>>10262421>No, it isn't.It is, because you're equating profits with revenue.
Since oyu fail at reading, Hasbro cites sagging PROFITS, not revenue, on Star Wars in your own post.
So the money they recieved from Star Wars in 2000 was inline with whatever they expected, otherwise they'd be saying REVENUE.
So what does profits being lower mean? Likely too many employees, hence all the "restructuring" they'd been going through since the year before. Other reason it's lower is because some exec was promised a Harrier jet for Star Wars sales in 1999 as a joke, but finding out he got it written in a contract. Who really knows, because they don't like revealing actual details.
>How could this have possibly happened?They made a billion dollars more in 1999 than they did the year before because of The Phantom Menance.
That bar was set super fucking high and what do stockholders always want year after year? GROWTH. How do you grow from that income in a non-Star Wars movie year in 2000? Only finding gold or oil on one of your properties would net you that type of growth out of nowhere
Stop being a fucking retard or just shut your retard mouth if you can't.
>Retailers dealt with it. Just like they dealt with Roses and Finns.Difference was that TPM didn't shelf warm as long as TFA, RO, and TLJ. TFA products was shelfwarming on store shelves all the way from 2015 til 2019. TPM products were gone in about a year, well before AotC came out.
Nevermind that TPM has constantly been getting products made from it almost every year since it came out. So despite all that shelf warming and belly aching from fans, stuff like pic was still made and selling out a year later.
Where are all the Roses, Finns, and Reys today?
You're trying to compare a mountain to a mole hill, fuckwit.
