I mean I remember Amazon Studios went through some restructuring after a few flops IIRC. Maybe I’m wrong, but I can’t imagine some changes will happen in Apple’s movie/streaming division if things keep going poorly.

Earned a B+ Cinemascore (same as Shazam 2, Love and Thunder, et al), though I know it has its fans like almost every other CBM has tbf

I mean I guess, but I don't think it's fair to say competition doesn't matter. It definitely impacted the examples I listed, and, despite the rating, Twisters and Deadpool are still going for a similar action movie target audience. Though hey! You could be right that it is all lack of interest, since this is directly advertising to the people who don't go to the movies anymore. I predicted Indy to be a Top Gun-style breakout, and even thought Twisters could get the TGM audience at a smaller scale, and I've been let down twice. Lesson learned for next summer! Sorry Karate Kid, but I'm going to be bearish on you.

Will say in hindsight that Twisters probably should have dropped August 2 if it wanted to break out bigly like a lot of us hoped it would. This is basically a redux of Dungeons and Dragons and Dead Reckoning where it had lousy luck opening against a colossal giant. But at least I can understand D&D and Mario having potentially different audiences, or Paramount not expecting Barbenheimer to be what it was. Universal had to have known Deadpool would at least open to the level of Guardians 3 in a worst-case scenario.

I mean I grew up watching those cartoons and I still find them funnier than almost anything with the Minions, so…yeah. Believe me, I get the appeal. But if I don’t find their stuff funny, I’m not gonna lie and say I like them.

Need a diagnostic from folks who know OS box office better than me.

Just for funsies, here’s a look at all the re-releases from 2022 onwards and how their OWs have all stacked up so far. I’m ignoring Fathom Events or the Spider-Man re-releases, since those are one/two-day only events. If I missed any, and I’m sure I did, please let me know. 1. Avatar: 10.53M 2. The Phantom Menace: 8.72M 3. Titanic: 6.71M 4. Spider-Man: No Way Home: 5.4M 5. Return of the Jedi: 5.1M 6. The Nightmare Before Christmas: 4.29M 7. Jaws: 2.64M 8. Jurassic Park: 1.7M 9. Hocus Pocus: 1.61M 10. Alien: 1.55M 11. Shrek 2: 1.45M 12. The Lion King: 1.08M 13. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial: 1.07M 14. The Mummy: 1.03M 15. The Godfather: 0.96M 16. Turning Red: 0.58M 17. Luca: 0.56M 18. Oldboy: 0.49M 19. Soul: 0.43M 20. Amelie: 0.21M 21. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: 0.17M Stop Making Sense has very wonky box office with its re-release (says it opened at 856K, but also somehow made 1.48M in total that weekend? It’s weird), so I’m excluding that.

None of the Despicable Me movies are all that, and they still make billions. You can have a bunch of Minions play Go Fish for 90 minutes and the masses will still turn up to it like robots.

Moderation Not the Taylor Swift thread.

Still insane this is outopening all but one A24 movie. Hoping this will lead to Neon getting a better foothold in the indie scene. We can't just have A24/Searchlight doing all this.

This seems destined to do about 400-600M worldwide, sell a lot of dolls, have people argue over whether it's actually a hit or not, and be forgotten about 9 months later. Either way, not gonna be fun for me!

Moderation @Insomnia Instead of detailing threads with this kind of inflammatory rhetoric, then saying “we don’t need to derail this thread anymore”, how about you just…don’t derail the thread in the first place? You don’t have to post contemt that you know will start pointless, nonsensical drama. So don’t.

it’s actually fairly solid and standard with modern re-releases. It’s on par with Shrek 2, and better than The Mummy. These things just don’t do much more than 1-2M really, barring the occasional Avatar or Phantom Menace rerelease.

Honestly, Fly Me is in a weird spot where the timeline and concept really only appeals to the olds like my mom who grew up in the 60s, which puts it at a disadvantage considering the olds don’t go to movies anymore. Plus the romcom stuff was basically ignored in favor of the faked moon landing story, which just seemed very silly and out of left field. Plus kind of tone-deaf, considering how harmful these conspiracies are in today’s climate. And it doesn’t seem they’re going for some Adam McKay-style “look at these idiots” angle. Add on the issue of not being an NTC, and middlig reviews, and there was really nothing to grab onto or get excited about.

You have no idea how scared I was when I saw this GIF, thinking it would show...well...

Moderation One more disrespectful post like this and you will leave me with no choice but to give you a thread ban. Don’t do this again.

So we're probably getting... 1. DM4: 42.7M 2. Longlegs: 21M 3. Inside Out 2: 19.3M 4. A Quiet Place: 11M 5. Fly Me: 8M 6. Bad Boys: 4.5M 7. Maxxxine: 2.5M

Yes, but that's typically only something you get if you're a subscriber. @whatsupdoc shared some projections of theirs a few months ago here on teh forum.
