Given that The Force Awakens, Rogue One and The Last Jedi were all initially scheduled for a May release date, only to be pushed back to December of their various years, fans were all-but-certain that Solo: A Star Wars Story would suffer the same fate. After all, the movie had a notoriously troubled production, with Phil Lord and Chris Miller being unceremoniously booted from the project midway through shooting and Ron Howard being brought in to rescue the pic.
With that in mind, nobody would have batted an eyelid if they’d have kicked the film back to the end of the year, so why did Disney stick to their May 25th release date, even with Lucasfilm apparently wanting to shift it? Well, Dirk Libbey over at Cinema Blend has a theory, and it revolves around The Walt Disney Company’s fiscal year running from October 1st to September 30th.
