@SportsBuckaroo@TatooineSons Rian Johnson actually knew this during filming. He didn’t forget but knew it would take away the money. Movies aren’t supposed to be series of logical plot points as much as they are made to evoke a feeling.
@author_gray@ValliantRenegad It’s true because this isn’t a typical movie, the brand deals, theme park money and merch more than made up for the marketing budget. It did fine. Not as great as Disney wanted but fine.
@ValliantRenegad You’re dead wrong on the loss. The 165 production budget was made. The marketing budget was made back already with merch, theme park sales and brand deals not to mention even the 165m was inflated as a majority of that budget was going to be used for the show. forced hate.
It was 47 years today that Luke, Leia, Han, Threepio, Chewbacca & Lando were filming for Empire, based on this call sheet from @propstore_com and had @MarkHamill sign it at Celebration Orlando in 2017!

@CrypticTano@Mando3Updates This is why Disney has never used the traditional “double the budget to include marketing spend” when determining if a movie is a bomb or not. They make much, much more in merchandising. They had a deal with major companies too this time like fortnite and Burger King.
@the_swap_shop1@SockoPsycho@ValliantRenegad You’re simply wrong. That’s all. Just wrong. The industry has shifted… toys have moved from Walmart to Disney parks, from first run video games to fortnite skins, from major movie releases to repeat streaming views. I’m an OG fan. I haven’t gone anywhere.
