Halloween goes back to when my parents were in high school, yet 62% of the audience for Halloween Kills' 50M+ opening was 18-34. I see little reason for Scream to skew any older, especially since Scream 4's opening was 54% under 25.

I wish I could give you an answer. Comparing Thursdays to Thu+Fri/Fridays is already tricky, the numbers are still out of sync on these ends, and Omicron's got potential to fuck everything up. I am leaning positive on 20M+ at the moment, but I don't want anything set in stone here.

I still think my favorite song is the opening Family Madrigal one. Just so energized and poppy and such a perfect introduction.

Nah I think the recast is supposed to be symbolic.

I'll be the first to admit that the idea of "Flintstones but Jurassic Park" the ending to Fallen Kingdom teases is a brilliant one and something I would have been all over as a kid. And despite my misgivings about the Jurassic World series (y'all are lucky I'm a mod, because I could go on a rant about how awful those two movies are), I know for a fact it'll make gobs of money just on that idea alone. And also member berries.

Well I mean they still kiss in the end and Gary even calls her his girlfriend, albeit in a joking manner. But even then, the way they hug and run off together implies they're supposed to be an item to me.

I feel like I've gotten a trailer for that about 10 times within the past three months. I would love to meet the man who decided to make a moody remix of a Rihanna song for the trailer and ask them what gave you the idea to do something so stupid.

Well...yeah. I know not every single person will agree on this, and I completely, totally understand why people see it in that perspective. But frankly, I find surprise stories more interesting and more compelling. So in my subjective mindset, which is different from yours and others here, I would find Fantastic Beasts the bigger story in my personal, subjective opinion. I'm sorry if people find that ridiculous or off-base, but I'm just going by how I see things subjectively, and it doesn't take away from that Avatar gross nor NWH's gross at all.

Here's my counterargument: surprise factor. If you do what's expected, even if it's really incredible from all objective measures, it's not as exciting or as interesting as something that had more going against it or just came out of the blue. GvK was in a far worse state pandemic-wise, and everybody and their Grandma said Dune was going to be an epic failure. NWH, while nobody expected to be as big as it was until the run-up towards release, was about as safe a bet as you can get. Even back in the days of 2020 or early 2021, people felt confident Spidey would be the biggest hit of the pandemic era. And yes, those numbers are impressive, but it's not that farfetched to think it could have gotten there. So with more restrictions and harder circumstances, I'm on the GvK/Dune camp. Just as another example, I will always say that Jurassic World is the bigger, more interesting story than Force Awakens. Yes, most didn't expect nearly 1B DOM for the latter...but not a soul thought 650M was a snowball's chance for Jurassic World. In my subjective viewpoint, Jurassic World is the bigger surprise and therefore the bigger story. And for the record, I know that this isn't a popular opinion or way to look at things. This is just my dumb perspective here.

Liked a lot about it, especially in how it depicts that kind of wanderlust adolescent stage of life, but I probably would have liked it way more if Alana and Gary just had a friendship rather than a romance. You can still get the point across about how the two need each other and find themselves intrigued by what the other doesn't have without the weird age gap stuff.

Honestly, ~140M is about what I expected from Sing 2 even before COVID, so I think this is a glowing success when you add in factors like Omicron and kids/family disinterest in the theaters.
