The-Numbers.com TLJ vs TFA sales of DVD-Bluray #s $45M v. $119.3M for first 3 week... a 37% of TFA sales as reported. Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 06, 20:32

Wow would love too see how now these last Jedi lovers are going to defend this !! bunty_ketti Jun 06, 20:47

because those numbers arent remotely accurate. They are estimates. Moviesnob Jun 06, 20:51

Can you supply us with accurate # for all 3 movies to compare? {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 06, 21:16

I can tell you whats non proprietary - hard good sales are down 25% since Force Awakens came out. Moviesnob Jun 06, 21:26

So are you saying Walwart clearanced TFA? Still downward regardless. It'd be nice if disclosed easier, publicly. Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 06, 22:17

Box office is the only sales stat that's public. I've looked for others and it's all very closely held, so much so that I'm surprised MattW Jun 06, 22:52

To what -- other than bigotry and backwardness among disaffected, can't-keep-up yahoos -- do you ascribe these numbers? Thanks {nm} DTXbro Jun 06, 22:19

Simple... Disney didn't produce what the FANS wanted! Disney destroyed the OT, destroyed the legacy of Luke, Leia, Han, Lando etc. Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 06, 23:32

TFA made $2B worldwide and is the biggest film in US Box office history. But fans hated it, sure. {nm} numbersix_99 Jun 07, 01:14

Fans had hope then, LusacFilms hadn't gone full throated attacking fans. TLJ made TFA worse and wrecked the it all {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 07, 09:36

The fans who have revised their feeling on TFA are by far a massive minority. Where is the evidence? {nm} numbersix_99 Jun 07, 12:47

TFA and TLJ might be flawed and divisive, but they are still superior to the boring, unnesscary, mundane prequel trilogy. {nm} bennyg1985 Jun 07, 05:43

The entitled view of "manbabies" pretty well characterized by that BMD article. Antibody Jun 07, 09:47

Disaffected, belligerent, stale-thinking, marginalized wingnuts are among my favorite wingnuts {nm} DTXbro Jun 07, 11:09

Empire did less business than Star Wars, Clones less than Menace. I sense a trend. {nm} soupcam Jun 07, 08:18

Here is one more TLJ number for you: 5,000 (approximate). bennyg1985 Jun 07, 05:39

Don't waste your time, these people have people brainwashed, they are defending the undefendable. {nm} Filmstardust Jun 07, 07:31

Please explain how my response is an indication of being brainwashed. He asked me a question and I answered it. {nm} Moviesnob Jun 07, 07:48

Thanks MovieSnob your responses were informative, some others are zealous denials of the state of SW. {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 07, 09:02

No, you ignored my responses which discredit your theories. To be clear, there's no data that I've seen that proves a theory that SW has Moviesnob Jun 07, 09:08

Solo Box Office, TLJ Box Office, polls on SW forums, toy , merch and video game sale declines all are evidence Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 07, 10:01

TLJ box office? 1.3B worldwide, 11th biggest film of all time (unadjusted). Yes it made less, but it's a sequel, which tend to drop. {nm} numbersix_99 Jun 07, 12:49

TLK largest sequel drop ever $700M. Solo currently at 273M and 492 worldwide all time. Solo will come in 900M less than TLJ {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 07, 17:42

Does this include online retailers? Amazon didn't start selling TLJ until approx. 3-4 weeks after its street date {nm} mantleclinic Jun 07, 08:35
