Eric Prime

Also runtimes w/out credits (even though everyone will stay until the credits for this) and attachments for next week: Avengers: Endgame: 2:48. 2D showings have Lion King and Rise of Skywalker attached. 3D has Toy Story 4 and Aladdin. This is just like when TFA debuted. 2D had Civil War and Zootopia, 3D had The Finest Hours and The Jungle Book

That seems really good for Llorona. I'll do some "if it follows" stuff later, but I'm pretty sure that locks 20M this weekend.

The Disney/Fox merger already creating amazing results

I think Wang said something about Beast being above Civil War and BvS, which at least did 10M before release.

Also, this is the first Eastwood joint not from WB since Changeling. Kinda cool fact

Pretty sure Beauty and the Beast is the best example (live-action family movies are getting rarer and rarer these days), at least from Wang's data. Don't know the exact numbers day-to-day, but I know that it ended with like 13M a day or so before release. I don't think Pikachu will do that, especially since Beast appealed more to a YA/female demographic, but it's better than nothing I guess.

When Disney saw WB fuck up awards-wise with The Mule

This is shooting in the summer. The Mule filmed in the summer and was done in time for December. So this will probably either open on the 13th as Jumanji counterprogramming, or limited on Christmas Day and expand in January. Fox almost always had at least two wide movies out in December (2018 was the exception, due to Alita being pushed back and Bohemian Rhapsody pushed forward), but Disney could throw in a big monkey wrench into the situation.

at Endgame Solid for Pikachu and Wick.

They could give us a Black Panther reunion

Branagh really does deliver the best casts for his movies.

Ah yes. If a director makes just one bad movie, he doesn't deserve to work again.

I'm too busy, and this already is a lot of work

If Breakthrough follows Miracles from Heaven: 1.7 1.5 3.7 5.5 4.1 13.3M 3-Day, 16.5M 5-Day If it follows Heaven is for Real: 1.7 1.5 3.6 3.8 2.9 10.3M 3-Day, 13.5M 5-Day

Like I know I should be frustrated or upset or mad at Disney or whatever, but I kinda get a good laugh every time this gets delayed again.

You say the service is not panning out, but the tweet you're citing says it's outpacing expectations. What is the truth?
