Rise of Skywalker: How Does It Stack Up? | Charting with Dan! 

Not an adaptation. This looks like an actual real plot-movie! (fingers are so crossed)

Yeah, it's actually based more on the original story. I'm looking forward to it

Yes.. It is

They did say its based more on the actual Ballad of Mulan. Fingers crossed its more original

this is going to make mega bucks as there will be much more interest in china where there's normally a drop off

Perhaps we chart too soon

Don't tell anyone.

that hits different now

Jeanne's Movie Chats Cool channel!

@@ieatgremlins Thank you so much! :)

gpage This. 👆

Yeah, it was less political but fans were still divided over "Fuck Yeah Fanservice!" vs "Urgh, it's nothing but fanservice"

I hated Rogue one

I personally loved Rouge One! It was unique enough to stand on it‘s own and had just the right amount of connection to the main series (not like Solo which really pushed the „explaining everything“

The Rise of Skywalker seems to be pretty well-liked by looking at Rotten Tomatoes ratings. It's the critics the one who complained. But the majority of the people liked it

Agreed, the average butt is worth (weighs) more in 2019.

Also, there are now more butts than there were 20 years ago, so one 1999 butt represented a higher percentage of the potential audience than one 2019 butt did.

Excellent point sir ☝️🧐

LOL but that was the problem. The Ring has the scary wet girl. The Grudge is supposed to have the scary pale bloody girl. They mixed up the ghosts. I think people were disappointed that there was no Kayako in this new movie.

Dan’s Brain: CAT-niss Everdeen Jennifer Lawrence (somewhere): *shudders*

I immediately went there.

Brent Russell probably one of my favorite movies of the year

Saw it the first week. Just saw again Thursday with the director commentary on my phone which was nice! Some friends wanted to go see it for their first viewing and I joined. Sold out for 7pm on the 2nd

Yeah I've been recommending it to basically everyone who would listen 😄

justinisasquare hasn’t there been an inflation in population though? More people to have butts now.

Someone's triggered

As long as the audience doesn't then it will be a genre, and that is what the studios will lean into. The legacy of Loony Tunes and Disney has permanently genrefied animation.

Well...it is both....it is a format, but there are also specific tropes which are connected with the format. But I understand what you are getting at. There is a huge difference between the typical Disney movie and something like Perfect Blue, which might be animated, but is more a psychothriller than anything else.

I understand how we get to this state today. I'm just disappointed. There are many stories that can be told in an animation format, but because of these deeply held "genre-conventions", American/Hollywood animation may never reach the same kind of creativity peak that Japanese Anime has. And that is a shame, because I do also believe that there are stories that only American, and not the Japaneses, would tell. I just want another South Park movie, but maybe a bit more dramatic oriented...

It totally does. Her novel, Crooked House has a lot of similarity to Knives Out.

@@beccadotelpy They do say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. At least it means that there are more 'Murder Mystery' style film's, which is something I do enjoy.

Ronnie Barzel I got in an hour long argument with someone over this. They would not admit that Marvel was more popular, despite having the highest grossing movie. After TROS, I hope that they finally understand where I was coming from.

I agree with both of you. Marvel is currently doing way better than Star Wars and I think they have a good plan going forward.

Pokemon and Hello Kitty are the biggest worldwide brands. Each is worth more than all of Disney so they can't even hope to touch those IPs.

@@budthecyborg4575 GTA is the biggest brand. People kind of dismiss How GTA 5 is the most profitable entertaining product ever, for a budget of Just a average blockbuster (around 250 mi), and generated more than 6 bi of profit.

It's _literally_ going to make well over $1B worldwide, bud. Shut your mouth.

@@DarinMichaelGrant you are right. Disney knows they can polish a turd and still make a billion dollars. They have found the secret formula for success.

For a Star Wars finale it should not be doing Rouge One numbers. It should be hitting Avengers 1 numbers at least. $1B for Star Wars is disappointing.

@@SeriousStriker It isn't really a Star Wars finale. Rian aborted the trilogy and tried to restart it with TLJ, which has really hurt the property. This is essentially either part two of Rian's or part two if JJ's. If it is to be a finale then there needed to be another movie of either of theirs sequences. Rian really screwed the pooch with his timing and insistence on using his story in the middle of an already started trilogy. He should have waited until Episode X to do his thing.

You made my day.

David Carfagno finally

I mean it is a good movie too so that’s there

Great sweaters are the universal language.

Not entirely. The translated title turns people off because it sounds like a PC propaganda movie. A lot of Chinese reviewers recommended the movie on social media and even organized group viewings with Q&A after the screenings. It got good words-of-mouth in China, too.

Luis Martinez It’s quite clear what she’s stating. I think you’re just an idiot.

RACIST!

Arceus Lord of Creation they really didn’t get into it (to prevent negative reactions, probably), so their thoughts could go either way

"all the pieces were there after TLJ" What are you talking about? TLJ basically wrapped up all the setups of TFA leaving no where to go except doing another Return of the Jedi. The entire movie either threw out plot ideas, killed them off, or simply ignored them. This is why RoS was just a disjointed mess. New ideas had to be built from the ground up to make a movie. Instead of Snoke you had to bring back Palps. Nothing was done with Finn and there was too much to do in this last film to really build his character up. Ditto with Po. Honestly I would have love to have seen what Johnson would have done with a 3rd film as really the only focus you could have done was on the First Order, but as a wrap-up to the trilogy you need a single big bad guy as the point person to defeat. It could have been Ben, it should have been both or Rey. Johnson blew a cannonball sized hole through the setup that JJ did in TFA that I really have a hard time seeing anything that wouldn't be disjointed. The best I've seen is somewhat of a combination of the Fanscription idea. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dtPgS1l3Rxo.html

It isn’t it is just internet and tweeter talk . All it will take is one big movie and it will be Star Wars is back like the talk was after the force awakens.

I think this is Disney reading too much into the Star Wars Fandom bubble and Solo's box office. Most people I know was excited for the movie and loved it.

Everything's relative. Star Wars isn't an indie movie given a small budget and expected to make peanuts. It's built as a franchise blockbuster and given the budget to do it.

@The Kid from Ironman 3 2 billion is still a barely attainable goal. There are only 5 movies who have made 2 billion. It is rare. The Rise of Skywalker is easily making over 1 billion dollars. IMO, Disney is leaving money on the table by not continuing the Skywalker saga and should have milked the cow until it was dry. Their only "failure" was Solo, and that was the only movie not directly related to the Skywalker story.

@@UNFITTED1 movies stay in theatres for as long as they are making money (and the contract with the studio requires), and are more often about 30 days. Star Wars is going to be out longer than that, to be sure, but the majority of the money is earned in the first few weeks, so it's not going to hit $2B, for example. Yes, ROS is a financially successful film, the issue is that it's not as successful as it seems like it should be, which means everyone's trying to figure out why: is it poor critical reviews, negative audience reaction to TLJ or Solo carrying over, oversaturation, marketing, etc. Saying it's doing well is correct, but missing the point: it's not doing as well as it "should", ie. as predicted. Also, no need for name calling.

It never got the original trilogy do it had no love of Star Wars built in like the rest of the world . Back then foreign films weren’t allowed in China

William Holich if Lion King is live action then so is toy story. It is literally an animated movie, people calling it anything else are just wrong.

Not quite.... what Disney wants to say is that one scene was not CGI based...Spirits Within and Advent Children were 100% CGI... But I agree with the premise...

McNaire then the LEGO movie is a live action movie.

Lion king is neither live action or animation

Trust me. It doesn't help.

He might have under normal circumstances but everything is so screwy over the holidays the results would be meaningless. Even when both films you're comparing are released on the same date in different years the fact that Christmas day is on a different day of the week would significantly affect the results. It's sad, I like to see the % drop offs too but understandable.

@@pigmiwarriorentertainment274 Nope. I've been watching for three years and he doesn't really go back over what happened over the holidays, Christmas or Thanksgiving.

fostane lool serio

@@elisabettapulcini8243 Non avrei mai pensato di sentire Dan parlare di Checco 😂

Actually, better than at least 4 Star Wars films (I kinda liked Solo and TLJ, don't @ me)

Christian Drage what’s with the capitalization?

Definetly a more proper term then live action.

Yeah sometimes entirely diffrent titles too Fird vs Ferrai was called Le Mans 66 in countries more familar with the European racing circuit.
