Fair bit lower than Beau’s 35.3K Friday average, but that was more fan-driven and had some Q&As IIRC. Hopefully things are more stable and we might get an average on par? I dunno, extrapolating limited releases like these are hard.

Funny. I was told that Europe were appalled at Ariel being Black and that they hated how Disney made it American and political. Strange 🤔

Moderation Not the Star Wars thread.

The whole "nobody puts big movies the weekend after Memorial Day" opener is very, very silly. There's always been a big movie on that weekend as long as I can remember. @AJG Deadline Anthony strikes again!

Oh absolutely. The first Spider-Verse has some of the strongest post-theatrical longevity I've seen in a recent movie. For a good while, especially after it hit Netflix, I've seen my Animation Twitter, CBM Twitter, Meme Twitter, and just GA Twitter mutals all talking about this movie and gushing over it for years on end. Even the Film Twitter weirdos who hate everything Marvel and hype up vulgar auteurism love Spider-Verse. It's inane. That's already happened. Mitchells vs. Machines, The Bad Guys, Puss in Boots 2, that new TMNT movie. They all copy the Spider-Verse artstyle and the filmmakers have all stated in interviews that Spider-Verse was a huge influence in the art direction. With that and so many movies copying its multiverse premise, this is probably the most influential animated movie industry-wide since arguably the first Shrek movie. (note I said industry-wide. Something like Frozen was influential for Disney specifically, but not the whole industry IMO)

I mean I guess it kind of counts, but it's a weird gray area where it goes either way, while Mermaid and Verse are more definite. But sure, I guess we can say 3 in a row.

This was cute when the first Spider-Verse did the meme, but we really need some new material these days.

Was thinking the same thing. All the smart prognosticators here, Nash and Han and Clay, are all on board with Barbie getting a Best Picture nomination, and like...am I going crazy here? Are we really doing this after Lego Movie whiffed Best Animated Feature all these years ago?

Subject to change by tomorrow of course, but I think this has to be the first time ever that two #1 openings in a row, this and Little Mermaid, where Caucasians weren't the majority audience. I think that's pretty neat.

RT Verified Aud. scores as of noon EST: Spider-Verse: 97% The Boogeyman: 73% (only 50+ ratings, still very subject to change)
