    These meltdowns every Wednesdays are becoming really annoying... impressive jumps on Tuesday followed by a big drop on Wednesday are the pattern for months, and still this always concern people.

    Don't mind the n00bs.

    Was not sure where to put these. Below are profit estimates from Deadline for the following movies. These are for 2018 movies and only for top 10 dom movies (meaning cut off dom is $215m). This means movie like Venom wont show up in this list but will show up in the small movie list that Deadline will do later on. 

     

    #7) Deadpool 2 - $235.4m

    #8) Jurassic World 2 - $222.8m

    #9) The Grinch - $184.6m 

    https://deadline.com/2019/03/the-grinch-box-office-profit-2018-1202582389/

     

    #10) A Star Is Born - $178.1m 

    https://deadline.com/2019/03/a-star-is-born-box-office-profit-2018-1202580798/

    Isn't BR at #10 for 2018 dom, not ASIB?

    The 1937 Wellman/Fredric March/Janet Gaynor was financially successful, nominated for 7 Oscars and won Best Screenplay

     

    The 1954 Cukor, Garland/Mason film wasn't a financial failure.  It was expensive at $5m to make but reportedly did $6.1m in domestic rentals (money officially back to the studio) and was one of the top films of 1954

     

    The Streisand/Kristofferson of decidedly lesser quality but more meh reviews than turd reviews

     

    Then there are movies like The Artist which swipe the concept en large

    What does this mean? BOM has it's domestic take at $4,335,968 btw (which is oddly specific for a film of its age).

    Agreed for all except that ASIB is not an original drama.  It's been re-made and riffed on - very successfully - multiple times.

     

     

    I know the second film with Garland was a commercial failure (didn't even match it's budget) and the Streisand film was a critical turd, but don't know much about the first. Is this the first iteration where the stars aligned both critically and commercially? 

  5. Trying to make sense of the muted Tuesday increases.

     

    Typical Thanksgiving week business that I need reminded of?

     

    But also we expected a larger increase for the one film that did increase substantially from Monday? (not that I think FB2's performance is good)

    I just remembered Beyonce was supposed to be in ASIB. It would have been so awful. Being talentless (don't believe what the media says- she has no talent outside of a decent-at-best singing voice) she wouldn't have been able to contribute anything other than bootyliciousness, fiercely strutting around on stage and doing hair flips. In other words, she would have been her unbearable  "Queen Bey" self  for 2+ hours. Gross. 

    Lol I hope that was therapeutic for you.

    Looks to drop under $1m today...unless it gets an increase.

    It increased its last too consecutive Thursdays so there's a good possibility it does increase.

    Clearly Disney disagrees since they paid her 25 million to be involved (highest paid black actress of all time).

    Not read into the project, but at BOM all the actors are only listed as voices, but they listed TLK in their Disney Live Action Reimaginings chart, so why they are only 'voices' in case you do know?

    If only voices, ww BO will probably not getting a push per involved 'voices' for countries with dubbing.

     

    edit: with push I mean, if the movie is done great, the voices will help as they do help with those kind of movies, but less than with actors we get to see.

     

    All of this is irrelevant. The main point is TLK already has a built in mega audience. They could have gotten Brandy to voice Nala and it would still have a mega 200m+ opening and 600m+ total because.... (chorus joins in) i t ' s  T h e  L i o n  K i n g.

     

    You can't really create more interest for a film that already has 100% peak interest. There's nowhere further to go.

    Some people will. Just like some watched ASIB because of Lady Gaga and Venom because of Tom Hardy. It is a thing that happens. 

    You’re missing the point. TLK is going to be one of the top grossing films of the year and probably all time. That’s because it has a built in audience because the animated original is so beloved, not because Beyoncé is voicing one of the characters.

    All this talk about ASIB is getting me hyped for Beyoncé’s Lion King. Can’t wait for the absolute massive slayage. That’s REAL popstar power. 

    Lol people aren’t going to be watching TLK because of Beyoncé. What a troll.

    Yet she then agrees to a Vegas residency? lmao

     

    Child, I know everything about the industry, I don't need to do research. The claim was that she did 40 shows while others did 90, in reference to post-Super Bowl Half Time Show tours. Again, nonsense.

    You clearly need to do more. You don’t seem to have a grasp on some very broad industry strokes, Pussycat.
