no, I'm saying Venom, Star/Born and Venom are to be one-hit wonders, and like Jurassic World, monster of the week X-files episodes whereas Halloween 8 will be on AMC for decades to come.
I think Hunter Killer was looking at 15, but has now dropped to 10. action movies might have timed out by then? Halloween should be WOM immune so I don't see where Hunter Killer becomes first choice material at the ticket window over the rest of the holdovers. Who knows, I stay away from TV advertisements so I barely saw a glimpse of Halloween promotion. Somehow I've dodged a lot of tv spots for 6 months.
Is Hunter Killer promoting strong? Any advertising tv commercial #s??
What exactly is a "one hit wonder" movie? How are Venom & ASIB considered one hit wonders? I thought only music had one hit wonders.

A Fandango survey of 1,000 moviegoers indicated prior to the weekend that 93% were looking forward to seeing a different kind of Marvel anti-hero, while 90% couldn’t wait for a future Venom/Spider-Man match-up (even though the former property isn’t part of Disney’s MCU) while 80% were going because they were Tom Hardy fans That's the reason I'm going to see it next weekend!

And yet, it took MI6 a full 50 days to eek past the DOM total of Ant Man and the Wasp, a film we all shrugged off box-office-wise a good month and a half ago.
That shows the strength of, and expectations for, any Marvel release these days.
No "eeking" involved.

I just got out of the predator and it is as bad as most people are saying it is. It is discombobulated and it's all over the map and I have no idea really what it is I just watched. It doesn't have any of the feel or the spirit of the original and even though they try to pay homage to the original and many ways I just kind of hated this movie. It's the first Predator film that I've truly disliked.
Oh that's too bad. I remember my boyfriend dragging me to see the original Predator in the theater - boy was I pleasantly surprised - I loved it - guess I won't be checking this one out.

At the theater for The Nun. This starts in 5 minutes, and only six other seats have been sold. The show in an hour is at two seats. So yeah, not looking great.
Aren't you always complaining about all the old people in your neck of the woods? Don't think old people are the demographic who rush out to see horror movies.

As Paramount/Skydance’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout gets ready to parachute into China (with an assist from Alibaba Pictures and with Tom Cruise visiting the market this week), the international cume through Sunday is $344.8M for $538.7M worldwide. Unmasking another $13M in 61 markets this session, the movie had a 38% holdover drop. For the same markets, Fallout is running 17% ahead of Rogue Nation.
Highlights of the session include France which, in its 4th weekend, added $1.9M at 930 for a 33% dip and a $22M cume. Slow-burn Japan is keeping the fuse lit with a $35.4M total to date off of a 38% weekend drop. Germany slid just 10% for a $12.3M total to date after four frames. And the UK after five sessions has grossed $28.1M (-37% week-on-week). Other major cumes include Australia at $12.2M, Brazil at $11.4M and the Netherlands with $6.1M.
Before China on August 31, Fallout jumps into Italy on August 29.

Internationally, Fallout fell just 47% and continues to track ahead of Rogue Nation (+19%) in like-for-likes. China is still to release the movie, on August 31.
New this session was Poland at No. 1 with $615K from 144 locations. The result is 35% above Rogue Nation.
Slow-burn Japan, a key consumer of the Mission movies, held No. 1 with a 24% drop and a cume of $18.7M. France’s 2nd frame dipped 44% for a $14.4M cume to date, and Germany also held the No. 1 slot on a slight 12% drop and an $8M total so far. Australia’s sophomore session lifted the total to $8.9M as the movie maintained No. 1 and the Netherlands’ second outing saw a mere 2% slide for $3.9M through Sunday.
In 3rd weekend holds, Korea has cumed $46.4M to lead all play; the UK is now at $22.4M; Taiwan has $11.9M; Mexico rose to $10.8M; Brazil’s tally is $9.6M; and the UAE has $6.4M. The total Middle East region has grossed $13.9M.

Really? Because the last two years, I grew annoyed how baby boomers, gen X and early millenials (born early eighties) would massively rely and share the most asinine memes and conspirationist fake news on Facebook (when they're not flooding FB with stupid copy/pasted "inspirational quotes" to cope with their midlife crisis) without even reading it or fact checking it. They're also prone to comment everything clickbaity on public for everyone to see. I'd say Facebook is still holding on because of that generation as the younger ones moved to Instagram and Snapshat.
Yeah Really! Yes some people my age are prone to do that - annoys me too but don't act like people younger than me aren't fools too. Also annoys me how younger generations are constantly outraged by anything anybody says or does on a daily basis & how they have to let everybody & their mother know so it goes both ways. I guess you should just stay off of Facebook then - me & my friends use it because we all live so far away now & keep in touch that way & no we don't post anything "inspirational" to cope with our imaginary midlife crises. Despite what you may think we are not all stupid.

No they don't. His biggest following is Gen X, and they don't flood social media like millenials and gen Z do. His movies aren't "blowing up" like they used to because we're in a new box office era. The Rock is the #1 star of this new era and outside of Jumanji, his movies aren't blowing up either. Skyscraper isn't even going to outgross Mummy....so a Cruise-centric movie with an awful RT score and awful audience score is going to beat a Rock-centric movie with a below average RT score and good audience score. But Tom is so toxic right?
Tom is fine. Yall overblow the narrative. Plenty of actors and actresses from as recent as 5 years ago don't get leading work anymore, for no real reason, yet Tom is still able to just chug along...because he's seen in a much better light now.
That's the truth - you wouldn't catch me or anyone I know who is my age (2 years younger than Cruise) flooding social media - actually we tend to get quite annoyed with it.

Is Cruise really still "extremely controversial?" I don't know, he seems much, much more tame now. I took both of my parents to Fallout and they never said "idk about seeing a Cruise movie", "I don't want to support him." And these are the same parents that initially wouldn't let me watch Harry Potter because of witchcraft.
IDK, I'm just speaking for myself, but I feel like yall are overblowing the "Tom is still very toxic" narrative. He hasn't done anything publically weird in forever. Easy to forget he was even married to Katie Holmes. I'm sure when Top Gun comes out next year, gen X - the generation he probably alienates the most - will be super excited.
And personally, regardless of his personal life, 5 of the last 6 Cruise movies I've seen - Fallout, AM, EOT, MI:RN, MI:GP, Oblivion - I've enjoyed very much. Oblivion wasn't really his fault, was just super boring. He is still a rare type of movie star and I think audiences understand that. It's either Cruise, or some screaming tween youtuber. Take your pick.
Have no more likes but I totally agree with everything you said. BTW who is that cute little baby?

Paramount/Skydance’s sixquel revved the engines to a $76M sophomore frame internationally to take the offshore cume to $205M and the global tally to $329.5M. In 56 total markets, Fallout is gunning 21% ahead of Rogue Nation at the same stage of play. That film finaled at $683M worldwide.
In 13 of Fallout’s 20 new markets, it set an opening record for the franchise as well as setting the biggest Tom Cruise start in nine. France, where a large part of the film was shot, opened to $8M from 705 locations to log a debut that’s 57% bigger than Ghost Protocol and 1% over Rogue. France is in the throes of a devastating heatwave which likely had a role in the movie not topping Rogue by a bigger percentage.
Japan, the lead market on the first three movies and the 2nd hub on the last two, got off to an $8M start as well, from 367 cinemas. That’s +24% on GP and +19% on Rogue. Australia was also new, with $5M from 304 and 45% of the market share. It’s the best start for the franchise and is well above the last two movies. Germany’s $3.8M from 600 was good for 31% of the market and +7% on GP, +9% on Rogue. The Netherlands jumped in with $1.8M at 127 for the best M:I and Cruise bows.
As noted above, Norway’s leap was the best for the franchise, Cruise and Paramount. With 57% of the market, it started at $1.6M from 127. That’s 156% over GP and 108% above Rogue. Denmark hit the same milestones with $1M at 101 and Swedenbowed to $956K in 122 cinemas, also the best for the series and Cruise.
Korea leads all play, holding with an $8.6M weekend despite the mega-arrival of sequel Along With The Gods: The Last 49 Days, and has now cumed $41.5M. The UK is next with a 50% drop for $18.7M to date.
Other major cumes include India (-75%/$12.9M cume), Taiwan (-36%/$9.9M cume), Indonesia (-54%/$9.4M), Mexico (-52%/$9.1M) and Brazil(-35%/$7.5M).
Italy is the next major on August 29, followed by China on August 31.

Sticking with this frame, however, there were 20 additional markets getting in on the action including France, Japan. Australia, Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia. All were No. 1s and above Rogue Nation and its predecessor, Ghost Protocol. Japan was the lead hub on the first three films in the series (it slid to 2nd place as China took over on the last two) and this weekend grossed $8M from 367 cinemas to outpace Rogue Nation by 19%. Korea continues to lead all play at $41.5M (holding well against local opener Along With The Gods: The Last 49 Days).
Also of particular note, Norway’s $1.6M at 127 launch is the best for the franchise, for Cruise and for Paramount. It follows last week’s hiking/screening stunt atop Pulpit Rock which features during the movie’s last section (see below).
Among overall Fallout records for the weekend, 13 new markets had the top M:Ifranchise opening; 9 were the best ever for Cruise; and 8 set IMAX records for the series. In the format, M:I6 has seen audiences accept their mission to the tune of $10.6M overseas and $25.1M globally.

And even outgrossed the original SM’s $403M.
It goes to show that dinos can crush anything in their paths.
Next up is HG, CA3 & IM3’s DOM-grosses.
Took my grandson to see it yesterday - was so disappointed - we really didn't like it - just seemed sad & mean - no fun at all.

It's a divisive movie to most people. That's why it's strange that the tittle says "best action movie since fury road" as 50% of people will not find much hope in that
It's as if people think "Well critics said it's the best action movie so it must be". Guess what guys, critics can be wrong
I remember being hyped for it, got 5 of my mates to come watch it and by the end of the film i was ridiculed for wasting their time with my shitty movie taste and I couldn't even argue otherwise 😂
I was constantly wondering what the hell did they all eat & who would really want to live in that barren landscape.

The new release already down to #3.
Amazing for Mamma Mia, beating Mission Impossible in its opening 3 day weekend. Fantastic. That 27% second weekend drop is also amazing. Going to see it on Friday.
I'm not amazed - look at what the first one grossed in the UK compared to what MI:RN grossed.

Carl Lumbly is a good pick but man how I loved Scatman Crothers - he was perfect for me in that part. Still not sold on Ewan - don't really care for his American accents.

liam neeson is another sad example. he's too talented for these movies. he stroke gold with taken, but that was a flash in the pan. most of his other action movies have not been good critical or BO.
keanu-the same with JW
Denzel is mixing it up beautifully. action with prestige movies. he's not a good example
You said action movies were for the young & I listed a handful of actors who are not young who are making these movies - doesn't matter if the example is good or not according to you - it is fact.

I'm sure Cruise will gravitate towards more serious roles when he's in his 60s. American Made showed that he's still capable of giving an actual performance with no stunts involved.
Exactly - American Made was great - really enjoyed it.

People under 30 don’t give a fuck about Tom Cruise or Mission Impossible which is a big reason why this franchise hasn’t really grown since Ghost.
Their loss - my sons & nephews under 30 are all going to see it - they like great action movies & Tom always delivers.

The Firm (1993) - Tom Cruise
in Classic Box Office Runs
Posted
I'm stunned too - I thought it was a fantastic thriller & very true to the book. And such a phenomenal cast - how anybody could be bored by this movie is beyond me.
