  1. Assuming 50m 3 days for AQP2, this mean AQP2 is not that far off from the pre-pandemic tracking of 55m-70m. Which mean, whatever Paramount have done for AQP2 in term of marketing before pandemic, their buzz still works after 15months, especially given Paramount has done almost nothing during this 2nd go. Good to know that marketing buzz created 15 months ago is still working, hope the vaccine can last this long too in the body.
  2. With this, Arclight cinema revival is getting close. But weirdly this number has been out for nearly half an hour but press like Variety or Deadline or anyone are still report nothing on this. Could this 19.3m a prank??
  3. If this is a normal weekend then perhaps not, but with Sunday acting like another Saturday, 50m 3 days is a more likely than not situation. Buzz for AQP2 has been lacking actually but wom is good enough. One of my friend have seen it, his comment is the 1st one is more special, and give fresh impression but this sequel is more crowd-pleasing.
  4. these 14.5m is a surprise since all tracking we have suggest 12m+ true friday. With this , preview/friday is about 3x, which make a lot more sense and closer to the normal world that we have been hoping for,
  5. Convenience and easy are two different concept. It is value adding if you offer convenience to people. But if you make your product so easily available to so many people without any time constraint, that basically mean you are too easy. Just like gold or diamond, they won't worth much if they are so readily available to millions and people won't cherish it. This is part of the problem with streaming, they don't feel special enough because they are easy girls/boys.
  6. I agree. The multiplier is way too off for a movie with good WOM compared to pre-pandemic time. Even EG, a far more fan-driven at that high number managed to get 2.6x but of course that is due to spillover effect too. TROS did 2.23x too despite mixed reaction, and have their number at much much higher level. The macro factor is really biting the dynamic of carry over effects.
  7. I was hoping for at least 13m for true friday. This doesn't put a smile on face. Assuming 46m 3 days for AQP2 and some 16m for Cruella. Overall box office is likely to top 70m or even 75m. Of course this is higher than MK+DS weekend but IMO, it is simply not high enough. 2021's MW is likely to be 60% lower than that of in 2019. This is actually far better than 80% that we have seen since beginning of the year. At least the gap is closing.
  8. If UK and Australia's number are any guide, this will make some big money, beating Raya or Croods 2.
  9. The premise sound very very dumb but when I see director name.....everything is explained. Roland emmerich fame basically go down in line with the decline of disaster genre and I doubt he can revitalize the genre in anyway. Hope Lionsgate can still make some bucks out of this. 140m is not a small budget for a mid-sized studio.
  10. Look very colourful for a horror film. The trailer does its job to hook and creating curiosity. Hope this doesn't stink
  11. I am very surprised MGM is still worth 8.5b, that lion logo probably made up half of the value.
  12. I honestly got disinterested after seeing the trailer, especially with James Wan is no longer in charge but these solid reactions got my interest reignited.
  13. AQP2 last minute release could be because of they realise F9 drop too fast and that jeopardize their May's goal so that quickly give AQP2 a pass in the hope it can make up some ground from F9's disastrous leg which they clearly didn't expect.
  14. 4.8m for AQP2 is 0.2m lower than what I hoped for but it is not low enough to distort my hope for 50m 3 days. Exhibition needs a record breaker to boost confidence and give them some leverage against studio and streamer. 30m 3 days projected by Variety is not enough and it shouldn't been regarded as "Not a big deal if AQP2 debut to 30m". GvK pandemic record has to go down now. Theaters can't afford to wait until F9 or BW in July for that.
  15. Is that common that your theater have this many empty seats? Doesn't look like a profitable venue for me or people are still haunted by 2000+ daily cases?
  16. Somehow Cruella can get 3892 theaters. Disney power.
