Solo's box office will end up too small to be considered a smashing success but too large to be considered a massive failure. And therefore, it will engender countless back-and-forth arguments that will convince nobody of the "error" of their ways...

So as I said for weeks Solo is pretty much Ghostbusters 2016 all over again.

But Justice League was not only a "blockbuster Flop" if we're going by your definition, it was a real flop that lost WB money (50M or so if i remember correctly). Solo will be the same by the looks of it.

That is according to Deadline's "sources", we will never know. Personally I very much doubt that studios lose money in the long run on a $500m+ blockbuster (but a short-term loss is bad enough), and EC seems to say that is also true if Solo reaches that number.

Not really.

And you still have no proof that it will gross only 500 million WW.

Like I said, it will be the worst kind of BO run: too small to silence the stans and too large to silence the detractors.

The detractors will absolutely win this one, can't spin that OS number. Domestic, we'll see.

LF is not happy (how could they be?) so we are getting all these Boba/OB1 announcements today to show that they are so confident in their spin-offs, nothing to worry about. hilarious. Those announcements are always issued after the movie opens big, so they clearly want to distract from this flop. 

wow! Disney been copying government tactics of manufacturing consent! evilevilevil

Solo's OS run will end up being one of the most disastrous blockbuster runs ever for the 21st century. 

 

LMFAO to say its run is putrid is an understatement. The fact that JW2 is going to annihilate it next weekend just makes things more pathetic for it. 

Is JW2 going to open in OS markets next week? Has Hollywood gone completely retarded? 4 mega movies within the space of 5-6 weeks? 

 

As for Solo, it's not just about turning profit or not. This is a Star Wars movie we are talking about, anything below mega-blockbuster level is a failure.

Runtimes without credits and trailer attachments for next week:

 

Upgrade: 1:34. Attachments are Unfriended and The First Purge.

Adrift: 1:31. Attachments are Mile 22 and Peppermint.

Action Point: 1:16. Attachment is Mission Imoossible.

 

Lmfao, Action Point is only 76 minutes??? :hahaha:

Reeks of The DARK UNIVERSE  or whatever that was called :blink:

It's possible cinematic universes have to be earned through the fanbase, from the ground up.  Earned, not just purchased by acquiring a brand and doing with it as you please.  There are many ways in which Marvel could've screwed up the MCU, fortunately they didn't.  They retained and even expanded their fanbase without turning off the GA at the same time.  Really remarkable.

If even half the movies internet forums said lost money actually lost money, Hollywood would have vanished decades ago.

Have you seen that Wednesday and Thursday drop :ph34r:

Domestically it flew past its budget in a few days, it is doing very well overseas (beating Solo this week in most countries...). It is already a huge success for FOX, the only danger for eventual sequels is the Mouse.

 

So what is there to worry about now, that it will decrease from Deadpool? It was always likely, D1 was a low-budget box office phenomenon, D2 can decrease and should still be considered a huge hit.

 

(And most importantly for us, it is a great movie)

UPDATE, 10:47AM: Industry estimates this morning are pegging around $33M today for Disney Solo: A Star Wars Story with a $80M-$90M three-day and $105M-$115M play over four days. That’s a very early read on opening figures, which do not come from Disney. We could see a different picture by tonight.

 

 

It’s a bittersweet result: On the plus side, it’s a bit of an uptick for a Memorial Day event film at the B.O. after the holiday has been in the doldrums for quite some time (the last big debut for the holiday was X-Men: Days of Future Past four years ago with $110M), but on the down side it’s the lowest opening for a Disney Star Wars pic out of four — and it’s lower than the last 20th Century Fox release, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith ($108.4M 3-day, $158.4M Thursday-Sunday take). On a three day basis, Solo is 45% lower than what Disney/Lucasfilm’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story cleared with a $155M opening, $71M on its opening day.

 

 

As a reference, Warner Bros.’ Justice League made $38.4M on its first day, $93.8M over three, and while it wasn’t a four-day opening, it grossed $101.3M from Friday-Monday.

20th Century Fox’s Deadpool 2 is certainly chipping away at Solo with a $12.5M Friday, $40M-$45M 3-day and $52M-$57M 4-day. On the high end that’s at $221.7M.

Disney’s own Avengers: Infinity War is looking at a $19M-$21M four-day, while Paramount’s Book Club is projected with a $10M-$12M 4-day.

It is the definition of a disastrous performance. No way to spin it otherwise.

And 500m WW is maybe optimistic.
