So can 990 million, but 290 million is a lot of money. When you hear “almost one billion” are you honestly going to claim you’re more likely to assume 700 than 990?
Or we can all admit it was hyperbole (like every other post here) and move on.
It wasn’t that hyperbolic. It made significantly less money than TFA. I don’t think it’s unfair to speculate that perhaps the more negative response from audiences led to it being less successful.
