Again, there's a difference between thinking something could do something (or predicting it) and being open to the fact that it's possible for something to happen. For example, I think it's possible for IW to break the OW record even though that's not what my current prediction is (granted, I think that's more likely than whatever chance I would have given Blockers to make 100m).

I didn’t think it would but there was a long shot chance for it to develop strong legs. Now that chance is gone

The average consumer would need to see 5 movies over those 3 months to break even? Not a terrible deal but also not going to do anything to help MP’s profitability

ICOI is done now, last week I thought it had a long shot chance at 100m but it would have needed to keep up the 20% drops or lower. Still an impressive list run. BP is still up in the air on hitting 700m but it’ll really need an IW double feature boost. Plus, I think early VOD release could put an early end to its legs. Blockers is doing well but won’t hit 100m after that drop. Nice opening for Truth or Dare, I expect It to collapse though. Rampage has a decent opening but I think it’ll hit around 85-95m, OW is to small to leg its way to 100m when IW will kill it two weeks from now. Wrinkle In Time will probably end its run around 95m or so, doesn’t look like it’ll have enough juice to push it to 100m. A Quiet Place is obviously doing great, with a second weekend above what some people had for its opening. It’s definitely gotten a lot of buzz and I think its legs will keep up, despite some heavy competition these next few weeks.

The only thing disturbing about that is the phrase “my greatest showman sing along screening”.

How Han dances

I’m not really in a position to think this deal is great for consumers, but how does it increase barriers to entry for incoming studios? Especially since smaller indie studio flicks is almost an entirely different market than big studio flicks. If anything, this deal seems more of a result of a market that focuses more on fewer but more expensive investments, as streaming has pulled demand from mid budget faire. This would incentivize a market where you have a few big studios making blockbusters and room for smaller studios to produce small, inexpensive indie hits.

I’d reckon starpower is like seasoning or sauce to a meal. It can definitely help it out, but if the food isn’t cooked there’s only so much it can do.

I think it’s silly to claim Dwayne isn’t a draw after this is underperforming. A draw doesn’t mean you turn every movie you’re in into a smash hit. A draw means you increase a movie’s gross by some marginal amount. A Rampage movie just like this one, just with no Dwayne, would probably be looking at a sub-20m OW, at least my guess. A star or big name can draw interest or publicity to a movie but you need a quality looking movie to sell. It doesn’t matter who the actor is, if somebody thinks a movie looks like a dud that’s a stronger counter factor than having a big name in the starring role. Something like Jumanji did so well because it was a crowdpleasing hit first and foremost. I reckon the big names simply helped sell the movie even further (although I’d also say the quality of their big names and how they fit those roles were a big factor in the movie being crowdpleasing).

How much would Rampage have made with no Dwayne? Comparisons of similar movies would make you think sub-20m OW. Theres really no such thing though as somebody who’s such a draw that they can turn a movie into a hit all by themselves. I was expecting a breakout for Rampage but I think RPO and AQP saturated some of that blockbuster demand, with IW being right around the corner also taking away some of the attention. I think had it been able to have more distance from the early April hits and stay two weeks from IW it could have opened a bit higher. Probably low to mid thirties. Odd though how the movie we all thought would be the big hit between BP and IW wasn’t one at all. I’ll admit, prior to the poor tracking the week before Rampage’s release, I was thinking a 45mish OW.

Soft Deadline is in 10 Days, after that any edits to your list won’t be read after I input the scores.

Plot seems to be ”Corporate dude (likely the villain) wants to start superheroes back up, wants Elastigirl. Incredible stays home and learns to parent. Villain comes out in the end that requires all of the supes to team up and take him out. Ends on a moral about family and parenting”

Girls these days want a white blonde boy with sleeked back hair who raise their tiki torches while shouting either “Build the Wall” or “Release the Snyder cuts!”

This white boy straight up follows every member of the Trump family and Ben Shapiro. I don’t think I can be jealous of a white supremacist, if anything I feel shame because I dated somebody who is now dating a white supremacist. Yikes.

Wow, so my last ex is dating a Trumper. And not just any Trump supporter, this guy is a #BuildTheWall Maga hat trumper, who also wants DC to release the Snyder cut of Justice League. (She’s also Hispanic so I don’t get how you date somebody who wants to deport you, but that’s just me) What does that say about me if she looks for a certain type? Yikes. Im just going to assume this is a case where you go for the opposite of whatever your ex was.

It’s called a student research conference at my university but you’re allowed to enter in your paper for a competition aspect where they judge the papers with an interdisciplinary group of professors from the university. They’ll award the top 3 undergraduate and graduate papers and posters based off the scoring or something like that. I don’t really get how they’re supposed to compare thesis work from say a humanities major, to an engineering design, to data research, to a lab experiments though.

I won my universities undergraduate research conference today!

I watched the trailer, and what I’m confused about is why do they have to kill the shark? Sure it’s a monster movie, shouldn’t logic your way through it, but it doesn’t make much sense. Plus, it’s counter to what we should actually do if we discovered a species that was on the bridge of extinction.
