Maybe not as hard as Infinity War, but I feel a flop coming.

The name of Star Wars is to strong. The Fanboys. (not fans) will flock to it over and over even if it is trash.

The name itself will not let it flop. It will probably be the second worst grossing film in the series right next to the Clone Wars movie.

I suspect it won't sell nearly as well as Disney and Hollywood expects, but it'll still easily top the charts for a while.

Too many SW nerds for it to flop financially. I'm not contributing though, after Rouge One and TLJ I'm not seeing anymore SW movies in theaters. Disney can fuck off with the direction it has gone and yearly milkings.

I'm on the fence about seeing it, myself. There's a part of me that says "you have to see the new Star Wars, duh" but there's another part that says "this entire concept sucked from day one."

Thing is, Han Solo going from a scumbag to a hero was the entire point of his character, so you can't make him a hero in a prequel. Although, if this turns out to be a simple heist film or something along those lines, I could actually kinda go for that as long as there's no "Han Solo had this thing happen as a kid that turned him into a scumbag" scene. I mean this is straight-up "Marley was dead; he was dead to begin with" territory. Han was a scumbag. He was a scumbag to begin with.

The best SW movie since Battle for Endor and Caravan of Courage.

To answer the question, though, I have no idea.

The only people I see who hate it are turbovirgins on the internet.

Otherwise, people are either excited because it's Star Wars/Han Solo, or they stopped caring because Star Wars is no longer an "event".

So like, it won't flop but of course it isn't going to do TFA numbers.

I'm not going to predict one way or the other. I don't *want* it to flop, but if it does I hope it serves to notify Lucasfilm that they shouldn't coast along and make a film riding on a character and fun adventures alone and no actual meat to the plot.

That's just second-hand info I'm getting from other sources, though.

I hope it flops, underperforms, whatever, if only to prevent the Anthology of Pointless Prequels it will no doubt spawn if its very successful.

I really don't understand why people don't get that Star Wars is a "normie" thing and normies don't really give a shit about anything besides the fact it has Star Wars in the title.

It's the whole reason they need to keep calling these "A Star Wars Story"

Based on that alone it's going to be profitable.

Really all some guy saying a movie is terrible means is that there was something they didn't like about it.

For example, an extra in the background looks at the camera for three frames.

Deadpool 2 is under expectations in the US. No idea why it was great.

Solo will be on top either way since Deadpool 2 is R rated.

Wasn't this one liked by the general populace? I thought it was pretty good, especially since the movie itself is something no one asked for.
