I wanted to say these are some awful weekly drops but considering last Friday was VD it's not that bad. I'm expecting huge increases for the family movies on Saturday.

The Fanboy Wa... never mind. The Weekend Thread is the place you're looking for.

Actually it's the other way around. None of the newer Pixar sequels are that groundbreaking but they got a pass from critics because they're Pixar. Dory 94% I2 94% TS4 97%

The obsession with RT needs to die. It shows the opinion of a tiny minority of the population. Also lol at the doom and gloom for a potential 80%+ score.

206M DOM is decent from that OW. You can compare it to other Thanksgiving Disney/Pixar animated openers it's in the middle of the pack. It had way better legs than The Good Dinosaur, slightly better than Ralph 2, slightly worse than Moana, and obviously worse legs than Frozen. Not great, not terrible as Comrade Dyatlov would say.

Can you guys please give me some before it's removed? I'm too nice, never got any of it. Edit: Thanks, DAJK, I love you!

The industry certainly made a big step during this 6 years. The hair and clothes animation is superb. What they did with the surroundings is even more amazing. It looks incredibly realistic while maintaining the cartoonish feel. (Click on the images to zoom)

Poll was rigged. Where was the "yes to superhero movies and no to Star Wars" option?

Disney listened to your prayers! Crap, this is not that song!

The action takes place in the beautiful city of Budapest, does it count?

Yes. Moana made additional 6.7 million after the comparable weekend (12th WE of F2 is almost identical to Moana's 11th weekend). I would still say it's more likely to miss 480M, as Moana's late run was pretty great. It will certainly come close and there is a chance to pass it.

Time for me to learn Korean then.

Yay, I never expected Marriage Story this high! 1917, Joker, Parasite, Knives Out, Endgame?

Bold prediction: No MCU movie makes the top 15.

Getting rid of 1/2 the universe's population was a r***rded idea anyway. It's not like the numbers won't go back to "normal" after a few decades creating the same situation. Unless Thanos wants to snap every 50 years or so, it doesn't make sense. Nature can deal with overpopulation just fine, no need to artificially help it.

Very true. The most important goal of the marketing campaign of a superhero movie is convincing people that it's a must see in the respective cinematic universe. Either that or you need to have the novelty factor like WW or Joker.

F1 admissions were ~0.36M in Hungary.

How many points were required to make the top 25?

Too early to open a WWW thread? But seriously what went wrong? Is the title of the movie too unclear? Bad reception of SS? Lame trailers? Lack of proper marketing? Are people starting to get tired of CBMs? Bad Boys stealing the spotlight?

Up till now the next film was a question of when I never thought it was a question of whether Okay, this is kind of cool. I don't care about the Oscars at all, but I will definitely check this when it's uploaded to YouTube.

I always wondered what is it like for a German to watch Hollywood war movies presenting them as the bad guys. Or any other American movie set during WW2 like Indiana Jones.

I don't think there is that much difference between the tone of songs in F1&F2. F2 has a fair share of catchy songs (Some Things Never Change, Into The Unknown, Lost In The Woods) and F1 also wasn't afraid to put emotions in the center of its songs (Do You Want To Build A Snowman, For The First Time In Forever (Reprise)). And there is Let It Go, which is special. It is a once in a generation type of song, probably the most influential movie song of the last 20 years. Replicating its success was impossible, I agree with that. It's like George Lucas trying to top the Vader reveal in ESB with another twist in ROTJ or James Cameron trying to invent an even more groundbreaking technology for Avatar 2. Regarding the success of the movie at the box office, earlier predictions both in the original Frozen thread and this one were not that optimistic. Around the same or slight decrease DOM and small decrease OS (because of the Japan drop and ER) was the consensus. The predictions only started to increase after the huge DOM success of the Incredibles 2 and especially after Endgame and TLK. I say Disney can be very happy with how things turned out. It will keep the animated WW record for the foreseeable future. Now they can wait another 6 years to release the final chapter. At that point F1 will be 12 years old, F1-F3 time interval will be around the same as it was for Dory and I2. The power of nostalgia will push F3 over F2 if the movie is decent and Disney sells it as the epic ending of the trilogy.

And someone said Bad Boys underperformance shows that overseas audience is racist.

I didn't care enough to vote, too many (uninteresting) categories.
