Thought this was almost great. More Refn/Evans than Wick. Loved how raw and ugly it was while also exploding with color. Pure pulp. Dev carries it. Hearty pat of on the back for using that awesome song from The Handmaiden's awesome teaser in it. Big smile overall.

Oh, yeah, that's definitely post pandemic too.

Black Widow I wouldn't consider post pandemic at all. GxK for sure. Can't remember what FNAF... Fast & Furious movie?

Far more people are off for Christmas than they are for Easter in US/CAN. Far more people are off the day after Christmas than are off the day after Easter in US/CAN. Easter is kinda falling down the pole as to how many people are given holiday and/or celebrate the holiday.

Anyone here watch Shin Ultraman yet? I missed it when it was theaters in my city so was considering renting it.

Reading through here there were people expecting BB to open higher than 25M~ DOM? I thought the range months and months and months ago was 20M to 30M DOM. Seems like it came in on target. Supes Legacy is so far away that who knows? Will depend on release date, how the marketplace is doing, reviews, etc.

Saturday numbers?

So what's the weekend numbers? I keep waiting for Barbie to have one of those weekend to weekend mega holds and it keeps dropping 35+ or 40+ percent.

Phantom Menace did insane admissions back in 1999 too. 464M DOM back then has got to be something like 750M~ DOM now. OT sold a lot of tickets for the first of the sequels and prequels.

Not sure bashing him for Tenet or, years ago, something like Dark Knight Rises is all that hipster as, even though well received enough, those are his two worst received movies since Dark Knight. Every well liked director will receive this kind of backlash if they have a pristine record then a few perceived missteps. This isn't some novel concept. And, given the ratings of his films on Letterboxd which may well be called Hipsterboxd, he's in VERY VERY VERY excellent standing with hipsters. Always has been.

The movies I think of when I think of Dark Knight are Heat but much more so and to your point Dirty Harry. Not sure it was intentional but it's A LOT like Dirty Harry. Which... Isn't a bad thing. A LOT like Dirty Harry.

Eh. Hipster bashing Nolan would've been a hipster thing like a decade ago maybe? He's old now. Been 15+ years since TDK. It's like bashing Spielberg or Scorsese now kinda. Hipster bashing now would be bashing Gerwig this summer since Barbie dropped.

So... Are the numbers expected to remain about the same with Meg edging out Oppenheimer and Oppenheimer edging out Turtles? I did my Mutant Megham double feature. Good time. Each was exactly as advertised. Mutant Mayhem should have some nice legs through August and eventually clear 100M DOM. Nice to see Elemental to still chugging along to get to the 5x multiplier. Looks like it's starting to hold pretty well in Japan so wondering if 500M WW is still a possibility for it with decent legs there?

Disney probably thought they couldn't miss with Three Musketeers in '93.

So TGM with a considerably lower OW DOM is looking pretty safe. Nice.
