The latest projections put Solo: A Star Wars Story at over $170 million, which is more than enough to break the current four-day Memorial Day weekend record of $139.8 million, set 11 years ago by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.
The “definite interest” for Solo: A Star Wars Story is 55, which is higher than the 53 score for Spider-Man: Homecoming ($117 million opening weekend), with tracking indicating that males over the age of 25 are the “dominant” demographic for Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Even if it does come in lower than these projections, Solo: A Star Wars Story seems to have weathered a considerable amount of controversy.
These latest projections come from Deadline, although it remains to be seen what Disney’s own projections will be for Solo: A Star Wars Story.
