Well my anecdotal evidence does not look good for Solo. I work for a technology company with about 300 people in an office. The company rented 2 theaters 1 on release day and 1 the week after. Tickets are $7 and come with popcorn and you can get tickets for family and friends. They're currently begging people to buy tickets. You even get out of an hour of work. They're not even close to selling out.

When nerds would rather work than see star wars at a reduced price that's pretty telling.

There are absolutely no spoilers to the movie in this video.

These guys probably live right down the street from you, JSF.

Do Right, Be Right. :)



Well that was 15:11 of my life I'll never get back.




Sorry about that Whozit.

Damn. You've already squandered about 15% of your life you took back by boycotting this movie. My bad.

Do Right, Be Right. :)



Forget about it, I've wasted more time watching "Flat Earth" vids.

Well at least when delusional Libtards are making Flat Earth vids, they are too busy to waste time making Global Warming or Russia! Collusion! vids.

The Earth is flat and is only 6,000 years old. 9/11 was a false flag and the Twin Towers never even existed in the alternate universe I came from, and neither did Russians, so I really don't even know what y'all are talking about half the time in here. Donald Trump was real, but he's dead now. He went on to host The Price is Right after he got Fired from the Apprentice and met his end in a bizarre Plinko accident shortly after the fact. The Cloud People are sending laser beams into your brain and making you spend your money on Marvel and Star Wars movies. The only reason that y'all don't think you want to see Solo is because they don't want you to see another movie in the Star Wars universe starring a white male hero. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!! OBAMA TURNED THE FROGS GAY!!!!

Obama turned French people gay? The whole nation of France, or just French-Americans?

That's not good news for Disney and Star Wars franchise. Somehow they'll survive it. I read a rumo0r online that critics and entertainment mags/papers have been writing glowing reviews. Could Disney be behind this?
Oh and advance sales are not doing well.

But I think I will judge for myself.

I've read some good reviews. I thought some articles said advance sales were going well. That's why I wasn't entirely sure my office's anecdotal evidence was accurate, but maybe I misread. Regardless it will be interesting to see if the vocal opponents of The Last Jedi are so upset that they won't see future Star Wars movies and if they're numerous enough to concern Disney.

We'll find out this weekend from the fandom on YOUTUBE how good this flick is.

That's going to be somewhat tainted because of the backlash regarding The Last Jedi. Actually, most of the 'bad press' is a result of the hate for the treatment of that movie. It's going on 6 months and there's still volcanic reaction to Rian Johnson's mess of a movie.

Also, according to some of his comments, and old video footage of him, his treatment was intentional. And it seems that is what Kennedy wanted as well, she approved the script. I'm afraid that the YouTubers will be in full force this weekend. So there may be a 'little' bias on their part.
