Facts are facts, and the box office totals ... just goes to show how you can spin that anyway you want.
Solo was a shitty concept from the get go (thanks Lucas) and wouldn't have done big business even 7 months after The Force Awakens when Star Wars fever was sky high. No one wants to see young versions of characters just for the sake of it being played by no name actors.
Disney got roped into making this because Lawrence Kasdan would only write The Force Awakens if he got to write this Solo movie. This is Lucas' idea and it's not surprising that it's not doing that well. The three other SW films they've gotten to make on their own all cleared 1 billion WW and are 3/4 highest grossing SW movies of the modern era.
