nah. It was never that big, but it hung around for a long time.

New Mission impossible opening weekend? 67 million. ‘Box office smash!’
Solo opening weekend? 80 million ‘it’s a catastrophe!’
Go figure.

And it isn’t an installment of (what at least used to be) the most popular franchise on the planet. Solo making under $400 million worldwide is pretty shocking. Disney fucked up to an epic degree.

It’s not like all the executive heads of departments at Disney suddenly went oh fuck! We put them all out at the same time!
That few weeks was the most populated Disney output I can remember. I’d say they wanted to see how much their franchises actually do cannibalise each other if set against each other.
They ‘lost’ 500 million on Solo? Maybe. Are they bothered? Doubtful. If it had been a Christmas release it would have undoubtedly done around a billion.
Like I said I’d say it was an experiment.
If you buy that they didn’t want Solo interfering with Mary poppins at the box office, read my post again

Keeping SOLO at Memorial Day or moving to XMas still gives you the same mediocre movie. Maybe it makes a few extra bucks during the holiday season but you wouldn't get a better film.
