I understand why Smile has a strong hold, but Terrifier 2 falling only 36% even though Halloween is over is like…this film’s just unstoppable. How is it doing that?

You can rent it on iTunes for $4. That's the same cost as a Big Mac. Only this time, Avatar won't clog your arteries. It's not a big deal lol

Wack on a stick

Okay.

I mean disregarding that the first film came out during the middle of the Trump administration, the first movie's RT score is from a different era. With Verified RT scores, only for users who bought tickets on Fandango, it makes it almost impossible to review bomb. The only reviews are from people who purposely bought tickets to see Black Panther 2. Why would a racist see a film called "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever"? For instance, The Woman King got major review bombs from alt-righters and MAGAites. But its RT Aud. score is at 99%. So yeah, the movie will be fine.

WHAT

How can you not feel something with a bod like this?

Across the Spider-Verse was in the October 7 slot, but then got pushed at the last minute. I thought that would be where Black Adam would move to, but I guess they were afraid of losing their PLFs and IMAX to Halloween Ends in its second weekend. But like...they were going to lose them anyways. Might as well take the L on the second weekend, drop in the 60s, and then have the next three weeks with no competition. It's way better than getting chopped off after the fourth weekend.

I already explained this many times before, but Indy has everything going for it. 80s nostalgia/legacy sequel premise, iconic brand that's still super popular, Harrison Ford returning to his most iconic role, the Disney marketing machine, a dynamite cast, these kinds adventure movies generating solid business recently and James Mangold directing, who I feel has a better understanding on what modern audiences want in blockbusters compared to Spielberg (not a diss of course, Spielberg will always be the GOAT). Plus this the 15-year gap between this and Crystal Skull is perfect. Long enough where the bad taste of the last film has gone away and long enough where people feel the nostalgia bug again. Plus despite poor audience reception, Crystal Skull still adjusts to 405M in today's money. 320M would frankly be a 20% fall from admissions. That just doesn't feel right to me. Also scrolling down a little bit, but the new Ghostbusters film will do fine. I couldn't stand Afterlife, but the fanbase was into it, the franchise is still popular, and WOM was pretty solid. They won't have the nostalgia hook, but that's canceled out by Christmas legs. It should at least match the first movie. May even outgross it.

Okay.

Imma be real with you and say that my Dune prediction is half-based on Timothee-related horniness 🙃. Still optimistic on those two breaking out highly tho

Is there a reason why Lyle got the increase? Is it just Halloween-related shenanigans?

Early Friday numbers from Deadline being underestimated from the real numbers? What a crazy series of events that never happens.

I mean it's a good trailer. I'm excited for the movie. It would be nice if the trailer was once in a while. But seeing it like four times in a row makes me want an aneurism. Guess it's my fault for seeing all the big awards contenders this year I guess. But I guess it won't matter, since it's almost coming out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
