Walt Disney Co.’s “Star Wars” franchise may be one of its most lucrative but the films continue to be a flop in the world’s second-biggest cinema market. “Solo: A Star Wars Story” opened third over the weekend in China, with box office sales of about $10.1 million, behind two films that weren’t even premiering, according to Disney. Among the films that outperformed it was Disney’s own Marvel superhero hit, “Avengers: Infinity War” which continued its strong showing three weeks after its record $191 million opening weekend, according to Boxofficemojo.com.
