It’s official: Han Solo’s origin story is a huge flop for Lucasfilm and Disney. The latest standalone Star Wars film only managed $29.3 million in ticket sales this weekend, a 65 percent drop-off from last weekend's opening at $84.4 million. Due to reshoots, the movie cost over $250 million to make.
Some have suggested that Solo's box office troubles can be pinned to the backlash that followed The Last Jedi's release in 2017. Others feel it's a case of franchise fatigue; too many Star Wars movies in too short a period of time.
