If you haven't seen Solo yet. Why?

It might be tough to get a good sample here since we're all big fans. I work with a couple of Star Wars fans who like TLJ, but still haven't seen Solo. They just haven't made time to watch the film.

 

OTHER: I live in one of the regions where the movie hasn't come out yet. Doesn't arrive until June 29.

 

Yeah, an option "I haven't had time to see it yet" would a good addition to the poll.

 

You don't have to speculate.
There was very little marketing for this film, and instead TLJ's still being marketed at brick and mortar stores.

Go try and find marketing around your city/town for it.
I'm pretty sure you'll still see TLJ, but have a hard time finding Solo.
McDonald's, Burger King...Subway? Anyone?

Oh...a cup and plate brand. Cute.

Cheers,

Yup, the boring basics. Of course other factors are at play this is the true lead of the story.

There wasn't even heavy buzz on fan sites, it was like 85% plus Last Jedi Rox/Suxs/Meh till the movie dropped.

Add in a significant portion of the rest being why is Solo being made/Solo is a production of turmoil and the buzz is a couple trailers within three months of release, poster fiasco, and a TV barnstorm that pretended the movie had been marketed for the last year instead of giving Howard a week off out of post before the blitz and you might get this sort of outcome.
Especially when you had some swimming upstream to do to get fans to buy in for like 6,000 different reasons while also needing to foster a sense of urgency, build anticipation, and create high awareness in general audiences.

 

I don't do boycotts but I choose that option because my SW RPG buddies had no interest in seeing the film and were boycotting it. So, I didn't go with them and my family was generally disinterested because they thought it would be bad. If there was more time and advertising a few of them may have come around. Personally, I thought TLJ was ok, but I can understand why they were mad. (They're really into the EU).


I'll probably see Solo soonish because I've heard it was good. At the time I thought it'd be awful so I was more interested in seeing Infinity War. Just gotta convince my better half first..

 

Haven't made the time to see it yet, but I am excited about the film. My favorite aspect of the Star Wars universe has always been the force and force users. I loved Han, but Luke was my favorite character. That said, non force using characters are an equally valuable part of the universe and deserve their own films/stories. Rogue One was great and I expect I will love Solo as well. For my part, assuming they maintain the high quality of films, Lucasfilm could make two Star Wars films a year and I would happily see each one.

 

This poll is proving The Last Jedi is very important reason for Solo's disaster.

 

TLJ may indeed be an important factor but it'll take more than the vote of 4 SW fans to prove that's the case!

 

Well if we should believe Film industry controlled social media all 4 TLJ haters have just spent their votes. One of them been the one who created 200 000 accounts to Rigg TLJ rotten tomato approval score to 46%

 

Even if 100,000 "fans" are boycotting Solo because of TLJ that's like what, $1-2 million less box office. That can't be the the only factor involved.

 

Forgetting power of today's spread of information. That is why we have controlled social media and its conscious or unconscious agents on every doorstep of the internet.
What one thinks and says today is seen by more people than any time in history.And what a group sees and wants, believes in, is spread as an information to unimaginable number of people directly and indirectly, modulating public opinion.
That is why the ultimate power is over the true information, which is modulated and made relative.
There are some that surf trough that .
Because any farce is not forever, as everything it serves its purpose for the time being.

Replace books with Internet and controlled social media and we actally live in this kind of world:

Spoiler

Video I posted, listen comander around 1:55. We all have to be made alike,equal. Thats SJW. Who has the ears one listens,who has the eye one sees.

Apology for OT.

Ready?
Prepare dislikes.

Reality.

Based on DVD reviews, and exit polls it is possible to estimate how many people was serriously hurt by TLJ in the way that it could influence their attendance to Star Wars in general, at least while the wound was still fresh, which fitts to the Solo theatric run time window.

32 % general audience miniumum, 40 % general audience maximum was severily shaken by The Last Jedi.

If we take my most probable estimate of 37-38 % of general audience, and add to this objectively poor marketing (compared to Last Jedi marketing for instance) it actually explains Solo's box Office result completly.

Of course this means many of that 37-38% of "shaken" audience will not reset until Ep IX. Some will, but some will not. Difficult to tell.

I am sure Disney must have similar results.

 

I just saw Solo this past weekend. It just hit at a really inconvenient time for me.
Had a lot going on and just didn't take the time to go see it.

Lack of marketing to make me want to HAVE to see it and just being in a busy time of summer was bad news.
I thought the marketing looked fun and solid. And that's what the movie was.
