I’m sure it will be great, but the marketing hasn’t done much in the way of enticing audiences with a story/plot. It’s really relied 100% on “look at all these cool stunts!” which, maybe that’s enough for huge numbers, but I really think the marketing needs to push some kind of narrative-based reason for audiences to see this.

Weekdays Thread (5/15-18) | Guardians $5.18M Monday
DAJK replied to ThomasNicole's topic in Numbers and Data
Still a good number. Thought there was potential for higher, but not bad. -
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
DAJK replied to Eric Quinn's topic in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)
One of the rare movies that has gotten better with each rewatch. Perfect cap to the trilogy. A -
Summer weekdays are back, at least where I am in Canada. Heat wave sending people to the movies. Averaging out the 4 theatres I’ve been tracking, Monday matinees are 50-60% of Sunday matinees. 6M Monday might be a tall order, but seriously, based on what I’m seeing, I’m t wouldn’t be the most shocking thing.

My aunt and uncle were watching American Idol last night while I was marking assignments. Bailey was a guest performer, and I'm kind of ashamed to say this but this was the first time I had heard her perform a song in its entirety (I think it was Part of Your World). Holy crap, she has one of the most beautiful voices I think I've ever heard. If I was on the fence about buying a ticket for this before, I'm there ASAP. Anyone giving her hate should seriously shut up. Seriously, she is going to be stunning in the role.

Weekday presales for Guardians in Canada are NUTS. This thing is about to have another strong set of weekdays. Canada also has a 4-day weekend which will help with the drop, even if only slightly. Hold on to your butts, folks.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread (December 2021 - July 2023)
DAJK replied to Cap's topic in Numbers and Data
LOL Transformers has sold ONE ticket at my locals for Thursday previews. One. ONE!! Bomb for the ages folks. Tracking across the country is poor as well. Not going to be surprised if this does Shazam numbers domestically TBH, unless by some miracle it’s amazing. -
This is one of the rare movies where the emotional beats hit even HARDER with each rewatch. I honestly felt more the third time watching it than I did during my first viewing. Testament to good storytelling, and not just using cheap emotion to garner sympathy. The emotion is deep, and complex. Very well-written, almost uncanny for a “silly book movie.” Genuinely impressive. Gunn is the best thing that’s happened to DC since Nolan.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread (December 2021 - July 2023)
DAJK replied to Cap's topic in Numbers and Data
Fast X is going to be the lowest grossing of the franchise since Fast 4 (or whatever it’s called). Presales are abysmal in Canada, and don’t really seem to be showing signs of picking up. Mermaid is beating Aladdin’s sales ticket-for-ticket, and adjusted for inflation this is doing 100M for the 3-day alone if not more. 400M DOM doesn’t seem impossible if WOM is there. -
Been chatting with the managers at my old theatre. Yup, this is going to be BIG, and theaters are expecting it to be. Between this, Mermaid, and Flash opening back to back to back, this is basically May 2007 all over again. But this time, it seems like the movies themselves will deliver quality wise.

Been seeing online edits of GOTG trilogy remade as Star Wars posters in the artwork of the Original Trilogy. And it’s making me truly believe that this series is going to stand the test of time as Marvel’s best. Sure, there will be other Spider-Men. There will be more Avengers movies. But in 30 years from now, this will be the series (along with maybe the first Black Panther movie, and Endgame) that people are going to remember, and will be regarded as classics of the genre. The quality and reception of GOTG3 solidifies that for me. Strong trilogy all-around, not a single entry is “disliked” by the general public.

The superhero genre is going to die once the quality starts to consistently drop. 2022 wasn’t the best year, but GOTG3 is somewhat of a rebound for the genre. If Spiderverse and Flash continue this reversal, I’d say the genre will be much healthier by the end of the year than it was, say, 3 months ago. Even if Marvels just ends up being okay.

Sub-50% drop for a MCU movie in 2023 is nuts. That would be like a Twilight or Potter movie having an excellent 2nd weekend hold 10-15 years ago I really hope people don’t underestimate the significance of this number. Stellar WOM, truly a lifeline for the MCU.
