Think about the timing.
Avengers: Infinity War hit theaters on April 27, 2018… and Solo released just 28 days later on May 25, 2018. That meant Solo was going head-to-head with one of the biggest blockbuster events in modern movie history.
But that wasn’t the only problem.
The Last Jedi had released on December 15, 2017—just a little over five months earlier—and whether you loved it or hated it, there’s no denying it left a very divided conversation around Star Wars at the time.
So Solo wasn’t just fighting Marvel…
It was also fighting Star Wars fatigue, franchise division, and one of the most crowded blockbuster windows imaginable.
In this BoxTrick podcast clip, we break down why Solo deserved better—and why timing may have hurt it more than the movie itself ever did. #starwars
