'Solo: A Star Wars Story' continues to fly so low at the box office
Much has already been written about the lower-than-expected ticket sales for Solo: A Star Wars Story, and those concerns are unlikely to stop as the Han Solo prequel film takes another hit at the box office. The film, starring Hail, Caesar! standout Alden Ehrenreich as the galactic scoundrel, brought in an estimated $8.15 million on Friday night. It’s common for films to take such dips after opening on Memorial Day weekend. It’s difficult not to want to compare the film’s performance to other Star Wars titles, but the standalone blockbuster has the second-lowest opening weekend so far from Disney and Lucasfilm’s latest releases.
