This film is tracking poorly. I wonder how much of that is bad PR, how much is TLJ carryover, how much is fatigue and how much is people just not caring about this film?

Worry what it will do to future stand-alone, let alone a SOLO sequel.

“Poorly” is a relative term.

I think it’s just reverting to a more normal blockbuster performance than SW is recently used to. The numbers are in line with the high end of average Marvel solo (heh) outings. Difference is with SW you had this pent up demand that made the first few movies upfront make a lot of money (Rogue One waaaay over performed), whereas Marvel slowly built up the demand.

Bigger reasons than the ones you mentioned would be massive competition, and a short window between the release of this and TLJ.
