Looking at the Weekend: May 25-27, 2018

Deadpool 2 will only have a single week at the top of the box office as its easily displayed by the second non-trilogy Star Wars film. Solo: A Star Wars Story explores the past of one of the series most prominent characters, Han Solo. With Harrison Ford out of the picture in terms of the main trilogy, his age prevents him from being employed in his “origin” story. Alden Ehrenreich, who seemed like a rising talent when he starred in Beautiful Creatures and later was part of one of the most celebrated scenes of its year in the Coen Brothers’ Hail, Caesar!, early word is he’s quite good, which will help bolster the film’s chances at the box office.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): Thrillers about blind women are overly abundant and this one doesn’t look particularly interesting. Peter J.

	Wesley Lovell (WL): Without Elle Fanning, my interest would be precisely zero. Peter J. Patrick (PP): This story was done twice in the 1980s to middling effect, expect the same here.
