That's only like a $500 million profit (using CowherPowerForever math).

They should have waited until December to release this.

A haha haha....good. They are getting what they deserve. Why would anyone want to see a movie about Han Solo after what they did to him? He ends up being a lousy husband and father who dies at the hand of his own son? What a loser.

TFA, Rogue One and TLJ disappointed me. I'm tired of throwing my money away for sub-par product. Kennedy needs to go, and Disney needs to do better.

They should have waited until December to release this. Not even, November. December would've been a major letdown. I can report my Monday 12:30pm showing had about 65% full, easily 40% of whom were surely 9yrs old or younger or whatever. I was expecting a ghost town, maybe 12 ppl tops.

Star Wars has a larger fanbase than the DCU. Solo, notwithstanding it's insipid mediocrity, is a better movie than BvS, Suicide Squad and Justice League. And yet it looks likely to gross around $250 million less than Justice League, which was a bomb anyway. If anyone ever needed proof of how much people hated The Last Jedi, this is it.

That's only like a $500 million profit (using CowherPowerForever math). This seems very likely now. In fact they might have to set their sights on $350 million the way it's going.

Latest forecasts for the weekend of June 8-10, 2018 are as follows. Box Office Prophets projects an estimated gross of $12.5m. Box Office Mojo projects a more optimistic $14.5m. So we should expect a drop of 51% to 57% for "Solo".

A bigger bomb than JL? Is that possible? Kennedy probably should be gone now.

JJ has a tough task ahead. Ep 9 has to give fans a satisfying and original ending. It's not going to be easy fixing this mess. I'm not sure JJ can to it tbh. I'm not sure anyone can fix the mess left by "The Last Jedi".
