I really liked The Last Jedi but it's really losing steam quickly at the box office. Every weekday has been only half of what The Force Awakens grossed and there is the very real possibility that it struggles to even match Rogue One's domestic gross.
I don't think that they are at $537 million globally has them too worried. I also don't think they were ever expecting it to do TFA's numbers in the US.
Rogue one was doing $17 million a day on the weekdays following release - this movie is doing $22 million a day. Outpacing Rogue One by about $60 million as of right now, and still a little ahead of it. Pretty surprising if they don't hit $500 million domestic, and $1 billion global.
I do wonder why they are bothering to have The Han Solo movie open in May. There's so much more competition during the summer. Part of the reason these movies have been killing at the box office is they have practicailly no competition. I mean, what's the next biggest thing this christmas - Jumanji?
