Apparently Fox are being very petty in some markets, specially Chile

 

That's somewhat hilarious to be sure.

 

Wonder how the Champions League Final will affect Solo Saturday in Europe, its a heavily watched event and the UK has a rooting interest this time for a change.

Idk, I probably sound like a terrible person but if the school bully showed a weakness at recess, little me would try to exploit it.

This feels so much like The Good Dinosaur, a director switch midway through, a promo campaign which was good but nothing memorable, reviews basically saying "It's fine and fun" and the final leg of marketing being overshadowed by marketing for another of the studio's tentpoles. Let's see if the box office turns out the same way.

The promo campaign wasn't good though. It's Disney's worst marketing campaign since John Carter. Maybe even worse.

Fox currently looking at markets where Deadpool 2 and Solo are close and getting the DP2 tickets discounted

To be fair, when's the last tentpole that absolutely collapsed last minute and looked to drop into possible bomb territory?  It's gotta be JL, right, b/c TLJ made bank, even if it fell off fast, and AWIT just didn't have a big enough budget or care from this board to matter...

Being a big bomb is not enough, it has to be a big #brand too to get this board apoplectic. We are in rarefied air

Woah. Never really thought of that comp. Not to mention a studio “Pixar/Lucasfilm” that was previously thought to be untouchable at the box office

The world is rejecting a Star Wars movie like if it is Transformers 5 or Justice League. The thinkpieces being written about Star Wars fatigue will be amazing to read on Monday.

Lucasfilm going into the week-end

I do wonder why Disney bothers with Memorial Day, it hasn't worked for them for a long time.

There simply wasn't enough of a gap between TLJ and Solo.

What about all the think pieces saying Star Wars has moved on to a great future 6 months ago?

Solo ain’t even the best Ron Howard thing coming out tomorrow
