Production budget on Solo was $275, but marketing is usually close to whatever the production budget was, which would put the total cost of Solo somewhere around $550m. Solo made enough money to offset the production budget, but almost certainly didn't offset the marketing deficit. It could turn around once DVD sales come into play, but it doesn't really change the fact that it's still officially the worst-received Star Wars film ever in terms of financials, which may terrify Disney, since they want to milk this franchise for all its worth for decades to come. If audiences as a whole are already souring on it, they may need to do some major course correction. That doesn't necessarily mean firing Kennedy, though. A good enough salvage job on Episode IX might be enough - which is why they brought JJ Abrams back into the mix. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
