Box-office receipts for “Solo: A Star Wars Story” sank 65 percent from the film’s debut weekend, setting it on course to be the first “Star Wars” movie to lose money.
Walt Disney Co.’s Han Solo origin story collected weekend sales of $29.4 million in U.S. and Canadian theaters, ComScore Inc. said in an email Monday. That was below the $30 million projected by the research site Box Office Mojo and a steeper decline than other big Memorial Day releases historically.
