With no serious competition opening at the box office, Solo has officially collapsed with a catastrophic -68 percent drop in its second weekend. After grossing a measly (we are talking about a Star Wars movie here) $82 million in its debut weekend, Solo bottomed out in week two with just $28 million. How bad is that?
In its second weekend, The Force Awakens was grossing $50 million A DAY.
The Last Jedi grossed $70 million.
Rogue One grossed $55 million.
In worse news, Solo is by far the most expensive Star Wars movie produced yet, with a reported price tag of $250 million. Add another $150 million for publicity, and we are talking about a $900 million worldwide breakeven point.
After The Force Awakens, Rogue One, and The Last Jedi grossed a domestic $936 million, $532 million, and $620 million, respectively, Solo will probably skid to a stop before it reaches $230 million.
The news is just as bad at the international box office, where Solo has only added $82 million, despite opening everywhere.
Solo is going to lose a fortune.
And our hopelessly corrupt entertainment media refuse to say why.
How desperate are the entertainment media to cover up the fact that Kathleen Kennedy’s obnoxious, story-killing, left-wing politics are killing Star Wars? Over at the far-left Washington Post, Steven Zeitchik, who is actually paid money to analyze the box office, blamed it on — try not to laugh — a late spring release date, the fact Solo is a spin-off, yes, Star Wars fatigue.

Maybe Hollywood should double down on their Jihad against America.
Trump’s fault.
Article should of focused a bit more over the particular offenses, like give gross examples of the PC embedded into the movie. The reader needs to satiate the hunger one gets when reading the article.
WINNING.
This is MAGA.
Didn’t help that they cast somebody who looks nothing like Harrison Ford
The latest trend of politics running media might kill their golden goose of old.
I will see that Jurassic dinosaur movie in a few weeks. I am a dupe for dinosaurs. While Star Wars should die. I hate the way Disney is mining it and ruining it. Lets see how long Kathleen Kennedy lasts but equally PC and repulsive is their director J. J. Abrams

“Steven Zeitchik, who is actually paid money to analyze the box office, blamed it on — try not to laugh — a late spring release date, the fact Solo is a spin-off, yes, Star Wars fatigue”
Well if Zeitchik is so much sharper than the Hollyweirdo’s that said “GO” Some heads should roll! I mean it’s not like the schools are out and kiddies abound whom can make the show any time of the day..... no wait...what?
You mean the diversity vs Whitey message isn’t bringing Whitey to the theater?
Plus, the classic Star Wars films ALL opened in May. The Force Sucks was the first December release.
Well I went to see the movie last night Freepers. After reading how bad of a flop it was, I was blown away how GOOD this movie was.
Politics? I didn’t see it. A robot character called L3 had gained sentience, and was advocating for robot rights. It was unexpected and humorous.
Environmentalism? Non existent
Feminism? I was expecting it, but no. Solo’s love interest backs him up 100%, even though she has other allegiances by the end of the flick.
Gratuitous casting? Woody Harrelson was a believable character, and I wanted to complain about the casting choice but I could not.
New faces? I wanted to dislike the actor playing Solo, but I couldn’t. He comes across very much as he should. The Lando character was awesome, completely nailed the role.
Good vs. Evil? This movie made it a little more muddy. Who are the good guys and who are bad, just like in life. Solo has some difficult choices to make, and he makes them.
Canon? For Star Wars fans, this explains and fits very well within the SW canon.
And it’s even Rated G. So I don’t know what all the hand wringing and whining is about. I went into this movie with low expectations, and came out blown away. Do yourselves a favor and go see it.

Perhaps you’re referring to a spelling or grammatical error, in in which case I apologize.
If you’re referring to my critique of the article, then yes. Most definitely yes.
Yes, I need examples.
When is the transgender Ghostbuster sequel?
