  1. https://deadline.com/2020/01/bad-boys-for-life-dolittle-1917-weekend-box-office-1202833726/ @aladdino gee you might be right
  2. I just did my research, and 135M is almost impossible for Bad Boys. That would be 1.84x from the 4-Day, and using MLK 4-Day openers from the last 10 years (I'm excluding stuff that expanded from limited like American Sniper or The Post), the only movies that had worse legs were The Last Stand, Devil's Due, Norm of the North, The Bye Bye Man, and Proud Mary. And wouldn't you know it, all of these movies either opened low or were complete garbage. Considering Bad Boys opened well, and so far has solid reception...yeah, I doubt it'll finish that low. For the record, I doubt 200M will happen. That would require a 2.72x multiplier, and the movies that finished around there was stuff like Ride Along, the Paddington movies, The Wedding Ringer, 13 Hours, and Jack Ryan. For a sequel with a built-in audience, that's pretty unrealistic. 165M sounds about right though
  3. https://www.ispot.tv/browse/w.LL/life-and-entertainment/theatrical-movies You do need to a paid account to get more specific details though
  4. The Screen Actors Guild Awards will broadcast tonight on TNT and TBS. Celebrate the great film and television accomplishments this year and see what will win SAG Ensemble and look at how it'll impact the Oscars later this February. As always, remember to stay safe, be nice, and have fun!
  5. Anyways, using 4-Day multipliers for other MLK openers: If Bad Boys follows Ride Along: 189M If it follows Glass: 162.6M If it follows Ride Along 2: 151.5M Yep, Blart's reign is over

  7. So TIL I learned that not only do The Black Eyed Peas have a song in the new Bad Boys, but The Black Eyed Peas sans Fergie all got back together a couple years back? I don't know how to feel about that.
  8. Yes obviously Dolittle is going to be a money loss (everybody knows that) and maybe Downey shouldn't have gotten that huge paycheck. But for a movie that had a slew of production problems reported by entertainment sites, had bad, if arguably non-existent marketing by the time of release, godawful reviews, and was consistently trending downwards in tracking and presales, the fact that it's looking to do 30M for the 4-Day is kind of a miracle, and it really only comes down to two things: the last major kids movie release being Frozen II (sorry Spies in Disguise), which you can make a compelling argument for, and Robert Downey Jr. making people interested. If Henry Cavill or some shit was the lead for Dolittle, this would've been lucky to get 20M for the 4-Day, and we'd be debating how long he'd last in Hollywood. Besides, it's unfair to talk about Downey only being a draw as Iron Man because he's only played Iron Man for the past 5 years. How else are we supposed to judge if he can sell something on his own? And while yes The Judge wasn't big, and I know these movies were an eternity, but do you really think the Ritchie Holmes movies would have made the numbers they made without RDJ in there? @baumer If you really want to use your logic here, then how come The Rock is lumped in with Leo? In the past couple years, his biggest hits were Jumanji, Fast & Furious, and Moana, all of which were franchise fare or had the Disney Princess brand to help them out. Rampage was based on a video game. When he was forced to use his starpower alone with Skyscraper, it tanked. Is he suddenly not a draw?
  9. This is Dark Phoenix 2.0. Nobody cares about this Beasts nonsense anymore. Everybody's waiting for the inevitable HP9. Besides, if you look at the math: Days of Future Past: 233M Apocalypse: 155M Dark Phoenix: 65M Where to Find Them: 234M Crimes of Grindelwald: 159M Beasts 3: ?
  10. Outside looking in, it feels like the hype is already there. Every time a new piece of casting info drops, it trends like crazy on social media, which is hard, almost impossible for any other major franchise. Obviously every big property trends, but it's usually when there's a initial announcement, a trailer, or one or two cast members get signed on. The Batman I saw Pattinson, Kravitz, Dano, Farrell, even Jonah Hill trending, which seems pretty uncommon. Marvel's the only one that comes close to doing that, and even then I don't remember David Harbour trending when he joined Black Widow. Outside of that, Batman is still intensely beloved, the creative team is solid, the set photos seem promising, and I think WB will treat this very well in the marketing department. Obviously I'll change my mind once we get closer to 2021, but I just think this will surprise.
  11. Spitballing off the top of my head w/out much thought: Fatherhood: 90M Mortal Kombat: 70M Cinderella: 110M Shang-Chi: 360M Jackass: 100M Paranormal Activity 7: 80M Tomb Raider 2: 45M Boss Baby 2: 85M Fast & Furious 10: 200M Doctor Strange 2: 375M John Wick 4: 200M Matrix 4: 310M Cruella: 140M Jurassic World 3: 430M The Batman: 560M Sing 2: 120M Indy 5: Never happening Space Jam 2: 80M Spider-Man 3: 405M Mission: Impossible 7: 230M The Suicide Squad: 200M Elvis: 160M Halloween Ends: 75M Thor: Love and Thunder: 400M Fantastic Beasts 3: 70M Avatar 2: 720M Black Adam: 230M Wicked: 210M Hotel Translyvania 4: 135M For the record, I didn't think about this very hard, please don't yell at me
