paperheart Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Distribution sources always say that people don’t begin to go to the movies until after Christmas, however, Disney’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is the exception to that rule (and possible even Jumanji: The Next Level with a $30M+ start, maybe more). Skywalker is still looking at a $200M+ debut, though some firms are playing it safe and calling it lower at $175M when it opens on Dec. 20. a $175MM open and TLJ-like 2.8x multiple, gets you to $500MMish US.

zhamlau Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) A producer for Tron Legacy (among a host of other films and shows) is giving a class at Columbia about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The class is specifically about how to avoid writing a terrible screenplay like TLJ. It apparently explains all of its failings as a screenplay like being emotional dead and completely disjointed. Found that sort of funny considering how many people swear this piece of poo is some great addition to the series. https://d-rezzed.clownfishtv.com/video/the-last-jedi-used-to-teach-bad-screenwriting-in-colleges/ Edited December 6, 2019 by zhamlau theCapraAegagrus, bentbryan, Catwomancomics and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally's Comics Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 In all honesty though - I feel out of the last 20 years the largest missing ingredient in SW films have been Lucas' Ex-wife... She took Star Wars from being just a special effects bonanza to something great! SkOw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke as a Joke Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Good article at the Wall Street Journal about the dysfunction that has clearly been going on at Disney regarding the Sequel Trilogy. Supports all of us that said from the beginning that they had no clear plan. Comics4All, bentbryan and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhamlau Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Why am I getting spammed with stories about Daisy Ridley not “acknowledging her privilege”?
