Rank the Herbie movies

Reading through the Disney+ Twitter thread really emphasized how bizarre the post-Walt pre-Eisner era of Disney truly was.

Terminator: Dark Fate Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-17 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 36 83 8,792 0.94% Total Seats Sold Today: 1 Comp 0.126x of It: Chapter Two 17 days before release (1.33M) Adjusted Comp 0.671x of Hobbs & Shaw 17 days before release (3.89M) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Zombieland: Double Tap Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-3 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 31 288 4,906 5.87% Comp 4.174x of Stuber (3.13M) 0.442x of Once Upon (2.57M) 0.186x of It 2 (1.95M) 0.143x of Joker (1.90M) Adjusted Comp 0.397x of Hobbs & Shaw (2.30M) In a vacuum those numbers seem good, but this will probably be pretty frontloaded and fan-driven, so even 20M wouldn't necessarily be safe with some of those comps. But of course, I could be wrong, and I'm hoping for the best as always.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-3 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 32 195 8,464 2.30% Total Shows Added Today: 2 Total Seats Added Today: 468 Total Seats Sold Today: 24 Comp 2.330x of Dora (2.91M) 4.761x of Abominable (3.09M) 2.305x of Addams Family (2.88M) Adjusted Comp 0.036x of Lion King (834K) 0.317x of Hobbs & Shaw (1.84M) Ignore the adjusted comps, and things do look better. The mean of the first three comps is about 2.96M, which would probably give us an OW in the high 30s. It's still way below tracking, would be massive drop from the first film, objectively not a good opening, sure. But if we're looking glass half full, this movie could have and still might go the way of Huntsman: Winter's War or Alice Through the Looking Glass. So going the way of Lego 2 or Pets 2...eh, it could be worse. Hopefully the next few days improve, but I'm not exactly getting my hopes up at the moment.

Also confusing is The Proud Family Movie is on Disney+, but not the show. How does that even work?

MODERATION Not the Fanboy Wars thread. You can disagree with people who are voicing their concerns over the film, but you don't have to accuse people of being Marvel shills.

Quick, somebody needs to get Showgirls 2 off the ground. Elizabeth Berkley ain't doing anything

And just to let you know @Plain Old Tele, if I ever get Disney+, I promise Lab Rats will be the...5th thing I watch. Scout's honor.

One #EpicThread for everything that's Day 1 for Disney+ in chronological order And before you all ask, yes the most important film everyone is waiting for will be there on Day 1

Terminator: Dark Fate Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-18 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 36 82 8,792 0.93% Total Seats Sold Today: 3 Comp 0.128x of It: Chapter Two 18 days before release (1.35M) Adjusted Comp 0.683x of Hobbs & Shaw 18 days before release (3.96M) I know I said this before, but this feels like the trickling phase for Terminator. A big slowdown in tickets sold. Not a bad thing, but do expect a couple declines in the comps.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-4 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 32 195 8,464 2.30% Total Seats Sold Today: 18 Comp 0.148x of It: Chapter Two 4 days before release (1.55M) Adjusted Comp 0.035x of Lion King 4 days before release (814K) 0.360x of Hobbs & Shaw 4 days before release (2.09M) Might as well mention that since I will actually have quality comps starting tomorrow, I'm dropping the It 2 comps. I'll probably keep the two adjusted ones since both still kind of fit, even if they're heavily flawed. And FWIW, at least looking at Addams Family, Dora and Abominable, even though they're still not perfect due to time differences, do point to a more realistic number.

His son was a fan of the show, so Downey called up Fox and asked if he could guest star in an episode.

You're just salty you weren't cast in the movie

Nice try sweetheart.

May you perhaps be interested in this?

As of now, according to BOM, 85 movies have crossed the 300M mark domestically, meaning only 15 movies are left for the mark to be crossed. It will probably happen sometime within the next two years, but what will be the coveted 100th 300M film? What will be the one that will turn the whole top 100 on BOM’s charts into nothing but triples? My personal list includes... 86. Joker 87. Frozen II 88. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker 89. Mulan 90. Black Widow 91. Wonder Woman 1984 92. Soul 93. The Eternals 94. Shang-Chi 95. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 96. Jurassic World 3 97. The Batman 98. Spider-Man: Homecoming 3 99. Thor: Love and Thunder 100. Avatar 2 But what say you?

Pretty bold of them to copy Wonder Park's marketing with a Wonderful World cover Also lol @ Banderas. Guess we have his Norbit here

Was about to look up Doctor Sleep showtimes and see if they were popping up, but I noticed in the search bar "Fandango Early Access: Doctor Sleep" #herewegoagain

Still a shame Abominable opened so low. Between It 2 and Maleficent 2 we could have had 7 consecutive weeks of a 30M+ opener, which would have been insane. Still mad impressive, but we were on the verge of greatness. Ah well
