Why Solo Underperformed, Reviewing Kubrick's 2001 in 70mm, & #StarWarsBlend
Can we use the "D" word -- disappointment -- when it comes to Solo: A Star Wars Story's box office? This becomes the first major topic of conversation on ReelBlend Episode 23, where co-hosts Sean O'Connell, Kevin McCarthy and Jake Hamilton do a Monday Morning Quarterback analysis of Ron Howard's Star Wars adventure. The movie did fine at the box office, earning an estimated $103 million over the Memorial Day four-day window. But in comparison to other Star Wars movies, and other Summer Blockbuster Tentpoles, it underperformed. The guys discuss why, give their own reviews of the film, and finally reveal their Top 3 Star Wars movies in our #StarWarsBlend segment.
ReelBlend #23 wasn't ALL Star Wars talk, though. Jake and Kevin were able to see the 70mm restored print of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and it blew their minds. Films fans are going to want to listen to that portion of ReelBlend, as the guys explain that the restored film print of this sci-fi masterpiece works like a time machine back to the late 1960s and early 1970s. If this movie is playing near you, get to it... now!

Pacific Rim Uprising, Avengers Box Office & Scorsese's Best: Pacific Rim Uprising is making its way to theaters. So Sean O'Connell, Jake Hamilton and Kevin McCarthy are diving into Steven S. DeKnight's robot-on-monster blockbuster, which Kevin liked, and Sean says is a coming out party for John Boyega as a franchise-carrying leading man. That discussion triggered a debate about the best sequels that came from directors who DIDN'T launch the franchise. How often does a series change hands, and then improve? The guys discuss. by ReelBlend
