You mean to tell me a rotten movie with low Cinemascore, low metacritic, low iMDB and tons of shitty youtube videos trashing it had a drop?
Impossible, it has 86% audience score on RT!

Only 71% drop from last Friday. Better than the 76% drop that Last Jedi had. Also going to have a higher second weekend than Last Jedi.
TAKE THAT, RUIN JOHNSON!
Ignore the fact that Christmas Eve was TLJ second saturday and brought it down hard, as Christmas Eve does with most films.
That's about a -70.7% from last Friday. For context, that compares to a -76.3% for The Last Jedi, -67.8% for Rogue One, and -58.6% for The Force Awakens
Tied with Jurassic World, Black Panther, and The Last Jedi as the fifth fastest (8 days) to reach 300M domestic.
I still don't think the Friday drop "counts" in comparison to most movies. Most movies aren't released where nearly everyone has the following week off. ROS made a lot of money during that week, and the drop vs Wednesday and Thursday is in line with new movies being released.
It's a datapoint, but if you take it out of the context, it looks like the movie is performing worse overall than it really is.
Not a defense of the movie, just an observation that context is important.

Last Jedi and Rogue One second Fridays also didnt land during the normal holiday period with everyone being off work. Force Awakens second friday was Christmas Day
If everyone is off work now, the drop should be softer though.
But if you compare its Thursday to Friday, it's only around $4-5m... and that's in line with the new movies that were released.
It dropped 14% from Thursday. Meanwhile, Frozen 2, Jumanji, and Spies in Disguise rose from Thursday. The films that did have a drop were in the 2-6% drop range.
The movie is still going to make money, but the week on week drop and that Thursday to Friday drop is not painting a rosy picture for its legs.
Same and I will prob see these multiple times in the theater.
I notice you didnt specify in which region it would be, so you could technically be right next year!
THE SPICE WILL FLOW!
That's true, I forgot cause I haven't seen it, maybe I never will.
Don't care about live action remakes of the animated classic films.
Do it for JJ!!
In your tenth viewing you get the key to open a random mystery box™

Bruh, if Dune becomes a hit at the BO, I'll change my avi to the God Emperor.
I think during the prequel era it was somewhat able to stymie this due to releasing a whole bunch of cross-media shit, so if you didn't like the direction where the films were going, there was a game or book/comic or show that scratched your itch. Disney SW, by comparison, is mostly focused on the films with some cross-medium stuff, so it's not nearly as much to keep people engaged with the IP beyond the films.
Things I love or am super excited for tend to bomb at the box office.
So I am not excited for Dune.

Dune has only Uncharted, The Tomorrow War and The Last Duel as competition for roughly the same demo.
I'm optimistic that it'll do very well next year 😃

At best Uncharted will be delayed with it getting canned at worst. It hasn't entered production and not everyone works as fast as Clint Eastwood.
We said the same thing back in 2017 with BR2049 when its competition was The Mountain Between Us, Happy Death Day, Geostorm, etc. And that criminally didn't hit $100m dom :(
I also also hope Dune is great and does well at the box office though!

Potentially looking at a second weekend less than Last Jedi's. And TLJ had Christmas Eve neutering its second weekend number too.
If TROS keeps the trend there is an outside chance it makes less domestic than Rogue One.
What a world.

LOL. That RT score defense is probably the lamest one i have seen floated around here.
