really? It was always sort of irrelevant to me. None of those bands or that whole thing had anything like as big an impact as the grunge thing though, right?

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

Right. Don’t kill me but arctic monkeys always sounded nu metal to me. Their rhythm section on that first album. Could be an influence I guess

Fallout has legs. It’s already made half as much as Solo in its first week. It’s going to well outgross it by the end of its run. And it cost less. 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.

I dunno. They knew what they were doing. They owned everything it came out against including avengers and except deadpool. I don’t get the reasoning behind it but there was one. 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

I forgot. Think it was Forbes has the report that they didn’t move it to Christmas cos it would affect their gross or stock values or tax in the following year. Somethin like that

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.

You just hate Star Wars. That’s ok. It was pure fun and pure Star Wars. I thought it was great. Be interested to see how it does on home release. I don’t know if there’s official trackers for those numbers though.
