I'm not a mod, so you shouldn't @ me. I would suggest maybe you should @grim22 or @aabattery

Avatar got pushed to 2021

I'm pretty busy today, so I'm only gonna focus on Far From Home when it comes to the upcoming movies. Maybe I'll look at some other movies in the future. You can look at some of the other movies right here. Movie/Date Monday Spider-Man FFH 13,647 57 days First day of presales: 228% of Captain Marvel (350M) 46% of Infinity War (119.6M) Day 57: 606% of Captain Marvel (930.6M) So before people go nuts, there are some things to keep in mind. First of all, when Captain Marvel started selling tickets, it did so at around the evening time, while Far From Home started in the late morning. That makes comparisons really tricky right off the bat. And of course, the Tuesday opening. Do we measure the Fri-Sun period or the whole 6-Day period? The last time movies opened on a Tuesday were Vice and Holmes and Watson, which...yeah, aren't good comparisons. Before that (apart from Fathom events) was all the way back in 2012, so we're pretty much in new territory here. But either way, selling close to half of Infinity War's first day is a really good start.

Will depend on the next couple days. Pikachu comps: 24% of Incredibles 2 (44.3M) 76% of Ant-Man 2 (58M) 289% of Hotel Transylvania 3 (127.2M) 324% of Christopher Robin (79.7M) 141% of The Grinch (95.5M) 136% of Spider-Verse (48.2M) 330% of Bumblebee (71.5M) 201% of Lego Movie 2 (68.5M) 136% of Dragon 3 (74.8M) 165% of Dumbo (75.8M) 99% of Shazam (53.1M) Taking out a couple outliers, the range for the majority of the comps is basically 65M-80M. Pretty broad, but it'll go on the low end or high end depending on walk-ups. Poms comps: 23% of I Feel Pretty (3.6M) 34% of Life of the Party (6M) 24% of Book Club (3.2M) 25% of The Mule (4.4M) 56% of Second Act (3.6M) 66% of Marwen (1.6M) 50% of The Upside (10.2M) Even for a movie that's not supposed to be pre-sale heavy, this seems pretty soft. Maybe this is just so oldies-driven that it's way less pre-sales driven than even Book Club. Tolkien comps: 38% of BlacKkKlansman (4.1M) 121% of White Boy Rick (10.7M) 25% of First Man (4M) 53% of Widows (6.6M) 66% of The Best of Enemies (2.9M) Eh, I guess 4M could be worse.

UM ACKSHUALLY, it's not finalized. You have to wait one more hour so that you know the final 11 PM tickets sold

Counter-argument: Annapurna

I know Annapurna didn't make it (MGM did it, though both distribute movies under the same United Artists Releasing banner), but I'm blaming them for this.

He actually doesn't sing for very long, but I still thought this interview was cute.

At last, La Binoche is getting justice

As an aside, it is shameful the Internet didn't meme Trumpets back when it was relevant. It's up there as probably some of the worst lyrics in recent memory

Is it weird that your ass remind me of a Kanye West song?

This was two weeks ago. Seems like solid jumps for both, especially Wick. This was 19 days before Poppins' release, which is only a day off from Aladdin at the moment. For Lego, it's 4 days before release (same as Pikachu), while Dragon is 18, the exact same as Aladdin. So for Pikachu, more than quadrupling Lego 2 seems solid. Don't know an exact number, but very solid. Aladdin being at 722K is leaps and bounds above both Poppins and Dragon, but Poppins being more spread out in sales does complicate things quite a bit, and there is the possibility of Aladdin being a more teen/YA-driven movie that could inflate presales a touch. Don't know how to extrapolate this stuff, but good ol' Al seems fine? Maybe I'll have to wait until the next update and see the bump this could get.

I meant to say GOT was $10M per episode

Speaking of Disney+, I'm super hype for the Monsters, Inc. show if only because Henry Winkler's a part of the voice cast. With this, Barry, and the new Wes Anderson joint, we're officially in the Winkler Renaissance. Hell yeah.

The budget's about $10M per episode, which IIRC is about what GOT costed in the later seasons. Disney's definitely pushing Mandalorian as the system seller

Granted this is based off of blurry cellphone footage from the SWCC panel, but Mandalorian, from the brief footage that's available (not legally mind you ) seems on par with the Disney Wars movies in terms of cinematography and production design (action and scale probably won't be as big as those movies ofc)

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

gotchu homie

The Incredibles movies come pretty close if I'm being honest
