My pal works in a cinema in the uk and they had two totally empty screenings of TLJ last night. Not one person. They’re taking it out of the screen and putting jumanji in. Wonder if it’s word of mouth isn’t as good or the online thing is taking a hold?
Yet it’s at $600 million globally. So weird.

LV might be right about some of that stuff. When are you going again Joey?

History will be on TLJ's side, I think. And perhaps you'll some day be right about BvS or the Transformers, LV. The arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice
hey i bet the prequels were met with mixed responses too

Out of all them empire was the most poorly reviewed. It confused an awful lot of people. Fans and critics alike. It also didn’t have anything like the repeat custom that a new hope did.
But the Vader reveal the overall darker tone and pretty much non ending added to all that.

Haha! Weirdly it didn’t bother George at all cos he anticipated that reaction to it and once it made its money back which it did quite quickly he didn’t care.

No plans just yet. Sometime after Christmas.

There’s a perfectly watchable copy of it out there. Saving me a fortune at the cinema. Though I am going again over Christmas. Probably a couple of times.
