Great hold for Panda 4, unfortunately this is gonna be the end of the road for it. Also pretty good hold for Civil War, expected it would lose more theaters and drop harder. Still probably doesn't have enough in the tank to get to $70 mil but clearly it's found a certain appreciative audience -
They probably would've liked to bring Helen Hunt back if they could, but based on stuff that's gotten to the press there's a lot of ice between her and the studios regarding this franchise

The Box Office Buzz, Tracking, and Pre-Sale Thread
AniNate replied to Shawn Robbins's topic in Box Office Discussion
I definitely haven't seen as much of a rush here with Garfield as with IF. I'm sure part of it is the latter has been promoted more to adults and is first out, but I did expect a little more from Garfield given the OS breakouts, earlier presale start, and presumably being a safer bet for grandparents familiar with the comic strip who want to take their kids out for Memorial weekend. -
I do feel like there was a certain heightened desire for escapism with the real world climate of 2001-2004 that manifested better as theater box office since VOD was still limited to whatever your local cable/satellite carrier had on offer at the time. Ideally, movies wouldn't need to rely on the world being crap to be successful, but that is typically the reality.

I like it for the implication that there is much bigger danger out of the shot than the flaming tornado behind them. Say... a flying gas tanker heading for them
-
No real big weather systems right now, temperate zone is somewhat on the chilly side for this time of year though. Last weekend there was a dry heatwave which meant it was really nice outside, so maybe that did have something of an impact
-
Fall Guy did what it did, I don't think the release month would've changed that much, certainly not with March having ended up as stacked as it was. Honestly that looks like it's going to be a much bigger blockbuster month than May. Apes cinemascore aside, I am pretty encouraged by the buzz for everything else coming up though. Still probably gonna be no match for the IP parade last year especially with the 5/31 dead week but rest of May and early June looks like it could turn out solid hits.

Man even on a weekend cinema isn't dead you all will still find something to freak out about If it has bad legs then it has bad legs, but at least wait until it actually does to despair about it
-
Honestly I'm more optimistic about the rest of May than I was last week, I know the trackers aren't high on IF but it's a legit breakout in France and I have to believe it's gonna have a lot of walkups here, though I also think its local weekend presales have been actually solid so far. I'm also wondering at this point if Garfuriosa is gonna become an actual thing.

Not sure why everyone's downbeat all of a sudden but I just went outside and saw the northern lights for the first time.

I trust whatever the lower estimate is

Canton updates: IF - 13 Thursday, 131 Fri-Sun Garfield - 6 EA, 8 Thursday, 27 Fri-Sun Furiosa - 38 Thursday, 24 Fri-Sun -
Korea I can see being a strong OS market, they were big on Elemental and the original Inside Out was also one of the biggest Pixar movies there.
-
I have a hard time believing this'll increase in admissions on opening weekend, whatever the reviews look like. The original's opening weekend was quite big as it was, and I just don't think rush demand is what it used to be for family films.

Really leaning into his inner Gene Shalit I see

Spells hope for IF with the anemic comps -
I'm pulling for a weekend over 05/12-14 last year

He's being intentionally obtuse, don't need to escalate this
-
It's a dumb thing to spin a negative narrative about in the absence of box office numbers that would support it
-
Yeah, they seem to only update on weekends
-
May 31 is inexplicably barren, that should help all the May tentpoles at least
-
TV Glow seems like it's gonna meet Love Lies Bleeding's fate
-
I mean I think it's valued pretty fairly for what it is at least by the producers. They know both the potential and the ceiling of its audience and how to work within those boundaries to produce satisfyingly entertaining and lucrative blockbusters
-
People rated Civil War fairly while Flash was rated with fanboy goggles on. I imagine Apes is somewhere in between, though again I doubt legs will be anything super amazing
-
Civil War was fairly accurate, it was just that a B- actually did mean something like a B-
