  1. I think this is a very harsh time for us as box office followers but overall a much needed hard hit of consecutive weekends that solidifies that the GA still cares about quality and not just brand recognition/sequels. I'm willing to be disappointed and bored for a few weeks if that means the summers go back to more quality/event type films. Discretionary income is too sparse for most people to just throw it away at shit to mediocre films. Even in the summer.
  2. I think I'm the most shook by 20 million for MA. That is a a FANTASTIC number. Blumhouse has become text book for these kind of films.
  3. truly shocking. I mean, everyone knew it was going to be big but this is the kind of thing that 10 years from now if you're active on these forums you'll always remember. I haven't had a chance to see it yet, but still im giddy when these phenomenons happen. enjoy it.
  4. Clearly I'm nervous but I think the delay is the best play here. CoG certainly had issues (it also had some great moments), but I think the only thing that will guarantee this sees itself to five films is it crushing on RT. The delay can give it time for that. OW is almost guaranteed to be below CoG (if CoG couldn't match FB with the goodwill this won't either). I think best case scenario domestically is something like 50/170, with the hope that last two films can go out with a bang. I do think its salvageable, the WW gross was still respectable and in the end its a money maker for WB.
  5. truly astounding to me that this questions is being asked after 14 years of Perry putting out low budget films that almost always double or triple production costs. the urban movie goers are CONSISTENTLY overlooked (I think there's an argument to be made that Perry consistently getting black audiences in theaters over the past decade and a half are some of the reasons we see films like Blank Panther being made). every year, someone here specifically asks this question about perry and the short answer is if you think these films look horrible they're not made for you. that doesn't mean they don't have appeal. also, not trying to personally attack you with this just forever astounded by the idea that because something doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean it doesn't have appeal. and for some reason Tyler seems to be the scapegoat year after year.
  6. Clearly I'm in the minority here, but domestically speaking I think Bumblebee has done about as good as Paramount could have hoped for. I mean, we're talking 3, MAYBE 4 sequels that have not been well received and continued to diminish the brand. The last one is released in the heat of the summer and makes 130 stateside. The fact that Bumblebee is going to do around that same number is a bigggg feat and Paramount should be smart enough to know that it was going to take a quality film or two to stop the bleeding if the franchise wants a future. The only real bad news here was letting the budget go over 100 (a Venom-esque budget would have made this sound a lot better) and the fact that it's being mildly received in China. Still 300-350+ WW with the amount this had to overcome is, IMO, a big win.
  7. we know they were no watched no where near this much because Netflix isn't tooting it's own horn about them. my mom and I watched bird box Christmas Day. we both love Sandra bullock and I thought she was solid but as others have said it felt like a much lesser executed version of A Quiet Place. but facts are facts and it absolutely EXPLODED on social media. would not be surprised if Netflix started doing a film release with an a lister attached every year around the holiday.
  8. FB should finish right around 160 domestic / 470 international. 630 WW is nothing to snuff out but they need to be very, very careful with part 3.
  9. Spiderverse is front loaded but it's to be expected. Still think it can leg it out to 150 with holidays. WOOF for ME, that is a massive bomb.
  10. correct, but the Tuesday before the increases were almost identical.
  11. That's a better increase for CoG than FB had at the same point. Hoping it can find some late legs and finish in the high 160's/low 170's.
  12. so even being generous and its 40, which is being VERY generous for this type of film....that's not the kind of competition you're scared of after being in release for 3+ weeks.
  13. One thing all these films have going for them is literally NO competition or screen loss over the next two weeks. I know the first week of December is slow but still I think a lot of these films will benefit from it. I also think the weekend of the 14th is light because Mortal Engines looks like a MASSIVE bomb.
  14. At this point 170's would be okay. It would mean that Rowling/Yates/WB have to have some serious talk about making FB3 a universally liked film, while also being able to say 'hey, it was a drop but it still made 600+ WW'. This series isn't off the rails yet but it needs to be course corrected. I am in the minority and actually enjoyed the film. There was CLEARLY some story that hit the cutting room floor that hurt the film, along with other arcs that SHOULD have been taken out instead. Still, I find this story exciting and I think the third act truly saves the film.
  15. same. I mean that cast was LOADED with teenage talent but I couldn't believe how good of an actor they got when the show was starting to make its exit (when most shows just use filler shit).
  16. I'm not saying I'm happy to see Solo go so low (ha), but I do think this weekend was vindication for some of us who really got shit on the weekend of TLJ. The polarization from that film was a VERY real thing that had very real effects with the GA. The GA doesn't care about troubled production and director changes but they DO care about a previous film that leaves a very sour tase in their mouths. Some of us saw this in our social circles almost instantaneously and this weekend confirmed it if there was any doubt left. The brand isn't untouchable because NO brand is untouchable. Disney/Marvel/Lucas is going to get it right way more often that not but Solo should serve as a very real warning shot to the studio that the next saga or stand alone has a real uphill battle.
  17. Truly laughable at this point that anytime Rth hits us with an update we get a ‘My sources say’ tweet from Gitesh. Lol he’s fake news
  18. does anyone know if FB trailer is attached to this since its WB first high profile since trailer release?
  19. This has the potential to be another really fun weekend to follow if Game Night and Annihilation can break out with their reviews.
