That’s not really evidence. Nothing in that article indicates that Knives Out 2 is his next film.More evidence Rians trilogy is not happening.

Does anyone really still believe that Rian will do a star wars trilogy at this point? If anyone was looking forward to it, I do feel bad. I'm not saying it to bash on Johnson either. If Kennedy had any real command of star wars, Rian would have never worked on a saga film. What she should have had him do was a stand alone new story. That way he could have started his own mythos. Gone in his own direction. Created characters the way he wanted. The sequel trilogy wasn't the right place to change direction.More evidence Rians trilogy is not happening.

Obviously you don't see that what you posted is not evidence at all.

I think it's more like how many people were looking forward to the Skywalker saga.Amazing how many fans Last Jedi won back after Rogue One.

Wow...everyone who thinks rian Johnson will ever be let into a room at LFL again looks beyond clueless...I weep for you.
As far as the thud goes...it was predictable - but not expected. Everything happening is understandable. The real life narrative of what has happened with Star Wars will be talked about for along time...
Mikejs78...I would feel bad for you...but you were so damn arrogant from December 20-29 on this thread I think it’s better we Bronze the thread and preserve it in a museum as a cautionary tale for children. It makes that Katiebug lady look “composed” in retrospect.
Want to hear the honest truth: good thing they released this when Christmas and New Years was on a Wednesday...because it only has what it has because the majority of the western world had many days off in the intial 2 weeks...
Without that...even in the summer...you could be looking at 30% lower total and this thing barely covering its production and marketing budget. And marketing was huge...3 month relentless push on all outlets.
I can’t quite figure out how to even encapsulate this...I thought it’d do $1.5 bil...even if it wasn’t good...I really did

It will be really interesting to see what the take was yesterday...
How hard did it flatline?
Total take is going to be $1.1 as the best case scenario...’maybe

If I were...I imagine it would feel similar to being proven brutally wrong In the “court of public money” (Disney’s court) for over two years defending the KK lead mangling of lucrative IP while being told by the more wise (on this topic) that this has smelled bad since damn near the start?
Or not

I'm with you. I said from the beginning that anything under Last Jedi would convince me that there was some damage to the Star Wars franchise from the Last Jedi when you combine with all other evidence (again, I don't care if you think it's the greatest artistic movie of a generation, that doesn't matter in financial terms). I honestly didn't think the damage was as great as some and thought it would be $1.6 or so. The fact that it is a very real possibility this movie will not be a top 5 movie of 2019 (and pretty much guaranteed to not make the top 3) is just mind blowing to me.

whats insane is this:
so the current tally is $927 mil total worldwide gross....
the ticket sales have fallen off as any movie does after 3 weeks...but this one lost steam much quicker than anyone would have guessed for a star wars...
so it will start pulling in $1-$2.5 domestically on week days and if you follow suite - $15-18 total this coming weekend and $8-10 next. Then its officially done.
International is tougher...but it MORE weak than the domestic gross...and that's even more true than the typical star wars effect.
So break it down this way:
week of 1/6/20-1/13/20 - Total domestic of $25,000,0000 international $15,000,000
that's $ 970,000,000 total
week of 1/14/20 - 1/21/20 - total domestic of $18,000,000 international $8,000,000
that's $ 996,000,000
This will cross $1 billion....against a production budget and marketing cost that COMMON SENSE would put somewhere at the $750 mil range...
ummm...that's not good. I don't think catching rogue one is possible.
what am i missing?

That it would need another $60 million to catch Aladdin for 8th place in 2019 (which is behind a rated R movie)? And nearly $200 million to get to the top 5 and knock Captain Marvel out.
Honestly, I haven't run any sort of analysis on my own to try to prove or disprove what you are saying, but if your estimates are even close to correct, it's not getting close to the top 5 movies. For the final Star Wars movie.

The more I think about this trilogy the more sad I get. It had such potential but thanks to not having a good leader like Kevin Fiege or map out a plan the trilogy fell apart. I still enjoy the force awakens and the rise of skywalker but they feel like such wasted potential. I hope Lucasfilm is learning from it's mistakes. Put Dave Filioni and Jon Faverau in charge!
