The Box Office Buzz, Tracking, and Pre-Sale Thread
Eric the Marxist replied to Shawn Robbins's topic in Box Office Discussion
Re: Fandango polls Yes, they are plagued with recency bias and their exact rankings don't typically correlate with reality. And yeah, for specific stuff like horror or action or animation or whatever, I don't pay that any mind (though in the case of IMAX movies, yeah Twisters or Alien won't make as much as Despicable Me 4 or Inside Out 2, but not many are going to seek out IMAX specifically for those, so...) But generally speaking, their top 10s have served as a good rule of thumb and the majority of their films do reach their rankings. If you look at the summer countdowns specifically... Like yeah, the metrics have it that for 70% of the time, at least for the summer, these Fandango polls showcase a good barometer on what's connecting, and you can easily use context clues to realize that Asteroid City or Downton Abbey 2 or Sicario 2 will probably get beaten out by a July/August release that doesn't have much advertising or a kids animated movie that won't be on most Fandango users' radar. I think there's value in them IMO -

Moderation Not the Marvel thread. -
I actually want it to stay around here. Because in a couple weeks, we will have a scenario where Godzilla X Kong is the biggest Monsterverse movie WW, Kong Skull Island is the biggest OS, and Godzilla 2014 is the biggest DOM. Three separate movies have their own franchise records. That has to be a first I am assuming

I'll always remember him best as Principal Prickly on the Disney cartoon Recess. May he rest in peace.
