Not that I'm defending the movie, but this works both ways for critic and audience reviews on RT. Uncharted may have 39%, but that could mean 39% of critics have it 9.5s across the board and the remaining just gave it bad reviews. 100% and 60% could hypothetically have the same average rating.

Well as an Echidna he can be fully matured by 5 years of age so

Sonic and Pikachu are long running multi-media franchises mainly aimed a kids. Yeah they are both "video game movies" but they couldn't be more removed from the type of audience Uncharted goes for. Rampage was sold as a Dwayne Johnson spectacle, I doubt half the people that saw it ever played the games. Prince of Persia is a solid comp though.

It's really early obviously but thinking $155-165m opening and $370-425m domestic. International I think will see an extremely significant bump.

Depends on what the 15 markets were

Should have made this 10 years ago with Nathan Fillion tbh

Insane to think what pop culture would be like now had Reloaded been an "Empire" or "TDK" to it's first film, one that exceeded it in quality. The movie's gross was already huge all things considered, but had word of mouth been glowing rather than mixed? It would have changed everything. Return of the King might not have been the highest grossing film that year, and rather than flaming out fairly quickly in the mid-2000s the films would have been on everyone's minds for a lot longer. Out of all the would be "Next Star Wars", Matrix had the best chance at being it.

Well they do have Morbius on April 1, so that kind of limits them a bit in terms of a potential box office boosting re-issue

Good for Spidey, I'm thinking $2m Fri, $3.9m Sat, $1.4m Sunday for a $7.3m weekend. Also, I think No Way Home is gonna increase next weekend. If thanks to nothing more than studio numbers fuckery and drive-in's with Uncharted, but I don't think it'll honestly need either of those things. The next two weeks are it's final hurrah before sizable, direct competition hits. I see it like: Feb 11-13: $7.3m/$759.1m Feb 18-20: $7.5m/+ $1.5m Monday for $770.9m Feb 25-27: $5.0m for $777m Will likely drop 50%+ for Batman, and the spring has more competition so I imagine it will be under $1m weekends by the end of March. $785-790m or so final gross. If it gets close enough to $800m I could definitely see Sony doing a re-release with deleted scenes or something a week or two before Doctor Strange.

It's good to see something that isn't a superhero movie or CGI extravaganza make decent coin. Still, we need more variety. Hopefully Jackass numbers are a good sign for that. I also like how this weekend was essentially "how to do dumb mindless entertainment right vs wrong" with the Jackass crew doing what they do best and Emmerich managing to disappoint people agian. And No Way Home is a total beast, the lack of competition is driving it to better late legs than any other comic book film I can think of.

This date for this annoys me almost as much as none of the G.I. Joe or Captain America movies releasing over 4th of July weekend

Holy shit, something cool I can actually go to. 100% seeing Oppenheimer here

Ask Knoxville and the millions he's made hurting himself on camera for 20+ years. The answer is yes.

More people than I expected at the 10pm Jackass screening, about half full. No idea what previews might be but regardless this will be more of a walk up movie than anything

Probably the most entertaining movie of the year tbh

Definitely seeing this tonight

is the Feb 28 thing accurate? Seems to have been floating around for a few weeks but no official or credible word. Its also a Monday which is an odd day to release

With that week to week hold plus this being a no-football Sunday I’d say a small increase is possible but there are actually some new releases this weekend that could garner mild interest. Still, a 10-20% dip seems like worst case scenario unless Monday was a fluke day

$6.5 is actually King's Man, having historical late legs

FWIW the original film made $37M in 5 days Easter 1999... the average ticket price was $5.06

$100-150M OW I'm thinking. $300-400M total depending on critical/audience reception. I know that isn't a very specific range, I can't imagine a super low gross but I'm skeptical on how much higher it will get. More specifically right now I'm thinking $120/350 but that could change.

Fucking why

Really interested to see if this film revives the 3D fad. The format has basically been on life-support for years. I hate 3D, so I hope not. Not saying that I want the film to fail, but it'd be nice to not have 3D shoved down my throat for another 5 years. In terms of quality, Cameron hasn't really given me a reason to doubt IMO. I'm not sure what more I'd necessarily want from an Avatar sequel, the first one was a pretty good vfx bonanza with a pretty simple story that was boosted by great direction and imaginative design but I haven't really been clamoring for a sequel. That said, the only two sequels Cameron has directed were arguably better than the originals, so there's that.

Just thinking it would be really cool to bring back actual midnight screenings with a film like this. No Way Home should have done it but opted for what was basically a Thursday release minus the first round of matinees. I'm tired of rolling Thursday into Friday goddamn it
