  1. Wait hold up he had alts on the Telegram chat too? Lmao this dude is like 10 steps ahead
  2. If you look at Deadline, they already admit that the numbers that they have are higher. Even Saturday is 600K higher than what Disney is reporting. Disregarding mixed signals, or a faulty source, that discrepancy is a wee bit interesting. Outside of that, Disney is notorious for lowballing their estimates, often by a considerable amount. Just going by OW, Toy Story 4 estimate was 118M, then it increased about 2.5% to 120.9M. Aladdin estimate was 86.1M 3-Day, then it increased 6.3% for 91.5M. Endgame 350M, then 2% to 357.1M, Dumbo 45M, then 2.2% to 45.99M. Mary Poppins Returns 22.2M, 5.8% to 23.5M. Solo 83.3M, 1.3% to 84.4. Infinity War 250M, 3.1% to 257.7. Black Panther 192M, 5.2% to 202M. Yeah, not every Disney movie lowballs the numbers, but a lot of the time, it does happen, especially to the larger openers, and there's a substantial amount of money left on the table here, . By further comparison, Beauty and the Beast did 170M for estimates, then had a 2.8% increase to 174.75M. And what do you know, using that percentage brings us to 190.2M. Now do I think 190M is a lock for actuals? No. But the precedence is certainly there, and I fail to see why this movie would act any different compared to some of the other mega openers listed.
  3. Booksmart stans on Film Twitter getting all huffy and insisting Aladdin killed that movie's box office was so insufferable. That wasn't even gonna hit 40M in a best-case scenario.
  4. FWIW, I've been predicting around 185M OW way back when the summer started. I would really only consider an opening below Beauty and the Beast as a disappointment all things considered.
  5. I...I honestly thought it got canceled on Season 1
  6. That AMC Specialty stuff always sounded fishy. All they said was basically "we're gonna try and promote small movies more", but they aren't actually doing any benefits that matter. No lowered prices, no major promos (at least from what I've seen), no nothing. It just seems like a bunch of PR Jedi mind trick nonsense so far
