1. It hardly has all the downvotes and highly rated comments pertaining to the woman and EA's reaction to it, simply due to it being "confusing." 3. Profit? Yes. The amount they were planning on? No. Not even close. And no, I didn't pull it out of nowhere. The movie was supposed to pull in ~$1.8B WW, possibly more. BOM said that $750M-$830M in the US/Canada was a safe bet. And judging by the opening weekend, it was headed there. But, then the 2nd weekend saw a massive 68% drop. After the drop, analysts were saying it would still hit $1.6B WW. It missed even the adjusted goal. Of course, there's also the fact that Disney saw a massive drop in SW merchandise sales. Then, many fans protested Solo, partly because of its own SJW messaging, but also because of how much TLJ turned them off from the series, which led to the first ever SW flop. And not even a minor flop, either. My pessimistic projection for that film was ~$800M WW. It only did half of that. Like they say. Get woke, go broke. |
By all metrics the movie performed stellar and Blu-Ray sales were massive. But when you get your projections from conspiracy theories, no wonder you pull $1.8B numbers out of nowhere.
And what SJW message in Solo? Solo flopped because of its poor launch window. That's the end of it.
