Since everyone seems to prefer WAGs to actually looking at the numbers, cites, and analysis in the original [article](https://practicaleconomics.org/disney-star-wars-the-finances/) I posted, or the 2020 [update](https://practicaleconomics.org/disney-star-wars-finances-final-results-after-the-rise-of-skywalker-update/), I suppose I’d better post the results table:

So Disney is $2bn down on the movies - including the merchandise.

_The Mandalorian_ will have improved that a bit.

If you have cites for more accurate figures I’d be happy to see them.
