| A lot can happen between now and October with the rest of casting and even possible new dieector. It’s not the first time a director is replaced even midstream—Star Wars: Solo anyone. | |

| But budget was $270m and part of that was switching directors. | |

| Budget was $275m and it only made $213m domestically. Flop. By contrast, Rogue One cost $200m and made $532 domestically. I reiterate: Hardly a stellar example of the wonders that can be worked by switching directors mid-picture. |

| there are any after-in-the-theaters venues to make money - DVDs, fios on demand, Netflix, then sold to the various cable stations. Many theatrical movie flops end up making money. Jim |

| Movie theater gross is only a portion of final tally with tv rights, dvd sales and every other way Disney sells products. Something s broadway show doesn’t enjoy nearly as much without further investment. The vanity fair article was written a week after release. Yes, it was a disappointment compared to other Star Wars movies. But it will be a money maker. I do wonder if the director wasn’t replaced with Ron Howard what a mess would have been released. And switching directors probably added to the final costs. But the point is, the sunset director could be replaced with a more seasoned movie director. |

| "Hardly a stellar example of the wonders that can be worked by switching directors mid-picture." I don't think anyone wrote anything about how wonders can be worked by changing directors mid-picture. The only point made here was that it has happened before. But if you do want an example of how wonders can be worked by changing directors mid-picture, that example is BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. |

| Singer wasn’t replaced for artistic reasons. Dexter Fletcher was brought in to film the last bit of Bohemian Rhapsody and did very little in post. John Ottman won the Oscar for editing in large part because he carried the film to the finish line, as he did with most Singer films even when he did do all the shooting. Fletcher didn’t really put his mark on the film. | |
