CNN: Is 'Solo' suffering from 'Star Wars' fatigue? on May 25, 14:39
Or telling stories audiences care about. Solo is a great character, but one brought to life by Ford. on May 25, 14:40
Precisely, a sentiment shared in the article for those not wishing to read the entire thing... on May 25, 14:42
But don't you see; they have to mine it for all it's worth until we're all completely sick of it. That's how it works! Don't confuse em'! {nm} on May 25, 14:51
I agree with her. I've never been a big SW guy, but it used to be special, now they're churning them out every year. on May 25, 15:06
Telling stories that we already how the end {nm} on May 25, 14:57
oh no!!! chewie is hanging outside the train and a big rock is coming... I hope he makes it. {nm} on May 25, 15:06
Prequel fatigue in general, we want ORIGINAL ideas, characters with unknown outcomes. {nm} on May 25, 15:31
Thanks to rian johnsons Jedi movie Star Wars is going downhill from here on May 25, 15:44
Jeff Sneider is joining Collider on May 25, 13:10

TheWrap:Sesame Workshop Sues Over ‘Happytime Murders Trailer. No Sesame. All Street Brand Confusion. on May 25, 12:11
Most likely they'll just wind up forcing STX to release a new trailer and poster to remove the tagline, which they probably would do anyway on May 25, 12:16
It says “no sesame”. Not sure how much clearer they can be {nm} on May 25, 12:31
Some people may think Sesame Street producers are making an adult version of Sesame Street. Brand confusion. {nm} on May 25, 12:38
I know, I'm just making jokes :) {nm} on May 25, 13:16
Early DL Projections: SWAR2 $80-90m 3-Day, $105-115m 4-Day. Figures not from Disney. on May 25, 11:10
Before 11 AM Pacific. Someone wants to start the weekend early. {nm} on May 25, 11:13
"Industry estimates" in this case probably means guesses at the preview:OD ratio, not anything based on admissions so far {nm} on May 25, 11:17
No, the midday update is always based on early Fri admissions. {nm} on May 25, 11:20
So, the Soylo soycott is working! And we'll do the same for any Obey Women Kenobi and Boba Femme films too! (jk) on May 25, 11:42
The bigots and the backward don't win in America. Looking at you, disaffected right-wing yahoos. on May 25, 13:40
Could be a lot of sad faces on Tuesday with that OW figure. {nm} on May 25, 12:06
I will be very happy. {nm} on May 25, 12:58
+1 {nm} on May 25, 13:34
I like lots of free money too {nm} on May 25, 14:11
THR update: SWAR2 $80 million-$90 million 3-day / $105 million-$110 million 4-day on May 25, 13:07
It looks boring. {nm} on May 25, 15:46
Holy cow, what a disaster. {nm} on May 25, 13:42
I can only hope that if it does disappoint, they'll re-think these spin-off movies. {nm} on May 25, 13:49
they paid $4 billion for Lucasfilm and have multiple trilogies and TV shows in development. Solo is not going to change anything {nm} on May 25, 13:55
There will be impact, but what exactly it manifests as is up in the air. {nm} on May 25, 14:04
stop trying to fit the films to conform with Disney's rigorous release schedule would be a good start {nm} on May 25, 14:05
Re-think how to do them, maybe. But they'll keep making them because getting it right will earn them a lot a lot of money. on May 25, 14:01
i think KK and JJ rushed into the whole development process way too fast. should have taken a lot more time on all of them, but Disney don't on May 25, 14:05
(like, it took Marvel five years and multiple standalones just to work up to the first Avengers) {nm} on May 25, 14:07
But we are The House of Mouse! We can always do it faster and more profitably!! (Especially after someone else has shown us how.) {nm} on May 25, 15:11
V: Fri $32M; 4-day $110M on May 25, 13:56

International $11.4M in two days plus $3.3M in China on May 25, 09:01
DL's similar international article for Rogue One was $33M on May 25, 09:08
And in the same article it says TFA made $72.7 in the first 2 days¡ Haha {nm} on May 25, 09:42
Had a lot more families come out last night than expected, so hopefully its Saturday will see a softer drop. {nm} on May 25, 09:05
THR: SWAR2 $14.1M on May 25, 08:23
It's Disney so gotta think the estimates will be on the conservative side. {nm} on May 25, 08:37
It's not going to be that far off. {nm} on May 25, 08:49
New traailer for Christopher Robin [WINPO] on May 25, 08:17
DL: Production begins December 3. Danny Boyle is now set to direct [JB25]. Domestic distribution will be handled by MGM and Annapurna. on May 24, 20:29
D: Deadline sources (not Disney) are estimating $13m-$15m for Solo previews on May 24, 18:25
JL made 13M in previews, only went on to earn 93.8M for OW... called it. Soycott is on. The fans are speaking.... {nm} on May 24, 19:01
Can someone please ban this ****? {nm} on May 24, 19:38
+1 {nm} on May 24, 20:34
He’s not wrong, this is looking like a colossal disappointment. {nm} on May 24, 20:40
How? It looks like it will open with more than $100 million domestically. on May 25, 03:46
"Top 10 Memorial Day Opener" is a really low bar for success given that it's a major tentpole film. {nm} on May 25, 08:27
That's at worse. It's likely top 3. Is that still a low bar? {nm} on May 25, 08:38
Yes I would say so. This movie cost $250 million and yet it might not beat an X-Men movie from 12 years ago. on May 25, 10:56
How would you define colossal disappointment? {nm} on May 25, 05:16
<150 poor <140 bad <125 colossal <110 franchise killing {nm} on May 25, 07:02
This is all sorts of wrong. {nm} on May 25, 08:25
Solo's 4-day making less than Rogue One's 3-day is poor and bad. {nm} on May 25, 08:37
It's going to make a profit, even after being almost entire reshoot. It's a success. {nm} on May 25, 08:42
I don't know. $250M production plus another $100M+ in marketing. {nm} on May 25, 08:47
Studios don’t make movies to barely clear a profit, they have an expected rate of return. {nm} on May 25, 12:33
In whose terms, though. Yours or disney's? Because as long as it makes over $800m worldwide it's a profitable film {nm} on May 25, 08:44
It's looking like under $400M for domestic. Double that for WW is $800M.. {nm} on May 25, 08:52
I 2nd this! {nm} on May 24, 20:43
Ban for truth? The previous film is having a big negative effect on the current film {nm} on May 24, 20:48
No, banned for being a Nazi. on May 25, 03:42
Couldn't care less about whether he is right or wrong. No reason to give a platform to someone is regularly racist and uses inflammatory on May 25, 07:30
this. {nm} on May 25, 08:01
Exactly. on May 25, 08:29
+3 on May 24, 21:06
I agree. It's pointless, causes unnecessary drama, and does zero to benefit this (or ANY) community. He's constantly toxic for the sake of on May 24, 23:44
How about speaking in English? You are en elf......uncontrollably...i think.....the bcott is on....boarde has spoken...toldya!! {nm} on May 25, 00:33
using XMEN7 79.8/8.2 = 9.73 x 13-15 = 126-146 4-day. on May 24, 19:28
I meant XMEn6 {nm} on May 24, 19:30
Ep7 had a 3-day:Preview multi of 4.35; Ep8 was 4.89; R1 was 5.35. I have a hard time seeing Solo get up to Xmen's level, 8.0 on May 24, 20:11
Avg it 4.86 x 15=72.9 that'd be devastating... There is a push to support Deadpool 2 as to stick it to Disney.... if on May 24, 20:31
fake news {nm} on May 24, 20:35
Solo has a Sunday within a holiday weekend. {nm} on May 24, 20:36
Those numbers are highly doubtful XMEN6 is the best comparison. {nm} on May 24, 20:50
Memorial Day vs. Christmas Holiday release. You can't compare the two. on May 25, 03:45
Pirates did more than 11x its previews for the 3-day, seems like a poor comparison for star wars IMO {nm} on May 25, 07:27
X-Men: Apocalypse did 8x over 3 days. ... on May 25, 08:31
Ouch.. That is surprising {nm} on May 24, 19:31
Whatever the **** happens at the box office this weekend I really enjoyed this movie. A solid addition to the franchise. {nm} on May 24, 20:23
It was fantastic!!! {nm} on May 24, 20:35
The film is good, i've really enjoyed it, but i will be glad if it tanks at least in the OW. Kathleen Kennedy needs to be out soon. {nm} on May 24, 20:56
Because.... ? {nm} on May 24, 22:35
She's a successful woman... on May 25, 03:47
Because she hates the fan base, because she turn the franchise into a SJW agenda, and because she sucks at managing. She sucks {nm} on May 25, 07:22
I don't care if she's a man, a woman, gay, trans, or a robot, she's terrible at her job. She received the biggest franchise in history and.. on May 25, 07:25
except she didnt. 3 films $4.4B ww, which is hey look $1B more than the prequel trilogy did ww adjusted! {nm} on May 25, 08:26
THE THREE FILMS UNDER HER WING HAVE EARNED $2 BILLION DOMESTICALLY. on May 25, 08:27
Toy sales down 80%....Toys selling for 3 cents!!!!! SW on clearance all over... Video games underselling by hundreds of millions... {nm} on May 25, 09:31

Deadline hears that Mangold’s Logan producer Simon Kinberg is still attached to the Boba Fett project at Disney. on May 24, 16:36
Boba Fett could become the third spin-off [SWAR3] as no writers working on a script for Obi-Wan Kenobi. on May 24, 15:48
and EMCGR seemingly noncommittal to signing on. {nm} on May 24, 15:53
