âSolo: A Star Wars Storyâ fell short of Friday forecast box office numbers this weekend. The Disney and Lucasfilm Han Solo origin flick had a three-day debut of $84.8-million dollars and the four day figure for the debut was $103-million.
Overseas, the news is worse with only $68-million coming in. Japan was their saving grace. China saw a paltry $10-mill for âSolo.â To compare? âRogue One: A Star Wars Storyâ came in with $155-million in the U.S.
Itâs a bit of a shock considering Ron Howard took over the directing reigns after Christopher Miller and Phil Lord over creative differences. Howard shared on Twitter that despite the movie missing projections itâs still his âpersonal bestâ and suggests people just go and see it.
