Yea there is no way on Earth they were actually expecting $160 mil.Disney lowballs their forecasts on purpose so it ends up looking good.

I would cry if he directed a Star Wars movie.
Personally, I thought the marketing for TRoS was quite weak. None of the trailers or commercials really had anything particularly interesting in them compared to the ones for TFA or TLJ to me.Yup, it's why I predicted under 200OW and under a bill WW.
I thought the marketing for 9 was strong, at points very strong but it just never had that Infinity War type of hook.
I have bad feeling they are going to drop Rian Johnson in January and go with Ron Howard for the 2022 movie.
Nightmare fuel.
Lin would be good but after Beyond's failure to reignite interest in Star Trek I'm not sure LFL would view him as the go-to-guy for a new approach.I've stanned it a long time but they need to give Justin Lin a damn call. They need someone who can come in with a different perspective and nail it, He can do it.
Aside from the Rey backflip, much of it was "star wars style action". The more intriguing clips came almost the night before opening.Personally, I thought the marketing for TRoS was quite weak.

Nah, the bad trailers/premise for TRoS didn't hook me.
Me after TLJ " Wow, all the legacy characters are gone and a great actor like Adam Driver can be the unhinged heavy for the next movie. Where will they go next?"
Me after TRoS name reveal/premise/trailer " Oh, so killing Snoke was just a lateral move and this series has to have a old wrinkly dude as the big bad for some reason."
Imo, while the people who didn't like the way TLJ ended contributed to the lower boxoffice this is similar to Solo where general audiences didn't care about JJ's trump card of bring back Palpy.
Maybe people just didn't want to see Palpatine again. Plus the audience is visibly decreasing a lot day on day, so WoM might play a role here.

This, esp since TLJ still made <$1B despite the fan response. This movie could've been salvaged with good reviews and good WoM, but there's a possibility that - along with mixed reviews - it has mixed WoM as well.
So is Kennedy done? Or has she built up enough goodwill between TFA/Mando/Galaxy's Edge to stave off her dismissal?

Much better.What are these box office threads going to be like next year with no looming Star Wars film? lol
If we're lucky maybe we'll get a reduction in Star Wars threads in general until at least Celebration next year
Yeah cause executives totally weigh your 35 year track record (across multiple studios) with your record for their company. 🙄You mean enough goodwill from the past 35 years? lol at anyone that brings Kennedy up because TROS when she's been a big part of movies that have grossed over $10b ww.

Even if you think TLJ was a good movie on it's own I think we can agree after this opening that it didn't set up a good hook for audiences to be excited for episode 9 which is definitely a factor for ROS underperforming, along with the reviews
Naw. We will get several self important "LTTP" and "RTTP" threads about TROS/TLJ where these films will be relitigated into oblivion.If we're lucky maybe we'll get a reduction in Star Wars threads in general until at least Celebration next year
Hey, I like her. I don't want to see her go. How many failures at the BO do you think she's immune to before she faces scrutiny?You mean enough goodwill from the past 35 years? lol at anyone that brings Kennedy up because TROS when she's been a big part of movies that have grossed over $10b ww.
And the new movie releases that same year. I guess we will see if there is another extension beyond that. 🤷🏾♂️Ok, then she's built up enough good will from the ST and Mando, they just renewed her until 2022.
