In a downer weekend at Australian cinemas Disney/Lucasfilm’s 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' fell to earth after its underwhelming debut while Nash Edgerton’s 'Gringo' misfired.
The top brass at Disney/Lucasfilm are pondering why 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' didn’t fly anywhere near as high as they expected in the US and internationally, including Australia, last weekend.

This new comedy is directed by the screenwriter of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Empire Strikes Back
Disney Australia/New Zealand is using its social media platforms to promote a raft of original shows including the $120 million Star Wars spin-off The Mandalorian which will premiere on Disney+ when the direct-to-consumer service launches next Tuesday.
The Walt Disney Co will roll out its direct-to-consumer streaming service in Australia on November 19, one week after the US launch.
