November 18 The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes: I know it was fun, still fun in fact, to dunk on this and the franchise. And we all have said this new movie is going to be a huge bomb and a waste of time...but I think we all have to eat crow soon. The Hunger Games is now a part of the nostalgia cycle, which saw Twilight benefit big time once it hit Netflix a couple years ago. And Lionsgate will do everything to make sure people know Hunger Games is coming back and tackle people's fond memories. The Quorum already shows there’s tons of awareness of this new movie already and it even landed on the Fandango Top 10 list despite one brief teaser and a few stills. People are excited for this believe it or not. Mockingjay Part 2 numbers sound about right. Weird to think this was a disappointing gross back in the day, but that’s the current box office decline for ya...well, and it's also a spin-off, so I guess it's justifiable. 110/285 (2.59x) Trolls 3: Unlike Paw Patrol, I do think the toys and merch for Trolls has slowed down a bit. Just at a cursory glance, doesn't seem like it's around as much as it was from 2017-19. And yeah, there’s not much of an older crowd that will turn up for this, which is bad news in a world where kids don’t care about theaters anymore. But while I have it where it just misses, it still has enough cache as a franchise where it could pass the century mark. Which is better than the other animated movie coming out this year. 25/95 (3.8x)

November 3 Dune: Part Two: Fuck you, I’m voting big on this. Dune had incredibly sturdy legs despite its HBO Max availability, and the strong reception has made the franchise bigger than ever. Like the Lord of the Rings movies, this film served as a major entry point for new fans and I feel plenty of people have gone on to read the books for the first time after this movie's release. I know I have. Plus with solid reception and a growing fandom, there is plenty excitement from many to see how this story all ends. Both from people who know what happens and newbies who don't have a clue what the future holds. Expect a huge jump from the last movie and this franchise becoming a very big deal for WB in our post-Zas world. 95/255 (2.68x)

Sadly @WrathOfHan has been piled up with more and more work at his job, so I feel it's better if I continue my posts and Han will do his whenever he is ready. I am very sorry for making people wait, but I hope these final two months are worth it for all of you.

It was an accident. Was trying to split some of the posts to a different thread for weekdays (again, if you have a Monday estimate, even a guesstimate, there's no point keeping it in the weekend thread) but then hit some wrong buttons.

Too bad the 3D looked atrocious in the first trailer. Guardians looks like it's using the format wayyyyyy better by comparison.

Gross.

So are we...actually getting this trailer? Pretty sure it should have come out by now.

Literally what was even the point of making this a theatrical release and not a Max Original lmao

You clearly don’t know Coppola lmao. I would have been surprised if this didn’t happen

I'm making fajitas for dinners tonight. I guess that fits?

Other Quorum data that's also dated for January 5, but I didn't notice or presumably wasn't updated until today. Nothing to report here in terms of T-60/T-30 results, but for posterity's sake... Jesus Revolution T-50: 14.49% Awareness, 4.79 Interest Shazam! Fury of the Gods T-71: 42.64%, 5.51 The Super Mario Bros. Movie T-92: 52.53%, 6.19 Renfield T-99: 16%, 5.14 The Marvels T-204: 41.74%, 6.33

Aren't Twitter trends personalized based on your account activity? Like there's also the generic "United States Trends" and I haven't seen Ant-Man pop up there outside of trailer launches.

Moderation Just a reminder before I head to bed that you can argue and debate if The Way of Water's legs are above average, average, or below average without insulting the other person's intelligence. Last I checked, we are adults, correct?
