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. |
