The issue with many business decisions is the short terms gains benefit the people making such decisions, while long term plans benefit the future. Star Wars appeal was it was an event for many. Now? It's just another major release within a sea of them. The idea that a Han Solo movie would lose to a Deadpool movie just four years ago would have been unthinkable.
I think a knock on effect will be other studios will no longer fear Star Wars. It use to be you avoided going up against such a cinematic juggernaut and gave it the first two weeks to dominate. Now I could see another studio putting a major release the same weekend as Obi Wan or Boba Fett movie to see if they can beat it.

Don't forget how well Jumanji did right around TLJ release as well. Star Wars definitely will be facing more competition moving forward

Yep. Jumanji released one week after TLJ and completely trounced it in Jan.
