At my theater, The Greatest Showman's second screen (average screen) got its later showings scrapped on Saturday and Sunday for more Jumanji (the 4:00 on Sunday couldn't be scrapped because seats have sold). Like I said earlier, Showman is more of a morning movie, and if my audience was any indication today, it isn't really skewing to families.
Eh, I never really considered Greatest Showman a family movie. I always thought it was going to be a Walter Mitty/Hidden Figures, where it's skewed and mainly marketed towards adult audiences, in spite of a PG rating and Fox arguably wanting to appeal towards the youth (The trailer was attached to a handful of animated movies, and it also had Zefron and Zendaya)

Oh, and I had some interesting trailer reactions at my showing (a quiet audience throughout the movie though). The audience was evenly split between teens and seniors, and the seniors loved the trailers for Sherlock Gnomes and Peter Rabbit while they despised the trailer for Love, Simon. The teens were the exact opposite
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again unified the audience positively at least!
Good to know today's youth is on the right track.

Plans to see Call Me by Your Name have been delayed to next week. Sorry, CoolEric!
Um...cool? I haven't seen it yet.

As long as I get to be played by both Timothee Chalamet and Armie Hammer, I'd consider BOT: The Movie to be a success.

I'm sorry
If it makes you feel better, I love Amanda Seyfried.
(And Lily James.)
One of my first crushes as a kid. If anything, I'm happy this movie exists to give her more work, because I'm pretty sure the last thing she was in was Ted 2. That's not a good note to end on.

Speaking of audience scores, the other day I was looking at Ferdinand's RT page, and the audience score dropped all the way to 44%. December 15 was the day childhood died.

26 is a great age. Not old at all. Very cool age!
But...I'll be out of college, and I don't know how to be an adult.

2023 will have a Christmas Monday.
Well, in that case, I'll be 26. That's an even scarier thought.

After this year, Christmas won't be falling on a Monday again until 2028
I can't imagine what the box office (or worse: I) will be like in 11 years
I'm gonna be 31 come Christmas 2028. That's the scariest thought I've had all day.

Let people get excited about MAMMA MIA 2. Heaven forbid someone stans for a sequel that’s not some big geek franchise.
Agreed. I just like to mess with Ethan.

That movie has a huge demographic advantage, well known Asian actors and an empty August. I can see it easily doing 100M. The books are really well known among the community as well. It's an event movie for a demographic which does not see themselves as leads of movies normally.
Not as confident in $100M, but I feel it can breeze past $70M and make a solid case for above $80M for all the reasons you listed.

I've decided that the fact there is more hype for the next avenger movie than MAMA MIA: HERE WE GO AGAIN is precisely why we can't have nice things

Huh. I had no idea you were an ABBA fan.

I still remember my mom losing it over "Last Call Pitches" when we got the trailer at Baby Driver. It was at that moment I realized my Mom's a dork.
