Ron Howard Feels Badly About Box Office For Solo: A Star Wars Story

In a post on Twitter, director Ron Howard revealed that he wasn’t too happy about the box office for Solo: A Star Wars Story. Howard signed on to direct after Phil Lord and and Chris Miller departed due to creative differences with Disney and Lucasfilm. So far, Solo has earned $176 million domestically and might not earn a profit on a budget of $250 million.

He wrote:

I've been reading so many theories as to why 'Solo' hasn't been doing so well at the box office – sad to say, some SW fans are snubbing Solo b/c they're still upset over Last Jedi. If so, they're missing out & punishing a good film for something not its fault. #StarWars #Solo

I’m proud of #SoloAStarWarsStory and the cast & crew worked hard to give fans a fun new addition. As a director I feel badly when people who I believe (& exit polls show) will very likely enjoy a movie… don’t see it on a big screen w/great sound. https://t.co/KADHwqU8so
