GODZILLA vs. KONG | March 31 2021 | Adam Wingard to direct
Spectre replied to grim22's topic in Box Office Discussion
I don't think this means anything for its future date... the films that are most likely to move into the massive hole this move would create (In the Heights or Scoob) are still filming right now. They're not going to shuffle dates without knowing that the new film will be ready at the earlier release date. -
The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Spectre replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
It'll show up in the Top 5 tonight... in that slice above it's already at #4 over Pikachu if you combine its standard, IMAX and 3D showings. Just need to wait for the 24 hour to roll over. -
They could've done more with it though. No idea why they shot Genie straight on for most of that clip. The original animation darts all over the damn place during this song which makes it feel more lively. They could've achieved a similar effect here with quick cuts and costume changes (even without the Robin Williams voice impressions). Instead, they did it once when he's riding the ostrich and half of the shot is bland.

If it keeps this pace up, it'll clear $100M. It's outpacing The Bucket List by $5.5M (more if you exclude the $1.4M from limited release) and has shown better holds. Pretty crazy for STX. Only question is if it can keep holding well once this barren part of the schedule is over after this weekend.

Nah, it's one of those weird Funimation releases. Not a ton of showtimes, skips days at some places and they're usually only around for two weeks. Although, if there ends up being enough demand from people who get convinced to watch or who want to see it again (WoM is off the charts among DBZ fans) maybe they'll adjust and have it stick around for longer. Going to be absurdly front-loaded most likely but this is still a massive opening for it.

Families who want to see something wholesome over the holidays/early winter that appeals to all quadrants. There's nothing else that really fits the bill this year. You're looking at pretty much the same group that came out to see The Greatest Showman last year. TGS wasn't about it being an inaccurate historical-fiction flick about P.T. Barnum and his freak show with mediocre reviews. People who thought that totally missed its success because it sounded crappy on the surface. It was about it being a feel-good, family friendly movie with catchy songs and entertaining dancing. Mary Poppins can pull in that same crowd on a much larger scale for the exact same reasons as well as some additional benefits like the known IP, cast, and Disney's backing. The songs will have to be top notch but if it's all done well, this will absolutely explode.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Spectre replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
I don't know that I'd judge First Man solely based on presales... I feel like a lot of the target audience is of the walk-up variety.
