Fortune reported that Ford stands to make more than $34 million for his return as Han Solo...hmmm - about 50 times what the little people in the film made - no doubt we'll soon be hearing cries of outrage and anguish from the likes of Bernie and Hillary who are dedicated to saving the middle class from the rape and greed of Wall Street and their overpaid and pampered private enterprise bosses......

"He’s not looking too good himself these days. Horrible in fact."

I don't think he looked bad at all. He looked better than his age (71 or 72)? He looked fit and trim. And he certainly looked light years better than the frumpy/overweight Carie Fischer.

There will be no gross profits. Hollywood accounting will erase all!!

Wiki: According to Lucasfilm, Return of the Jedi, despite having earned $475 million at the box office against a budget of $32.5 million, “has never gone into profit”.

How Hollywood Accounting Can Make a $450 Million Movie ‘Unprofitable’
Erase any possible profit, the studio charges this “movie corporation” a big fee that overshadows the film’s revenue. For accounting purposes, the movie is a money “loser” and there are no profits to distribute.

Nice work if you can get it.

“That would be net profits. Gross is a percentage of the gross revenue, net is after expenses,”

Gross is AFTER expenses ....

“Gross profit is the profit a company makes after deducting the costs associated with making and selling its products, or the costs associated with providing its services.”

Hubby and I saw it yesterday. Both of us thought it was as stinker. 2 stars at best. Same old formula, similar plot, similar humor. Ford just too old looking he should have had some work done. If he was the father of a 20 something he should not have looked so old. Looked more like his grandfather. He really moved like an old guy in some of those fight scenes and they never bothered to get his hair to match from scene to scene. The new actors were pretty good.

I agree with you, though I’ll go 2.5 stars just for the fun my sons and I had with all the references. The “parsecs mistake” was great, if you know what I am referring to. (Trying not to spoil)

That move can’t be spoiled IMO. Also thought cheap rip off of LOTR (Gandalf) when Solo falls down the chasm, you know he’ll be back. And the female star, she was a good actress, kept reminding me of using the popularity of hunger games, female warrior hero and all that. Glad you and your sons had fun.

"Fisher, according to the Daily Mail, was paid some $1.5 million to return as Princess Leia, while Hamill's salary has not yet been made public."

I'll say what those attached to the movie can't - Ford gets so much more because he's the only decent (not great) actor of the three. As evidenced by his career outside of Star Wars.

she failed to secure royalties from the use of Princess Leia's likeness.

Hamill was in the film for less than a minute and had no lines. Whatever he was paid, it was probably too much.

True, but the scene strongly suggests that Hamill will return in the next movie.

So in other words Ford cost about 8% of the opening weekend gross. If this move’s gross hits 10 figures like they’re expecting then that’ll seem like petty cash.

I’m betting that the character Rey turns out to be Luke’s daughter.

Re: How much did the gay robot make?

Gadzooks! Just because his left arm was red... doesn't make him a Bi-bot!

Now, if you are all "Red"... that's a different story--

Oh pshaw, Bendy! That's an old... Dragbot tale!

Then again... maybe not--

Master Luke, please! I'm not gay... Data is just so damned cute!

No problem, C3P0. Leia and I... are wishing we were on "Game of Thrones"

Well, then, if that was true... 35 years ago--

Ben would be your brat, Luke... and I'd still be flying the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca!
