She-hulk is a comedy series on a streaming-only platform.

Their Star Wars movies consistently make >$500M, and that says nothing of the merchandising, amusement parks, and other tie-ins.

I think they're going to be okay.

Yes, of the 5 modern star wars movies, Solo "only" made $213M. The other 4 made over $500M each.

And Solo lost money because they claimed it was ludicrously expensive. $213M is a solid amount for 99% of movies. Anyways, was it actually that expensive, or is it just Hollywood accounting?

She's 70, so she'll be able to retire and never have to face the fact that she's an Adam Neumann-sized net loss to the world.
