“Solo: A Star Wars Story,” the latest prequel in the huge fi lm franchise, has failed to make the impact Disney had hoped in North America.

Analysts had predicted Ron Howard’s fi lm about a young Han Solo would take between US$130 million and US$150 million on its debut weekend.

But it had to settle for US$103 mil-lion, which was still enough to knock “Deadpool 2” off the top spot.

“Solo,” starring Alden Ehrenreich, took an estimated US$168 million overseas.

The Hollywood Reporter’s Pamela McClintock described this fi gure as “grim*.”

However, the fi lm was generally praised by critics when reviews fi rst came out.

The Hollywood Reporter reckons that most box-offi ce analysts blame “Solo”’s underwhelming performance on the fact that it debuted just fi ve months after “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” was released, suggesting audi-ence fatigue*.

“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 fi ve-week period?” Disney distribution chief Dave Hollis told the fi lm news website.

“Let’s measure how we feel about this until more time passes,” he added.

The Han Solo origin fi lm fared less well than its fellow standalone, 2016’s “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” which opened to US$155 million in the U.S. and Canada. (SD-Agencies)

‘Solo’ Star Wars fi lm underwhelms at

Singer Will Young has been banned from driving after a man had to jump clear of his car which then crashed into a parked vehicle.

The 39-year-old was driving on the A68 through the Borders when the incident happened near Earlston in Britain on January 21.

The Jedburgh Sheriff Court was told that the singer mistook a bollard* for the central reservation.

He drove into a lay-by*, which had a parked car in it, at about 40 miles per hour before realizing his mistake.

Conditions were described as “fairly poor,” with it being dark with snow.

Procurator* fi scal Graham Fraser told how the owner of the parked Nissan Qashqai was returning from a friend’s farm and crossing the lay-by at the time.

He then had to “jump clear to avoid being struck.”

The court heard the entertainer braked to avoid hitting the man and lost control of his Mercedes G-Class.

His lawyer said “clearly he made a mistake” in relation to mistaking the bol-lards — which marked the entry to the lay-by — as the central reservation.

The court heard the singer had been “extremely apologetic” for his “momen-tary loss of control” and sheltered the man from the cold in his car before call-ing the police.

Young pleaded guilty in March at Sel-kirk Sheriff Court to driving without due care as well as at excessive speed for the weather conditions and for entering a lay-by, before appearing at the Jedburgh court for sentencing on Monday.

Will Young banned a# er car crash

The stormy weather has been causing all sorts of problems across the U.K. — not least for the fi rst live semi-fi nal of “Britain’s Got Talent.”

Monday night’s show went off air for several minutes, as ITV showed an apology and footage of former winners auditioning.

Declan Donnelly is hosting the live shows alone this year while fellow pre-senter Ant McPartlin takes time off.

Judge Simon Cowell joked: “Ant, you are coming back next year — don’t do that!”

Ant announced he was stepping away for a while from his TV roles fol-lowing his arrest in March. He later pleaded guilty to drink driving and was

given a 20-month driving ban and an £86,000 (US$99,200) fi ne.

When BGT came back on air, Dec apologized for “technical problems” due to the weather during the early part of the show, which is broadcast from the Hammersmith Apollo in west London.

He joked: “Going well so far!”He also repeated voting information

for anyone who had missed it.Dec told the audience and viewers

that nothing had changed since the last series, with the same judges and format, then added: “And the present-ers... well, probably best not to dwell on that.”

Another judge, David Walliams, later

joked that Dec looked “a little tense” and offered him a massage.

It’s not the fi rst time Dec has hosted solo — he presented the last two epi-sodes of “Saturday Night Takeaway” earlier this year without Ant.
