It's the reason April crossed the Billion dollar mark for the first time ever.

Because it's summer and people are more likely to go to the movies during May/June/July than any other time of year.

Dude. You're an idiot and you don't even squirm well.

This movie flopped. Sadly, it sounds like it's one of the less shitty installments, but after the scatterbrained SJW mess of TLJ, a lot of the hardcores are leaving the farm.

But, this is what Disney deserves. They could have made their usual formulaic bland Disney shite and it would have actually worked out much better. Disney has spent decades honing their formula hack craft, and it works out well in movies like Frozen and _________ Princess.

But KK kept running directors off until she got the beta cuck she was looking for, and then she and her fem buddies just browbeat their stupid bullshite into the movie. Up until now, you sheep have been rewarding her for this.

Because IW had legs and Deadpool was a good movie -- both, by audience accounts, far better than Solo.

The fact that a rated-R Deadpool, or IF 4-5 weeks in even competes with a "new SW release" is amazing. It shows how bad the folks in charge of the SW movies have been.

Is Deadpool on pace to make more domestic/international than Solo now?

Edit: changed domestic to domestic/international

Oh, well there you go, though you'd think he'd at least understand math.

And "SJW" is just a fast way to get the point across. I could give every specific example every time the subject comes up, but we've had these discussions many times. If Disney doesn't want people to call them out on their political propaganda, they shouldn't announce to everyone that they're putting political propaganda in the movies.

It'll make far more than Solo. Looks like solo made about 5 million last night, which is pretty bad.

So you're one of those people who enjoy having politics injected in to every aspect of their lives?

this is the value of the star wars property without all the fans Disney maligned as racists and sexists. And they say they're boycotting IX too. they're hardcore. they want KK fired and some form of an apology for calling them racists. all these accounts with tons of followers and they all say the same thing

they're not boycotting because they hated TLJ or the identity politics of TLJ, they're boycotting because they didn't like it and for that they were called racists and ignored because of the BO total to which they were the main contributors


Nice that you believe that current events are the result of everyone sharing your personal world-view. I'm sure that you feel that hurricanes are the result of God's hatred of homosexuals, or chemtrails, or the Illuminati.

I didn't watch solo because I didn't want to. i wasn't withholding as part of some boycott, but they are, and as hardcore as they love star wars, they're boycotting it with the same intensity. take a spin around youtube. they all say the same thing. they didn't care that it sucked or had identity politics. They didn't like being vilified for not liking it.
I cared that it sucked, was filled with identity politics, and that I was vilified for not finding it to be the next Godfather.

And I agree with you. I’m not alone in that sentiment.

that's ridiculous, and quite ironic because that's precisely the response Disney is paying for right now

No kidding.

You thought those things so you must be a homosexual, woman-hating, racist.
