It'll make a billion at the box office and hundreds of millions more with the Blu Ray and Digital releases, not to mention the millions of people that sign up for one month of Disney Plus because they missed it in the theater.
It's nearly impossible for sequels to earn more money at the box office than the original film. It would be foolish for any studio exec to expect that Matrix 4, Avatar 2, 3 & 4, etc. will out perform its predecessors (although Matrix 4 has the best opportunity in this scenario because the original was released in 1999).
RoS won't likely top TLJ but that doesn't make it "Loser" in the eyes of the studio and regardless of what the internet thinks, topping $1 Billion at the box office is amazing and somewhat rare, even when factoring in today's inflation.
