TFA
Domestic: $936,662,225 45.3%
+ Foreign: $1,131,561,399 54.7%
= Worldwide: $2,068,223,624

Total profits $3,124,279,203
Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic: $532,177,324 50.4%
+ Foreign: $523,878,255 49.6%
= Worldwide: $1,056,055,579

Total profits $3,124,279,203 + a FUCK TON of merchandise.
(minus budgets : $245 million + $200 million = 445 million.)

I think they've already broken even.

Because he didn't care. He just wanted to get rid of SW.
If you remember he gave all that money to a charity right afterwards.

Fuck this number was Rogue One

I think they were right to only pay him 4 billion just in case the first movie would have been a flop.

>>83206361
I remember reading somewhere they already broke even before TFA came out purely from merchandising.

A Star Wars film is not going to be a fucking "flop," even after TPM and AOTC the third one still made a billion dollars

>>83206546

He fucked those charities over then, he should be ashamed of himself

>second film released
>50% drop in returns
Wew...

I profoundly miss the prequel trilogies and deeply wish George could have made the final three movies.

After TFA I'm never going to see another new Disney Wars movie again.

Thanks for the ride George; future decades will honor your depth of thought and scope

>>83206492
Thats revenue - you need to subtract costs/expenses

>>83206492
TFA made $350M in net profit and R1 made about $250M in net profit, all things considered. Double that with merchandising. They are a decade away from breaking even

When you have billions of dollars, what the fuck do you care if you add a few more? The dude is rich enough for 1000 life times.

>>83206361
He got $2 billions in cash a,d $2 billions in stocks. His stocks has already doubled since the release of the new movies. He makes money with every new movie. George isn't stupid.

>>83207537
tired contrarian troll is tired

>>83207575
For merchandise, practically pennies thanks to shitty Chinese and Indian child factories.

George Lucas quit Star Wars because of autists and man babies upset over him wanting to continue to make movies that were ultimately harmless and were created to reach out to a new generation of fans

>"You go to make a movie and all you do is get criticized... and it's not much fun."

Mark Hamill on how ungrateful pieces of shit everyone is over the prequels and how fans were whiney faggots over Lucas wanting to continue and expand on their fandom:

George clearly unhappy with the sequels discusses what could have been had he not been driven away by his own fans:

>"J.J., what happened to Darth Vader's grand children?"

https://youtu.be/YhhACgJJkc4

Documentary devoted entirely to shitting on Lucas for doing the prequels and special editions.

https://youtu.be/_rE1aYyqlqY

In the end Lucas couldn't deal with people saying

>muh original trilogy
>Star wars should only be edgy
>Jar Jar ruined the franchise
>give us only more of the same!
>someone take star wars away from Lucas!
>he ruined my childhood by making things that don't effect it

He's senile, that's all there is to it. He just didn't want to be burdened by all that shit anymore.

Don't forget his on the record comment when asked what he thought of VII

>I think the fans are going to love it. It’s very much the kind of movie they’ve been looking for.

Selling it was a passive agressive move. He knew Disney would fuck it up so spectacularly that by the end of their trilogy all those bitching fanboys would be wishing for him back and praising the prequels. We're well on our way to that already.

>>83207807
I feel bad for him. He never wanted Star Wars to become it to become popular and was pressured into finishing it.
