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

It was a forgettable movie

Not a very high bar right there

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

I’m biased. I think solo is by far the best character is Star Wars

It's a good movie

Perhaps Disney is seeing what they did to the brand with TLJ

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

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

6/11/18 2:12pm

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

Domestically showman was 173. That’s what I’m referring to

They still haven't learned the lesson that George refused to acknowledge with

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

And yet they keep blaming the alt-right for not accepting the new "diversity"

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

They shouldn't have released it so close to Avengers and Deadpool 2
