People should worry about Fad Wars declining 50% in just a year. I see diminishing returns for Disney even when they play it 100% safe.

They wasted all that money on promotion and on Lawrence and Pratt

only to come second to singing animated animals

Passengers looked stupid anyway

I've been following box office for ten years so don't @ me.

The Martian opened on Friday, in October, with great reviews. This is Wednesday release just before Christmas when adults who this movie is targeted at (especially women) are getting ready for holidays. Next!

J-Fad experienced an underperformance, it's normal
However, when your entire career is an underperformance (see:Amy Adams) that's when it's time to start worrying

What a privileged perspective. 90% of rich people are born into rich families. The only difference between that rich person and the poor person is that the rich person had luck in his or her favor and fate put him or her in a rich family. I don't know about you but i don't usually pride myself on the randomess of life and therefore see it as my duty to help those who weren't as fortunate as I was become as such.

You know, logic and stuff.

I'm sorry life made you develop that logic.

Christina Aguilera sucks. Britney is better. There's a reason why no one cared about Xtinct at the 2003 VMAs and there's also a reason why Xtinct always had to use Britney's name to stay in the spotlight.

You think the government in Africa and India can feed the thousands of people who die of hunger every year?

There are people with money. They should always help.

The governments there are super corrupt. They steal charity money all of the time.

I fully support dragging this new Disney Star Wars and their plot recycling but Rogue One is a spin off, it was always going to drop hugely. The real test will be Episode VIII. But since Leia wielding a lightsaber -you heard it here first! 100% this is happening- will be the hook of the promo campaign, it'll be another enormous success.

Basically. At this point the worst enemy of poor third world citizens are their own governments and local elites.

No wonder they were pandering to Eastern Asians during their massive promotional campaign

They knew Americans were not going to see this crap

I am extremely aware but 4.1m is not an encouraging start. I do agree things could turn around, but this was supposed to be a MAJOR holiday release. Benjamin Button opened on a Thursday (it was Christmas Day but still) and delivered 11m, that adjusts to like 14m today. What makes the situation more dire than it would have been is that it has mixed word of mouth. And there's two other female-led sci-fi films in the marketplace with much better reviews and audience reactions.

It's not looking good and any box office analyst worth their salt knows it's true. It's time to stop the perfect delusion.
