  1. Ray cashed in $2 million of options he sold on juice future contracts. It’s the only explanation.
  2. from what I can remember Friday jumps can be over 100%, but Saturday either stays flat or slightly falls. Sunday decrease in the 30-40% range.
  3. all you can see for effectively $20 a month (£15) at odeon in the UK. Owned by AMC. No limits on how many you can see in a day/week/month. Glorious. There’s up charges for PLF or certain type seats, but it’s minimal. This model has proved gangbusters for the two biggest cinema chains over here for years. It’s wild the US versions of these subs have such restrictions.
  4. I made my own proton pack when I was a kid. The toy was way too expensive so I got creative and tethered an old toy gun to one of my backpacks and decorated it with all sorts. Made a trap as well. Those were the days
  5. so long as there’s people like you @Brainbug that will see the latest dino/lizard film over ten times in theaters, we’ll be ok. We salute you.
  6. Soul was by far the best of those three movies. Enjoyed all three very much, but Soul was the only one that I thought could be talked amongst some of the studio’s absolute best films.
  7. Let’s not forget that if Ghostbusters had opened on every PLF screen with full reign then it would be pulling in closer to $50 million, if not more. Raw dollars are all that matter of course, but it’s likely selling more tickets than Afterlife did this weekend.
  8. Movie was fine. Enjoyed it. Think the word of mouth will be solid enough from general audiences.
  9. Totally. I might not like it tomorrow, but I’m hopeful I’ll find plenty there to make it worthwhile. My general point was dealing with those throwing out absolutes that the movie isn’t good, when they haven’t even seen it. They judge a film on aggregate scores - which is almost anti-film in my eyes and treating it like sport. So many beloved films from years ago wouldn’t have had great scores if they came out today in the RT obsessed environment we have to deal with now. I’m all over us discussing the box office as it pans out. Yet flat out dismissing the film before we’ve even seen it based on scores really does dismay so many posters on here that just don’t know how to engage with that kind of attitude.
  10. 43 year old here. Huge fan of the original two films. Liked Afterlife. Looking forward to Frozen Empire tomorrow. See there’s really good reviews. See there’s really mixed to negative reviews too. Will form my own opinion rather than looking at a percentage. Sadly too many these days look at a percentage and then have an opinion on the film they haven’t watched. It’s par for the course these days, and not how it used to be at all. I agree the ‘percentage’ will have an impact on the box office opening weekend. Its importance to what you think of the film is irrelevant until you actually watch it for yourself. I’d wager everybody on here has movies they really love that have middling scores on RT. and all of this ‘Ghostbusters is irrelevant in 2024’ rhetoric. It might be to you, but it isn’t to me - never will be.
  11. Zendaya isn’t good in Dune? Avatar isn’t relevant again?
  12. There will be a few hundred thousand between these two for sure. Neither hitting $30 million though by the looks (maybe Panda JUST hits the number)
  13. $250 million locked up for Dune now. $280-300 million range finish I would think.
  14. The Fall Guy campaign just lit a match tonight. Gosling is going to be all anybody is talking about this week, they’ve just got to capitalise on it now
  15. Panda doing serious numbers whilst Dune storms to $250 million area is great news all round. Do I want Dune to top $300 million? Hell yeah. Panda being a big hit is great for the overall business though. Make no mistake. Strong weekend. We’ve turned a corner for sure.
  16. Cineworld IMAX? I’m in London next week and thinking of seeing it in there as have never been in that screen. I know Odeon have the 70mm but that’s not IMAX ratio and the BFI is sold out whilst I’m there pretty much. Recommend it in that flagship Cine screen?
  17. In my nearby multiplex in the U.K. they’re already taking bookings for a fourth IMAX weekend of Dune, the weekend Ghostbusters opens. IMAX exclusively Dune too.
  18. 48% PLF 🤣 What does that tell you? Nobody wants to see this thing in a flea pit Build more premium screens morons!!
  19. yeah. As long as they can crow ‘Doubled Part One’s OW’ then that will be more than satisfactory for them.
  20. Over or under Oppenheimer’s $82.5 million? It’ll be close.
