'Solo: A Star Wars Story' fades at the boxoffice as the sea story 'Adrift,' starring Shailene Woodley, becomes the top new domestic arrival for the weekend.
A trio of smaller films open opposite the ‘Star Wars’ spinoff and ‘Deadpool 2’ — Shailene Woodley's lost-at-sea drama 'Adrift,' Johnny Knoxvilles's comedy 'Action Point' and genre pic 'Upgrade.'
Disney/Lucasfilm was jolted over Memorial Day weekend when 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' opened well below expectations domestically with roughly $100 million, while bombing overseas with $65 million.
The spinoff is the first of the new Star Wars movies to brave the summer box office, and opens only five months after 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' hit theaters.
