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.

By every metric, the film underperformed.  When the safe bet is, at the very minimum, $750M at the DBO, which would have meant $1.66B WW, but you can't even match that, it underperformed.  Of course, the max safe bet (which is what Disney really wants to hit) was $830M, meaning it would have done $1.83B WW.  Then, when analysts have to readjust their predictions, stating it will still hit ~$1.6B WW, but you still fall short of that, it's just pathetic. Then, Bluray sales were half that of Force Awakens.  And they obviously turned off a big portion of your fanbase, cause they aren't buying your merch anymore.  Next, your film is followed by a flop that wiped out much of the profit you made from TLJ.  Again, a big disappointment for Disney.

The fact that you saw no SJW messaging around Solo shows me all I need to know.  Fans made it clear they were unhappy about the SJW bot in the film, as well as the writer injecting identity politics into the film by suddenly making Lando pansexual.  They were belittled and bashed on social media by Lucasfilm. Lucasfilm didn't care about their fans but rather appeasing other SJWs, which, for some reason, they think are either in the majority or are supported by the majority. Surprise Surprise, SJWs a hit movie, do not make.  Now, you can continue to stick your head in the sand and pretend that SJW politics injected into every franchise won't hurt it's sales, but we will continue to see the results and know the truth.
