Disney spent $4 billion on Lucasfilm plus the cost of 4 Star Wars movies since then. With toy sales also being sluggish, I doubt they’ve recouped their investment yet and I guarantee the return on Solo has somebody at Disney upset.

The first three films grossed

$2,068,223,624
$1,056,057,273
$1,332,539,889

Minus cost of making those, plus home sales, plus related everything else, I bet they’ve recouped their investment.

If those films cost on average about 500,000,000 dollars each, then I doubt that they recouped their investment, especially if you add the money they lost on Solo. I don’t know what their toy sales are like or how much of that money goes straight to Lucasfilm, so I can’t speak to that, but there’s no way that they recouped their investment based on those films, not unless home video sales have made them over a billion dollars.
