Definitely lackluster, but it's still has money to make in DVD, digital, cable television and streaming
Then the box-set releases in a few years down the road. So it likely won't lose the studio money, but it won't make them all that much, especially compared to other films in the franchise.
Its a JL scenario IMO. Where poor fan reception to previous films have lead to this.
Movie was actually decent and left open ended, but obviously wont get a sequel now, which is a shame Imo. I thought both Alden and Donald Glover were good/great as Solo/Lando.
Dunno, TFA made 2.06bil, R1 made 1.05bil and TLJ made 1.3bil, making over a billion doesn't really relate say "fans hate this". TFA likely made so much because it was again the first new Star Wars in over a decade and hype helps bring in $$$. But there is a clear slump, with Solo making far less than it should have considering the franchise, so maybe you're right, we'll see next year.
I still think epIX is going to make at least 1.6bil, likely more as the hype for the last chapter in this trilogy will be there. Disney should be looking at these falling numbers though and do a course correction as there's clearly more money to be made.
I overall enjoyed it, but it had dull moments and the story wasn't great, just sort of okay to there. The characters were good though and that drove it imo.
BvS made 870mill, Suicide Squad 745mill, Wonder Woman 820mill. Then suddenly JL flops making the least out of all of them but on the biggest budget.
Also 1.3 Bill for TLJ looks good on paper, but that was clearly a HUGE Drop from Force Awakens numbers. So it was the wrong trajectory.
Now sure with TFA like you pointed out, the hype factor was crazy, but still TLJ was expected to do Avengers/Jurassic World numbers. But it fell way short of either of those even.
Your feelings aren’t all that matters. It’s entirely different and stupid to compare the dceu’s first teamup movie to Han Solo movie. That isn’t a buildup or a big deal in the Star Wars mythos so a false equivocation to say the least.
Of course JL was a bigger deal, but thats why it grossed a lot more than Solo.
You frankly have to be retarded (no surprise given who im talking with), not to see the result of Solo shows something has gone terribly wrong with Disney Star Wars as a whole. And that it obviously wasnt just down to Solo itself.
There are a lot of variables to what went wrong not just pissed off Star Wars fans over the Last Jedi. You don’t want to see the whole picture just one aspect of it.
That played a part, as did the poor release date, the lack of interest in Solo as a film in general, the poor marketing, more competition, and the inflated budget. Disney also kind of saw the writing on the wall in December and realized this might be a loss for the company. Yw I broke down many of the other factors, emotional boy!
Ya, why release this on Memorial Day weekend AFTER Infinity War and Deadpool 2?
Reminds me of Disney's release of Alice Through the Looking Glass back on Memorial Day 2016: though not an apples-to-apples comparision (Star Wars is the marquee film franchise, there have been lots of Star Wars films and merchandising in the past three years compared to Through the Looking Glass being 6 years removed from Wonderland 2010), the numbers for Alice were way down and had direct competition from another MCU film, Civil War.
The only year that a May was so stacked with blockbusters and it worked out for all of them was 2007: Spider-Man 3, Shrek the Third, and PotC: At World's End all made bank (SM3 broke the opening weekend record for the time and was the domestic champ in 2007, PotC was the international champ).
Even Pirates didn't do fantastic on Memorial Day weekend of last year.
Poor release date, bad marketing, and a bad idea to center a film around Han Solo. Couple that with some hardcore crybabies openly boycotting their own Star Wars and it was a recipe for disaster. The competition now for the movie goers has never been more ferocious either.
I think Screenrant (might have been another source), said that your average person goes to see 2 films a year at the cinema. This year has had two monster hits in Black Panther and Avengers, and then another big sequel for the adults in the R-rated Deadpool 2. Plus Incredibles 2 and Jurassic World 2 coming out, that's way too much for Solo to contend with, especially in light of those factors you listed, Quan.
I named other factors involved you’re free to pretend they don’t exist and just pretend it’s only backlash from the Last Jedi.
Deadpool 2 was a more exiting idea and marketed far better than Solo. It also performed under expectations but did far better than Solo.
No, that’s incorrect. Solo never even got Star Wars fans excited and is an ok film. The other films were better films, had better release dates, and marketing.
They aren’t having this huge of an effect you’re just making the mistake it’s all them. That’s only one factor but you’ve always been a retarded self loathing Star Wars fan.
You’re wrong and emotional. Making over a billion isn’t a failure by any stretch. The failure here is Solo but it was a bad idea, poorly marketed, horrible release date, and more competition.
You’re what is horrible about the fanbase. Ignorant butthurt losers.
