While Rogue One: A Star Wars Story sounds like a safe, money making prospect, this weekend’s dismal performance of fellow Disney sequel Alice Through The Looking Glass is going to have Disney on high alert when it comes to even the suggestion of another big tentpole franchise taking a bath at the box office.
