Gotten the trailer a couple times in theaters, and for some reason I tear up when it plays? It’s weird, because I hate “What A Wonderful World”.

Wow! Surprisingly good presale ticket numbers for each of the Lord of the Rings-films. If one of them does very well close to the numbers of the SW:TPM re-release or so, then god knows how much money at the box office the ”The Lion King”-re release might do next month. 🫣🤯
Lion King's probably just doing like 5M or something lol (not a bad thing, mind you)

I hope it legs out. And please, I want a sequel.
Would be surprised if we didn't get that announcement at this point. Maybe it'll be official at D23.

400M will be a crawl.
I don't think we're getting there. But 390's still good.

To be fair, you think the cast of twisters is going to be the main selling point? I mean I love Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman but I don't think anybody was going to see Twister because they were in it.
I mean I think Anthony Ramos and Glen Powell are cute, so I guess the cast is the main selling point for me 🙃

You just made me realize the huge pressure Bad Boys is under. If it opens under Apes…is it because of Mickey’s Law? 🤔
Yep. The law's returned. I'm calling it! (yes I know it could beat it in actuals lol)

Would love to see Bad Boys get as high as it can and if it hits $58m+ and passes Apes' ow, it will put a stop on Disney movies passing down the biggest opener of the Summer title to each other.

What has Kevin James been up to anyways? I don’t even think he’s in Adam Sandler’s Netflix movies. Last thing I heard about him was his network sitcom getting canceled after they killed off his wife in order to get Leah Remini on board.

I will say there is validity in movies being “too expensive”, but not because of monetary reasons. Rather, streaming made movie tickets way less valuable. Pre-COVID, you had about three services, unless you wanna be that guy and include CBS All Access. Now, we have a whopping 8 major SVOD services
with large subscriber pools and there a lot of money spent to make sure these services expand their library size. In original stuff and old legacy stuff. When you have the option of 8 huge libraries in your house that costs the same, sometimes less than a movie ticket…yeah, that does feel worthless all of a sudden, barring the occasional nostalgic toy commercial.
It’s not even really the fault of exhibitors. I don’t know how you can compete with something that offers 1,000+ movies and TV shows for $15. And even if Paramount or Peacock bite the dust, there’s still 6 services with huge libraries and lineups to get for cheap. And that isn’t even getting into Tubi or Roku Channel or Pluto, which offer the same value for free.

Minecraft definitely. What an utterly pointless movie. My nephew is a massive Minecraft fan and even he's like "Why are they doing a movie?"
I'm just baffled why it's live-action. Like...do the fans want something that will literally look nothing like the games? Like have it animated, make it look like a high-res version of the game, get Kevin Hart to voice one of the Creepers, and you're golden.

I dunno what would have been better, but Detective Pikachu's 3 week distance from Avengers Endgame was apparently not enough.
Detective Pikachu honestly came out in the worst summer possible. No matter where you put it, it was gonna get crushed by Endgame, by Toy Story, by Spider-Man, by Lion King. Any other summer prior, it could have comfortably got to around Lego Movie numbers IMO

QuoteFRIDAY AFTERNOON: Exhibitors and distribution execs, even non-Sony ones, are breathing a sigh of relief as it looks like the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence fourthquel Bad Boys: Ride or Die is heading to $50M this weekend at 3,885 theaters. This is after a $20M-$21M Friday which includes last night’s previews of $5.9M. Last night’s evening shows were solid, and they held up against the first night of NBA finals. Bad Boys 4 has all the octane from PLFs and Imax screens. Very good news after this summer has seen such notable event movies like Fall Guy and Furiosa underperforming.
Sony can further crow about their hold on the No. 2 spot this weekend with Garfield The Movie which is seeing a third frame of $9M-$10M, -32% for a running total of $68.6M on the high end by Sunday at 3,959.
Third belongs to Paramount’s family movie IF with a fourth weekend of $7.1M at 3,582 theaters, -32%, after $2M Friday and a running total of $92.6M by Sunday. That will be 1% ahead of Ryan Reynolds’ Free Guy at the same point in time which ended its US/Canada run at $121.6M.
Crashing in fourth place is New Line‘s Ishana Shyamalan directed thriller, The Watchers, with $3M today, including $1M previews, for what’s looking like a $6M-$7M start at 3,351 theaters. M. Night Shyamalan, who produced his daughter’s movies, also self finances them and then sells them to the studio. In the wake of working with Universal, Warner Bros. attracted him over to their lot. I’m told that the studio shelled out $30M before P&A for The Watchers alone. This movie is not a Lionsgate genre thrifty price-profit special.
And by the end of this weekend, 20th Century Studios/Disney’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes from filmmaker Wes Ball can beat its chest for surpassing the domestic gross of the previous 2017 movie from Matt Reeves, War for the Planet of the Apes ($146.88M) with $150M. Currently the highest grossing movie of the summer will see a fifth weekend of $5.75M, -36%.

Weekend Numbers [June 07-09, 2024] | actuals | 56.5M BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE | 10.0M GARFIELD | 7.8M IF | 7.0M THE WATCHERS
in Numbers and Data

Yeah I guess in hindsight it’ll probably just be a trade announcement, since I doubt it will come out in the next two years. But I could see them getting another director if Ball is too busy. Who knows?
