I agree with Tino. If Solo had been something that people wanted to see and it was good, it would have done better business no matter when it opened. It's Star Wars, with Han Solo and Chewbacca. And if it was a good film, word of mouth would have given it legs and it would have performed much better than it did beyond opening weekend.
The TLJ uber-hater fanboys are a drop in the box office bucket and I don't think either they or the reported turmoil surrounding the production had any major impact on Solo's numbers. Most of the general public is blissfully unaware of such things. I just don't think that people really wanted to see a movie about Han Solo without Harrison Ford in it. It's that simple as far as I'm concerned. Disney miscalculated.
