not to rain on your little bravado dance, despite the current holiday boosters TROS will likely historically underperform. This is because of the following: As it looks TROS will end up with a ww gross haul below or on par of TLJ; however, until now the third SW film always performed significantly better than the second one - especially the advertised last one of a 42 year old saga and biggest franchise ever!
And yet this is the most expensive ST film budget-wise (reshoot cost data still outstanding), plus likely sports the highest promo& advertisement cost counter balancing the fanbase backlash too. It will need approx 1B USD to break even. Not good for profitability.
That paired with the mixed reviews leaves a bitterly mixed aftertaste of bantha poodo (which to be fair TROS is mostly composed of). Not that I would care about numbers or ratings much; I just find it amusing to observe that the haters and fandom menace may have more reason to celebrate than you have. Lets wait and see.
