That seems unlikely. I heard it only needs $500m to break even, so anything beyond that is pure profit. I can't see the movie pulling in less than $700m (plus more on the DVD/blu-ray/digital release and merchandise), so it stands to make a nice profit for Disney. I don't see Solo's performance affecting their plans for future character based anthology movies much, if at all. I think Disney realizes the lower than expected performance is largely because they released it too close to Avengers and Deadpool, so if Solo's performance has any effect at all, it will be to convince them to pick their release dates more carefully in the future, and maybe to convince them to have slightly smaller budgets on future character based anthology movies. 

The production budget might have been up to $300 million dollars so it needs to make about $600 million dollars to just break even.  At least its not going to be Disney's worst flop this year that one already happened with A Wrinkle In Time.

Ya, I think it will need between 500 million to 600 million from the box office. I think this will be one of those it will be successful but not fully successful from the box office (Similar to Justice League). This has the benefit of being spinoff, which is easy to recover from. 

However with films like these (any of the Star Wars Stories films) I think it is more Disney really wants to turn create synergy with the other parts of Disney, namely Hollywood studios which I believe is the weakest of the four parks.
