@ZIMdoom: ok, looks like somebody needs help understanding things. Instead of spouting off vitriol at people, you could try listening to what people are trying to say.

There are no contradictions in their opinions. If there are, then Luke Skywalker is the biggest contradiction of them all.

He is the son of the most powerful jedi of that time, but yet it took 3 movies, and several years of training to get to the same level of jedi skill that took Rey 30 mins. Who had no training.

Luke learned from yoda, a jedi master, and still got his butt kicked. Rey, who had never even touched a lightsaber, defeats a sith lord who has been traing for years, and who himself was taught by Luke.

That is a Mary Sue. Just because we expected her to be the daughter of someone force related, doesnt mean she can just ignore basic training. It means when she has trained, she will become more powerful.

Not before.

@bigdavex: It's only stupid because it doesn't fit your narrative.

Both figures have beem done by an independant company that specializes in ticket predictions.

The same media outlets that are shouting about this, did the same before. Its all there for anybody to see as it was only a few weeks ago.

They were more than happy to accept those predictions. But now you say they were stupid.

Ok , I have to say something here. The way these ticket sale predictions have been twisted to make it look positive is flabbergasting.

It was only a month ago that the media were reporting predictions of between 140 - 180 million for the opening weekend.

The new report says it could be as low as 80 million now. Just a quick google search will show you the figures.

Thats around a 50% drop. But yet this article spins it as being something worth praising.
