Hopefully this “solo” movie will tank. Big time.

Speaking of that...

'Solo: A Star Wars Story' Ready to Top Memorial Day Weekend Box Office

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4401&p=.htm

FRIDAY AM UPDATE: Disney and Lucasfilm's Solo: A Star Wars Story brought in $14.1 million from Thursday evening previews, topping the previous Memorial Day record of $13.2 million set by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, which also holds the Memorial Day four-day weekend record of $139.8 million ($153m including those Thursday previews, which occurred in ~3,100 theaters). This is a solid start for the feature which is hoping to deliver a new Memorial Day weekend record.

“Hopefully this “solo” movie will tank. Big time.”

I’ve always wanted to see movies that centered on young Han’s antics. However, with what Disney is doing to this franchise (i.e. Lando is a “pansexual”), I couldn’t care less what happens now. It’s all dead to me :-). Screw them.

I can tolerate some SJW garbage here and there, but there comes a point where too much is enough. TLJ was pretty lame, but Lando was my tipping point ... the frigging racists at Disney, of course, had to make the black guy the deviant :-).

I’m sure they’ll make piles of cash w/o my contribution off this film ... I just hope that they fail miserably in the years to come since they’re doing a bunch of stupid crap to Star Wars.

It’s already underperforming initial projections (considerably lower than Rogue One).
