[QUOTE="Grant_C, post: 485659, member: 2991"] There is an argument that shows the middle film of the OT and PT had equal drops and this fits perfectly into that model. Its not easy to see how much was lost by fans not repeat viewing. Its very possible that if the film was universally loved, it could have made $2 billion. We will never know I guess. I don't agree with your point on the toys. Yes they are in the sewer, but speaking to Dave Tree, he said that action figure toys are in the sewer over all ranges (except Lego). 3 3/4 action figures are a 40 year old concept and apparently kids are more interested in their video games and phone apps now than playing with action figures. Its doesn't help that all of the TLJ toys were the same figures as the from the TFA range (except Luke/Rose/Paige). They were all wearing the same clothes pretty much with different sculpts. Not exactly attractive and many stockists still had a ton of TFA and R1 toys that are heavily discounted. Plus the rising price of engineering toys means no vast amount of ships are being made. Just a handful per-film. I think the time for 3 3/4 toys are over. Hasbro know this and that's why the 6inch black series aimed at collectors has taken off. So while I think you may be right on toy sales being in the sewer, I believe that this will be the case for action figure toy lines going forward regardless of the popularity of the film. I agree with the Blu-Ray sales, but do we know how the sales compare to other similar films? Has it been illegally downloaded more than other films? This is an interesting read. I look forward to reading every ones POV on this. [/QUOTE]
