well I think you can certainly expect a lower budget on the last Episode given the social media reaction.
It looks like a 50/50 split so the budget will be aligned accordingly for losses.
More accurate research shows it’s nothing near 50/50, probably closer to 90/10 or 70/30 at the very least.
And when TLJ becomes the third highest grossing domestic release of all time, I’m sure any thought about decreasing the IX budget will disappear.
