Disney Expected to Lose Over $50 Million on SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY
By now, it’s no secret that Solo: A Star Wars Story is a box office disappointment, turning in a poor opening weekend and having a big second-weekend drop. But now, it looks like it’s officially a real box office bomb – something that’s rare for Disney and Lucasfilm. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Solo is expected to lose a decent amount of money for the studio. According to Wall Street analyst Barton Crockett, the film will lose more than $50 million. However, other industry financing sources suggest that that number could rise to over $80 million. It’s unknown how Disney’s television and home entertainment deals, as well as marketing, would affect…

FEATURE: Five LEGO Video Games We’d Love to See
Over the years, LEGO has produced many video games based on many different franchises. These include DC/Batman, Marvel, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean. This year, LEGO is releasing games based on Incredibles 2 and DC Comics’ super-villains. But it’s not gonna end there. LEGO will likely continue producing games based on licensed properties until the end of time. With that in mind, we have some ideas – specifically, how to expand the DC, Marvel and Star Wars brands. LEGO Marvel Super-Villains LEGO is putting DC’s villains at the forefront for a video game, so how long until Marvel gets the same treatment?…

Box Office Report: SOLO Drops Big in Second Weekend, DEADPOOL 2 Nears $600 Million Worldwide
Lucasfilm’s Solo: A Star Wars Story experienced an underwhelming box office opening last weekend, making just a little over $100 million over four days. Compared to other recent Star Wars movies, that’s really low. It’s especially bad when considering the film’s $250-300 million (possibly more) budget. So, eyes are on later weeks to see how it performs. Unfortunately, if its second weekend is any indicator, it’s not looking too good. Per Box Office Mojo, Solo grossed an estimated $29.3 million this weekend. While it still retains the #1 spot, that’s a 65% drop from last week. It’s still a smaller drop than The Last Jedi‘s 67% drop, but not by much.…

ARROW SEASON 6 Review
In the second half of Arrow season 6 (check out our mid-season review here), Team Arrow has an all-out Civil War. Cayden James is not the main villain as we previously thought. In a surprise twist, Ricardo Diaz rises to the forefront. Oliver loses his team’s trust (again), all while dealing with his impending impeachment. Arrow season 6 was a rollercoaster ride, but was it enjoyable? With Diaz taking over as head of the league of villains, we once again have an enemy that can go toe-to-toe with the Green Arrow. Oliver has decided to do this job solo after a huge (and a little contrived) falling-out with the team, including…

BIRDS OF PREY Movie Rumored to Include Huntress
It was recently confirmed that DC is moving forward with a Birds of Prey movie, starring Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and directed by Cathy Yan. The film, which is beginning production in January, will include an ensemble of female characters from the DC Universe. Batgirl is expected to be involved, but Catwoman will not be. Characters like Black Canary and Penguin have also been rumored. Now, we have another name to add to the list. Omega Underground has learned that Huntress will be appearing in Birds of Prey. This makes sense, considering that she is a frequent member of the Birds of Prey in the comics. The Huntress persona has been…
