Solo without the "Han" seems cheap IMO.

... still nothing yet.

I think it'd be something if they just release the film with no pre-footage whatsoever.

I think they want The Last Jedi to wrap up its run before starting the marketing campaign. Maybe a Superbowl spot will be the first time we see footage?

No no no. This is not doing less than 450, maybe even higher. I sure wish they had released a teaser or something with TLJ. Shute. What are they gonna attach it to now? Black Panther? It's not that far away now.

This will do less than Rogue One. Maybe around the same opening but with much weaker legs.

I guess 40 years of Star Wars in popular culture is marketing enough!

I'm surprised there hadn't been a trailer with TLJ. I guess they could still push it back to December to avoid over-saturation.

They need to seriously consider delaying this. We are at the end of the year and still no teaser trailer or anything. I get that they want to avoid some confusion with TLJ, but Han Solo is its own thing and I'm sure enough of the Star Wars fans will know the difference. If they wait until Superbowl/BP that would be really late IMO.

I guess the trailer will be up with BLACK PANTHER...

Nobody under 35 gives a fuck about Han Solo, which is a prob

That’s not true.

But nobody asked for a Han Solo origin story.

Crazy that they didn't have a trailer to attach to Jedi. I personally don't care about the movie but it is nice to see an event movie actually releasing on Memorial weekend again.

Chewbacca won't be as popular as Disney thinks he is. This will disappoint. Under $400m for certain.

I’m 30, most of my younger friends love him.

Do you honestly expect me to hang out with someone who doesn’t like ford? I have a 5 film system just for relationships, and only one stars him, and it might surprise you

Post subject:  Re: Solo predictions (05/25/18)

Well, there's a difference between Ford and Solo. I would agree with Excel that nobody really cares about Han Solo under 35.

Post subject:  Re: Solo predictions (05/25/18)

Sure, people under 35 will see it. People see films they don't care for all the time purely because they are big blockbuster films and they don't want to miss out. Plus, that's what marketing is for ... to convince you that you do in fact care for something that you really do not.

The one potential chink in the amour is if the new guy playing Han Solo seems completely unbelievable from the trailers.

He means if he looks unbelievable when the trailers are released.

I have a hard time seeing its 4-day being under 175m. Rogue One did 172m 4-day without a holiday boost and with the December slot that inevitably allows people to wait to go see it. With a Memorial Day slot, people are going to be more incentivize to see it on OW. So not surpassing RO 4-day seems a minimum to me.


Rogue 1 was still only the 2nd Star Wars film in 11 years.

Solo is the 4th in 3 and 1/2 years.

Crowded May. Too close to TLJ as Ep8 will still be in theaters. Divided WOM will sour SW in the minds of some.

I’m going to say $430-$470m. Let’s say $450. Hope it’s $550m though.

As much as I love the Memotoal Day slot having a high profile film released on it - this just has to move to December.

IMDBs most anticipated of 2018 list had Solo in 10th which is terrible. Granted with Tomb Raider and Pacific Rim in 5th and 6th the list is suspect but this is not a good sign.

Where on earth is ANYTHING about this film? This is crazy. Four months to go and there's nada.

Why did they release a frigging Ant-Man and the Wasp trailer before this?

There's the possibility they might show it in tv spot form during the Superbowl, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. They really need to get the ball rolling on the marketing for this movie though.
