    It showed the Captain Marvel movie was just endgame hype.

    Did some people actually think Captain Marvel was a good movie that deserved a sequel before Marvels released? It was always obviously just Endgame setup.

    I don't think any self-respecting filmmaker wants to be associated with that franchise for at least a while (especially a reboot of the franchise)

    Any self-respecting filmmaker knows to separate the art from the artist. A lot of them would love to work on something as big as the HP reboot.

    I don't understand this narrative where The little mermaid did well but Mission Impossible DR P1, which had the exact same WW gross and roughly the same budget (TLM's 250 M is a low estimate) was an epic bomb. Both were disappointments coming from 1B expectation and both didn't earn well enough to recoup their budget (Though TLM was expected to break even with ancillaries like toy sales, but it should be verified if that was actually the case since, as far as I know, the international merch sales were disastrous).  

    They didn't totally collapse and earned well enough for the theatres chains which is a great thing in itself though.

    It's because many people expected the success of Top Gun Maverick to extend onto MI:DR1, which was an unrealistic thing to expect.

    He was apparently given 20% of gross. It's unclear if that's just domestic or international. Even just domestic, he's walking away with a ridiculous amount.

    Shit, his paycheck might rival Cruise's for TGM if true. Papa Nolan needs a new flip phone.

    They banned him because that mess took him up to 10 warning points, it wasn't an isolated incident. For someone that prides himself on doing the research, you don't seem to know how to read. 

    That attitude you are having towards baumer right now is exactly what got Empire banned, according to the mod team. I guess you would be okay with getting warning points/banned for that since you seem to agree with their actions.

  6.       Banning the most valuable member of the forum is not a very smart thing to do, especially when said member was just being confrontational at times, with strong opinions. I could care less about how many warnings he has received, you cannot just tell someone not to express their voice. This ban says more about the mod team than it does about Empire.

          A loss not just to this forum, but to the entire boxoffice tracking community.

  7. From the get-go, the movie had insane sellout %s. Had it released closer to the holidays, I don't think the difference would've been that big. It would've provided better legs in its first 10 weeks, sure, but I'm confident the end result would've been similar. Besides, nobody was expecting for it to be THIS big. I doubt anyone involved in the making and distribution of the movie was expecting it to become the most-attended movie in japan of all time. And even if they knew, I doubt they're anything less than exhilarated with the current results and a sooner return on investments is always better than a delayed ROI.

    Hong Kong thinking HK$13.25mn / $1.7mn / ¥180mn weekend.

     

    Taiwan NT$63mn or $2.2mn (-42%) weekend. Total NT$373mn or $13mn or ¥1.362Bn.

     

    Singapore no info yet.

     

    Worldwide ¥24.9Bn or $237.5mn Approx.

     

    Amazing hold, the giveaways had a strong effect and we got a couple more giveaway weekends coming + holidays. The perfect storm.

    I´m not a Japanese box office expert, but i think it´s too early to assure SA is toasted, cause is 8.5 million admissions away, and this is a very respectable number, at least this is my opinion...

    It's easily on pace to do so. When can we start assuring that it will pass SA? When it's 1 million admissions away? 10k admissions away? Reality is in front of us and it's near impossible for it to miss SA at this point. The question is by how much will it go past it.

     

     The likelihood of it surpassing SA far, far outweighs the opposite, so I don't know why there's still talk as if the likelihoods are reversed.

  10. Come January, I will be curious to see an analysis of how much revenue the Demon Slayer property generated between January 2020 and January 2021. I'm talking about everything: manga, bluray/dvd sales, movie gross, merchandise. Probably out of this world and whatever the numbers are for each category, each will hold the record for a very long time if not ever (Japan). Revenue in a single year, that is.
