The holds for this keep getting better.

GxK beat Not enough money 3 to become the biggest movie of 2024. It made about $5.5m as of last weekend.

Civil war is great, very well-crafted and retain the niche feature of A24 brand. I don’t think its apolitical tone hurt the movie quality, instead, the direction allows the movie to focus on photojournalism like Spotlight meet the Killing field. But, I do think the lack of backstory of the war itself limit the movie from becoming greater.

Civil War continue to have similar trend as KoTFM but better 2nd Friday. 70m is in play if better trend continue but over EEAAO would need some really great 3rd and 4th weekend hold.

For most of history you had low/mid budget success, nonfranchise blockbuster success, and other mega franchise success ensuring financial viability. If one of those replaced MCU then of course you could be continue to be fine (or at least, continue scraping by better — would really like at least 2-3/4 to actually be doing well), but if you’ve got 0/4…
Yeah, if the golden age of MCU didn't kill nonfranchise blockbusters the industry won't be in this state either. Also, the industry is still capable to generate four 600m grossers and so the 0/4 claim is an exaggeration.

If MCU dead equate to Hollywood death when the first big Marvel movie didn't come out until 2002, then what is supporting the industry survival in between 1920-2000? That is 80 years old worth of history before first Spiderman came out.

First time seeing A24 has this number 1 at BO tv spot.

A very good start for A24 as a foray to PLF screen. Their biggest hit thus far like EEAAO, iron claw or talk to me have been heavily relying on standard screen and therefore leaving the A24 behind in the IMAX/PLF-mania. Having more imax-friendly tentpoles is a must for A24 to go bigger.

Why does it surprise you? War films in general trend that way so it's within normal(ish) norms?
Edit - norms as in smaller grosses. A giant hit is obviously going to have wider demographics, but this is pulling from upper classes and in the grand scheme will be "small" overall so not pulling from the groups that go toward more "fun" films doesn't surprise.
I would also hazard to guess that the politics of the demos also pull quite liberal and white.
When the marketing put so much focus on Kirsten dunst and Spaeny, you would expect better show up from female demo. Zero dark thirty, a female centric political thriller did pull higher female demo at 41%.

Slightly disappointed by 2.9m after seeing strong late bump in the presale, especially we aren’t clear if the preview include EA. Looking at other original R-rated action film like bullet train, beekeepers and Monkey man, CW should be able to clear low 20 but if it start playing out more like drama akin to KoTFM then high 20m is possible.
-
86% RT verified audience score, quite a good WOM for an R-rated movie
-
At one point I was considering if 30m OW is possible for civil war but the acceleration seem to have come to a stop. As long as this is breaking A24 OW record I am good, although that actually isn’t a very high bar too clear.

More like rich things.
That 70% international gross share is another evidence that Oscar bump is still very lucrative in overseas market.

The movie gain significant boost in the traction on social media now after the early access. The discourse certainly help the movie as it is now one of the trending topic on twitter but oddly under “politics” section instead of entertainment.
This could be sound of freedom of 2024.

For someone who love the first one so much to the point of placing it as the best of movie of the year 2019, I am not as hyped this round simply because I thought the original work great as standalone feature.
But now I am curious what they have in mind for this sequel because just how the teaser showcase the “beauty among chaos”. I am glad they are still attempting to make this as special as possible, so that they can maintain certain level of novelty for a character that had been interpreted many many times.

Like wonka, 48 Days of exclusive run in theater.

How did it come out near 5m above estimate at this point of run? That is like 40% increase from the initial weekend estimate.

Looks like they tone down the “political divide” and focus more on photojournalism in this one. 93% fresh now with 42 reviews. 8.3/10.

I hear a lot of the concerns and complaints of the weekend and of course I wished the new outings had better openings, but the witness were on the wall here.
Monkey Man did have a great marketing start and terrific WOM from SXSW, but it went nowhere. There was no build up socially within the last week or so for this title to breakout. Positive reviews are important, but you need momentum and it felt like Uni never got the film into wider awareness or the right audiences just weren't as driven to see the movie.
For The First Omen, Disney just messed up on the marketing. No real push for weeks and only let reviews out 2 days before opening? Not a great plan. Like Monkey Man, horror fans need to know your movie is out there. I only saw one trailer for this at All of Us Strangers and have rarely seen this movie talked about outside Twitter.
These days, it feels that you can gauge on when a movie will do better than expected based on the conversation. So don't be surprised when Civil War does better than expected and Abigail sadly disappoints big time.
Actually I do feel this is common observation for Universal’s movie, they tend to have big initial marketing hype but somehow died down or slow down leading up the actual release date.

UK is about to overtake China as the biggest overseas market. 700m is safe.
