WENDELL & WILD SHOULD'VE BEEN THEATRICAL
You should've been theatrical.

and I find it rich that you went out of your way to include DC Super Pets but didn’t include Teen Titans Go from 2018
Ah! I knew I forgot something. So now we add in Teen Titans Go, we go from 3.1x for that period down to...3.08x. Cool. I also decided to remove the 2021 stuff, since that's a valid point there. And now we go from 2.65x to...2.64x. Neat!

Coraline did a similar Fathom Event last year, and over the span of four days, it earned a whopping $7.1 million. It just has a lot of fans willing to see it on the big screen for whatever reason. Though granted, I'm a fan of the movie too, so I get it. Nightmare Before Christmas made $10 million that same year, albeit with a bigger rollout, so I guess spooky stop-motion is a theatrical event for some people.

The narrative that superhero films are somehow less or more leggier / frontloaded than they ever were just like superhero fatigue being a thing is one of the worst BOT and film twitter takes, which are easily disproven time and time again despite some trying to make fetch happen.
But...they are more frontloaded. That is just me stating facts.
If you want a comparison, these were the legs for superhero movies releasing in 2017-2019. I'm excluding Far From Home, as that opened on a weekday.
QuoteGuardians of the Galaxy 2 2.66 Thor Ragnarok 2.57 Spider-Man Homecoming 2.86 Wonder Woman 4 Justice League 2.44 Logan 2.56 Avengers Infinity War 2.63 Black Panther 3.46 Deadpool 2 2.54 Ant-Man and the Wasp 2.86 Aquaman 4.94 Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse 5.38 Avengers Endgame 2.4 Captain Marvel 2.78 Joker 3.49 X-Men Dark Phoenix 2.01 Teen Titans Go! 2.86 Average 3.084705882 And now here's the legs for superhero movies from 2021-2023. Though some stuff like Black Widow and The Suicide Squad were excluded due to day-and-date streaming stuff.
QuoteDoctor Strange 2 2.19 Black Panther 2 2.5 Thor 4 2.38 The Batman 2.76 Black Adam 2.51 Morbius 1.89 DC League of Super Pets 4.07 Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse 3.16 Guardians of the Galaxy 3 3.03 Ant-Man 3 2.02 The Flash 1.96 The Marvels 1.83 Shazam 2 1.91 Blue Beetle 2.9 Aquaman 2 4.5 Average 2.640666667 So yeah. This isn't a myth. This isn't a hot take from those pesky Film Twitter and BOT users who are out to get Marvel. I'm stating facts. Part of the reason granted is because of COVID stuff and bad reception from certain movies. In The Batman's case, it's because it was on HBO Max for free just 45 days later. But even if a few movies did get better reviews or less restrictions on their release, I don't think it would change the average that drastically. Getting less than 2 times your opening was unheard of for the genre apart from Batman v Superman. But we just got four instances over the past two years. That means something.
Not everything negative about superhero movies is some sort of attack against them, and I really wish you would not do such implications again.

After crawdads and HG prequel, maybe it is time to consider if the post-covid BO dynamic shifts has made female driven book adaptation more leggy ?
Similar situation happened to horror, today horror is no longer a frontloaded genre like we used to assume.
Feels like almost everything is leggier these days. Superhero movies seem to be the one exception, more frontloaded than ever, thougn who knows if Deadpool 3 is a sign of things to come?

Just binge watched it last couple of days.
This was… Absolutely fine? 7/10 or something?I have no idea where all the hatred comes from. It certainly could have had better dialogs (still better than the prequels on this though), some characters could have had better development (Bazil??? Helloooo? What were you doing mate??) but overall it felt like they got to where they wanted to get to just fine with it.
All this crazy hate online for it… Just 2024 things I guess.
Arguably 25% of the Star Wars fandom are full of alt-right bigots. That's where the hate is coming from. It's so peculiar this is the kind of audience this franchise attracts, but oh well.

Said this in another thread, but I've had two separate people at work come up to me and mention how excited they were for this. If Snow White can get 120M trailer views, this is for sure going to reach some crazy high metrics.

I never really got the hate for the way that Alien 3 opens, it was made 7 years after Aliens so even if they’d kept Hicks and Newt alive they’d have had to recast Newt, as Carrie Henn would’ve looked noticeably older. Hicks and Newt dying immediately sets the tone, and if they’d kept them alive it’d have run the risk of just being a rehash of Aliens but in a prison.
Plus, this is a horror franchise. The whole gist of these movies has been one recurring actor, with a whole new cast to interact with and play off of. What else can you really do with Hicks and Newt anyways?

Anecdotal, but I've had two different people at work today come up to me and talk to me about how excited they were for the new live-action Lilo and Stitch. It's also got massive views and likes on Instagram and TikTok. Way more than for Mufasa and Snow White (they aren't slouches either!) Don't know if I think it will win the summer or not just yet, but it's going to be in the top three easily. Only Jurassic World or Superman seem like the only potential upsetters.
Won't win domestically though. Right now, I'm thinking it's either Zootopia or Avatar.

According to the official synopsis for the long-awaited sequel, Judy and Nick "find themselves on the twisting trail of a mysterious reptile who arrives in Zootopia and turns the mammal metropolis upside down."
The synopsis continues, "To crack the case, Judy and Nick must go undercover to unexpected new parts of town, where their growing partnership is tested like never before."
So yeah, they're still cops. With a "growing partnership" 🤔
They should have a growing partnership with me 🧐

But we do know why.
Universal has 17 days window for <50 M opener and 30(31?) days if it's >50 M
The question is: when will this stupid practice end?
Never.

First world problems over here but, the clear overestimation for It Ends With Us is a little silly. Like I know a 50M opening sounds shiny and exciting, but having an actually reasonable Sunday hold and putting out a 48M estimate is still going to get you a lot of good headlines.

Actually a decent hold for Trap. Better than Old's second weekend hold in fact.

Alien: Romulus | August 16, 2024 | Fede Alvarez | See the original Alien in theaters on April 26

Metacritic is 63 from 17 reviews. Scanning through, it definitely reads like how Disney would do an Alien movie alright. For better or for worse.
