Tentpole movies aren’t cheap and Star Wars movies have been some of the most expensive films made in recent years, but Solo: A Star Wars Story was even more expensive than most.
It’s entirely possible that based on the original budget, Solo’s current box office would be enough for the movie to be in the black.
While we have no idea what Solo’s budget would have been if things progressed normally, we can guess it would have been a lot cheaper.
It still wouldn’t be a massive hit, but it would be profitable, and at the end of the day, that’s literally all that matters to the studio.
