is this a serious guess based off of some data somewhere or just a hunch?

Serious numbers, he has access to insider data.

I don't why people are freaking out, 24-26M is an expected number. If it does 26M it would be actually pretty good. That's how new openers behave on Memorial Day weekend. Increase 10-20% on Saturday, drop 10-15% on Sunday and then drop a further 10-20% on Monday.

 

Taking 25M into consideration, Solo should be doing 22M on Sunday and 19M on Monday for a 4 day weekend of 101-102M. I know the 4 day weekend is bad but Saturday number w.r.t Friday is not.

[Deathlife]

That’s a very disappointing saturday range.

 

Might just squeak past $100 million 4 day. That cant mask thr fact that this is a massive disappointment. Perhaps Lucasfilm should have allowed Lord/Miller do their thing because playing it safe here just seemed to create audience apathy.

[Legion Again]

I don’t understand the reaction to these numbers. True Friday was 21.5. Sat increases on MW are muted, 10% was possible. This range is an 11.6-20.9% increase. It’s literally above my expectations.

Note the reactions are from the same people who constantly run around yelling dooooooooom! and it gets a lot easier to understand.

You don't understand the reaction to a 250mil Star Wars movie barely cracking 100mil on a 4 day Holiday weekend?

The hope was for the Friday to be anomalous and good WoM kicking in to get an elevated sat. 26 M is good for a Star wars Saturday?

[Hunch]

So it's doing less than Doctor Strange for the 3-day?

No, but it's good for a Memorial Day opener which typically increase about 10% from Friday proper. 26  is a 23% bump. Not that I think it's hitting 26 mind you.

People spinning a good Saturday bc Friday was atrocious. These numbers suck all the way around.

26M is a disaster for a Star Wars movie, but we already knew this movie’s financials were a disaster. It’s baked in. We knew there would be an awful Saturday when we saw the awful preview number+true Friday. In the context of those two, 26M is a better than expected number.       

 

I am personally expecting it closer to 24, which would basically change nothing.

because those that root for it secretly hope for a higher numbers, and those that don't are playing drama kings/queens?

I guess the backloadness you were talking about finally coming to life... We had no reason to worry after the preview number.

Why is it okay for these boards to root against certain films but not films made by Disney? I wish people were against rooting against any film to fail just so that they wouldn't be so darn hypocritical right now.

Sure, but, like...   these numbers are so medium. If you wanted the numbers to be good, there’s not much to make a fuss about, because the top end is medium good. If you wanted the numbers to be especially bad, there’s not much to fuss about, because the low end is medium bad.           

 

25+/-1 is just about the most boring Sat projection we could have gotten (though of course I still appreciate @EmpireCity giving it to us — confirms neither an anomalously good or bad Sat increase).

[Istealnames]

Folks irritated by the "doom and gloom" should replace Solo in their posts with Justice League and see if it sounds like a snyderboy's tears of denial before posting.

What the hell are you on about? This doesn't even  make sense.
