Probably. They probably had her all the way to IX as well. I am guessing there will be some rewriting and reshooting of sorts.

I have no idea if it's true or not, but wasn't there an old rumor that
Leia gets attacked and goes into a coma because of her injuries
If that's true, I'm going to say that
Rey lashes and injures Leia, causing her to run away and eventually join Snoke. Once Snoke has Rey, he betrays Kylo Ren, who joins the Resistance to get revenge.
WB and Sony didn't submit their weekend actuals today, but everyone else did. I assume we will get the missing info (along with Tuesday) tomorrow.
Rogue One did score a $32M Monday. Moana's actual Monday gross was $4.8M vs the $3.0M estimate Disney gave yesterday.
Sing, Assassin's Creed, and Why Him decreased a bit in the actuals.
Miss Sloane dropped 91% to $41k.

Thats a crazy increase, over 50%?
Eh I disagree
I would say they didn't lead to a mass amount of GOOD adaptions
The 90s is full of some random arse comic book movies
The Mask, MIB, Phantom, Barbwire, Spawn, etc
Would you say it's...
strange?

Dear god Assassin's Creed, they will never reach 50% of the budget.

I mean, it's been like that for 15 years or so.
It's amazing that SS whipped Strange's ass, but SS didn't come close to breaking even.

And BvS is the greatest achievement in cinematic history but no one understands its genius.
But seriously, outside of Apocalypse, comic films this year had some great grosses.
Still crazy that BvS didn't break a billion.

Yeah. If a film was a lock it was that one.
I can't think of 2 bigger and more universally recognized IPs

It had that monster opening day, and then it started to trip its way up the cliff.
But look at the money it and Suicide Squad still pulled in on really horrible reviews. Imagine how high DC could go if they delivered something good. It is obvious the hunger is there to see those characters on film.
You know, looking back at the box office from 2000 it's ridiculous show much things have changed.
1 Mission: Impossible II Par. $546.4 $215.4 39.4% $331.0 60.6%
2 Gladiator DW $457.6 $187.7 41.0% $269.9 59.0%
3 Cast Away Fox $429.6 $233.6 54.4% $196.0 45.6%
4 What Women Want Par. $374.1 $182.8 48.9% $191.3 51.1%
5 Dinosaur BV $349.8 $137.7 39.4% $212.1 60.6%
6 How the Grinch Stole Christmas Uni. $345.1 $260.0 75.3% $85.1 24.7%
7 Meet the Parents Uni. $330.4 $166.2 50.3% $164.2 49.7%
8 The Perfect Storm WB $328.7 $182.6 55.6% $146.1 44.4%
9 X-Men Fox $296.3 $157.3 53.1% $139.0 46.9%
10 What Lies Beneath DW $291.4 $155.5 53.3% $136.0
Even 2009 wasn't too bad, 4 original IPs...although one of them featured talking animals.

That was worldwide. The domestic is next to it, which was $215.4m.
It's ridiculous it hit that much domestic and worldwide. How'd it have dem legs?

I remember Dinosaur being a flop. Didn't know it was 5th WW.

M:I 2 had pretty standard summer legs for 2000
Compare that to Gladiator's legs, which opened only a few weeks before.
And M:I 2 had the second lowest #1 WW gross of any film within 5 years in either direction.
2005 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire $896.9
2004 Shrek 2 $919.8
2003 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King $1,119.1
2002 The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers $923.3
2001 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone $974.8
2000 Mission: Impossible II $546.4
1999 Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace $983.6
1998 Armageddon $553.7
1997 Titanic $2,128.9
1996 Independence Day $817.4
1995 Toy Story $373.6
It was still a big success, but it wasn't a monster like the hits in the years around it.

So, better than last year's top 10 ww grossing films, then? Things are looking up!
2015: Sequel, sequel, sequel, sequel, spinoff, sequel, original IP, sequel, sequel, adaptation of a novel.
Damn I just went back and yep the last time original IPs outnumbered sequels/reboots/adapted screenplays at the top 10 WW was 2000. Of course, back then the entire top 10 put together grossed less than this year's top 5. So we brought this trend on ourselves.
I'm shocked that they actually went with the weird time-travel storyline from the game. I always thought that entire concept was dumb, and the story should have just been set in medieval times.

It would've at least made for a great act 3 twist if they started in medieval times; then you open up the world toward the end of the movie.

Is it possible Rogue One doesn't pass Civil War for the top spot this year? It looks like its doing a bit weaker overseas than Civil War did even though its going to pass it by a good amount domestically

How's Moana's take looking? I know that Disney animation still goes for staggered worldwide releases, but it's still looking remarkably tepid to this particular untrained eye.

Titanic numbers always just pop out.
In tickets sold since it...nothing is even in the same galaxy
Titanic is the most successful film of all time worldwide if you are going by attendance (especially if you are not counting decades of re-releases)
Edit: that said, some of those posted 90s grosses have 2010s 3D re-release cash thrown in.
Fantastic Beasts' domestic run is comparable to Oz: The Great and Powerful's according to Mojo ($215m for FB and $219m for Oz in 39 days) but Oz had a way bigger budget and not as high overseas gross.
Sam Raimi movies seem to either be really cheap or really expensive with no middle ground.

I could be wrong, but I think Civil War has the edge currently by about 50 million or so. China and SK don't look to be over performers, so I would guess R1 tops out at 1.1 billion.

Has any studio managed to set something up like Disney? It is a well oiled money making machine.
One day the wheels will come off but right now it seems they are unstoppable.

It's a loss leader to bring about greater awareness for the brand. Or whatever in the hell that Ubisoft guy said.
There was also a Marvel movie with the title Civil War and a Star Wars movie. Those were actual locks just based off of prior quality. Folks don't care to see ya movie if they think it looks bad. Although the X-Men films may prove my point wrong...
Eh, still making Billions of dollars because jesus christ of course they are
Just think how many people went insane when DIsney bought Marvel Entertainment and Lucasfilms saying they are gonna fuck everything up

I wish they would lower the ticket prices for movies that bombed.
Top 55 Highest Grossing of 2016 (as of right now):
There are so many shitty movies that made more than Ghostbusters what the hell
Buying Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilms are all genius moves. Buying Pixar has even led to Disney Animation being turned around by bringing John Lasseter in.

And why would I want them?
I'm pretty surprised Sing is Certified Fresh. That movie fucking suuuuucked. Probably the worst movie I've seen in a theater this year.

Yeah its gonna be interesting to watch. I think their total gross is going to be really really close with Civil War edging it out and remaining number 1 for the year. Either way Disney just keeps dumping buckets of cash into their reserves.
Like, it's absurd how much money they will bring in
