If this doesn't get them to take pause on future projects, then nothing will

How does it compare to regular old, non-StarWars/Marvel action movies?

I honestly have no idea how bad they'd have to do to really alter plans.

It'll depend on if it can recover from this weekend. That's a very big "if." Let's assume it can get to 250 domestically, and about the same internationally, that gives it a final number of 500 mil WW. IMO, that's a disaster for a Star wars film. That would be less than what Ant Man made.

Monday is not the weekend. You're adding a day.

It is this weekend.

Solo will probably still have the #6 Memorial Day weekend of all time, despite opening with Infinity War and Deadpool 2 for competition.

That has to hurt you inside.

I don't care. This is only the case for 2 weekends out of the year, so it's not holding it to the same standard as any other weekend.

Yeah, you got me. I'm pissed it's going to make less than $100 million in its opening three days when it has a $250 million dollar budget and another few hundred million on marketing. Absolutely devastated.

Of course you do. That's why you've been throwing your tears all over every Solo thread you can find.

The fact that you're clueless makes it much more entertaining, for what that's worth.

Of course you are. Anyone who has read your pissy posts about it can see that, and I'm not the first or only one to point it out.

What I think really bothers you is that even though it "underperformed" (#6 all-time is terrible ), it won't change a thing and you'll be right back here whining about the next one.

His point is that if it bombs hard enough then maybe they will make a quality Star Wars movie because they will be forced to. And he’s right.

First, Solo is a quality Star Wars movie. It's easily in the top half of all of the films.

Also, it's already on track to not "bomb," considering Disney is well aware that they fricked up the production of this film. There's no way in hell they thought they were going to make $250 million this weekend against Infinity War and Deadpool 2.

Yea, if you count the Holiday Special

Look, I thought Solo was enjoyable. But quality isn’t a word I’d associate it with. They had to reshoot how much of the movie? And they still ended up with just an “ok” product that’s very forgettable.

There are currently 10 Star Wars films, right? Name five that are better than Solo.

Original Trilogy
Rogue One
Revenge of the Sith
The Force Awakens

But if you are ok with the shitfest that was TLJ and the mediocre 80% reshot patchworked Solo then you do you. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and our opinion is that they could do a much better job. If you don’t believe that fact then you’re not worth arguing with.

Well you’ve got the original trilogy and Rogue One. After that it’s a matter of someone really liking one of the prequels.

Yep, that's about what I expected. Thanks for letting me know I can ignore any further opinions you have on it.
