Memorial Day Weekend use to be one of the biggest box office weekends of the year. But that hasn't been the case for a number of years. And this weekend saw two big movies open to disappointing numbers.

X-Men: Apocalypse opened with $65.3 million over three days. In its entire run Apocalypse will have trouble matching what Captain America: Civil War And Batman v Superman made in their opening weekends.

Alice Through the Looking Glass opened with $27 million over three days. And marks a drastic drop from Alice in Wonderland which made $116 million in its opening weekend. This is the second Memorial Day that Disney had a big flop after last years Tomorrowland failed to connect with audiences.

So the questions of the day is
Are we hitting super hero fatigue? And is Memorial Day cursed for Disney?

Best known as the singing cowboy Hobie Doyle in the Coen Brother's comedy Hail, Caesar, Alden Ehrenreich is in final negotiations to play the iconic character Han Solo in an origin story. So far, reactions have been mixed from Star Wars fans. Myself, I feel he is an excellent choice as the smuggler and future father to the nefarious Kylo Ren.
Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the as of yet untitled Han Solo project is set for release in 2018 and is being written by a team of Kasdans, Joe and Laurence. Laurence Kasdan, arguably the best writer in the Star Wars franchise is sure to be true to the character and his roots. There is good reason to be excited about this film, fellow Star Wars fanatics!
