with solo crashing at the box office.

How long do you guys think it will take for Kathleen kennedy to be shitcanned ?


I'm guessing when episode 9 fails to reach 1 billion.


Bob iger must be pissed Disney just spent a mint updating their parks with Starwars shit.


Thanks Rian wish I could be there to see your face when your new movies get dumped in the trash can.

Johnson may have single handedly killed the franchise. There is no reason to expect any spinoff to outperform Solo for starters. 9 would have to be on Avengers 3 type level to recover all the lost enthusiasm.

Yeah never as one man done so much damage to a franchise.

they really need to fire KK and Rian and start building over on a new franchise with an overarching story.

no more pointless spinoffs.

'Solo' Will Lose $50M-Plus in First Defeat for Disney's 'Star Wars' Empire
Quote:

In one of the biggest box-office surprises in recent times, Solo is badly underperforming and will become the first of the Star Wars movies made by Disney and Lucasfilm to lose money.

Wall Street analyst Barton Crockett says Solo will lose more than $50 million. Industry financing souces, however, say that figure could come in at $80 million or higher, although no one knows the exact terms of Disney's deals for home entertainment and television, among other ancillary revenues.

Solo, directed by Ron Howard, isn't likely to gross much more than $400 million globally against a budget of at least $250 million and a major multimillion-dollar marketing spend. The movie lost major altitude in its second weekend of play to finish Sunday with a domestic total of $148.9 million and global cume of $264.2 million.

Amusing considering it might be the best of the new films.

How do they **** up a license to print money like star wars?

At this rate the next movie will be called Star Wars: Chapter Eleven.

I don't think they ****ed it up. Solo was a good movie.

People just finally have Star Wars saturation. The general public didn't need another Star Wars movie six months after the last one, and so they're just not that interested.

It's a shame because The Last Jedi and Solo have both received good reviews. (91% and 71% respectively).

So, this isn't a Phantom Menace/Attack of the Clones disaster. But those films made vastly more amounts of money because Star Wars was a rarer commodity at the time.

Lucasfilm and Disney may have miscalculated on releasing the anthology films at the same time as the main saga films. Solo probably should have been pushed back to December like Rogue One.

Not as good as Rogue One, but much better than VII and vastly better than VIII. And certainly better than I, II and III.

Hammock Parties 06-04-2018 08:53 PM

The only thing that Rogue One has over Solo is Vader. Cheap trick.

I like the characters and performances a lot more in Solo. Larry Kasdan can write the **** out of a film.

I think the timing is bad, and this is also a "**** you" from the fans for Ep. 8.

Is it a "**** you" or.an " I don't give a **** anymore"? After reading about 8 I find myself more in the latter.

Gadzooks 06-04-2018 09:54 PM

The whole family is holding out for Solo to be released on Netflix and It's not like we're looking forward to it.
It's a sad state of affairs for this franchise.
