Moderation Jumping to conclusions over reshoots is so 2017. Please don’t jump to conclusions y’all.

That was also four years ago and pre-COVID, when walkups were expected. Nowadays, walkups are only something you're lucky to get and movies are more presales-driven than ever. So yeah, 50M is still very much in doubt, and it's honestly easier to just expect the worst and just...pretend that opening in the 40s is good for this.

Let it be known, that four years ago, I warned everybody what was going to happen. And like...I'm not wrong!

Would love to know the strategy here where you only have a whopping four PG-13 action movies to choose from the entire summer (Fall Guy, Apes, Quiet Place, Twisters). And I'm stretching things here hard for Quiet Place. This is just frankly inexcusable for the summer time, even if you want to use the strike excuse. Even just adding in Ghostbusters some time in June or something would have made a world of difference.

Planet of the Apes is gunning for 160M at this rate, right? Like at the very least, with Father's Day around the corner, that should be a good boost for it.

You’re an A24 type of movie.

Capitalism. Easy answer for everything terrible.

Well, I guess we'll have to move on, accept that the box office is dead forever, and perhaps just pretend to ourselves that Bad Boys opening in the 40s is good actually. I'm sure TV ratings forums, music sales forums, etc. have long accepted the old ways are dead and are never coming back and have found ways to cope with how low things are. And I suggest, at some point, you're gonna have to do the same. Whether you want to or not.

No offense, but I think you really need a break from this place if this is really hurting your mental health this badly. Your happiness being this reliant on box office numbers wouldn't even be good if the business was booming, and, like I always tell people, it's not like you can't just talk about movies elsewhere on other movie forums that aren't as focused on box office numbers. It makes no sense to hang out around a place you hate.

I mean we already used all those up last weekend. Don't know if we have enough this weekend to get to 20 pages.
