The box office numbers are not final yet, but it has done very well. People have wanted to see it and keep seeing it.
Keep in mind that most people were expecting this movie to make almost as much as TFA
Anyone predicting that would have been rightfully in the minority.
It seems like they would be in the minority, but most people were predicting that this movie would make an insane amount of money at the box office. I remember one guy (who doesn’t post here anymore) said something along the lines of “This movie will make 1.8 billion dollars, that is a fact. The haters won’t put a dent in this one.” If you look in the box office predictions thread, you’ll find many more examples. The people predicting 1 billion were labeled as pessimists, but it turns out the pessimists were right.
