This doesn't respond to the question it's in reply to, and is mostly just filler information I never disagreed with.


Yes, like I said, I know why The Clone Wars was cancelled.



Solo made $213 million domestically, and the average movie ticket price in 2018 was about $9, which means about 23.5 million people saw Solo in the theater. And that's not counting international and streaming, where, according to you, it's done very well. I don't know how many people watched The Clone Wars, but if it was 23.5 million it would have been the #1 show on TV by a mile. Or to put it another way, do you think there's anyone who watched Clone Wars and didn't see Solo? And before you try to add the all the episodes together, that's not more people, it's the same people watching multiple times. Which goes to my point, TV can cater to the hardcores in a way that a movie can't. It doesn't have to cast as wide of a net.



I didn't say anyone was fretting. What I was saying was, the fact they've made their money back doesn't mean they're content to stop making theatrical Star Wars movies.



I mean, Bob Iger admitted that attendance was below expectations, but I guess if you waited in line he must be mistaken.



For you. That was a link to a post you made after TLJ came out insisting that TLJ's performance was disastrous for Disney.
IF the Boxoffice Mojo numbers are correct, today is the day where domestic box for IX fell to more than $100m less than VIII on a same-day box office count.
