Last I checked, the Tracking Thread has the film gunning for 30M+. Also Wolf of Wall Street's 18M is wonky to use as a comparison when it opened on a Wednesday and during Christmas, when things are more deflated. In an October release date or something, it too would have likely gunned for 30M+.

Weirdly there's no big promo for this today. It's noon on the East Coast. By then, we would have gotten some "Tickets on sale now" blurbs from Disney/Fandango's social media pages. But it's all radio silence. I guess that will be for Monday to honor Disney 100, but then what was the point of having tickets out today? Whatever, it's not a big deal.

Cats had been off of Broadway for nearly two decades when the Hooper film came out. You're thinking of Dear Evan Hansen. That's a very, very rare case where a movie is so wretchedly godawful that it basically tarnished any and all goodwill built up within its franchise.

I see no reason why it wouldn't.

The biggest problem with Broadway proshots is that most productions generally have niche fandoms, especially compared to pop stars like Swift or Beyonce. And the ones that have broken out with the GA already have successful film adaptations (Chicago, Les Miserables, West Side Story) or already have proshots available on DVD (Phantom of the Opera). So apart from Hamilton, there's not much you can really capitalize on. At least if you want something more than a Fathom Event showing. Maybe Lion King, because it's so different from the animated movies? But that's all I can really think of.

Well with that much time to kill...who has some Taylor hot takes to share? Is me saying 1989 is her best album a hot take? Because I guess that's mine. Though Bad Blood is pretty trash. Red is a fun one too, though that is more thanks to certain singles like 22 and We Are Never Getting Back Together.

Moderation Sorry y'all, but we don't allow trailers that aren't publicly released by the studios here, as it falls under bootleg footage. We'll have to wait until Paramount launches the trailer.

If you're this pigheaded and bigoted, you'll make the time. It's wild people want to be this problematic and hateful, because it takes less effort to be a chill, normal person. C'est la vie.

Would basically have the same amount of attendees if prices were lowered. Concert movies like these only appeal to people who are already fans of Taylor Swift. There's nobody who isn't into Swift who would see a three-hour concert movie because tickets are cheaper. Really, this is the best outcome for Swift, since she's getting more money, clout for having one of the biggest October openings, even if it's lowkey cheating, and the studios get shit on for not paying their writers and actors properly. It's a win-win-win for the parties that matter and deserve it. (Yes I know Swift is already a multi-billionaire, so maybe she doesn't really "deserve it" lmao. But you know what I mean)

Moderation

Moderation Bigfoot is an alt of Jessie. He's a bigoted, alt-right asshole, he's been one for years, he's been banned for years, he has no life and just makes alts in a forum he hates, and it's better for everybody here if you don't even attempt to give him the time of day. Thank you.

Exorcist dropping at 66%...that has to be intentional 🤔

Moderation @Willowra For about 5 pages now, you have regurgitated the exact same hyperbole of "The Marvels not being called Captain Marvel 2 means Carol Danvers is irrelevant and Marvel doesn't care about her. This movie will bomb and we will never see Carol in another movie ever ever again. Carol is going to be the leader of The Avengers, meaning The Avengers movies will all bomb from now on". It has been nothing but these posts ad nauseum. It has run its course, isn't offering anything constructive to the conversation, and frankly is starting to feel like you are baiting and trolling Captain Marvel/MCU fans. If you can't think of anything else to add that you have already said before, then I don't think it's a good idea to continue posting.

Does the exact day tickets go on sale really matter? Like is anybody who is excited for The Marvels suddenly going to lose interest and not see it because tickets launched on a Monday instead of a Wednesday? I get the idea that some movies may not get sold right away due to competition from another movie, but like those people will still purchase tickets.

GUYS HIS HAIR WHEN ITS WET HIS HAIRRRRRRRRRRRR

Really? Huh. I thought after Kundun that Scorsese movies were a no-no.

Scorsese is banned in China.

Moderation I didn't want to have to do this, but @andersonhoran has been threadbanned for directly ignoring my posts and continuing to post grossly offensive rhetoric. As a reminder to everybody, when a staff member tells you to stop something, you stop with no ifs, ands, or buts about it. And if you really have a problem with a moderation warning for whatever reason, it's best if you talk to said mod privately.

Moderation @andersonhoran You probably didn't see this eariler, but we aren't using the current Israel-Palestine conflict as an excuse for an unrelated movie's potential box office. If you do this again, you will lead me with no other choice but to give you a threadban.

lol when I read the thread title, my brain read "MJF" as Michael J. Fox. Was very concerned, because that man should not be wrestling in his condition 🤣
