SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Looks Set For A Most Impressive Opening Weekend At The Domestic Box Office
Lucasfilm’s upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story has landed on tracking and the iconic space-scoundrel's origin movie looks set for Friday through Monday start of $170M-plus at the domestic box office...
There doesn't seem to be quite the same level of enthusiasm for Solo: A Star Wars Story as there was for previous journeys to the galaxy far, far away, but the upcoming Disney/Lucasfilm release still looks set for a most impressive opening weekend at the US box office.
Deadline reports that the Ron Howard-directed Star Wars flick is currently tracking towards $170M-plus over the course of its 4-day opening weekend. Though that obviously doesn't compare to the opening weekend hauls of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, it is significantly higher than Rogue One's $155M.
These are only industry projections, however, and may be a little optimistic. We'll find out when Solo: A Star Wars Story blasts into theaters on May 25.
