Disney’s ‘Star Wars’ Headaches Include Outcry From Its Own Fans
- Poor showing of ‘Solo’ movie sparks concerns about strategy
- Studio is said to push back against idea of future film delays
Once again, Walt Disney Co. is at odds with “Star Wars” fans.
After a poor performance by “Solo: A Star Wars Story” -- a movie poised to become the first money-losing film in the series -- Disney faces criticism over how it’s managing one of Hollywood’s most lucrative franchises. The company is dealing with reports that its next stand-alone “Star Wars” movie may be delayed and an effort by one faction of fans to remake “The Last Jedi,” which came out in December.
