That makes it the lowest grossing live-action Star Wars movie ever made.

Since launching on Thursday 24 May, the film made a grand total of $168m worldwide.Īs it stands, the film has made a worldwide box office gross of $343.3m after five weekends. However, despite LucasFilm’s best efforts to get the film back on track, it proved a box office bomb. Despite its release over the three-day Memorial Day weekend, Solo attracted just $83.3m at the US box office. Howard dealt with the remainder of filming and reshoots so extensive that Lord and Miller didn’t even challenge for a directing credit. Lord and Miller were fired and replaced with veteran director Ron Howard. Eventually, tensions between the directors and the crew came to an impasse.
