Soldato
$83 million at the US box office for its opening weekend which is a lot less than Deadpool 2 and Infinity Wars.
I thought it was average. Better than TLJ but just average.

The loss of a Williams soundtrack really hurt it, and I wonder why they dropped the signature Star Wars screen wipes?
Looks like hot garbage to me, wouldn't download it for free.
recover the 400mil it cost to make
Sweet Jesus, really!!?? That seems crazy high, this should have been made for 100mill tops.
Supposedly, it's because of all the reshoots, which were substantial. ie. It was two films instead of 1. The one with the previous makers and the current one.

edit - I see reports of $250mill, still v v high imo for a no-name cast.

They were like at least 50% or 2/3rd into production before firing the directors (there must be some pay off) then hire Howard, which must cost more than normal at the last minute and he reshot 70%+ of the movie and they managed to do it on time which no doubt means a lot of overtime in some quarters.
What more I don't know if it makes a difference to box office prices but the cinemas around me have strangely nearly halved the price of all tickets.
I thought the Williams music was in the movie, sure I heard it.
Hopefully a wake up call to Disney that just slapping Star Wars on a film doesn't fire up a cash printing machine.
I found it very boring and just a series of scenes to tick off. There were bits of John Williams but just as you were getting into the music they switched to something else which was annoying.
Also....
Chewie was supposed to have this big life debt after Han saved his life but that was an anticlimax.
The card game had zero tension and we didn't even know the rules so we couldn't get invested, we knew the outcome so was boring to watch.
Lando's droid was worse than Jar Jar, made me cringe.
Seein Maul was cool but no one in my party had seen Rebels so that had zero impact apart from confusion.

For instance in the States then all of the ticket price goes to the studio and the cinema makes money on snacks etc, whereas in Europe then they get a percentage of the ticket price. I could be wrong, but I think that's why the domestic US take is so important.
