Seeing this in about 40 minutes.

A movie hitting a franchise high...isn't good. Sure, that makes sense.

I know I'm being clouded by my bias and my love for her, but I can see a scenario where Daisy Ridley could become an A-lister. She's the only new actor from the ST who is getting big material from major studios with Orient Express, Peter Rabbit, and maybe the new Liman joint. With a few more strong non-Star Wars movies, she could be the Harrison Ford of the group. Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac are also working with every indie/prestige director under the sun, so they'll probably get some solid work over the next few years, although I do see Driver getting better opportunities. Not really super confident in Boyega just yet, but he can probably carve out his own niche like Mark Hamill has.

Oh yeah, and Michael B. Jordan seems like he can really be an A-list draw in a few years. He's already got Creed and Black Panther, so he's really just two or three big movies away from hitting the big time.

Chris Pine always seems like a guy who is this close to being a draw, but since Star Trek is the only thing he gets leads for, he's forced to be sidelined and can't be as big as the other A-listers. Dude's in a lot of successful stuff in the past, he's super talented, all the stuff you need. Blame it on Jack Ryan I guess.

Jobs are kinda more important and more impactful than a children's movie bro.

Thomas the Hanks Engine?

Cloud Atlas really was onto something.

Poor Andy Serkis.

Digital Cinema runtimes and attachments for next week: Darkest Minds: 1:37. Attachments unknown (likely The Hate U Give and Alita) Christopher Robin: 1:38. Attachments are Dumbo and Mary Poppins Returns (surprisingly, no new trailer) The Spy Who Dumped Me: 1:45. Attachments are A Simple Favor and Robin Hood.

If that preview sticks, following Jason Bourne: 26.7M Friday (including previews) 24.6M Saturday 18.7M Sunday 70M OW Following War for the Apes: 22M Friday (including previews) 19.2M Saturday 14.8M Sunday 56M OW 🤔

Wait...why did Ethan leave?

It's past 8:30. Where are the comps?

Bought tickets for me and my mom to see it tomorrow.

Mission Impossible Fallout 419 3195 13.11% 46% of Thor: Ragnarok (56.3M) 194% of Ready Player One (81M) 25% of Deadpool 2 (31.2M) 39% of Solo (32.7M) 31% of Jurassic World 2 (45.5M) 63% of Ant-Man 2 (47.8M) 101% of Equalizer 2 (36.3M) This should do better than presales suggest, since this is a walk-up driven franchise, so something around Thor: Ragnarok, maybe even higher, seems like the likely result. This theater isn't getting Teen Titans Go.

I, I BET MY LIFE

And for those who care about my thoughts on Comic-Con trailers that are days old: M. Night's Upcoming Mastapeece: Eddie Redmayne Plays with His Magic Stick: Gutzilla: Swole Chuck: Aqua(My)Man: (Slightly smaller) Big Eyes:

Well, that Bermuda cruise trip was a ton of fun! Now back to BOT, where I'm sure no meltdowns over a certain box office upset nor any fan wars over certain trailers have emerged while I was gone.

Also, I just looked at Deadline's article, and Blindspotting is looking at a mid-$20K PTA from 14 theaters. Not a good sign.
