80 mil 4 days is like an awful number. No way its that low for star wars.

What’s the budget for this movie? $200M?

There seems to be zero excitement from anyone about this. I wonder if we are looking at the second theatrical Star Wars bomb?

That’s the key point
“While that’s not the $100M+ openings we’re accustomed to for a Star Wars movie, duly note that it’s still early in the campaign, and though skewing currently with men over 25, Disney’s plan is to attract more families heading into the pic’s opening on May 22.”
This movie must breakout of the typical Star Wars Nerd demo to succeed. Because the comps aren’t too hot right now. 3 weeks to right the ship let’s go.

Not bad! That’s good.

Lowball. Isn’t it looking to make 100m over the four-day

I’m not sure what Deadline is smoking here. Presales point closer to an 80m+ 3-DAY than a 80m+ 4-day. It seems much more realistic for this to hit 100m+ in the 4-day. Another classic Deadline lowball

Comparing this with Final Reckoning? For DOM is understandable, but the INT markets will probably not ve as kind as they were with that one.
By no means this movie will make it out of the $400M WW

But in this sub they were making us believe this was selling in presales like a family movie, and they’re comparing it to Lilo & Stitch.

For once deadline doesn’t seem to be lowballing

I have to imagine that the strategy for this movie is:
1. Get something decent out there to remind general audiences of what they liked about Star Wars
2. Hope it doesn’t bomb too hard
3. Pray that future mainline movies reap the benefits
Through that lens, this kind of result would be basically fine, as long as it legs out decently.

I think this will do Superman numbers. Enough to satisfy the Mouse for a streaming show turned movie. Enough not to be called a disaster. The real test will be Starfighter.

Looks like a lowball

$80 million 4-day is like… really bad. This movie is going to flop.

This should’ve went straight to Disney+ like a year or two ago and Lucasfilm should’ve released the Ryan Gosling Starfighter movie in theaters this year.

That is absolutely atrocious. Especially if you take into account this is going to be domestic heavy. Likely doing less than Solo.

Prob hits $90

I’m excited to see it, but I’m increasingly getting the feeling that returning to the theaters with a special isn’t a great idea. I’m afraid it won’t even achieve the same results as Solo. The fans aren’t that enthusiastic, let alone the general public who are used to watching these characters at home on TV.

Grogu merch prints money. Not trying to sound cynical but this movie seems like a big commercial to generate traffic for Disney+ and merch sales to get their Q2 earnings up.
Combined with Devil Wears Prada and the first two weeks of Toy Story 5, they’re looking good going into summer.
