There was no official pre-announcement and little fanfare, but U.S. Solo tickets are now on sale – or should be shortly, depending on your theater/chain. (Still waiting, local chain.)
The movie is tracking for a big debut – not The Force Awakens big, mind, but the predictions have it at a quite respectable $160 million opening weekend. That means it could easily beat Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End ($139.8M) to set a new Memorial Day record – or even outpace Rogue One’s $155.1M.
The movie is set for a world premiere May 10 in Los Angeles and an out-of-contention screening at the Cannes Film Festival before it officially debuts on May 25.
In the meantime, here’s a new commercial:
