As much as people were interested in Attack of the Clones when it came out (How did the Empire gets its military might) everyone I know does not care for Episode 9.
The destroy the past/make a film I want to make/screw developing plot points/etc. killed the franchise.
And after the head of Lucasfilm berating the fans of THEIR version of Star Wars, I am being overly optimistic on that $700M total global take.
That is even with reports Disney and dataracer on Twitter claiming they are doing another Capt.marvel any buying tickets to inflate numbers. And how Disney is being reported to havingfaked/cooked their books
in reporting revenue, I would not be surprised in the least this is happening again.
My guess is it will be a dumpster fire, but people will go just to see how the saga ends. EP 7 & 8 sucked and I could care less about any of the new characters. Watching paint dry will probably be more exciting.
If it goes that low or close to it there's something seriously wrong.
There IS something seriously wrong. But without a time machine or mass brainwashing TFA & TLJ can't be fixed.
I'll bet about 1.3b (+/- 500m)
Generally speaking, quality is a terrible predictor of success; marketing is far more important in the modern world. Plenty of excellent stuff makes no money, and plenty of crap makes tons (and vice versa).If the movie is good it will make scads of money.

You do realize that "everyone I know" (for any value of "I") is generally a group selected to already share opinions and tastes similar to yours? That makes it a poor indicator of what the market at large will do.
The Last Jedi made on the order of $1.3 billion dollars at the box office worldwide. For the box office to drop by half is not a reasonable expectation.
Please give citations from reliable and reputable sources, or this is just unsubstantiated rumor that we shouldn't use to set expectations. Just looking at the feed - "dataracer117" on twitter is not what I'd call a reliable source.
