About to see Iron Claw in a few minutes, brother and I are seeing Boy and the Heron tomorrow, family's going to the Eagles game on Chirstmas Day. Gonna be a fun weekend, before I get through the catchup rush of seeing everything else. Exciting time for the movies. Hooray!

Why don't you want to root for me?

You're about half of 29m

Don't worry, I can fill in for CJohn. I'll pencil in a rant on NTCs on...let's say tomorrow? Think that's about right? We'll see what the exact time is.

It's because their tracking firms don't look at presales. It's been established for a while that the traditional industry tracking firms, which is where these publications get their stuff from, use models that look at surveys, social media, reviews, etc. and not presales. I don't know why they do it still, but that's how it works, and that can lead to underindexing, especially for minority-led projects like these. But it's not like the studios care. If anything, they probably like this stuff for PR purposes. "Wow, this movie doubled from what projections said. Who could have seen that coming?" And only nerds like us care about box office, so it's not like it really matters.

Can't wait to get my steamboat fanfictions published. Gonna make allllllllll the money.

Even Migration is impressive to me. I saw it before a few movies, often in packed houses, and none of the jokes ever landed, even when kids were in the building. And even if it's still looking to gross way less than most Illumination movies...I mean, we're in a new box office world where original animation is dying. I'll take what I can get.

I don't know if this has been brought up yet, but the 1.2M for Anyone But You might be the most impressive preview of the bunch, since this might have the worst ad campaign I've ever seen for any movie ever for a genre that is deader than dead. Don't know how this isn't opening to 2M or something like that with such awful, weird trailers. I guess the Euphoria connections really do go a long way with getting the kids interested
