up
>Galaxy's Edge is a "ghost town"
>The Resistance cartoon is getting cancelled after only two seasons

I unironically look forward to the re-energized wave of youtubers shit talking it after release. That shit was comfy.

None of that has stopped the mainline Sequel films from making bank. And Galaxy's Edge isn't going to be a money pit for long.

I totally forgot this was coming out

Source? I haven't seen anywhere that they made $4 billion on merchandising total, much less in the first year.

TFA had preorders for toys up the fucking ass before the movie came out, user. It dwindled mostly in part because nobody buys actual toys anymore.

Could you imagine us talking about George's trilogy and where it would be by now? Could you imagine how much better shitposting about George's movies would be and the conversations we would be having about the depths of the microbial essence of the Force and its comnection to the cosmos instead of this abysmal tone and direction the franchise went instead? Could you imagine him breaking into the Asian market by blending many of Star Wars' existing samurai undertones and turning up the volume? Could you imagine one last big WWII battle in space? Could you imaginenthe modern gen games being churned out by Lucasfilm? Could you imagine a satisfying conclusion to Clone Wars that set up a new live action film and tv series?

Why does this timeline suck so fucking much?

I'm going guess around $800-850 million

I grew up with the original trilogy, wore out the tapes. I was at opening night for the prequels. Know how I know Rise of Skywalker is going to falls short of Disney's expectations?
I've already voluntarily read the rumored spoilers. I simply don't care about being spoiled. I watched TFA the weekend of, but not opening night. I waited for streaming for TLJ. Rise of Skywalker? not worried about it. If someone completely spoiled it for me right now I wouldn't care. That's how I know it's going to fail. I'm looking forward to it in only so far how badly the fuck it up.
I almost feel bad for Disney.

It's Star Wars, it'll get to $1 billion

quarter pounder might actually be somewhat entertaining again

Kill yourself subhuman trash pile

600 mil. and that's being generous.

How much you want to bet they are going to do the re-release extended cut shit?

hoping anons and other peeps will be taking pics of near empty theater seats. let's expose the lies.

This is what I've been saying as well. If Aladdin can make 1bil, this shit can too.

>actually thinking this is going to happen

tree billion topping Avatar to become the new #1 film of all time

I'm going to say just about 800 million

It'll under perform to TLJ, but will almost certainly do better than Solo. If this movie does under 500-million I think Disney is going to do a massive shakeup in Lucasfilm, which at this point would be the best thing that could happen. I hope this movie flops though.

As long as the cocaine cartels need a way to launder money Disney will remain in business.

Eat shit. The only foreign markets that matter are China and maybe India as far as box office take.

Same as TLJ aka a decent success

we did it for fembushters.

It will make over a billion dollars but half of it came from Tencent buying tickets from Disney.

Avatar is going to flop so fucking hard. The only thing it had going for it was the 3D gimmick.

Maybe if Cameron hires an actually decent writer this time. But I doubt his ego would allow it.

Fucking this. People need to realize how much Disney is basically becoming a front for the CPC at this point.

nobody cares

at least 20 bucks.

No, that will be Frozen 2 user.

Keep in mind that all of those things happened after TLJ. There's really no way to tell what effect will it have on episode 9.

I'm putting it at around 1 billion, maybe slightly under TLJ, but not by much. But no, it's not gonna flop, that's for sure.

>somebody will go to a 10:00am screening in the middle bumfuck knowhere and take a pic on twitter saying “WOW LOOK AT ALL THE EMPTY SEATS DISNEY MURDERED STAR WARS”
>Yea Forums will use this information to conclude this film is flopping and Disney is buying tickets

>screencap this
Post pics of you dilating your """vagina""" then I will.

yeah youtibe faggots will be all over this shit for clicks, but I still think it's going to under perform compared to TFA and TLJ.

Sheev, it's the last one, and not a literally who but a known quanitty (JJ abrams).
Truth is JJ Abrams is actually a net negative because he's awful at writing coherent stories, in particular endings for things he set up as mysteries.

I don't know if Disney would do that unless they needed to for tax purposes or as loss-leaders to imply interest in all of their MCU stuff is as high as ever.
People know they've burnt most of their bridges when it comes to star wars, and anyway the point of faking interest seems to me to be to get actual interest for the "big event", and if the finale of the "main story" (lol) isn't one, then none are. If Disney is in any shape a real company and not just money laundering propping up a major arm of the US propaganda ministry, they will have been banking on this as a money-spinner.

They've clearly been avoiding marketing it as much as they can to try and make people forget how shit all the other ones are though. They want impulse viewings without giving people time to actually think about it.

You make be literally addicted to being outraged.

Goddammit

It will make a billion dollars because retarded chinks will watch it.
