Solo is on top of the worldwide box office and it’s a flop?! WOW! Explain that one to me.
Is this sarcasm?
I hope it is, because the movie landed on its face, under-performed like crazy and continues to make less and less money.
It has a shot at maybe having some domestic legs (Incredibles 2 and JW2 aren’t gonna let that happen, but for the sake of argument), but it has flopped hard overseas and if history serves it isn’t likely to magically pick up.
When Disney themselves and crew members are acknowledging it, there’s a real issue.
Given the inflated production costs due to re-shooting almost the entire film you’re probably looking at 600 mill to break even.
Breaking even isn’t good enough.
I like the film but it has flopped. I wish it didn’t, but it has.
We’re basically seeing a Justice League 2.0 at the box office.
