Skywalker bombing in China. Now expected to gross about 15% of what Force Awakens did over there. So Disney’s cut of the earnings would amount to about $4 million total if this is correct.

Yes. But Star Wars was never big in China. That being said, this will be an interesting moment for Star Wars.

It’s not a huge surprise and it had solid competition over there. Still managed to miss the projections though. Meanwhile the rest of the world will be seeing it.

For the Star Wars genre itself - don't worry, The Mandalorian is saving it all!!!

Makes you wonder if they could split the experience like mission space, to have more intense and less intense versions.

Not sure they would at this point due to the popularity.

No reason to, but correct me if I'm wrong, it isn't running full capacity due to overheating concerns.
My thought is when the next Avatar movie comes out, it could be updated similar to Star Tours adding new scenes.

The overheating isn't much of an issue anymore. It runs as well as it can.

This ride isn't based on the films either but the planet the film takes place on.

The other thing is the setting in AK is like 100 years after the film(s) take place. So I more think that the ride is giving us a preview of future films. (My understanding is a lot of underwater stuff in the next one.)
