Saw What Men Want a few hours ago. Wasn't really into it outside of a couple of laughs here and there, but Queen Taraji was wonderful as always. Also Erykah Badu was phenomenal. Put her in more movies Hollywood!

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Eric the Clown replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
Now it's gone over a complete overhaul, and it's even more strange. It's now back to only having Wednesday previews, but now, almost all of the showtimes for this weekend are 3D, apart from one 2D show at 7. I don't know if that was a demand by Fox or Cameron, but...don't think that's a good strategy. -

Here's the thing. Arguing if we'll ever have a new "generational classic" is really hard, because we won't know until at least a decade from now what is a "generational classic". It's like arguing whether Post Malone has changed the music industry or not, when he's only just started out. Though I guess if you had to choose one now in terms of recent releases, I do feel like Wonder Woman and Black Panther fit the bill. Even if you don't like the films, they've certainly started to build a strong legacy and universal appeal. Giant box office, movies everybody here has probably seen, broad appeal to kids and adults, representation that few generational classics have achieved. I definitely feel like 30 years from now, those movies will be the Star Wars of today's kids. Frozen also arguably fits the bill, especially with the Disney machine behind it.

Cold Pursuit 28 1032 2.13% Lego Movie 2 387 3183 12.16% The Prodigy 24 1695 1.42% What Men Want 436 1583 27.54% I should mention first and foremost that I forgot to check Lego's 4PM previews (I'm only used to 7PM studios. STOP DOING PREVIEWS EARLY). Maybe it sold a lot in that timeframe, maybe it didn't, I dunno. Also, neither Cold Pursuit and Prodigy have previews tonight at my theater (they're probably trying to squeeze as much money out of the many holdovers as they can before they disappear), hence the more deflated numbers. Then again, they probably weren't making much anyways Pursuit: 35% of The Commuter (4.8M) 58% of 15:17 to Paris (7.3M) 47% of Death Wish (6.2M) 117% of Sicario 2 (22.2M) 47% of Skyscraper (11.6M) 65% of Mile 22 (8.9M) 61% of The Mule (10.7M) Again, I don't have previews to help the movie out, but...yeah. Anyway, Lego: 114% of Peter Rabbit (28.5M) 102% of Hotel Transylvania 3 (44.9M) 170% of House w/ Clock (45.2M) 213% of Smallfoot (49M) 86% of Grinch (58M) 149% of Spider-Verse (52.8M) The comps in the mid-40s do give me pause, but let's be optimistic and still gun for ~55M Prodigy: 73% of Winchester (6.8M) 37% of Strangers 2 (3.8M) 13% of Quiet Place (6.5M) 171% of Hell Fest (8.8M) 23% of Escape Room (4.1M) Eh? Maybe it reaches the Hell Fest comp? Men: 92% of Acrimony (15.8M) 283% of Uncle Drew (43.1M) 101% of Night School (27.5M) 119% of Nobody's Fool (16.4M) Around the ballpark of Night School's my guess -
