Mother's Day helps of course, but definitely some much better holds compared to last week. Fall Guy's also a tad better compared to Lost City, so that's a nice feather in its cap. It's good thing for all these movies too, since I'm sure next week will probably be similar to last week with three new wide releases taking over things.

Since we are talking about 2001 summer, looked up the running time for the movies that summer and they are
Mummy Returns - 126min
Planet of the Apes - 119min
Rush Hour 2 - 90min
Jurassic Park 3 - 92min
The Fast and The Furious - 102min
Pearl Harbor - 182min
Maybe we do need movies to start losing some bloat again.
The mean those movies stink, but I do agree we need to cut the fat. I marathoned the Fast and Furious, Indiana Jones, and Mission: Impossible movies last year. And while not all of them are perfect, the earlier ones felt pretty breezy and well-paced at 130 minutes or less. With stuff like Dial of Destiny and Fast X, you can really feel how padded out they are. How you could cut out one or two set pieces here and there and not change a thing. I’m not sure why every blockbuster is 2.5 hours nowadays, but we might need to really determine if we are really getting our bang for our buck here with these runtimes.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes saw 64% men turnout with 18-34 year olds repping 57% of the audience with the 25-34 year old segment being the biggest demo at close to a third. Solid diversity demos in 35% Caucasian, 27% Latino and Hispanic, 22% Black, and 9% Asian. Those moviegoers going bananas for this sequel were in the South, South Central and West. AMC Burbank is currently the highest grossing theater in the nation with $67K.

It’s funny, because the Burton version’s ending is more accurate to the book. But it all comes so fast and out of nowhere that it just makes you lost and confused once it’s all over. The 1968 film’s ending is also kind of out of nowhere, but it really does hit you like a truck and works so much better thematically. Really shows what good direction and pacing does to a script.

2001 was a hell of a summer movie season. Mummy Returns, Pearl Harbor, Jurassic Park 3, Planet of the Apes, Rush Hour 2 all opened above 50M and 3 of them had the second biggest weekend of all time when they opened. Rush Hour 2 came close to breaking the OW record as well.
2001 was a wild year for the box office…and you know, only the box office.
So many movies had some of the best openings in history at that point in some shape or form. Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter also signified the beginning of the IP invasion, where movies were sold on their brand rather than stars. You look at the top 5 of 2000 and all the star-driven tentpoles (even Grinch and M:I 2 were sold more on their actors than IP) to the top 5 of 2001 and especially 2002, and its night and day.
2001 was the stepping stone to the NTC insanity we are in today. Probably should have stopped all this before it was too late.

I didn't think there was much appeal to the advertising other than "we made another one" so this series might just have a higher floor than I expected because I thought it was really gonna flop bad. The Mark Wahlberg one did have the second biggest opening weekend of all-time back when it dropped.
Very curious about the alternate reality where the Burton movie was actually good. It was on the same level of openings as Star Wars and Jurassic Park at that time, so would that lead to similar 200M style openings for the franchise? Maybe not that huge, but it’s still fascinating.

Man I don’t know what y’all are seeing in Kingdom cause I just saw a bunch of mediocrity. The action sequence where she jumps on the horse was good though.
I just said I liked it. Never said I loved it 🤷

Apes having strong walkups again. Not too far off Dune 2 as of 7pm EST
Comps are at $17.83M
Don’t want to jinx things, but 24 Friday could happen! Maybe!

These would be good holds all around, especially compared to last week. Mother's Day helps yeah, but it's not like it'll benefit GxK very much. Hoping Apes can get to the higher end and reach 22M. Really liked the movie.

I mean Apes does have Furiosa and Bad Boys crossover, but there is still an untapped teen/family audience, albeit a small one, that can still help make it an option for those not interested in all the animated stuff. Regardless, I still have faith it can at least match War’s legs, which would still result in a solid gross.

The verified streets have spoken.It’s over.
That’s nice. I don’t care. We don’t need 5 pages of doom and gloom nonsense before we get the official preview number. We don’t need to say the franchise is dead forever or that Wes Ball lost his job or that it will have horrific WOM right out the gate. It’s too early in the morning for this. So please curb this hyperbole. And if you really need to get it out of your system, take note that this isn’t the only place on the Internet where you can talk about Planet of the Apes.

It seems like this is facing the same issue as the last movie, namely that its methodical, lumbering tone is turning off a lot of people outside of the core demographic. That new trilogy likely isn't happening anymore, but Wes Ball should be able to get his Zelda movie off the ground at least.
It’s not even 6 AM on the East Coast. Don’t need these proclamations this early dawg
