Last minute add... Challengers will be a $5 TMobile/Atom deal next week (starting Tuesday) - plan accordingly. Not the norm for their choices, but then again, it seems this movie is so "young adult/18-25" it may get a nice effect... 2024 TMobile Movies Bob Marley Ghostbusters Challengers

I know someone told you it's not original, but didn't tell you why. The Fall Guy was actually a 1980's tv show about stunt performers that lasted 5 seasons. From Wiki - "The Fall Guy is an American action-adventure television series produced for ABC and originally broadcast from November 4, 1981, to May 2, 1986. It stars Lee Majors, Douglas Barr, and Heather Thomas as Hollywood stunt performers who moonlight as bounty hunters." The movie is apparently only loosely based on the show, but it is still loosely based on the show.

Yeah, except this one isn't a classic war film. Apparently, it's a war journalism film, which isn't exactly gonna appeal to that demo.

Never posted, but kinda shocked by Civil War's high male demo... https://deadline.com/2024/04/box-office-civil-war-1235882968/ "Mostly male skewing here for Civil War at 73% with 57% of the audience being the prime 18-34moviegiong demo. Largest demo was 25-34 at 36%. Diversity range was 50% Caucasian, a very strong 24% Latino and Hispanic, 12% Black, 8% Asian and 6% other. Best regions for Civil War are South (A24 did have great test scores in Dallas), South Central and the West."

Dang, I have given the F- grade, but yeah, it's normally b/c I really, really hate it. It doesn't even have to be the worst made movie, it can just put me in the most pissed off mood about what they made (or didn't make)... PS - This is the kinda WOM where I say "yep, legs will be awful" b/c "it's good" doesn't go nearly as far as "I was pissed off after seeing this"...no one wants to pay to be pissed off...

'Covid killed my 2nd run with the owner switching it to a 1st run...

I think the biggest appeal is for elderly members with family visiting. When you're on a weekly caretaker visit and want something new to do with them for conversation and just happy fun. Like my spouse's parents no longer really go anywhere (one is completely shut in and the other is a full time caretaker). I know if there was a movie they wanted, they'd buy it on PVOD now. And when we visit and my kids want to watch something they didn't have on streaming, they'd buy it to have something to do together.

RT actually has identical 82% scores (critics and audience) right now. One is usually a good sign; one is usually a bad sign. Flip your coin.

If that's an AMC, all their subscribers just watch Imax (or whatever PLF something is on) every week b/c it's free for them, so why not. It would tend to confirm a low GA turnout and a high subscriber one...

Could be the movie was VERY over indexed at MTC1, maybe due to limited geography appeal, maybe due to very limited GA, etc...

I guess eclipses are just wildly more popular for day off viewing:)...

So, having seen the film, the movie is all hype, no delivery? Disappointing, but what I expected when I thought $10-$15M OW after seeing the trailer and the film title. I checked this thread to see if my gut feelings from the trailers differed from folks' experiences, since I thought someone must have gotten to see this early...

I'm thinking $10-15M is the right range for Civil War...I just don't see the potential for bigger numbers that some folks do...

Except maybe this Monday - so many school systems have off for the eclipse. Of course, the question is will folks all be doing that, or enjoying the day off?

Oops - yep, that one. Can you tell I was rushing to get ready this morning?:)
