how did this guy get the job? This fella was really out of his depth. With the helicopter work done by studios it borders on inconceivable that a first time outsider got to redirect the franchise. Looper is a nice movie but good lord, Kennedy is lost.
There’s not-so-great things being said before it comes out. Supposedly Ron Howard had to reshoot almost half the movie, had to cut out a character, the kid playing Solo is supposedly a terrible actor, and Woody Harrelson is involved. Curious to see what happens with this.
I’m showing both with at least teaser stuff, at least on YouTube
You said teaser trailer. I don't think a 15-second clip of a baby spitting up on a dad counts.
That is by definition a teaser trailer. Search some other teaser trailers they aren’t expansive

To be fair, the information about having to reshoot half the movie and the actor not being able to act came from "unnamed sources." This could be click bait reporting.
Star Wars is a movie, not a film, so I have no idea.
i only saw it 5 times. i'll probably watch it another 10-15 times when the DVD comes out though, plus the deleted scenes
avg movie 1st wk good- 2nd week big drop, 3rd week dead and going into 2nd run theaters.
Infinity Wars is May 4th (May the 4th be with you!)Star Wars is a movie, not a film, so I have no idea.
Honestly, I don't watch the box office #s too much now that it's bloated with IMAX and 3D sales. I do think it's rare for a movie now to stay on top for more than a few weeks. Like an above poster said, people aren't seeing movies 10x in the theater like the old days, so there's more of a push to get your money quickly, get money from the foreign box office, and get the movie on bluray and digital quicker.
That said, I assumed that's why SW had their movies in the Christmas season - less big budget competition so they could have longer legs and get more money. I don't know how long TFA or R1 stayed on top, and I am curious to see how Han Solo does in the summer vs. normal summer blockbuster fare (I haven't looked at the schedule - does it bump up against Infinity War?)
With over 150 reviews. Holy cats. Never seen that before. Definitely not the movie I would have expected to do that.
And out earned everything in 2016 too. It would've been 5th in 2015 behind TFA (2 billion), Jurassic World (1.67 billion), Furious 7 (1.5 billion) and Age of Ultron (1.4 billion), although, it's not done earning. It could still make more money.
hot take..... they push that turd back to August... I guess we will know soon with the super bowl ad, would make the lack of a trailer make a lot more sense.Star Wars is a movie, not a film, so I have no idea.

Trailer coming to theaters right after Super Bowl. My guess is in front of Black Panther (synergy!
)unlikely, I agree, but going against deadpool 2 is a suicide mission imoTrailer coming to theaters right after Super Bowl. My guess is in front of Black Panther (synergy!
You're suggesting they might push Solo to an August release? I won't say "never" but, um, not happening.
Casual fans? Probably not. The nerds will be out in full force. I don't think Disney sees this as a huge moneymaker either, but I'm an engineer, not a film exec.Not sure I see a huge demand for a Solo stand-alone movie.
See, I wonder even about the nerds. How much of Han Solo is Star Wars character, and how much is Harrison Ford? I think Ford is the character, and how important is his back story to the Star Wars Universe?
I think Solo presents the best opportunity to make a traditional action movie in the Star Wars universe. The hero being witty and charming while doing some crazy stunts with a not black, not white, but gray agenda, and generally being an overall bad ###. Throw in Chewie and you have an action buddy movie (if done right). If it was a good movie I could see it appeal to the non hard core crowd, but it would have to be a good movie.See, I wonder even about the nerds.

Rogue One was an "important" part of the Star Wars Saga - in that it had a direct tie in to the events before A New Hope. Han Solo seems like we get a story about a smuggler who owes a debt to Jabba the Hutt - which we already knew.
My kids want to see Deadpool so bad. I even watched it once, just to see if there was any way I could skip a few bad parts so they can watch it. Nope. No possible way to make it kid friendly. I pity the editing team that has to make it safe for USA or FX.
It's Solo, and most nerds are going to accept that Ford isn't playing the character. Like someone else said, done right as a buddy cop/action movie, you might pull in casual people who are meh on Star Wars but could get into a one-off story that requires no huge library of information.

My guess is they are planning on a $650 - $850m world wide take. Enough to turn a decent profit and keep the engine running similar to the smaller Marvel movies.It's Solo, and most nerds are going to accept that Ford isn't playing the character.

I don't understand why you'd have to be super strong with the force to do that "space trick." There's virtually no resistance or friction in space. It would be like lifting a penny.
That and it's not like in the last four decades, she didn't learn a few tricks from her brother before he went all mad hermit.
