Where does the other $145 million go?
What I meant was, when I pay some money for a ticket, not all of that goes back up the chain. The movie theater keeps some of it, yet box office numbers are before that as I understand it[1][2].

Let's go through the litany:
- Moneygrab reboot
- Disposes of all the old actors, except the one who always a bas relief and never really had a part of his own
- Skeletal approach to continuing the franchise
- Empty world; First because Endgame reprised The Leftovers and second because the world is literally empty
- Actors bring lazy disinterested schtick instead of charisma to bear for parts written with no character
- Pointless action
- Plot is a drug / alcohol intervention managed by Trump's press secretary
- No reason to care about what happens next in the franchise
- Regards itself as merely a collection of tropes
- Most interesting part doesn't rise even to a Star Wars "can you at least put on towel" moment
But other than this what an incredible installment for a dead franchise!
