Now the four-day holiday projections for Solo: A Star Wars Story have been updated with the movie now poised to take in $101 million over the four-day holiday weekend.
Many believed this new Thursday record would set the pace for Solo to break the all-time Memorial Day weekend record of $139.8 million set by At World’s End, but that record is now secure since Solo: A Star Wars Story has severely underperformed.
While Disney’s Solo: A Star Wars Story was the only movie opening in wide release at the box office over the four-day holiday weekend, it still managed to underperform with the three-day estimates coming in this morning.
Solo: A Star Wars Story got off to a good start with the Thursday tally of $14.1 million setting a new record for the Memorial Day weekend holiday, breaking the previous record of $13.2 million set by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End in 2007.
