It's simple. Disney fucked up by not doing December. These same numbers would coast to 400+ in that period.
It says a lot to having a Han Solo film WITHOUT FUCKING HAN SOLO that this is still doing huge numbers.Disney really dropped the ball marketing this time out too (The reshoots took a lot of the marketing budget, I haven't seen a single spot on TV)
This won't hurt the brand in any way.. This movie doing 280-310 was my first prediction. It's falling right in line. How do you expect it to reach $280m? Its 4-day will be about $110m from there it needs 2.6 multiplier (of a 4-day weekend). I think a sub-$250m might be more likely for it.

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story - WTF WENT WRONG?!!!!!!!!
Yeah sub $250M is happening especially with an opening under $100M. I had a bad feeling about this film from the start and even though I know the SW fanbase is pretty loyal the weak trailer views should have told us that many weren't interested in this. A Han Solo movie without Ford just doesn't make sense and isn't appealing to general audiences.

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story - WTF WENT WRONG?!!!!!!!!
I believe Disney thought that this would work being the spin-off of original trilogies biggest character as that would also give a longer gap between SW movies for EP9's release

Can't we just blame this on that Aiden prick and call it a day?

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story - WTF WENT WRONG?!!!!!!!!
It's definitely the cast of Aiden for sure. If it would have been someone more charismatic or that sits well with the audience this could have done better.

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story - WTF WENT WRONG?!!!!!!!!
It's pretty insane if they thought they would have been able to do a young han solo trilogy. Has this ever worked, I definitely think it's not often attempted, of the iconic character in it's young years by a different actor.

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story - WTF WENT WRONG?!!!!!!!!
Bad choice to give Rogue One the Force Awakens afterglow slot when it had no chance of a sequel. Solo probably makes 500 mil in that spot and creates a franchise

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story - WTF WENT WRONG?!!!!!!!!
I don't think Solo would have made a franchise regardless of the switch in release date. SW won't work most likely as MCU chugging 2 movies an year.

It's gonna make 700+ WW I mean hey the guy had to be not Harrison Ford. And he is extremely likable. The movie is just so meh. I'm disappointed mostly because we got a Han solo movie, and learned absolutely nothing about him. Give me an hour, I would have written a better movie.

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story - WTF WENT WRONG?!!!!!!!!
40% Shitty casting for solo 30% no jedi or sith 20% no one wanted a solo movie. 10% the last Jedi sucked hard and other middling factors
Oversaturation is a middling factor.

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story - WTF WENT WRONG?!!!!!!!!
I don't think over saturation is a middling factor for such HUGE franchise. Its OW might be driven by fans but there are definitely tons of GA(non fans) which didn't show up for this and too close release date along with competition played a big part

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story - WTF WENT WRONG?!!!!!!!!
Let the good times roll!
I think it comes down to, why the fuck are they making a prequel Solo movie with a wooden actor?
There's pointless and there's Solo.

A "Lando" movie would have had solid SJW buzz at least
