New trailer is out. 6.1m views on YouTube in a little over a day. Good, but nowhere near other mega blockbusters of the summer.

It's going to be close, but I'm sticking firm with this club. I sense a Matrix Revolutions type scenario here. That film dropped sharply in half from Reloaded. A similar drop from Rogue One would give Solo a $270m-$280m finish. Sub $100m Fri-Sun is very possible with a total like that.

Only 8m views after three days. Grindelwald had like double that.

I feel The Force is with this club!

When Star Wars movies were few-and-far-between, good won. Now the dark side will win. It's inevitable.

Even if it crosses $100m mark its going to show decline from December OW of RO so its not going to be a victory for "good"

Man I want to join because the trailer views for this have been so crappy, but I still have a hard time seeing this happening. If reviews are decent enough the casuals will show up, and with the SW fan base that might get it to over $100M, but who knows. The buzz for this has been so damn weak so far.

What was the demographic breakdown for The Last Jedi?

0% chance. Keep dreaming. The SW brand is not that dead yet despite the damaged haters from TLJ.

nghtvsn is probably right. But it will happen eventually, and this has gotten everybody hopeful.

I don’t know, there is a lot of ill will from Last Jedi (even if a lot of it’s unfounded) and not a lot of folks were clamoring for the movie. I could see it opening to 90m

This has less views than the trailer for Star Trek Beyond.

hhmm maybe I'm slightly off but I'm pretty sure the SW brand is stronger than the ST brand box office wise. Maybe I'm wrong.

Just something to keep in mind, I've heard SOLO is better than you'd think and a lot of fun.

Obviously but still embarrassing.

I hate Kathleen and what she's done to SWs so I am rooting against this. I am a hater.

Kennedy has done an alright but not great job so far. TLJ was her first SW film to be above average.

I think it'll open 135-150 so out.

It may do $120m but I don't think $135m-$150m is happening now with the weak signs the film is showing.

I still don't fully understand what a 'GamerGater' is and I'm not sure if I am one, although if it means having good taste and not taking bullshit seriously then count me in. I also have no strong attachment to Ghostbusters so I'm not sure where that's coming from either. The reboot was a dumb idea, especially with an all-female (and all-ugly) cast, but I don't particularly care. I've never watched a Ghostbusters movie. Maybe you're mistaking me for someone else?


Nah, you confirmed it right there.

So being a GamerGater means you can objectively evaluate reality? Great.

All the women in the Ghostbusters reboot are still butt ugly by the way, and it hurt the film's box office.

Luckily for Solo, Emilia Clarke is beautiful. Although I don't think it will help it cross $100m OW.


I must disagree. For larger women, McCarthy and Jones are not ugly. And McKinnon and Wiig are attractive if done up well.

You might as well be saying: "For ugly women, McCarthy and Jones are not ugly".
