Comicbook fans is the key word here. I’m not sure general audiences will care.

I don’t know. The Favourite’s widest expansion was only 1500 theaters. It’s performing about on par with that film. However there isn’t a lot of product in February (only 7 *new* wide releases) so maybe it has a chance.

I don’t see that happening. It’ll be Mean Girls or The Beekeeper unless Miller’s Girl pulls off a surprise.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been more marketing for this considering it has one of Gen Z popular actresses.

Well it won’t appeal to anyone else so it’s a good tactic

Probably. lol But im guessing it will take alot more work to get the same viral marketing going. Vampire movies have been hit or miss (mostly miss) within the last several years.

Joseph Quinn has a good agent too. He really is making the most of his short Stranger Things stint. All of sudden he’s in a bunch of huge movies.

Yes most colleges and schools k-12 are back in session.

Universal also has an Untitled Monster movie staring Melissa Berrara currently slated for 4/19. That might be moving up to 4/12 or getting pushed back.

I don’t think it’ll be a huge theater drop but it’s a tough to see it jumping to 2nd place as some people have suggested. Especially when it has the most direct competition coming from Mean Girls. But anything is possible I guess.

I don’t think so Probably Gonna lose some theaters and it’s competing for similar audience with Mean Girls.

It’s likely getting moved. Maybe to summer.

The Color Purple Regal Cinema 1/3/23 8 pm showing 4 people Trailers: Unsung Hero The American Society of Magical Negros The Book of Clarence Godzilla x Kong The New Empire Everyone danced and singed along, so they seemed to enjoy it.

I agree. I’m not sure what the purpose of this is. I smell another Eternals.

I don’t think Challengers going to be huge but I’m predicting it to land around the 30m range. Dune is also gonna be way bigger than Madame Web.

New trailer probably coming to attach with Mean Girls.

They’ll probably do another expansion during the week of Oscar nominations. (Jan 23)

I don’t think it’s going to breakout but it should do solid enough business being the first real kids movie since Christmas.

It could easily just be a bunch of mid level performers, there isn’t always a break out especially in this market where people have other forms of entertainment besides movie theaters. If I had to guess, I’d say Mean Girls looks like it has the best chance to crack 100m and then probably Argylle for the Jan-Feb period. The March- April period looks better with atleast 4 potential 100m+ grossers : Dune, Kung Fu Panda, Ghostbusters, and Godzilla. You also have some small-mid budget films like Civil War and Challengers with a bit of buzz that could overperform.

No way it gets to 100m. It has no buzz or hype.

It seems like they are still moving forward with this. I think they should scrap it but maybe it’s too far along in production to do that.

Studios had to mostly abandon Q1 when it looked like the strike would go deeper into November. They got lucky the deal went through before Thanksgiving and were able to somewhat salvage the summer and fall/winter.

Anyone But You had a bigger Boxing Day than Christmas Day. Strange. Is it because of discount Tuesday?

January looks weak on paper but it’s not like it was stronger this year. M3gan and Avatar saved Jan and it seems like Mean Girls and holiday leftovers will do the same in 2024. Feburary will be hugely down though because of the absence of a blockbuster. Madame Web is gonna flop. Feb 2023 had Ant-Man.

CMBYN only made 18m dom (41 m Ww) so it’s not a high bar. But I agree Zendaya can probably drag Challengers to 20m. It doesnt seem like the audience that they draw is very large though. Hollywood needs to give these young actors better star vehicles that appeal to all demos.
