Whoever said January is the worst month clearly hasn’t seen the list of all the great movies and TV coming to Netflix this month. Here are 10 films we’re buzzing to watch again on our home screens. 

All The Indiana Jones Movies

That’s right, ALL of them have been added to Netflix this month so prepare yourself for some Harrison Ford tomb-raiding action.

Pan’s Labyrinth

Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro’s haunting masterpiece is also being added to our watchlist.

The Dark Knight

Finally, the best of the Batman saga is being added to Netflix.

Watchmen

Before the new TV series airs on HBO, you can watch/re-watch the original cinematic adaptation of the popular graphic novel.

Solo: A Star Wars Story

If you didn’t get round to watching it at the cinema, you can now catch it in your living room.

Definitely, Maybe

A charming rom-com starring Ryan Reynalds and Abigail Breslin.

Pulp Fiction

Finally…!

The Addams Family

Halloween may be long over but the spooky and kooky Addams family are a welcome treat to our small screens.

The Strangers

The original was far better than last year’s tacky remake.

And on January 29 you will be able to watch…

Ant-Man and the Wasp

So now you have no excuse for not being up to date when MCU’s Avengers: Endgame lands at cinemas worldwide in April.

While most of the recent Star Wars movies went on to become huge box-office hits, the same thing didn’t happen with Solo: A Star Wars Story. This spinoff movie, based on the character of Han Solo from the original trilogy, ended up not only becoming a flop in financial terms but also lukewarm reception. Still, there are fans who are hoping to see a sequel, mostly due to the original’s end that promised more exciting action. Unfortunately, it seems like these hopes are not realistic to say at least.

With Solo: A Star Wars Story getting a digital release recently, one of the movie’s writers Jon Kasdan decided to share a handful of interesting facts on his Twitter profile. The last entry was the answer to all those questions about the sequel.

“To be honest, I think the challenge has more to do with the foreign box office than the U.S.” – Kasdan wrote. “Personally, I think there are great Star Wars movies to be made that don’t need to cost quite so much. Hopefully, that will be the trend in years to come, and maybe, just maybe, that trend will allow us, one way or another, to tell more stories with Alden [Ehrenreich], Joonas [Suotamo], Emilia [Clarke], and Donald [Glover]. With those actors and [Ron Howard], I would jump at the opportunity. Given the way Hollywood, and the culture at large, seem to run from anything labeled a disappointment, the odds seem like they’re against it happening anytime soon. But, I suppose, Han wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Co-directed by Ron Howard, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Solo: A Star Wars Story was released in the summer of 2018 as the second entry in the Star Wars anthology film series. It is one of the most expensive movies ever made, with an estimated production budget of $275 million. The movie ended up earning $393 million worldwide, which accumulated to $80 million in losses. The critics praised the casting and visuals but criticized predictable storyline and lack of creativity.

“Solo: A Star Wars Story” is the First “Star Wars” Movie to Flop https://entertainmentforus.com/solo-star-wars-story-first-star-wars-movie-flop/ Sun, 10 Jun 2018 10:42:46 +0000 https://entertainmentforus.com/?p=2462 We hate to say it, but Solo: A Star Wars Story has officially flopped, making it the first Star Wars film to ever make a loss in its second week at the box office.

We hate to say it, but Solo: A Star Wars Story has officially flopped, making it the first Star Wars film to ever make a loss in its second week at the box office.

The feature fell short of its projected North American opening targets by roughly $30 million. Then on its second week, it fell short of $30 million in earnings, 65% less than its opening weekend.
The origin story is the most expensive Star Wars movie to be made, at $250 million. So far, however, it has only made $264 million worldwide. This might not seem that bad but The Last Jedi and Rogue One both exceeded the $1 billion mark and Star Wars Ep. VII: The Force Awakens made a record breaking $2 billion. By Disney standards, Solo has seriously flopped. The question everyone is asking is, why?
Disney chief David Hollis seems to think it was a strategical error releasing the movie at the same time as Avengers: Infinity War. “There’s a question of frequency, and how many times people will go to the movies. Is this too much and too soon for a third time in a five-week period?” he told the Hollywood Reporter.
Others are suggesting that people just don’t care enough about Hans Solo to pay to see his backstory. Keeping up with the Star Wars movies is difficult with a new film coming out every year. It’s possible that viewers have become apathetic and just aren’t invested enough to see Hans Solo in his own movie, being played by someone other than Harrison Ford.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

Solo: A Star Wars Story yielded disappointing numbers for its opening at the box office.

The Ron Howard-directed Star Wars prequel follows a younger version of Harrison Ford’s Han Solo played by Alden Ehrenreich. Solo joins a gang of galactic smugglers, including our favorite Wookie, Chewbacca, and the adventure kicks off from there.

The prequel, however, has not met Disney’s estimates at the box office. It opened in third place in China behind Avengers: Infinity War and How Long Will I Love U. It earned short of $10 million, according to local data service Ent Group.

The movie was expected to fair better in North America, but rather than taking the expected $130-150 million, it unfortunately took in only $103 million.

The disappointing numbers have caused Disney distribution chief, Dave Hollis, to question their strategy. He has questioned whether it was wise to release the prequel while Marvel’s popular hits Deadpool 2 and Avengers: Infinity War are still showing in theaters.

Hollis told The Hollywood Reporter: “There’s a question of frequency, and how many times people will go to the movies. Is this too much and too soon for a third time in a five-week period?”

Hollis indicated that regardless of successful international box office returns, Solo has disappointed, having a worldwide total of a modest $148 million compared to The Last Jedi, which opened with a more impressive $230 million.
