yep, Disney coerced theaters into a guaranteed 4 week stay and 62% of the gross.  that's over.

65% of the gross, which I had posted months ago. This jumps to 70% if they end the showing sooner as a penalty.

Disney has an impressive list of demands for theaters who want to show 'The Last Jedi'

Chinese News Service says Last Jedi 'insults the IQ of the audience,' thus box office dropped 92% after 1st weekend in China. :flamed:

Ouch that’s brutal. That’s exactly what Disney could not do if they wanted to grow this movie franchise in China.

I still thought it was phenomenal. Far better than the Force Awakens.  Now that some of the insanity has passed I will post my review of it hopefully sometime over the next week.

Week 4 totals are in. Its looking like TLJ is going to slide in around 300 million (roughly 33%) under what TFA did, and potentially lose 700 million total compared to TFA.  I really hope JJ can salvage something borderline good out of the chaos caused by this movie, and that he moves away from horrible idea's like hyperdrive warheads (which basically would win any battle ever).

I guess someone that took issue with all the women in the movie didn't like the 'WOMEN POWER' message. So they edited them out of their cut of the film.

MRAs Make 46-Minute Cut Of ‘The Last Jedi’ That Edits Out All The Women

Quote

It is utterly tragic that MRAs aren’t given the respect they deserve. It’s truly galling that just because their entire worldview was formed around a profound sense of entitlement induced by watching thousands of hours of harem anime, no one takes them seriously. It’s heartbreaking to think that people dismiss them out of hand just because – instead of addressing actual issues like the rates of suicide and depression among men – they focus on dumb mess like editing out all the parts of The Last Jedi that aren’t centred around men.

 

If that last thing sounded too ridiculous to be true, you have clearly forgotten which time it is that we live in and the corresponding fact that pretty much nothing now is too ridiculous to be true. We live in the most aggressively ridiculous timeline. Accordingly, the self-described “chauvinist cut” of TLJ is very, very real, and exactly as dumb as it sounds.

 

Uploaded to The Pirate Bay yesterday by an anonymous user, the “The Last Jedi: De-Feminized Fanedit” is, according to their own description “basically The Last Jedi minus Girlz Powah and other silly stuff“.

MRA = Men's RIghts Advocate

That may be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.  A worthwhile and mature person -- man or woman -- lifts up what's great about gender, both in its differences and what unites us as human beings.  We can disagree about character actions, plot holes, and wasted opportunities, but not about whether every human being has the potential and the power to be authoritative, heroic, and good.
