In 2018, when Solo: A Star Wars Story made $393 million worldwide on a rumored $275 million budget, Outraged Fan Boycotters (OFBs) declared victory, and vowed to use their perceived power on other properties. Then came Captain Marvel, which the OFBs, if anything, went after harder than Solo. What did Captain Marvel make? $1.1 billion. Next came the Rise of Skywalker, which the OFBs are declaring victory over even as we speak despite a worldwide opening weekend of $375 million. Assuming that the film has the same multiplier as the last film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, it will end up topping out between $1 billion and $1.1 billion. The lesson: literally nobody cares about OFBs or their boycotts, and for all the effect they have they might as well not exist.
