    It's interesting how these movies are big on Latino/Hispanic audience.

     

    It doesn't seem to be due to representation. There is a relevant Latina character in IO2, but her role doesn't seem big.

    Animated movies in general overindex with Hispanics.. Mario, Kung Fu Panda, Garfield. Not sure why that is if I’m being honest.

    FWIW no one even knew of Moana 2's existence (the Disney movie slated for Thanksgiving was an unnamed title) until early February...when this began its marketing campaign. So technically, this claimed the holiday weekend first.

     

    Everyone is avoiding early November this year given what's at stake with this election (which will naturally overshadow everything else). That's apparently why Venom 2 moved up a few weeks.

    Doctor Strsnge and Trolls did just fine the weekend before the elctions. And they were just as toxic as this year’s.. Even Arrival did well opening a couple days later. That reasoning is so silly.

    I'm shocked with how low Furiosa is looking to drop considering the loss of theaters this weekend. That's also great for Apes, where did that come from

    Disney movies always have amazing holds whenever a new Disney movie come out. Don't know if it's fudging or double features, but it's a common occurrence. As an example, Aladdin came out in 2019, Dumbo went up a whopping 250% from last weekend, with its PTA quadrupling as if by magic ooohhh

    So when I said "u/AgentCooper315 is saying 620M+ DOM for IO2" it is productive for the conversation because it's a projection for where the movie will end up and that specific user is credible, and it isn't just "random X user was correct about Y."

     

    That's why I don't understand why JustLurking quoted me with some "nobody care about this rando on Reddit" energy and complained about it considering that comment was adding to the conversation

    Look, I don't know who this is AgentCooper dude is, but I fail to see how some guy on Reddit is "credible" or his words are gospel or makes him extra special. That's what people find annoying about it. I don't think we need to see what some random guy is predicting for a movie, when we already have plenty of that from our actual posters. So no, I don't think that is productive. I know you think it is, but everybody else doesn't. So...yeah, at least just try to cut back on it.

    Garfield drop only 49% from last Friday. With some help from father day, the movie will avoid 60% collapse against IO2. Now it really have chance to hit 100m. 

    A lot of drive-ins near me have Garfield as the second movie paired up with Inside Out 2, so that likely helped it get a nice boost from dropping further, at least compared to the bigger fall IF recieved.

    Alright fine. But is it ok that, if I do want to refer to r/boxoffice or whatever, I'll do it more sparingly and only bring in more insightful news? For example, somebody on r/boxoffice said that IO2 is headed for 58M+ admissions which is right ahead of The Lion King 2019, stuff like that can I repost here?

     

     

    I mean...sure. It's actually productive to the conversation, so I guess that is acceptable.

  8. Hot take, but I feel like we could see a Barbenheimer thing going on with Moana 2 and Wicked, albeit on a smaller scale. Like when it comes to non-Disney properties, Disney Adults are obsessed with Wicked. Broadway in general I suppose, but Wicked is a big one that audience loves to pieces. I can totally see something where Disney Adults watch both movies that same holiday weekend and make an event out of it. It's just a combination of two things they already love back to back.

    Yeah, sure nobody cares about one of the most knowledgeable users on the best subreddit of the best social media website of all time 🙄

    Yes. We don't care.

     

    I'm sorry to break the news to you. I understand you're very passionate about r/boxoffice. I know there are a ton of users in there you love to pieces. But this kind of stuff has gotten on folks' nerves and doesn't add much of anything. Plus, is this kind of idolization of random Redditors who got a few miscellaneous predictions right over how much money a silly kids movie made really something you have to do? Is it truly such an incredible, astonishing feat that you have to push these random users down our throats? Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't think that's the case.

     

    Now you aren't breaking any rules, so I guess you can do this, if you really think it's more important than breathing that you have to share random Reddit users on here and what they have to say about some silly kids movies, despite everybody on here being annoyed or tired by it. But I hope you recognize that people are starting to get fed up with you every time you do it.
