But probably only when compared to other SW movies. It's not like it was a bad movie, or even didn't make them any money...

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

It was a forgettable movie

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

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

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

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

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.
