For movie theaters, this Memorial Day weekend has been a good turnaround, but for Lucasfilm and “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” it’s a time for some serious reflection.
Even though it is the first Memorial Day weekend release in four years to open to over $100 million over four days, “Solo” has a three-day start that is a staggering 47 percent down from its fellow “Star Wars” anthology film, “Rogue One,” and down 27 percent from the last “Star Wars” film to open in May, 2005’s “Revenge of the Sith.”
