The new Star Wars movie did poorly at the box office. According to Box Office Mojo:

Disney and Lucasfilms’s Solo: A Star Wars Story topped the Memorial Day holiday weekend box office, but the film fell well short of expectations, raising a few valid questions.

Fiat Chrysler Automobile N.V.’s (NYSE: FCAU) longtime CEO will leave and the company is preparing. According to The Wall Street Journal:
