I didn’t go. Went to Infinity War Friday instead. Until something drastic changes, I won’t turn loose of any money to watch a Star Wars movie. And up until this one, I’ve seen them all at the theater during their initial release.

You're a moron.

The opening weekend box office is the point...

Sucks to be you, because this was one of the better ones they've made.

the film was fine. but it really shows how far the franchise has fallen if we are celebrating it as one of the better ones.

I think you're overstating how good the originals are.

You can't help but fall on your face. I said point, not discussion.

Here you go, pulled directly from that exchange:

It'll clean house when the Special Edition is released.

Not at all. Except another contradiction:

You pulled the same BS earlier in the thread

Baited you into that one.

Wrong. Follow that exchange back and you'll see that May totals were brought up.

Uh. YOU brought up May totals. And that’s when I said it was a pointless datapoint (which backfired on you since May is above a billion yet again) because we were discussing opening weekends. Hence your reply with the thread title. I don’t know why I have to recap this for you.

Nah, just making a statement with my wallet. That’s about all Hollywood understands. And not seeing a movie until a TV release is really a 1st world problem. Not really much of a sacrifice on my part.

Exactly the same


Same here. You can’t make a proper Solo in the PC world that is Disney. That and how bad TLJ were will not allow me to give Disney money to support what Star Wars has become.

Someone else brought up the month of May, and you jumped into the discussion with your own tangent, just like you're doing now. I shouldn't have to explain that.

My own tangent? It was opening weekend and the numbers were released. We were all discussing the opening weekend fail and you made the dumb comment that Disney’s biggest mistake was releasing in May rather than December (wrong) and that it would have reached the Opening Weekend projections in that month (wrong).

All about opening weekend. That’s all the info we had at the time. Then you bring up the monthly May totals as of that meant anything to an opening weekend (it doesn’t). I asked what that had to do with our discussion and you quoted the thread title like an idiot (you are).

Yay for more recaps. Serious question: are you female?
