Me and jye posting gifs of Luke pretending to brush dust off his shoulder 30 years from now:

crows reacting:

you need to free us both me and jye

 

[RIDDICK]

What I see when someone's tryin' to defend this movie or "make fun" of people who didn't like it:

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I come back and I see nothing but dudes talking about guy's *****.

It's all about the tongue boys.

It’s funny that all 5 points apply to TFA/TLJ. They pretty much apply to everything JJ does anyway

I'm laughing at the box office plunge in China.

Who knew Han Chinese were almost all Alt-Right miscreants, living in their mom's basement, sustained only by Cheetos and their fear of Strong Female Characters, and taking their cues on politics and pop culture from the likes of 4chan and this thread full of haters.

And cue... in 3...2....1....

The historic disaster that is TLJ's box office continues this weekend as it passes $591 million domestic and officially becomes the highest grossing 2017 film worldwide (1.264 billion over BatB's 1.263.)

Disney execs are reportedly panicking at the thought of TLJ becoming the sixth film in history to top $600 million domestic over the next few days.

"Because that's the litmus test as to whether a movie is a financial success or not" said no studio head ever.

Khev did you hear!

After the PT cinematic masterpieces that were embraced the world over, especially AOTC, some lady that Lucas never met named Kennedy stole SW from under Lucas’s nose and she is now making new SW movies with Lucas never legally agreeing to allow this complete stranger control over his creation.

Can you believe that crap!

Can you please sign my petition Khev I want to give Lucas back what rightfully belongs to him.

We need to immediately return to the greatness that was the PT!

We can do this Khev.

Sigh. Those of you who voice this opinion simply don't understand how investors analyze economic performance.

It's not merely being profitable, it's matching investors expectations on what you should earn.

Grossing $7-800 million dollars less than TFA is not a sign of success in relative terms.

won't happen. will settle at ~$1.35B or $750M below TFA. Keep in mind opening box office was only -8% behind TFA but will end -35% below TFA. People just quoting gross sales aren't looking at the dynamics (cause it undermines their talking points). Per the numbers, the anticipation was very high for TLJ but repeat viewings plummeted due to fan disappointment.

For folks saying otherwise they are ignoring the dynamics of the drop off, otherwise this would've opened -30% vs TFA and basically followed at -30% to -35% trend line. For it to plummet from opening -8% delta and close at -35% total tells you the drop off was massive, >50% after the initial hype. \

I finally figured it out.

This isn't the real Jye posting, this is Jye's sister that works for Disney or whatever. The real Jye hated TLJ, just like he hated TFA. Right now he's bound and gagged without Internet or Battlefront privileges in his closet because his sis knows any negative posts or quality memes from him would be detrimental in determining the outcome of this war. She can't have that or Kennedy will ****ing kill her in her sleep.

We need to get him back.

Not to mention, three movies out and all that merchandise later and they still haven't profited from their little 4 billion investment.


All those die cast metal Disney toys . . .

You are a vicious bastard jye i’m glad you’re dead.

$700 million less than a previous film that made $710 million? Disaster. $700 million less than a movie that earned over 2 billion? Roaring success.

No way in hell did Disney expect 2 billion to be the minimum earnings with each new entry.

opportunity cost is a difficult concept for many to grasp. If something should be worth $2 but only sells for $1 (even if it cost you 40 cents) it is a failure...

and we haven't even accounted for the future lost revenues when the box office take for Solo and Ep 9 come well below what Disney exec were expecting for Lucasfilm revenue projections before TLJ.

But I understand this way of thinking (analysis) isn't intuitive for everyone. I do portfolio analysis as part of my day job (I run a biotech start up and regularly pitch VC's), It's not an easy concept to grasp unless you're used to doing complex financial analysis.

TLJ might have made a lot of money but Solo and Episode 9 are going to take a major hit from the backlash of this film
