Crossing my fingers here of course.

Just a reminder to folks here that you still have ONE WEEK LEFT before submissions are due. I know some of you plan to wait until the last minute, but if you're confident in your rankings, there's no reason to PM me your list now! @#ED @Porthos @4815162342 @75Live @A Star is Orm @a2k @aabattery @ACSlater @AJG @Alpha @AndyLL @angeldelmito @Arlborn @Barnack @baumer @Biggestgeekever @Blaze Heatnix @boomboom234 @Boxofficerules @BoxOfficeFangrl @BoxOfficeZ @Brainbug @Captain Craig @CaptainJackSparrow @Catty @cdsacken @cax16 @Jedi Jat @chasmmi @ChD @Chewy @ChipMunky @CJohn @Claire of Themyscira @Cmasterclay @cookie @CoolioD1 @DAJK @darkelf @Darth Lehnsherr @Daxtreme @ddddeeee @DeeCee @Deja23 @EarlyDeadlinePredictions @Eevin @el sid @ElsaRoc @elcaballero @Empire @EmpireCity @Exxdee @Fancyarcher @FantasticBeasts @Films @Finnick @FlashMaster659 @franfar @Frozen @FrozenUnicorn @FrozenFan626 @Goffe @Gopher @grim22 @IceFire9yt @Inceptionzq @IronJimbo @Ithil @Jack Nevada @James @Jandrew @Jason @Jayhawk @Jim Shorts @JimiQ @JJ-8 @justvision @K1stpierre @Kalderic @Kalo @kayumanggi @KeepItU25071906 @kitik @Krissykins @lilmac @Lion Roar @LonePirate @m3racer123 @Mattrek @MCKillswitch123 @Mekanos @Menor @Michael Gary Scott @Mike Hunt @misafeco @Morieris @MovieMan89 @Spaghetti @MrGlass2 @Ms Lady Hawk @Mulder @Napoleon @narniadis @Neo @Noctis @Nova @Olive @Ozymandias @peludo @Porthos @RandomCat @RealLyre @Rebeccas @reddevil18 @redfirebird2008 @RichWS @RobrtmanAStarWarsReference @Rorschach @rukaio101 @Sam @sfran43 @Shawn @Sheikh @ShouldIBeHere @SLAM! @Spidey Freak @TalismanRing @tawasal @terrestrial @That One Guy @The Fast and the Furiosa @ThiagoMaia @titanic2187 @TLK @Tower @tribefan695 @trifle @TwoMisfits @VanillaSkies @vc2002 @VenomXXR @ViewerAnon @Walt Disney @Water Bottle @Webslinger @Wrath @WrathOfHan @YourMother the Edgelord @ZeeSoh @Jake Gittes @Plain Old Tele @Ethan Hunt @Xillix @Rorschach @YourMother the Edgelord @Reddroast @Jandrew @grim22 @MrPink @chasmmi @Eric in Boots @Blankments @MrGamer @Cap @CJohn @charlie Jatinder @tribefan695 @Empire @Jayhawk the Hutt @Sal @DAJK @ZeeSoh @carolwoodpr @RealLyre @Arendelle Legion @aabattery @TMP@Jamiem @lorddemaxus@ThomasNicole @von Kenni If you are being @ed and have already sent me a list, feel free to ignore.

@SchumacherFTW See Afterlife did open well, but it still opened below the Feig movie. If Mickey's Law didn't exist, the film would have opened above it. Mickey's Law works in shifty, mysterious ways.

At a cursory glance it looks like it's doing alright, but I haven't had the time to run any comps

What's most baffling is that they place it in the middle of the trailer run. If it was sandwiched into Maria Menounos' show that's understandable, but you're telling me I have to see this shit inbetween the trailers? When I'm already watching 25 minutes of previews for movies I'll never watch? The jackassery!

2.6M previews would probably lead to like a 65M 5-Day, assuming things are way more frontloaded compared to 2016/2017. Don't know if Encanto's previews will go that high, but that would basically be the biggest kids title since Space Jam 2.

FWIW, I do think adult-oriented dramas or awards hopefuls will still exist. Regardless of their capitalist piggery, studios like throwing in more prestigious titles that they can sell to streamers or place onto their own services to get some accolades and attention. The only real difference is that they will likely just be day-and-date hybrid releases. They're starting to dwindle now, but I doubt they're going away just yet. I know that will still sting for some of us traditionalists, but it's better than nothing, and you can still catch them at your local multiplex.

I did a cursory look at sales for Gucci the other day, and FWIW it does seem to be doing better than recent adult fare, but I haven’t really placed it under any comps just yet. Still I am hopeful that Gaga at the very least will bring in some of the youths. Plus this and West Side (which is sadly dunzo in my eyes) are the only movies my mom says we have to see together. Maybe it’s a sign

Sigh. I remember when Star Trek Beyond and Jason Bourne were neck-and-neck and there was a friendly rivalry on the boards. Those were the days.

Simple: I was just kind of disappointed by IM here, because I kinda felt like the film would have done like 10x its previews, which it won't. Of course I didn't really account for the 4PM previews start and arguably the film getting more of a fan rush skew. And I initially kinda thought it was reaching a weekend gross in the mid-30s after Gitesh's early numbers, which was below my expectations going into the weekend. Deadline's banking on it reaching in the low 40s off Saturday matinees, and in that respect, I think that's still totally fine. Opening on par with the Feig movie on a lower budget, of course, is really, really good.

@von Kenni All I'm going to say is that it is in fact possible for a film to be review bombed by trolls, while also not being liked by audiences at the same time. Trust me, I was there when all of this was going down.

Disappointed at the frontloadedness here. Mickey's Law strikes again I suppose.
