You're expecting Star Wars to make over 2.2 billion overseas (That's assuming you give the movie $600 million domestically). Over twice as much as Jurassic World. Also, that sort of insane difference between international and domestic box office ($600 million to $2.2 billion) only happens with foreign films, or films that fail to meet expectations here.

Disney knows it has issues with Star Wars in China. That's partly why it's having trouble scheduling a release date for China.

I'm not "expecting" anything. I'm discussing permutations. See below. - David Nov 9, 11:57 1
- To be clear, by problems in China I'm thinking they'll have to deal with $150 million there instead of $250 million. -- (edited) - Inigo Nov 9, 12:02
