Within that $175 million is a guaranteed fanbase that will also buy huge amounts of pre-sale tickets.
Ultimately, at this time of year with this kind of movie, the opening is going to be a bit all over the place. The final take for the movie will be what's important. TLJ finished with 1.3 billion total. RoS really needs to build on that.
Especially after the big drop from TFA, which brought in over 2 billion. A downward trend over all 3 movies is definitely trouble. That doesn't even take into account Solo being a major flop.
That being said, the Manadalorian is being praised. Disney really needs to hone in what makes a Star Wars movie good. It's obviously not just a bunch of x-wings and over the top CGI stuff.
