Parking Lot report: 

@MrPink got all excited when he saw that Interstellar had returned to theaters only to find out it in fact did not.

How the hell can you guys see which movies are there? Is my eyesight that poor? 

 

For the last few months my profile pic hasn't been wearing glasses. I wanted to look cool to impress a boy I like

The thing I did not understand was the advertising for Solo. It just seemed like a spoof.

On the plus side he won't have to see Big Hero 6 make more money again.

Disney managed to make Star Wars not feel special anymore. Congratulations.

What's with the media and major box office sites being so bullish onthis movie.

Nah. they should make a Jabba spinoff

Lucasfilm presents the origin story you've all been craving for. Jabba is a scrawny and feisty lizard who is determined to make a name for himself in the galaxy. Joining a ragtag team of rapscallions who survive on minor hits and robberies, he develops a bond with one of the group's more lively characters - the volatile Salacious B. Crumb (voiced by Josh Brolin). Jabba rises through the ranks of the gang and becomes a Hutt, the most feared title of the planet. Witness the beginning of his eating disorder! Discover the roots of his gold bikini fetish! Find out exactly what his favorite brand of smoke is! Lucasfilm has all the answers you've been dying to find out ever since you first laid eyes on him.

That’s really not good, unless this somehow turns out to be much more backloaded than typical star wars

Fourth year in a row the Memorial Day weekend opener(s) is largely looking to be a non-event. Aladdin is certain to change that next year, though.

Memorial Day is cursed, Aladdin is going to be overshadowed by TLK and top out around 200m like Cinderella

[That One Girl]

Anyway guys less than 2 months until Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again arrives in theaters WOO HYPE TRAIN

[eddyxx]

Deadpool should have a pretty good drop this weekend with no major openers opening this week.

[YM!]

If there’s something to learn from this, hopefully Disney won’t do a Star Wars movie every year anymore and Memorial Day doesn’t work for them (Aladdin is next, thinking possibly sub $300M).

[The Panda]

This is still going to end up being the biggest Memorial Day since 2013 or something.  But that isn’t saying much.

[Daxtreme]

It's in times like these that you realize how good Kevin Feige actually is. He really knows what people want, before they do. He's been playing the long game since the beginning.

 

Seems to me like Lucasfilm is just throwing stuff at the wall right now.

It's a bad weekend to release a major tentpole.  I don't understand why Disney was so arrogant about keeping it here.

 

This will be the 1st SW movie we haven't seen twice opening weekend.  My kid has finals tomorrow so no show tonight... because Mondays a holiday I'll be working late Friday so no show then... and we have family & friend plans on Monday.  It's such a busy weekend that if it wasn't SW I wouldn't see any movie at all.

 

Hopefully it'll have strong weekdays and good legs overall... it doesn't sound like a bad movie.

If anything it speaks about how much of a "non event", Memorial Day weekend has become in terms of films.

Pirates 3 is gonna need someone to pry its opening record from its cold, dead, Depp hands.
