MUSHROOM KINGDOM HERE WE COME First of all, happy first day of Passover to all our wonderful and beautiful Jewish members. I’m sure you all are excited to partake in your annual viewing of both Uncut Gems and that one episode of Rugrats. And I’m sure you’re also excited to partake in an epic weekend consisting of 90s Nintendo and Nike nostalgia...and I guess Bob Ross nostalgia for you older folks. Yes indeed, after years and years of hype, Nintendo has finally returned to the world that is cinema. 1993’s first attempt was...flawed, but over the decades, Nintendo is a whole new beast. With tons of hit consoles and Mario upping itself with masterclass game after game after game, the franchise is the biggest it has ever been. And because of that, we're getting a new movie from the people who brought us the Minions. While reviews are...flawed, the film promises to be an incredible nostalgia dose for Nintendo fans and full of fan service for anybody who played a Mario game since 1985. Kids and adults are tracking like crazy, with this set to be a monster this Easter weekend. The real question isn't what it will make, but how high will it go? This will be an exciting weekend for us box office nerds and the industry, as video game movies are looking to be the hip new thing as superhero movies find themselves on the decline, and this will be the biggest kids movie in a long, long time. Will this momentum carry into the summer? Only time will tell. But for now, let's just enjoy the fun. But to have fun, you need rules. And so.... 1. ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS. NOT EVEN SPOILERS POSTED UNDER SPOILER TAGS. This rule also applies to other movies in theaters and films/shows recently released on streaming. So no Dungeons and Dragons spoilers, no Air spoilers, no Succession spoilers, etc. If you do spoil something here, you will be banned. No exceptions. 2. GOOD VIBES! Big weekends like these are supposed to be fun. So don’t be a party pooper and ruin things for everybody. No matter what the film opens to, it's still gonna make bank and plenty of Nintendo excitement to come. So just enjoy the ride. 3. THE REPORT AND IGNORE BUTTONS ARE YOUR FRIENDS. 4. IS OFF-TOPIC DISCUSSION OKAY? Off-topic discussions are okay in situations where there's downtime and there aren't any numbers, so long as they don’t get heated. But when numbers are coming up and things are getting busy, then keep off-topic things down to the minimum. And lastly... 5. DON'T BE A DICK. So with that out of the way... WITHOUT FURTHER ADO LET'S DO THIS SHIT

Dude's still making YouTube videos? Huh. Good for him I guess?

I PROMISE I WILL WATCH IT SOON OKAY

https://thequorum.com/ It's generally been a solid correlation in terms of how high the numbers are vs. how high the opening goes, though it's still very, very early for Barbie and the needle can change drastically. It's best to wait two months before release or sooner before making major proclamations.

I want to agree, but Dune still had a pretty set and understandable target audience it was pushing and had festival/awards cred behind it. I love the marketing so far, but I feel this doesn't really have an obvious target audience. Barbie's a property aimed at 5-year-old girls, which means it has a major uphill battle appealing to adults. And for kids, this is looking very meta and satirical and seems to have a lot of stuff that would go over a child's head. Lego Movie at least has a lot of goofy slapstick and silly characters. It feels like it's aimed at terminally online Film Twitter nerds like me, but that's not really the demo you should be targeting for anything. Plus while it has high awareness on The Quorum, the interest is near rock bottom. That's not really a good combo to be in. Would love to be proven wrong of course.

Dude, we dont' need this.

I don't know why this tweet got a laugh out of me, but it did.

I just watched Space Jam 2 for the first time and it made me realize something... Warner Bros. actually SUCKS This whole thing is canceled now good night 😠

Go figure. Still not...you know, good, but we're in a new age. Just gonna have to deal with it. (for the record, I'm not doing any "First Day" comp stuff, because tackling three movies with a huge number of showings drained me last night, I also have to set up the Mario weekend thread later, and I just don't have infinite time on my hands. Please don't ask for my mental health's sake)

But I mean the 3-5M from the higher end comps would be very much good for a movie like this. So let's be optimistic and say it's this.

Yep. All three are good. WB had a tiny part in their initial release, so they are good. I will add them into the masterlist later, because I don't have that time on my hands right now. I'm telling you, this shit took years to compile and I hate it
