Possibly/probably not, but I have to imagine the conclusion of the new trilogy is going to likely pull a very big number, the audience reaction to TLJ nonwithstanding.
Not with Solo but maybe with the final of the current trilogy...would take a lot of hype.
More likely it means that it's a film which is a deus ex machina masterpiece with forced dialog, really unfunny humor, random hippy stories, and just characters who are entirely pointless.

It's iffy.
One thing to remember about that mid December slot it's actually not well designed for a big opening weekend. It's actually a very challenging weekend for people to find time to get to the theatres, but, it's a good launch date to give a 2-3 week stretch where families get out to theatres together.
The fact that both TFA and TLJ had such big opening weekends is a testament to how dedicated that fan base is to see it opening weekend. TFA for example, despite having a near 4 multiplier had a very front loaded weekend.
I also think other studios have learned to not cede the whole Christmas period to Disney anymore.
The bigger question is if Avengers 4 beats its own record next year. There's also the live action Lion King coming down that may compete for it.

They won't be getting my $ on opening weekend again. I watched from the front row just so that I wouldn't hear spoilers. If it has a similar fan reaction as TLJ I may wait until it's on DVD to watch it. I have absolutely no desire to watch Solo after TLJ either.

Star Wars is just a very mediocre franchise.
I don't think Episode 9 has a chance at all not without Luke or Han... Nobody cares about the new characters

No Luke, Leia, Solo or even Snoke who would've been an interesting character due to his power as a Sith Lord.

But what about Rose Tico ? Finn ? Or Mary Sue ?
If the rebels/allies/resistance, whatever they are don't do it for you, they have great villains too ! Captain Phasma and her amazing backstory, the emo sith or General "spaceballs" Hux ?
But really it's about how they are going to subvert your expectations and promote diversity ! Can't be against that or you're a hater.
One of the big theories I have heard is that Snoke was a puppet and that someone even bigger than him was giving him his marching orders.

No idea. That said I am more than willing to wait to find out. TLJ really bastardized SW for me.

Let's move on to the actual movie under discussion instead of whatever theories or hot takes we feel like making about Star Wars.

That was what the film was. Its saving grace was all the good work the solo films already did.
On its own merits it was as noisy and joyless as justice league.
Movie was so good. I love how they re-integrated all of the characters a few at a time in their own scenes. Honestly, it felt like I was watching several movies at once.
Best part is that we haven't seen all of the superheroes altogether in one place. If/when that happens in the next movie, it's going to be a sight to behold. They did a really great job building that up.
