Well I mean it's not like Daniel Craig was this major draw when he was cast all those years ago

If there's one silver lining to Snake Eyes' bombage, at least Golding isn't attached to some random franchise and it'll be easier for him to get the Bond role he deserves. Bonkers to me his agent hasn't pestered Eon over this. He's perfect!

At this point, anything could happen and it's hard to really feel hopeful about this stuff these days. I know I sound really moody tonight, but that just comes from a real bad movie market IMO

We're probably destined to have another rough weekend (yes I know that the film didn't have much potential in pre COVID times or whatever. Repeating this stuff doesn't mean I can't be frustrated or annoyed by this)

This has...eerily similar vibes to this vid and I'm kind of afraid here

I just read your post and realized they were banned ages ago and isn't supposed to post reactions. Fixed accordingly!

He never said he was gonna win. And it's not like it'll be that hard for Denzel to get nominated.

Dude we get it. You think Dune's gonna be the megabomb of the century. Can you please get some new material?

Umm...I agree with you on the first part? I hate antivaxxers with every fiber of my being, but I have no control over what they do and their impacts on others. Not sure why you are calling for me to ban antivaxxers when the only power I have is with this forum. Please stop with this "holier than thou" schtick you possess. I also agree with you on all the things you listed for Widow and Snake Eyes and Space Jam (outside of Golding being a bad actor. I've been pushing him as the next Bond for a while). In fact, if you read what you just quoted there, you know that I find the reasons you mentioned valid. However, I do think Delta is playing a part in these bad numbers, even if it's not the main one, and I don't see why I can't believe this stuff is an issue in tandem with the other stuff people are parroting out.

Jungle Cruise Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-6 and Counting (Thu) Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 37 115 7571 1.52% Total Seats Sold Today: 25 Comp 0.128x of A Quiet Place Part II's Thu+Fri T-6 (2.48M) 0.342x of Cruella's Thu+Fri T-6 (2.64M) 1.322x of Snake Eyes T-6 (1.85M) If there's anything to say at this point, this was a good day for the movie all things considered. Snake Eyes at this point in time, for a comparison, pretty much had nonexistent sales a week before release. If we continue seeing this kind of movement, it should lead to all my comps getting above 2M, which should at least ensure 20M...maybe. Who knows how Delta or D+ or whatever will impact it?

It's more than just the openers. Them doing poorly is whatever to me. My issue is just at the holdovers and the market in general. Black Widow's drop is abysmal. Space Jam's 70% fall is absurd, even compared to other HBO Max titles. And I know that people will talk about WOM and streaming and piracy until they're blue in the face for justifiable and valid reasons. But it's not like Delta isn't having any impacts at all here. And yeah, outside of Quiet Place, F9, and Widow, things really aren't that great. The other openers are still pretty low, and while legs are compensating for it, it's still not healthy enough to make me think theatrical business will be fine in the long-term. If people were really missing the movies, you would think the market would come out in droves and things would be better than it is now, no? I also have zero confidence that Delta will be the last major variant obstacle and that we're still gonna see issues well into the fall. I will admit though that delays probably won't happen and that it will be more of a day-and-date kind of deal. But even so, this stuff is still not good for us who enjoy theater exclusivity and will sting for theater owners hard. Basically, I see little faith in things getting better from a box office perspective.

I can't really say anything against the first statement (I'm thinking about what's going to happen in about 5 years and it is bleak for traditionalists like us), but just know I'm sending you positive vibes and hopes for you on the job front. I obviously don't have any power, but I went through the exact same problem you're going through just a few months ago. Just keep on applying, keep revising your resume, and make those connections happen. I'm rooting for you because I love you, and you can always talk to me if you want to vent.

I don't know how long this Delta stuff will last, and I know people will think I'm being paranoid (I don't care), but I'm now convinced we're getting a few more movie delays. What movies they will be I have no idea, but studios will be piss-scared to release anything after this weekend. We're bound to get more variants in the months ahead too. Antivaxxers will keep this shit going for a long time.

Honestly I feel it could go the other way around. I feel like Shyamalan has a bit of an Edgar Wright-style fanbase that could be interested in seeing it right away. Snake Eyes is also a franchise too, but they don't really focus on the GI Joe connections much in the marketing and I don't think there's that rabid of a fandom for it that will want to catch the first showings.

https://deadline.com/2021/07/snake-eyes-old-m-night-shyamalan-weekend-box-office-1234798883/ I'm aware this is unlikely to happen, so don't pester me about it, but I will cackle supremely hard if Black Widow actually ranks #1 again this weekend lol

https://deadline.com/2021/07/snake-eyes-old-m-night-shyamalan-weekend-box-office-1234798883/ Deadline mentions Snake Eyes with 1.4M previews. Whoever wins the weekend will be unknown (probably Snake Eyes?), but neither film will get out of the mid-teens tracking.

Boom baby!
