    Here’s THR trying to explain that low CinemaScore:

    Insiders close to the film aren’t overly concerned about the CinemaScore, noting that 85 percent of moviegoers gave it an A or a B. This suggests that a vocal minority dragged down the overall score by giving it a C or lower.

    If there is true that must be one of the most organised troll ever because all three exit poll (Postrak, cinemascore and verified RT score) align with each other. Not even TLJ backlash could bring down its cinemascore and it was only RT audience score was affected. I can’t imagine any vocal group to root against Apes because the franchise has been largely non-offensive, unless people got offended to see all black apes.

    Local movie seem doing alright but Hollywood take a big dive after Covid. Now Hollywood is no longer that of a baseline provider for cinema as local shift away their taste from Hollywood fare. 

    You can say the same to Malaysia. Hollywood has been dominating in the past 20-30 years and they take yearly top 1 all the time. But local movie has made big progress here post-Covid and 3-years in a row, local movie won the top place of the year. Hollywood appeal to local masses is declining here and sometime they even struggle to compete with regional movie from Korea, India, China and Indonesia. If Hollywood remain actionless to their demising international appeal, US dominant soft power influence will truly be gone.

  3. 55m for Sheriff but upon clarification, this figure actually include neighbouring country like Brunei and Singapore. The Malaysia only number should be around 52m+. Using 50m as the threshold for uber-blockbuster, Sheriff is the fifth movie to pass that mark post-Covid, as well as the 2nd highest grossing local movie of all time.

    The Fall Guy is based on an old TV series and Tarot is based on a book.

    Applying substances over form principle, Fall Guy is more original than "IP". 99% of the people went to see the movie don't know that tv series exists and the marketing made almost zero reference to that tv series. Enough to call Fall Guy a original movie rather than a IP.

  5. At one point I thought If free Guys made it to 28m OW, JC managed to open to 34m during Covid and TLC open to 30m, there is no way Fall Guy will not beat those numbers, especially when the market are this dead. Turns out whatever the OW we saw with JC or TLC, those OW were actually already represent the "recovered" state of the market. More than 2 years after Covid, this genre made zero progress for recovery.

     

    Likewise for adult drama, people can no longer claim HoG would made much more in 2023 than its 54m in 2021. After 2 years of data, it is time to conclude that 54m is pretty much what HoG would get in any years post Covid.

    I don’t feel that way either, but I think enough do for it to not be as big a hit as it might have been a few years ago. 
     

    we’ll see how the multi shakes out but it’s such a disappointing preview number considering the word on its quality has been so good for weeks. 

    In the post-pandemic moviegoing, the movie can't just be good. They need to make audience feel special, either during the movie or during its marketing. Fall Guy the movie itself is good but it is quite generic. It is a similar situation like DnD. Good WOM alone can't do the trick.

    Predicting opening weekend is very annoying with these EA shows. Was there ever any clarity on what Civil War grossed true Thursday? 

    I know EA has become a lot more common nowadays but did studios study their positive impact? I seriously can't see the benefit of having EA, at least statistically. Looks like they simply shift the Thursday or Friday crowd to EA without causing the actual OW itself to overperform.

    Do people generally think Civil War has enough remaining runway to hit 75 mil?

    I don’t think so it is hitting 75, more like 65m. In a so quiet weekend the movie still dropping near 40% isn’t exactly a good sign for a great hold for the remaining run, especially with competition are on their way.

    The top studio movie of the weekend internationally was Godzilla x Kong with estimated $14.9M in 78 markets during the frame — another good hold of -45%. Internationally, the monsters are at $337.7M for $519.3M worldwide through Sunday.

    New this session was Japan, home to Godzilla and distributed by Toho there. GxK came in No. 2 behind the second frame of local title Detective Conan: The Million-Dollar Pentagram. Results are ahead of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (+7%), Dune (+85%) and Dune: Part Two (91%).

    Also from Universal, The Fall Guy kicked off early overseas as we head into the May 1 holiday and before its domestic debut. I was lucky to be in Spain, one of the two majors where it released this session, and a Saturday afternoon crowd clapped and stayed for the credits. As noted above, the weekend was good for $8.7M in 38 markets and is coming in above The Lost City and just off Bullet Train in the same markets and excluding previews.

    Australia was a No. 1 opening with $2.9M across 132 screens, above Bullet Train and The Lost City. The release capitalized on Thursday’s Anzac Day holiday, and 40% of schools are also on holiday this week. Here is Spain, a $1M opening was a clear No. 1 and above The Lost City and Mad Max: Fury Road. In the Netherlands there was also a No. 1 start.

     

    Israel, releasing into Passover, saw Thursday deliver the biggest opening day of 2024 with $400K which marks the best non-animated opening weekend of 2024 (excluding previews). The start is above John Wick: Chapter 4 and The Lost City, and more than double Bullet Train.

    Other No. 1s include Ukraine, Belgium, Sweden, Finland and Norway.

    The Top 5 so far are: Australia ($2.9M), Spain ($1M), Netherlands ($556K), New Zealand ($435K) and Hong Kong ($381K).

    There are many markets to come next weekend including Germany, France, Korea, Italy, Brazil, Mexico and the UK. China goes on May 17 and Japan on August 16
