Yeah, and Return of the Jedi made less than Empire. I don't think that means much. It is not pacing too far behind TLJ - I am pretty sure financially it is just fine.
Return if the Jedi made more although I don’t think it was a tremendous difference. The prior trilogies had the same pattern as the first movie making the most, followed by the final movie with the second taking in the least amount of money.
As good as the box office has been, most articles have been saying the performance has been a disappointment or neutral for Disney so I can see why JJ is getting defensive. This is also one of the worst reviewed movies out of all of the Star Wars films which also might sting.
