Fine, non-NTC horror is in the mud. Is that better? -

Moderation We don't need to do this "state of DC" or "Superman's gonna bomb" rhetoric here. Please stick to the tracking, or else threadbans will come your way. -

I learned all I needed to know from life when my father took me to my local strip club. -

JUICY WEEKEND - BJBJ releases with $111M (DHD)
Eric the Clown replied to AniNate's topic in Numbers and Data
It was mainly the sexual content. It's always the sexual content. You can show a character maiming and killing hundreds of bad guys, but if you dare to have a nakey, or even less than that in cases where a character is LGBT, then it's too much for these poor innocent children. -

Yeah. It was at 43 yesterday (technically Thursday). Quorum does new surveys all the time to track how movies are tracking. That's why they change all the time. As for the latter point, that is very premature to say. We are more than a week away, and the Awareness and Interest data is going to change. It will likely change to something more favorable once we get closer to release. If it gets above 50% by the end of its run, which I am quite confident in, then it will have a 74% chance of reaching 30M. I suggest that for next time that you be patient and do not automatically jump to conclusions. This does not help anybody and just derails the thread. -

I'll always have a soft spot for Edward Scissorhands, but Batman Returns very much comes close. Boy do I love me the "Burton outcasts hated by society" plot line. Wish I could say he should bring that idea back, but he somehow screwed up Dumbo, the prototype Burton protag, so... -

Oh it's up there too, but I think Beetlejuice and Nightmare are higher than it. Of course, it's all subjective stuff lol -

As for Beetlejuice's opening, it's not invalid to say Wednesday is a factor, but it's certainly not the only thing making it successful. Really, Beetlejuice is breaking out due to a tight combination of cross-generation appeal as well as serving a niche that has been absent for ages. For starters, Beetlejuice has always been popular. Like a lot of other Burton movies, it's been a Halloween staple on cable/streaming, and merch at Spirit Halloween is always available. Heck, the Broadway show was able to be a decent hit despite having basically all the odds stacked against it. Tim Burton’s also one of the few directors who was able to sell a movie on his name for the longest time. He’s a cornerstone for tons of Hot Topic millennials and Gen Xers, so seeing a return of one of his old favorites, arguably the movie he is most synonymous for, was going to be an event for those generations. Only other movie people may think of first when it comes to Tim Burton is probably Nightmare Before Christmas (yes, I know he didn't direct it. Blame Disney, not me). And yeah, for Gen Z, Wednesday managed to make Burton hip and exciting to a new generation and revitalize that campy gothic aesthetic people know and love about him. But it's not like there wasn't already his older movies already airing on ABC Family or streaming. There's even Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which has become just as, if not more iconic than the Wilder film to people my age...ew, but that's nostalgia for you. It also helps that while Burton’s 2010s output is largely regarded as poor and disposable, he hasn’t made a movie in five years, which is enough for him to be out of the limelight just enough, and make people love him all over again. If this came out like two years after Dumbo, I don't think it would have been the event that it is. Plus, there hasn't really been any other director or franchise that has tried to attempt his campy, gothic aesthetic and atmosphere, making his return even more exciting. Even Wednesday season 2 is taking an eternity to get made. It’s absence that makes the heart grow fonder, after all. Add on the original cast, who are just as popular and relevant as ever, if not more so, as well as Jenna Ortega fresh off her own big hits, nostalgic toy commercials still as huge as ever, and tons of “remember that” money shots that make people go “OMG MY CHILDHOOD”, and you got a 110M opening.- 674 replies

I'll never forget being in the theater in pure shock and disgust when he appeared. The film itself was already dreadful, but then you got this? Vile, nasty, despicable fucking movie. Everybody who approved this idea should be ashamed of themselves. -

Maybe they should have made better Alien sequels then. That would have been a good strategy -

This. NFL is already a depressor for the box office, but when you have the season openers, and two big games in a row on two work/school days? That’s something you can push for the weekend.
