'Rogue One' vs 'Passengers' vs 'Assassin's Creed': a slaughter?

Unlike establish franchise or genre comedy, movie like that are dependent a lot of their receptions and reviews, not sure they have a low (they could do warcraft level of nothing who knows) or maximums.

We don't have much example of the past, no similar blockbuster was in star wars 7 legs, well except point break but I'm not sure it really count.

I agree. Let's assume for a moment all three films have excellent reviews. Under those circumstances, for the weekend of December 21 it would basically come down to the race between a well known brand ('Assassin's Creed') against star power (Lawrence and Pratt).

What do you think will be the bigger draw for audiences?

I get the feeling that both will miss (releasing two sci-fi films in the wake of the 500 pound gorilla of the genre seems a bit strange), but I think star-power would win the day, unless the promotion for Passengers is completely bungled, and Assassin's Creed actually grabs the attention of people who've never heard of the games.

Shut it, Love Actually! Do you want me to hole punch your face?

Yeah, I'm also thinking along those lines. But seriously: what were they thinking? Just as you said; releasing two big budget sci-fi(ish) films just one week after what is expected to be another Disney juggernaut - it really seems like a gamble. Unless 'Rogue One' receives terrible reviews, I just don't see those two later releases succeeding.

Do they have a logic: star wars create a getting to the theater habit during Christmas, people will go more in cinemas, will see the trailers in theater and we will take advantage of a smaller percentage of a much larger than usual pie ?

Because for a video games movie and according to people that have read passengers scripts, it is not to take advantages of the awards season.

Mixed received trailer for Assassins and unconfident ubisoft make me think passengers at least domestic, maybe a bit more counter programming, but we have yet to see anything from it.

Apparently 'Passengers' is going through reshoots at the moment, which could be why we haven't seen anything from it so far.
