OFFICIAL NEWS Star Wars: The Last Jedi Made $417M In Profit

Ep VIII was a terrible part of the saga but still a part of the saga.

I'm quite surprised that the bareer language isn't active anymore and you and friends know understand what I say.

It's a miracle.

Why are you so worried about my money ?

Just pretend the bareer language is still there. You used to when it was very convenient for you.

Are you denying my freedom of speech ? I use my time as I want, I'm working so no big deal for me.

BTW, I didn't quote you, I just answer when you're talking to me.

 

Lol. Some in-the-tank-for-Disney site magix up some numbers for the 'profit' of films, and the faithful take them on face value. I'd sooner believe AFI numbers(which are also as dumb as dumb can be) than that stuff.

Could you also post the contracts and internal financial documents that these numbers were pulled from? Anything from Disney that shows this profit? Or do we just take some bs website's word for it?

Spoiler: You Can't. They're made up numbers and guesses that have very little relevance to actual financial statements.

 

Nice little package of credits. I hope episode 9 will sure gross more.

 

Not bad. Not bad.

 

Uh dude. I didn't say it was OWNED by Disney. I said it was in-the-tank for Disney. Actually read their article that you posted. They didn't even buy Mickey a coffee first, before going to town on him. Its so up Disney's rear end, its hilarious.

You would think when you have a site detailing money(particularly with soft numbers), that it wouldn't be partisan. But not the case here, bringing everything they say into question. Remember, trust must be involved that their guesstimates are supposedly somewhat correct. If all they're doing is playing to the Mouse for future presents, that credibility becomes 0.

It just becomes another puff piece trying to spin a bad movie, just like any of the many TLJ-wasn't-really-bad articles on Yahoo.

 

There's a multitude of ways he can watch SW films without having to pay a penny/cent so, you know, he won't have to.

 

It's just irrational now.

 

LOL.

I think you'll find, as the joke holds, in reality TLJ didn't make a 'profit', because studios tend to make sure they don't(tax reasons). These are by and large fantasy numbers and guesstimates by a site that is openly favorable to Disney. And they likely have little to no relation to the actual reality. Just another fictional tale designed to spin TLJ's poor performance. I've never seen a group of people try so hard to overinflate a movies 'success'.

If I had a choice, i'd much rather fund Get Out, than TLJ.

What i'm really waiting for, though, is the star that sees one of these bs breakdowns and takes it as fact and files a lawsuit because it doesn't reflect anywhere near what they got. They get in court and Disney is like lolfanslol.. here are the real numbers!

 

@ScumAndVillany won't be happy until he finds a website that claims nobody paid a penny to see the movie, the cast and crew all committed suicide, and everyone who saw it is in serious need of Xanax.

 

If constructive additions are a prerequisite to be allowed to post here in the Cantina then most of the users would be banned.
Is it not easier for you to just hit ignore button for all you deem unworthy of posting here?

@Bandini
Freedom of speech bro!

 

Not a big deal, these are agressive negociations

 

Why not? It was a public post.
Ah well. 'Till next time

I'd like to know where they get these numbers. I've heard three very different numbers from three very different people/sources. Anywhere from over 500 million to 265 million. Frankly, Disney is desperate to cook the books and inflate their profits in order to make them look good. They've lost a lot of money in toy sales over the past couple of years and the movie didn't meet their projection. Something's amiss here.

 

How about this? You stop playing spin doctor about how many people didn't like the film? A lot of people didn't like it. You seem to have a hard time with that. You liked it? Ok, that's fine. I'm just stating three very different numbers about profits. So, which is it Disney?
