| WolfpackN64 said: 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.

The same author said that, to him, anything below $1.4 billion would be an under-performance with $1.6-1.7 billion being more preferable. According to The Numbers, the final box office is below that figure. That same site also shows total domestic sales bringing less than half of the amount The Force Awakens brought in. According to The Wall Street Journal, the film fell $200 million short of some analysts' forecasts and cited "faster-than-expected falloff at the box office, declining toy sales, and a poor showing in China". Article from outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter and CNBC echoes WSJ's statements about the declining toy sales, implying a consensus. As a result, I wouldn't call the performance 'stellar' or 'massive' unless you're talking about in a vacuum.
