Went to see if I could get tickets to see openheimer tonight. Every single session is at 90%+ with only the worst seats left, especially if I coax my partner to come there are no double seats together. Same for Barbie which has a lot more session times. Crazy busy. Very big saturday for australia box office.

No reason this cant become a James Bond thing with new main every 4-5 films.

Just reign in the story to be more personal and intermit so naturally needing less CGI heavy scenes. Don't overpay actors and keep run time close to 2 hours. Not impossible.

When tracking first came out pointing towards potential 100-140m OW for Flash I was sceptical given how poorly all recent DC films have performed. Was expecting 80-90m range but almost everyone said it no way does that low, before pre-sales. Not even I thought Flash would underwhelm this much. How much money is DC/Warner going to lose from these recent films. Absolutely in shambles at the moment that division. At least Aquaman 2 is certain to pull a profit. Do believe budgets should be targeting no higher than 150m for their future films.

Thought 400m was locked on the friday number. Not anymore for spider. Especially with direct competition next week. Might end up 20m higher than GOTG3.

10.2 16.3 (+60%) 23.6 (+45%) 17.7 (-25%) 57.7m with slightly conservative increases

Unexpectedly luke warm reviews. Thinking this destroys any chance of a breakout. Dropping prediction to 85m/225m/575m.

Top film all time on letterbox 13# on imdb right next to two towers and empire strikes back. Critical darling Surely this is a strong chance for best picture nomination despite being animation.

With that 13m Monday that would lead to a 64m weekend, following Wonder Woman. Though should take a larger decrease on Thursday with PLF loss. So tentatively 60m 2nd weekend trend for now.

Nice so does mean we get Flash and Transformers reviews on the same day.

My guess would be a critics score right around GOTG3, so low 80's.

Best comparison going forward for ATSV is probably Wonder Woman. Released first week of June (2017) with a 103m opening weekend. It finished with 412m Jun 2 Friday 1 $38,247,254 - - 4,165 $9,183 $38,247,254 1 Jun 3 Saturday 1 $35,253,398 -7.8% - 4,165 $8,464 $73,500,652 2 Jun 4 Sunday 1 $29,750,819 -15.6% - 4,165 $7,143 $103,251,471 3 Jun 5 Monday 1 $11,757,063 -60.5% - 4,165 $2,822 $115,008,534 4 Jun 6 Tuesday 1 $14,342,175 +22% - 4,165 $3,443 $129,350,709 5 First Monday was 11.75

Is there anything for the rest of year that could break into the top 3 openings weekends, so above 118m Guardians number. Maybe "The Marvels" seems like the best chance, especially now after some quality CBM's restoring the genre. Outside chances in wildcards Barbie and MI7.

Should of released a week earlier.

Realistically where is Flash landing based on current pre-sales for opening weekend?

GOTG3 number? plz

Into the Spider Verse enters IMDB top 250 at #25. Should challenge the top 10 as more votes come in. Its predecessor sits at number #63.

Oh damn didn't realise Beyond the Spider Verse is just next year. Was it planned for a one year gap or was this second film just delayed because covid.

Deadline lowballs typically so treat their number as bottom end. Likely 16-18m. Great start.

Largest opening for 2D animation? Think this wins.

Very nice theatre retention for GOTG. Fast X will fade faster. Mario took a big hit.

9.1 on imdb 4.7 on letterbox 8.7 critic average Doubt we get another movie this high for the year, even if it trends down a little. Massive win.

Pretty sure Spider Man was almost a dead property until Marvel revived it giving its second wind.

Roger Moore at it again. Was the lowest score of the first movie with 50/100 and gave same score again.

87 on metacritic with 14 reviews.
