    Both Good Boys and Sausage Party had good legs. And Strays isn't even out yet. WTF

    There have been a few good ones, but yup. I think Trainwreck, Sausage Party, Good Boys, and Bros are the only decent ones over the last 8 years. All but one pre-COVID, and then Bros obviously flopped for more than COVID reasons.

    Also kinda tough that besides Stephanie Hsu (sort of), none of these actresses are even remotely stars. Used to be that comic actors could build fame through supporting roles before getting their starring vehicle. Now they go straight to the starring vehicle.

    That's more than a little peculiar. This oughta be catnip for suburban parents/kids.

    After that huge Tuesday I think Sound of Freedom will go much higher.

    Upon rewatch... Fallout MI1 Rogue Nation MI3 Ghost Protocol MI2 MI2 is the only bad one in the bunch.

    Somebody needs to explain to me how MI3 is the worst when it has the best villain and the only romance with any heart.

    I still haven't seen a Meg 2 trailer in theaters. Having your trailer in theaters is like the bare minimum.

    If this opens to 50 mil I'll be in awe of what Nolan's name can accomplish.
  10. tonytr87
    Fair enough. The trailers haven't been as good for sure.

    The Flash was preceded by Justice League and other bad movies. Not to mention news of a reboot. Dial of Destiny was preceded by Crystal Skull. Fast X was preceded by two bad movies. Despite quite a bit of precedent, we underestimated how damaged these brands had become. Meanwhile Rise of the Beasts was preceded by Bumblebee and somehow, some way grossed more than Indy on opening weekend and has overperformed somewhat.

    The only way to complete rebuilding theatrical is to divest somewhat from streaming, but studios seem unwilling to do that. Return to the 6-9 month window (and even then only make it available via digital rental) and the business will fully recover within a year.

    People keep saying this about every movie this summer. I think social media and algorithms have just ensured that not everybody sees the same ads anymore. There is Mission Impossible everywhere at movie theaters and on cable TV.

    I've also heard things about moviegoing culture in other countries (CJohn is from Portugal it seems), where it's just not the norm to respect the "sanctity" of the experience. For example, in Mexico it's seen as much more of an interactive, less serious endeavor.

    Where the fuck do you live?

    They're either making it up or they live far from major cities where etiquette could be worse I suppose. But I'm with you, I go once sometimes twice a week and rarely experience any issues. When I do it's during an animated flick because obviously kids are more unruly.

    Unfortunately it's not a part of most school curriculums. Most scifi classics, like 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, are read in school.

    Elemental is a good step for Pixar. Even if it's still not enough given the high budget (a trend this summer), Pixar is going to have to rebuild just like the theatrical business overall had to rebuild (and is still rebuilding).

    Can somebody explain to me why movies with sub-20 mil openings and not-at-all-bad WOM are experiencing 50% drops in their second weekend? Just doesn't make sense that stuff like Asteroid City & No Hard Feelings would be frontloaded at all.
  20. tonytr87
    For godsake the movie hasn't even opened yet.
  21. tonytr87
    Fallout was the highest OW for the franchise and even that only grossed 61 mil. Anything over that for DR will be impressive in my book.
  22. tonytr87
    Lot of people thought this at the time too. Just completely boneheaded that they thought they would see the same success by fast-forwarding in order to catch up with Marvel.
  23. tonytr87
    Blown away by how poorly this has performed. Just does not compute for me. The movie's not great but it's not bad at all, sometimes even flirts with greatness before the third act. I'm not sure what GA is hating given their lack of discernment elsewhere. Part of me is beginning to wonder if more people than we think know about the coming reboot. First Shazam 2 opens 20 mil lower than anticipated, now Flash opens 30 mil lower than anticipated.
  24. tonytr87
    Assuming it's bad based on this move. Nevertheless, just...why?
  25. tonytr87
    I'm thinking Barbie at 90m+ and Oppenheimer around 40m.
