Newark's the main goal for the weekend. Maybe the Dracula+Frankenstein combo since I'm planning to binge the Universal Monster films this month anyways, and maybe Titane if I have the urge to travel 35 minutes. Venom screams "weekday after work" kinda movie. Sadly though I'm still in the middle of my Bond Watch and the last few films have been a slog, and I don't see the next few films improving. Got done with Moonraker and I am amazed a film with a premise of "James Bond goes to space" can be so generic and dull. @WrathOfHan Just a reminder Seinfeld is another option this weekend

Wait, did they announce a Newark sequel already? I kinda assumed it would be a one and done kind of deal.

Quick x-post from the Tracking thread Long story short, while mine is a touch underwhelming, it's still set to do boffo numbers, especially looking at other people's trackings.

Maybe? Yeah it's not very good.

WE ARE VENOM Remember October 2018? A much simpler time in life, when a Saudi journalist was murdered, the Democrats were delivered pipe bombs, Jair Bolsonaro becomes Brazil’s president, and Roseanne returns Roseanne-less after she destroyed her career from a racist tweet...okay, maybe it wasn’t actually a simpler time. However, when it comes to the only thing that truly matters in life, October 2018 was an incredible, immaculate, jaw-dropping month. Helped by one record opening that changed things forever. An opening that was a juggernaut for its genre, boosted the career of its lead actor, became a top priority franchises for Sony, and made October a hot destination for movies for the first time ever. Venom was initially mocked by folks the second it came out. Sony has attempted to get a Venom movie off the ground for ages. They’re seriously trying to create a shared universe out of this? Didn’t Amazing Spider-Man 2 make them suffer enough by that point? This was gonna tank. Yet with an incredible marketing campaign, Marvel/superhero fervor the highest it’s ever been, and some kinky tongue action from the sexy symbiote monstrosity, Venom was an absolute smash. It leapfrogged Gravity’s record by almost 45%, became an even bigger smash success in China, and eclipsed the $850 million mark worldwide, a gross that nobody could predict back when it was first announced in March 2016. It turned Tom Hardy into a movie star overnight and would kickstart the proposed Sony’s Spider-Man Universe to an impressive debut, showing that Marvel movies don’t need Papa Feige’s blessings to make money. Fast forward three years and one plague later, Venom has returned, this time bringing along a lot of Carnage. The film promises to up the ante, with an epic brawl against Woody Harrellson, a lot of gayness between Eddie and Venom, and reviews citing this as a surprisingly fun time. Presales already indicate the film will be a juggernaut on its opening weekend. Alongside The Addams Family 2 and The Many Saints of Newark opening this weekend, Palme D'Or winner Titane launching in America, and the anticipated No Time to Die launching this weekend overseas, this is set to be an amazing start for a potentially rich and plentiful October and beyond. But before we get into this exciting weekend properly, let’s quickly talk about what we expect from you, the posters. 1. ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS. NOT EVEN SPOILERS POSTED UNDER SPOILER TAGS. This rule is applied to all weekend threads, but it's especially true for this weekend. Venom 2 is one of the most anticipated films of the year and promises to be a major turning point for the Sony Marvel Universe. And sadly, because this pandemic is still a bitch and a half, not everybody will have a chance to see it right away. So please be careful about what you say. This also applies to other movies in theaters and films/shows recently releasing on streaming. So no Addams Family spoilers, no Many Saints spoilers, no Dear Evan Hansen spoilers, no Squid Game spoilers, etc. You are free to give general opinions, but try to avoid going into any further detail. If you do spoil something here, you will be banned. No exceptions. Don't be a dick. 2. KEEP YOUR AGENDA OUT OF HERE. We get it. Movie theaters are dead forever. Streaming is a disease. Woke critics don't understand real movies. Marvel is the greatest film series ever created. Disney/Marvel is destroying cinema and Kevin Feige/Bob Chapek/Kathleen Kennedy is the spawn of Satan. James Cameron is the true king of the box office. Yadda yadda yadda. There's a time and place for these kinds of statements...actually, there isn't. But at the very least, it doesn't belong here. If you want to start these beefs related to all of these dumb children's movies, go somewhere else. If you do this kind of stuff here, you will be banned. No exceptions. Don't be a dick. 3. THE REPORT AND IGNORE BUTTONS ARE YOUR FRIENDS. See a post that’s breaking the rules? DO NOT RESPOND TO IT. Just hit the Report button, give an explanation to the problem, including the context, then hit "Submit". We the mods will determine the post and see if it's breaking the rules and give out repercussions. See a poster that's consistently annoying? Then just highlight their name and click "Ignore User" on the pop-up. It'll save lives and hopefully cause less of an uproar or infighting. While trolls are already bad, responding to them only makes it worse. So again...Don't be a dick. 4. IS OFF-TOPIC DISCUSSION OKAY? Well...yes and no. We want people to stick to box office numbers as best as they can. However, there are plenty of dead periods of time with no new numbers. So off-topic discussions are okay to have at these times, so long as they don't impede numbers discussion. So if there's no action, and you want to talk about what Bill Hader's been up to, rant about how Jared Leto keeps getting work, or talk about your favorite Super Smash Bros. character, that's totally fine. Just remember that when the numbers come up to keep those discussions down to a minimum. Keep on doing that, and it becomes a chore for many who just want to know the numbers. Don't. Be. A. Dick. And lastly... 6. DON'T BE A DICK. Sometimes things get hostile among users. Whatever the reason may be, if you're not following any of these rules or are straight up not being nice, you're going to get the banhammer smashed onto you. Concern trolling? Banned. Revealing that Carnage kills Dumbledore? Banned. Just posting something unpleasant or mean? Banned. And if you're unsure if you can handle being nice for one weekend, then, simply put, get out of here. You probably know what I'm gonna say next. TL;DR No spoilers, no fanboy wars. Keep it nice, keep it neutral, don't attack others, and you'll be fine. If you don't do this stuff, you'll risk a threadban, a suspension, or even a permanent ban, so tread lightly. Outside of that, just have fun! And two last things, First off, this thread will likely lean into being more domestic-focused. If you want to know about how Venom is doing in other countries, look at the International section of the forums here. We also have a thread dedicated to Venom here. Second, there's no sale this weekend. However, while we understand finances are tight for many here, we do encourage people to donate and become premium members if they can. Every dollar helps keep the lights on and with Bond, Halloween, Dune, Eternals, Ghostbusters, Spider-Man, Matrix, and Clifford all around the corner, these donations will only help make the forum bigger and better than ever. And now... WITHOUT FURTHER ADO LET’S DO THIS SHIT

Agreed. Moderation @Cruel Summer has been threadbanned for one week for consistent trolling.

Well there's only been two. And of those two, In the Heights and The Suicide Squad, they launched at the exact same time and day as they launched on HBO Max. It is pretty clear Max is the sole reason.
