If they're talking about the Short Term 12 dude, then HYPE

Think boxofficerules isn't trying to paint these as flops, but movies that arguably disappointed or underperformed relative to expectations, both here on BOT and in the industry. Obviously Glass and HDD2U are both financially successful, but considering expectations, buzz, and tracking, it's arguable they should have made more.

The big issue when it comes to Best Picture is how stacked Universal is in terms of contenders. 1917, Cats, Queen & Slim. Even Yesterday's got a shot in the Golden Globes. Even if one or two of them disappoint, I don't really see Universal giving Us that much of a push in BP, especially since, as an example, Chazelle and Jenkins' follow-ups to their award-winning hits didn't get Best Picture noms (Talking about First Man, not La La Land. Don't bother me). Lupita might get a Best Actress nom though

Tickets for both the Fandango early shows and opening weekend are now up for those wondering

Only one out of the four has a baby elephant. Can you guess which one?

My favorite Twitter account at the moment. Their Norbit one still gets to me. Even he knows this is going to destroy his career forever

...let's just assume he was talking about films only.

If that 15M sticks, CM's first Monday drop and first Tuesday jump are both better than Beauty and the Beast's. BATB: -72%, +32.1% CM: -71.5%, +36.5% Of course BATB is a more family-driven movie, and I'm not expecting this to drop sub-50%, but this bodes well for a strong hold in weekend 2, especially since this weekend's releases combined are likely to make less than what Power Rangers opened to

Just got a like from our god @Rthmar-vell Think that means 15M is the legit number he has

Wish I could remember where I found it, but I believe Peele's talked about how he's much more invested in creating original concepts and worlds than he is working on established IPs, which I feel is far better for him. Feels like every up-and-coming filmmaker gets forced to make corporate IP at some point, so it's nice to see at least one new filmmaker is allowed to do his own thing

🤔 15M?

Finally. Now I can pitch to Disneyland the Freddy Got Fingered ride I've been developing for years.

They kinda did that with the orchestrated Arabian Knights in the first teaser.

Less than $11M. What a flop smh Feige gon be out of a job

Genie in the OG Aladdin was just as, if not more out of place (Jafar didn't do impressions of Arsenio Hall and Rodney Dangerfield), and that worked fine.

I know you keep bringing up "Atom deals" and how they skew everything. And while I'm not going to say it doesn't play a tiny part, I feel like you overestimate just how much impact they cause. Are these deals really that well-known or heavily used by people as you think?

Eh, Will Smith looks like he could be fun. Yeah, he's playing himself, but...he's good at playing himself

I don't have numbers for Love, Simon.

And in terms of upcoming releases Movie/Date Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Us 1,070 11 days Dumbo 777 18 days Us 14-11 days before release: 118% of Glass (55.1M using Glass' 4-Day) Dumbo On Day 18: 174% of Dragon 3 (95.8M) Cumulative by Day 18: 25% of Dragon 3 (13.8M) (Note Dragon 3 had 17 days more presales) So for Us, we're on the right track and things are boding well for great numbers. Dumbo is way too early to call with so little information, but the fact this beat out all of this weekend's releases yesterday is a great start
