Disney and Lucasfilm’s Solo: A Star Wars Story struggled in its debut at the Memorial Day weekend box office, where it came in well behind expectations with a three-day total of $84.8 million and four-day total of $103 million, according to Monday numbers. The news is altogether grim overseas, where Solo rolled out in every major market save Japan. The movie — which made a high-profile stop at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this month — is bombing, hitting only $68 million, including a dismal $10.1 million launch in China. The global bow is an estimated $171 million; many had thought it would fly to $300 million.
The top 12 films of the weekend, as of Sunday, May 27, are as follows:
