  1. I mean, it's still doing terribly, lol. I don't think we should be looking for any positives about this performance, just let it die peacefully.

    (This is about Aquaman 2, btw, not The Iron Claw)

  2. The gimmick/appeal/whatever you wanna call it about these Expendables movies has always been seeing all these big action stars together, and even that failed in the third one (and they somehow got Harrison Ford for that one!).

     

    This one's biggest new addition was... Megan Fox? Fitting for a franchise that's always felt perpetually late for 15 years.

    9 Predictions For September 2023's Box Office (screenrant.com)

     

    Expendables 4 Will Be September 2023's Biggest New Movie At The Box Office

     

    September is a surprisingly busy month for movie releases, and there's something being released that caters to every taste. While they all have a chance to become successful, Expendables 4 is at the top of the September 2023 box office predictions. Its potential box office total of $250 million is higher than any other competitor. Jason Statham is also in a more prominent role in Expend4bles, which is great news for the movie's box office. The British actor has had one success after another in multiplexes. Despite The Meg 2's critical scathing, the movie still made $354 million worldwide. That could be the same story for Expendables 4.

     

     

  4. NWH ages like milk. Once you get past the novelty of seeing Andrew and Tobey back on the screen, there's really not much left. They gave the villains (sans Dafoe) next to nothing to do, the movie is poorly shot, the screenplay is a mess. If there's any movie that exemplifies a spur of the moment thrill, it's this one. I tried rewatching it a couple of months ago at home and I simply couldn't go all the way through with it, it's so mediocre.

    Friday Midday: Early numbers show Warner Bros/DC’s Blue Beetle with $9.8M today and a $25M opening at 3,871. This is higher than what others are showing given the expectation that Latino and Hispanic audiences will show up tonight and during matinees. Remember that Blue Beetle has all the PLFs, Imax and premium upcharges working in its favor.

    Warners can boast second place in the fifth weekend of Barbie at 4,003 theaters with a $6M Friday, -40% from a week ago, and a $20M-$21M 3-day, -39%. On the high end, Barbie gets to $566.7M by EOD Sunday.

    Third and fourth respectively go to Universal with Oppenheimer and Strays. Oppenheimer at 3,321 theaters will see $3M in its fifth Friday, -40%, for $10.9M 3-day, -42% and running total of $285.5M — the Christopher Nolan film will soon overtake Inception‘s domestic of $293M. Bad news, the $46M production, R-rated Strays, is coming in at $8.5M at 3,223 after a $3.5M Friday.

    The trailer for Strays always gets huge laughs every time I’ve seen it played. Surprised by the disinterest. 
     

    $3.3m is not enough for Blue Beetle to save any face unfortunately. Will see both either this weekend or during the week.  

     

    Streaming killed the comedy genre. Nowadays you either have to be IP related if you want your comedy to succeed theatrically. If you're original, people are just going to want to wait for VOD to watch it.

  7. Well, it lasted an impressive 39 years, but today is the last day Beverly Hills Cop can claim it's one of the top ten highest grossing R-rated movies of all time. With that, as of tomorrow, the entire top 10 will be comprised of films made after the year 2000 - with Matrix Reloaded, 2003, being the oldest of the batch.

     

    Truly the end of an era. Goodnight, sweet prince Eddie Murphy.

  8. You know, it's so fucking funny how Nolan/Universal were able to sell a 3h drama about men talking about physics and going on congressional hearings as an IMAX event that's about to open to nearly $200M worldwide. Not even Christian Bale in The Prestige could've pulled off a bigger bait and switch.

    Largely full of speculation (apparently no plans for any big delays for Q3 and Q4, though who knows?), but there are some tracking details in the middle here.

     

    Haunted Mansion: 30M+

    Meg 2: 28M+

    TMNT: 40M+ 5-day

    Gran Turismo: 25M+

    Seems too high on Gran Turismo, no? Everything else looks fair to me.

    The amount of pessimism in this board is just hilarious. Once again: MI7 will be fine. It's a backloaded franchise.

     

    Elemental taught me to be patient with these things.

    A level headed reaction to numbers? On BOT?

     

    ....huh. :kitschjob:

    From what I gather Oppenheimer, Barbie and the cruise missile are three movies that could do gangbusters business. If you guys were forced to pick, which one of these films do you think will do the most domestically?

    Definitely Barbie. All signs are pointing for a breakout at this moment. I expect Dead Reckoning to increase, like, 10-15% on Fallout and Oppenheimer to come a little under Dunkirk.
