It will have out earned Infinity War by 250 million domestically without accounting for inflation. It's the biggest movie since Titanic despite being in the Netflix era.
Saying the new Trillogy wasn't well received is revisionist history.
Even TLJ's box office wasnt a disaster. It was the bottom end of expectations. The big question is does it affect the opening of IX and did in affect the opening of Solo? I think until we get that datapoint we don't know. Though I'm willing to bet you get a 200 million + open out of 9 and an out performance of TLJ.

I don't want to speculate on repeat viewings because that's hard to put any number on that but millions of people saw TLJ and came out thinking it was terrible which has probably put a dent into the Star Wars franchise. IMO declining viewership is going to be the trend going forward and played a role in Solo flopping.
