Actually, Last Jedi DID bomb at the box office, bombed big enough that China was repulsed by it (and believe me, considering Hollywood considers China to be more valuable in terms of marketshare than even its own country of America, that’s saying something), and apparently did very badly enough that JJ Abrams apparently decided to just insinuate that the audience was “afraid of women”, do the exact same crap that the 2016 Ghostbusters Remake stars tried to do. https://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/02/18/j-j-abrams-last-jedi-critics-felt-threatened-women/
And don’t get me started on how Star Wars Resistance was outright hated by most people, getting a LOT of downvotes for its teaser on YouTube alone. Or, for that matter, the bomb that was A Wrinkle in Time. And having ABC basically tie with the CW when originally it competed with CBS and NBC, to say little about FOX, isn’t what I would call a success, especially not when that was single-handedly caused by “When We Rise”, a far-left gay propaganda schlockumentary. Or, heck, how people reacted to Roseanne being cancelled, or how people reacted to ESPN basically not firing Jemele Hill.
Okay, but what about Incredibles 2, Black Panther, Infinity War, etc? Those were huge cash cows in 2018. This year, they’ve got Toy Story 4, Captain Marvel, live action Aladdin & Lion King, Frozen 2. Even if the next Star Wars is a miss, it’ll hardly affect the bottom line when they’re churning out so many other franchise flicks that the public seems to want.
And SOLO just showed up on Netflix...
So I finally watched it. It sucked. Majorly.
It was like a remake of 20,000 Leagues under the sea.
