It honestly was that bad and turned off that many fans that a good offering in Solo is struggling a lot more than it normally would.

FWIW - It was still a fun and entertaining movie and will do well on streaming

True. Can’t believe it got 91% on rotten tomatoes

Well the fans scored it at 40 something %. Has there ever been such a discrepancy between fans and critics?

TLJ turned into a political battle. Movie critics tend to lean one way

There's some experts out there that believe Solo was mostly hurt by terrible marketing

If it's a decent movie word of mouth will make it successful

Crush4

Not for the kind of numbers they need for a billion in sales

correct. See - The Greatest Showman

and yet, Solo will have much much bigger box office sales

Showman grossed $433.1M worldwide. Solo is unlikely to break $400M.

Best Star Wars movie outside the trilogy. They are really trying hard to lose

I thought it was really fun. Disney needs to just give more space between offerings or figure out different styles.

Good movie. It's kind of funny that people see it as a flop

Disney only cares about box office and merchandising
