Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-17 and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 57 445 10373 4.29% Total Seats Sold Today: 38 Comp 0.872x of Shang-Chi T-17 (7.68M) 1.014x of Venom 2 T-17 (11.76M) 1.766x of Ghostbusters: Afterlife T-17 (7.95M) 2.318x of Uncharted T-17 (8.57M) Adjusted Comp 7.082x of Sonic the Hedgehog T-17 (21.24M) So like...I know it's still very early and the film could come to earth by a lot and it probably will...but is this hitting 100M? Because unless I'm just really tired and not thinking straight, preview numbers like these feel like safe bets for 100M. That...probably won't happen, but I would not mind tbh. -

Uncharted is definitely coming tonight, as is Ghostbusters: Afterlife. I'm not sure if Shang-Chi fits, but might as well give it a shot. -
Just know we love you and are hoping the best for you king.

Either way, things are kinda hard to parse out. -

The sequel to that DisneyWar book is going to be amazing -
Yes, famous actors did sell a movie over other aspects, but that's just how business works. That's like saying it's depressing that a horror movie emphasized the kills and thrills over plot or character. You need to get a hook to bring in people. And those hooks are still true today. The greater of a film's % of a movie's performance these days doesn't come from plot or characters, but how cool and shiny the brand is or just how much nostalgia-pandering there is in the movie. If Twilight wasn't a famous book series, Pattinson wouldn't have become Batman. If Jurassic World was an ordinary dinosaur movie, nobody would show up, even if it had the greatest script in the world. If Shang-Chi or Captain Marvel didn't have the MCU connections, it would tank. People don't care about plot or characters with this stuff, they just want to see something they're familiar with, like how they want to see a movie star they like. Most people did not give a damn about the FFH cliffhanger when going into NWH, they wanted to see it because it had "Marvel" on the title (and also nostalgia pandering). And if I can be blunt here, the actors and famed celebrities do play an important part of the movie, since...well, they're the ones that are front and center, have to make these characters interesting, and have to deliver the plot. And if they don't pull this off, then it's not going to be a good movie. Would Jerry Maguire, Pretty Woman, Hitch, or even A Star is Born make as much as they do if the casting was off or if the famous actors who were chosen just for their starpower didn't do a good job? Probably not. Sorry, but I don't get why one era of starpower was bad, but somehow brandpower, which does the exact same effect on people, is somehow okay.
