Presales are bad for a Disney star wars film. If it plays more like Marvel family film it could barely break 100m for the 3 day.
Bad for 250m+ movie

Deadpool 2 is an R-Rated film and Infinity War came out a month ago
No excuse if it underperforms

Disney/Lucasfilm’s Solo: A Star Wars Story posted $14.1M in Thursday night previews. Disney is calling that a record for a Thursday prior to Memorial Day weekend, exceeding the $13.2M made by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End on the Thursday prior to its holiday weekend. We already mentioned last night how Solo towers over other Memorial Day weekend previews such as The Hangover Part 2 ($10.4M), X-Men: Apocalypse ($8.2M), X-Men: Days of Future Past ($8.1M), and Fast and Furious 6 ($6.5M). At World‘s End grossed $139.8M over four-days, a Memorial Day record with $153M over five-days. Solo‘s previews rank behind Thor: Ragnarok‘s $14.5M which opened to $122.7M during the first weekend in November.

Everyone has been saying the Solo marketing team are lying shitbags for weeks. They were claiming an opening weekend of $150 million plus and yet nobody could find a theater that was sold out opening night. If the above article is true then they are guilty of some pretty heinous BS. That's the sort of scummy behavior we have become used to from WB marketing the DCU. |

So basically the movie is fucking trash, and audiences hated it.

The movie got okay reviews, this wasnt enough to build up a great opening weekend.
The difference this and Last Jedu, which most people disliked, is that it had many of the classics characters in it people wanted to see again. This movie only has their names. That wont draw the big crowds.
The big question is how well it can do overseas, because this movie won't even make 300 million domestically. And it needs to make at least 500 million to turn a profit.

Even if the stated production budget of $250 million includes the costs of having to reshoot nearly the entire movie (highly unlikely), Solo would still need $750 million from the worldwide BO to break even in theaters. |

Deadline already confirmed the 250 million includes the reshoots. And since Disney takes more money overseas than every other studio 500 million is about right. |

It's not as though people haven't demonstrated to you before why your perception is incorrect. Are you like this with everything in life? You just shake your head and carry on believing what you want to believe no matter what evidence is put in front of you.  |

That is funny coming from you who denies the budget is truly 250 million after reshoots, even though credible sources say otherwise. And do you know why double the budget is the benchmark for the start of making profit? Because studios get between 50 and 65 percent of the money domestically, depending on the studio. Disney is one that commands the most. And as high as 45 percent overseas. I've been studylying box office for well over a decade now. I know what I'm talking about. |

You also always argue the same shit and you are ALWAYS wrong. I didn't deny the budget was $250 million, if you know how to read and comprehend text, that is. 
And for someone who has been studylying BO for over a decade, it's a wonder how you always forget to include the marketing budget in any of your calculations.  |

Marketing costs are not forgotten, just often offset by other things. Like in film advertising or toy lines for example for Star Wars.

Compare that to films with similar numbers it projects to $300 million to $550 million. Breaking $500 million might even be considered optimistic. (Yes, breaking $500 million domestic is very optimistic). |

On what planet does "highly unlikely" = denial?
I have read a number of articles which have said the budget is "at least $250 million." You read an article that says the budget is $250 million. Cool. I never said that it isn't.
Disney won't see much of the money made from ancillaries for ages. A movie is judged as a success or a failure based on it's performance in theaters. $250 million budget + $125 million marketing = $375 million. Even allowing for a fifty/fifty split with theater chains worldwide (which we know there isn't), Solo would need to gross $750 million to break even on it's theatrical run.
