What is this, the frozen food section?

Movie opens 4 days before my birthday. Good to know Chalabae's givin' me a bomb-ass birthday present. The annual Disney Thanksgiving movie will probably rock too.

They're trying to replace Ezra Miller with Chalamet in the next movie

Funny you say that. I find those people to be obnoxious too. But going the opposite extreme isn't any better chief.

Doesn't really give you the excuse to repeat things ad nauseum. And this is coming from someone with no interest in Alita at all.

Also, since this is apparently the weekend thread now... Runtimes w/out attachments for next week HTTYD: The Hidden World: 1:33. A Dog's Journey and Secret Life of Pets 2 (Trailer #5. I don't know if that means it's the Gidget trailer, or a brand new one) https://pro.boxoffice.com/long-range-captain-marvel-tracking-for-140m-launch-early-forecasts-forhellboy-little-missing-link/ Hellboy: 17-25 range. 22/46 Little: 12-18 range. 15/43 Missing Link: 7-15 range. 10/39 There are some other slight alterations here and there, but I don't really care that much to share them here

Deadline did some slight downgrading to the numbers. #CRUMBLING

Those 4-Day estimates turn into 36.4M for the 5-Day. If Alita has Die Hard 5's legs: 66.5M Total Jumper: 75.4M GI Joe Retaliation: 80.3M Ready Player One: 85M Die Hard had toxic word of mouth, so that definitely ain't happening. But I guess somewhere in the 75-85M range seems about right

Are gamers really any better tho?

It's kinda similar to Legend of Tarzan back in 2016. It did better than what tracking and people at BOT expected and in a vacuum their runs could be considered fine. But their budgets were too large to really make them profitable for the studio, although I guess Alita might get in the black when all is said and done.

lowkey hoping Shazam bombs so I can do a "Spawn Over Shazam" club called "Beat Shazam"

@That One Guy Over Sixth Sense confirmed

Star Trek and Deadpool both only had "gayness" in their movie for like 10 seconds lmao

Wouldn't necessarily say I nailed it with the Thursday number being higher and the 3-day being lower than what I devised. Though I'm pretty close with the 6-day. Guess they're assuming the movie will be more frontloaded and fan-driven than RPO

If Alita follows Ready Player One (Thurs opening, sci-fi, opened on a holiday weekend) 2.425M previews 7.7M Thu inc. previews 9.7M Fri 10.1M Sat 7.2M Sun 3.4M Mon 27M 3-Day, 38.1M 6-Day I would love to do A Good Day to Die Hard as a comparison (exact same calendar configuration), but probably not now. Disregarding the 6-year gap, it had midnight screenings instead of 7PM shows. But I guess RPO is still a good benchmark, and above tracking FWIW. Let's just wait and see what the final Thursday number will be.

Guess Nickelodeon's now the place for TV shows that follow up critically-acclaimed but financially-underwhelming sequels

Sorry for not being active with the Pulse updates btw This week's been pretty busy for me, so I wasn't able to get things here done as much as I would like.
