A friend of mine asked me to go see TLJ this past weekend, despite knowing I'd seen it already. I said no thanks. Not only was the film bad, it was also way too long. I imagine there are many Star Wars fans (or ex Star Wars fans) who would have gone for a repeat viewing had the film been even halfway decent.

because most everyone saw it the first weekend and not many people are going back to see it again?

Why was there repeat viewings for TFA and not TLJ?

because people liked TFA more than they like TLJ?

and Jumanji is a crowdpleaser

Eh, it might be alright. Everyone likes Dwayne Johnson, and Gillian is hot in those shorts, but it still got #1 by making less money than TLJ made in it's 3rd week.

Idiot! $1.2b is not dismal.
