Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Why Disney Can Demand 65% of Box Office for “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”

Just when North American cinema operators looked forward to having blockbuster films like “Thor: Ragnarok” and “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” come along and boost a box office that has sagged in the second half of 2017, along comes Disney to squash any such dreams.
