"The Mandalorian and Grogu" Has The Lowest Disney Box Office Ever

Article: ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ is Disney’s lowest-ever Star Wars film opening - CNBC

Review List: The Mandalorian and Grogu - Rotten Tomatoes

"The Mandalorian and Grogu" has the lowest-ever box office for a Disney-released "Star Wars" film. Disney’s “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu” racked up an estimated $82 million in domestic ticket sales through its first three days in theaters.

2018′s “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” which at $84 million was the previous lowest-opening "Star Wars" film for Disney. The Production Budget was $166.4M and the Promotional Budget was $120M+. That means that the film needs to make $445-600 million in worldwide box office to break even.

"The Mandalorian and Grogu" is out in theaters now.

New clip from "The Rise of Skywalker." Just 30 seconds of an action sequence, no spoilers.

The key thing for me: The first listen to John Williams' score, which is, by far, the main reason I will go see it.

Disney's "Star Wars" Are Fan Fiction

Today, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" has been released on video. So, today I wanted to state my case regarding these new movies:

These Disney "Star Wars" movies are Fan Fiction. They are not "canon." George Lucas was completely involved with every aspect of the previous six "Star Wars" movies. Here, he has zero involvement. So, I consider them no different than if someone was just posting blog entries with their story ideas.

Fans really need to just divorce themselves from the thought that these new movies are "official" in any way. They are products of a business transaction. It's the same as Hostess, which was bought out by other people. And, the snacks, even though they have the same name and packaging, don't taste anywhere near as good as they used to. Disney just bought the ability to put "Star Wars" on whatever they wanted, and they have.

We can now see what an incredibly terrible decision that George Lucas made by selling all of Lucasfilm to Disney with zero conditions. Since Michael Eisner, Disney has been purely focused on profit, not creativity. Their only focus is to take a property and squeeze every dime out of it. That is what they are doing with "Star Wars." It is deeply unfortunate what has happened.

But, "Star Wars" fans have to make it known that they don't accept what Disney has done as "canon," "official," or whatever. Because it isn't. A deal was made, contracts were signed, product was produced. That isn't creativity, it's just business.

First reviews are out for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."

Since I avoided the final trailer, and am avoiding all TV spots and anything that could be spoilery, I will leave it to you to decide whether to read any of the reviews. But, you could always just bookmark this post and read the reviews after you've seen the movie. :-)

"Star Wars: The Last Jedi." has an early premiere at 7 p.m. on Thursday, then goes into regular release on Friday.

"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" First Reactions

Article: 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' - First Reactions from the Premiere - Hollywood Reporter

Article: ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ First Reactions: ‘Jam-Packed,’ ‘Exciting’ - Variety



Disney held the premiere of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" on Saturday night in Los Angeles. And, like for "Force Awakens," celebrities and media folks were invited.

Their reactions were glowing. I'm not surprised, because, if you are being invited by Disney to an exclusive premiere of one of the largest releases of the decade, honestly, what else are you going to say? Many of us will have seen for ourselves by this time next week.

The review embargo ends at 9 a.m. Tuesday. So, first media reviews will be out then. That's earlier than I thought. Of course, I'm still not going to read a single one of them, since I see the movie at 7 p.m. on Thursday. :-)

A new cardboard display being used in theaters shows two Lukes: One light side, one dark side.

Since the movie is so close to coming out, I skipped watching the new trailer. But, my guess is that Disney is teasing us with a potential Dark Side Luke. :-)

Trevorrow Out as Star Wars Director

Article: Why Do 'Star Wars' Films Keep Losing Directors? - Hollywood Reporter



Colin Trevorrow is out as director of "Star Wars: Episode IX."

It is being called a "mutual decision." But, time will tell what the real story is. No replacement named as of yet.

This marks the third shake-up in the director's chair for a Disney-released "Star Wars" movie. "Rogue One" saw Gareth Edwards put to the side when Tony Gilroy took over reshoots and final edit. And, the Han Solo film saw its directors let go, with Ron Howard replacing them.
