A 66% drop is devastating for a movie that made 84 million its first weekend.

77%. It had a miserable 2nd Friday

Wow Solo is actually doing much worse than I thought. It still hasn't reached its budget and it looks like Solo won't even be in the top 10 highest grossing movies this year worldwide, which is unheard of for a Star Wars movie.

I like how Lucasfilm employees are continuing to double down with insulting fans in spite of this failure.

Seriously? Do you have a source showing them doing that? I want to take a look.

What was he reacting to? Because alone, there's nothing at all wrong with those Tweets.

If you look at his Twitter, you'll notice his "About Me" accuses Star Wars fans as being insufferable. Much of what he's been saying has been relatively unprovoked.

Nothing wrong with his tweets? Not trying to question your mod judgment, but are you suggesting that if someone said those things in here about the people not liking this film, it would be OK? Cause I'm pretty sure they would get moderated. And trust me, these guys are having a meltdown and generalizing everyone because their assumptions that the vast majority of people are like them are being shattered.

Interesting. From what I looked up about him, he wrote the Star Wars Aftermath books. 



So Fri estimates are in and Solo only made $8.15M. BOM was expecting a drop of 64.5%, but now think it could be larger. It's DBO total is now $127.75M, or 47.8% below RO. If this holds Solo will make $277.8M. If the FBO percentage holds it will make $456.9M WW.

Star Wars fans are some of the most insufferable on the planet, for a variety of reasons. I say this as a gigantic Star Wars fan.

This is why context is key and I asked to see what he was replying to.

Considering Aftermath released during the Kathleen Holocaust and would have requires Lucasfilm approval, I'm considering him a Lucasfilm employee. If you want to get nitpicky, I'll admit he isn't a legitimate employee. But he did write more of the new Star Wars than you or I.
