Movies Make at Least 50% of Their Total Gross in the First Two Weeks

*Updated due to percentage error!*


Here is an explanation of the numbers and how I came up with my conclusions! Yay math! (Video Posted Underneath!)


1. Force Awakens made 52.5% of it's total gross in the first two weeks worldwide


2. Rogue One made 49.6% of it's gross in the first two weeks


3. The Last Jedi made 67.8% in it's first 2 weeks domestic and first 3 weeks global (opened a week early abroad) but 56.2% when adjusted for time frame


4. Solo made $147,510,761 million worldwide in its opening weekend 


5. With a 40% drop...(generous) it would make $88,506,456 next weekend...worldwide


6. If you give 20 million to Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday worldwide each...which is generous that means the total gross after weekend 2 will be $296,5017,217...if we assume that results in 50% of the take (which again is fair) then the total of this film by the end will be $562,0532,282...which results in roughly $349,320,230 (at 60%) in actual profit and a minimum loss (if cost is $500 million) of $150,679,769


Avg % of all Star Wars = range of $471 million to $505 million (when accounting for the first two weeks!


As a comparison: 

Ready Player: 68%

Hail Caesar: 52%

Jurassic World: 59%

Deadpool: 63%

Wonder Woman: 61%

Geostorm: 81%

Black Panther: 55%

John Campea and Language: A Star Wars Story

In this episode I discuss a recent tweet by John Campea implying that critics of the new direction of Star Wars are a bunch of racists, sexists, and homophobes (and how Solo continues to crash and burn before it has even opened). Language and how we use it in today's world are so damn important. Hopefully he either retracts or clarifies his comments as he is not the only one who has said such things.

In this episode I talk about the recent early reviews for Solo: A Star Wars Story and what they mean for the future success or failure of the film and the franchise as well. I also discuss the various criticisms that have been levied against fans who do not like the direction of the current franchise under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy. Huge shout out to the Geeks and Gamers Channel (especially Jeremy) for inspiring me to begin to venture into the world of Youtube!
