The foul-mouthed Deadpool is having a better time of it at the box office than the cheeky young Han Solo.

I'm guessing that the President of Marvel Studios is having a happier time right now than the President of Lucasfilm.
Animation veterans and original Solo directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were kicked off the picture because execs didn't like the pace of filming or the way the scenes played. But now Solo, 80% remade, isn't performing at the box office, and if Mr. Lord and Mr. Miller aren't having a bit of schadenfreude, they are stronger men than I am.
Meantime, Isle of Dogs remains in a handful of theaters (domestic gross: $31,300,447) and Incredibles 2 is projected to pull down $140 million domestically during its first weekend.
No animation in the Top Ten, but the drought will end on June 15 when I2 drops (see above). One week later, the partially animated Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom roars out of the gate.
