Rise of Skywalker: How Does It Stack Up? | Charting with Dan!

[@piro28]

Dan: “No big Disney live-action adaptations on the horizon” Mulan: “Am I a joke to you?”

[@pettespizzaparlor3245]

Not an adaptation. This looks like an actual real plot-movie! (fingers are so crossed)

[@LaurenTheorist]

Yeah, it's actually based more on the original story. I'm looking forward to it

[@eh503]

Yes.. It is

[@siddhantbanerjee3328]

A butt in 1999 may still be a butt in 2019, but chances are there was a least a little inflation. :P

[@Thermalions]

Agreed, the average butt is worth (weighs) more in 2019.

[@twincast2005]

Also, there are now more butts than there were 20 years ago, so one 1999 butt represented a higher percentage of the potential audience than one 2019 butt did.

For a Star Wars finale it should not be doing Rouge One numbers. It should be hitting Avengers 1 numbers at least. $1B for Star Wars is disappointing.

[@rhisands2063]

@@SeriousStriker It isn't really a Star Wars finale. Rian aborted the trilogy and tried to restart it with TLJ, which has really hurt the property. This is essentially either part two of Rian's or part two if JJ's. If it is to be a finale then there needed to be another movie of either of theirs sequences. Rian really screwed the pooch with his timing and insistence on using his story in the middle of an already started trilogy. He should have waited until Episode X to do his thing.

This movie likely hitting $1.1-1.2billion and still being labelled a box office disappointment is all the proof you need that people's expectations for this franchise are absolutely ridiculous.

[@neilhutchinson4545]

Finally managed to see Knives Out, and I loved it. While I'll agree that Daniel Craig (thanks for the correct pronunciation again, Dan) was very good, I would like to also praise the superb acting from Ana De Armas, because her character carries a lot of the movie. Loved the Agatha Christie 'Poirot' mention by Lon, as I too felt that this film owes a lot to her storytelling style.

[@beccadotelpy]

It totally does. Her novel, Crooked House has a lot of similarity to Knives Out.

[@septesix]

Honestly, North American audience needs to understand, "Animation" is a FORMAT, not a genre. The prejudice and general disrespect for the animated format is mind-boggling.

[@Zintag]

Someone's triggered

[@rhisands2063]

As long as the audience doesn't then it will be a genre, and that is what the studios will lean into. The legacy of Loony Tunes and Disney has permanently genrefied animation.

[@swanpride]

Well...it is both....it is a format, but there are also specific tropes which are connected with the format. But I understand what you are getting at. There is a huge difference between the typical Disney movie and something like Perfect Blue, which might be animated, but is more a psychothriller than anything else.

[@septesix]

I understand how we get to this state today. I'm just disappointed. There are many stories that can be told in an animation format, but because of these deeply held "genre-conventions", American/Hollywood animation may never reach the same kind of creativity peak that Japanese Anime has. And that is a shame, because I do also believe that there are stories that only American, and not the Japaneses, would tell. I just want another South Park movie, but maybe a bit more dramatic oriented...

[@piro28]

“My pen just fell apart” me watching The Grudge.

[@RonnieBarzel]

I think the performance of the recent "Star Wars" movies just shows that the property is no longer the biggest brand in the world, let alone the biggest brand Disney owns. (That would be the MCU.)

[@Christian-vq3lr]

Ronnie Barzel I got in an hour long argument with someone over this. They would not admit that Marvel was more popular, despite having the highest grossing movie. After TROS, I hope that they finally understand where I was coming from.

[@LaurenTheorist]

I agree with both of you. Marvel is currently doing way better than Star Wars and I think they have a good plan going forward.

[@budthecyborg4575]

Pokemon and Hello Kitty are the biggest worldwide brands. Each is worth more than all of Disney so they can't even hope to touch those IPs.

[@SirDupree]

I think this is Disney reading too much into the Star Wars Fandom bubble and Solo's box office. Most people I know was excited for the movie and loved it.

[@aislingyngaio]

Everything's relative. Star Wars isn't an indie movie given a small budget and expected to make peanuts. It's built as a franchise blockbuster and given the budget to do it.

[@SirDupree]

@The Kid from Ironman 3 2 billion is still a barely attainable goal. There are only 5 movies who have made 2 billion. It is rare. The Rise of Skywalker is easily making over 1 billion dollars. IMO, Disney is leaving money on the table by not continuing the Skywalker saga and should have milked the cow until it was dry. Their only "failure" was Solo, and that was the only movie not directly related to the Skywalker story.

[@SimonBuchanNz]

@@UNFITTED1 movies stay in theatres for as long as they are making money (and the contract with the studio requires), and are more often about 30 days. Star Wars is going to be out longer than that, to be sure, but the majority of the money is earned in the first few weeks, so it's not going to hit $2B, for example. Yes, ROS is a financially successful film, the issue is that it's not as successful as it seems like it should be, which means everyone's trying to figure out why: is it poor critical reviews, negative audience reaction to TLJ or Solo carrying over, oversaturation, marketing, etc. Saying it's doing well is correct, but missing the point: it's not doing as well as it "should", ie. as predicted. Also, no need for name calling.

Awesome! Thanks! 🙏 1) So, so glad y’all took the time off, but, boy, am I happy to have my Charting back! 2) I’m of that rare, special breed who actually thoroughly enjoyed Cats. I got a gift card, rolled the dice and saw it opening day before the fixes. As a long music video with surreal imagery, it’s fun if you like that sort of thing. Next time I imagine I’ll watch with a glass of moscato on hand, however. Not gonna lie. 3) Star Wars will be fine. They just need to explore other stuff. We can discover what Rey’s legacy is in 15 years when the kids growing up with her have matured and desire a follow up. I really enjoyed TROS, but that was largely due to some incredibly charming acting. All the best in 2020!

I kinda disagree I don't think audiences grew out/got tired of of the SW movies, all the pieces were there after TLJ to create this great final chapter that could have been a hit, but they took a left turn in rewrites and ended up with a meh movies that disrupts the cohesive narrative of the trilogy respectfully maybe that's what you guys were saying

[@Christian-vq3lr]

Arceus Lord of Creation they really didn’t get into it (to prevent negative reactions, probably), so their thoughts could go either way

[@KellicTiger]

"all the pieces were there after TLJ" What are you talking about? TLJ basically wrapped up all the setups of TFA leaving no where to go except doing another Return of the Jedi. The entire movie either threw out plot ideas, killed them off, or simply ignored them. This is why RoS was just a disjointed mess. New ideas had to be built from the ground up to make a movie. Instead of Snoke you had to bring back Palps. Nothing was done with Finn and there was too much to do in this last film to really build his character up. Ditto with Po. Honestly I would have love to have seen what Johnson would have done with a 3rd film as really the only focus you could have done was on the First Order, but as a wrap-up to the trilogy you need a single big bad guy as the point person to defeat. It could have been Ben, it should have been both or Rey. Johnson blew a cannonball sized hole through the setup that JJ did in TFA that I really have a hard time seeing anything that wouldn't be disjointed. The best I've seen is somewhat of a combination of the Fanscription idea. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqWzmIZnoZiFrtE

Not saying Fisher’s passing didn’t impact the film but I don’t think it affected it that much. The film that benefitted from the mourning of fans was Last Jedi. That filmed came out after her passing and she was in the film. Just my 2-cents. Great job as always.
