If all goes well, a young Han Solo and his band of outcasts will take out Captain Jack Sparrow and set a new Memorial Day weekend record at the box office.

Disney and Lucasfilm's spinoff Solo: A Star Wars Story is tracking to open to $130 million to $150 million over the long holiday weekend, with $130 million being on the low end of expectations. To date, the Memorial Day weekend record-holder for the top domestic launch is 2007's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End with $139.8 million, not adjusted for inflation.

Old-minded :)
I’ve been a fan since I was 13 and it was possible! Now nearing 54.

‘Solo’ Heads to Opening Below Forecasts Over Memorial Day Weekend

After I watched this video by PJW, I have had a slight distaste for Glover.
He doesn't deserve my money.
Always hated Woody, though.

I'll wait until it's in the $0.99 bin.

I think I’m the only one so far to catch an interesting Easter egg. In one of the films C-3PO comments that the falcon has a unique way of communicating. Won’t give any spoilers away, but now we know why.

I learned about that this afternoon.
I'm a frequent visitor to TheMovieSpoiler's website.

Movies don't run my life.
Also...(Highlight for a spoiler after this word)

Darth Maul is in this movie...Kinda.

Projections: North American Market.

98M (Fri-Sun)
115M (Fri-Mon)

Asian market projections are tanking.
China is expected to earn only 10M.

We’re looking at “Justice League” numbers folks.

Sure, a movie is a movie. As a writer, myself, however I love good characters. I love Sherlock Holmes, Rocky Balboa, heck even Felix Salten’s Bambi! I just really enjoy truly good characters. Han and Chewie fall into that category for me.

Too bad. I think that negative projections before the movie came out are keeping people away. This is why I never saw The Last Jedi. Hopefully, it will get a delayed boost as people who have seen it gush a little.
