Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is on track for disappointing sales in China, one of the worlds largest movie markets. According to sales figures from preview nights, the final chapter in the trilogy could make less than any Star Wars trilogy movie to date.

THR reports that The Rise of Skywalker earned just $1.6 million on opening night (RMB 11.6 million) which placed the Star Wars movie in a distant fourth-place. If those numbers continue, the film is forecasted to make $17.8 million on opening weekend. This would trail The Last Jedis $42.5 million and The Force Awakens $124 million..

Well it's good to know it's only China.

From the talk I've heard, you would think there would be like three butts per theater everywhere.

Yeah, I'm seeing as many empty theater posts on twitter as I did with Captain Marvel.

So yeah, easy billion for RoS.

China loves the Transformer movies and Jurassic Park movies. They love big action spectacles. This newest Star Wars would probably be a hit, but a lot of bad blood was created by TLJ, which was viewed as boring.

Especially this one, evidently. It's on track to net one seventh what TFA did.

People make this topic literally every time a Star Wars film comes out

Of course it's doing bad in China

The originals never came out there

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

Not surprising after TLJ left a sour taste to many.

Yep. These new films are total shit without the Star Wars name to ride on.

Reboot the series with Luke Skywalker as a Chinese man who believes in redistributing the wealth and obeying the government. And no women or black people in prominent roles. That'll reach the target market.

Fun fact: Star Wars movies always bomb in China. No joke. They just couldnt care less about the franchise. Probably because they never got the movies until recently. Its hard to be wowed by A New Hope in 2011 or whenever.

Yeah I dont think Star Wars was even played in China til recently. Like the OT even.

Plus I doubt the religious stuff like the force would turn them off.
