    Someone should do a 2008 or 1998 revisiting list when this is concluded.  Kind of early to be thinking about this, but I think it'd be fun (plus I want to genuinely participate in it this time instead of not giving a shit and just piling a list together at the last minute)

     

    The only downside is that Nolan released a film in both years.

     

    I'm sure something would be able to beat that one really small debut feature from 1998. Like, maybe Saving Private Ryan or The Truman Show.

    Weekend Thread | Avengers 2nd Weekend - 114.774 only a 21.5% drop on Sunday

    in Numbers and Data

    Posted

    Here's what I think about this weekend.

     

    Avengers: Infinity War is doing phenomenally, to no one's surprise. Once again, we have a profitable blockbuster that isn't worth repeating things that have already been expressed in words about such a record-breaking. Though I am overjoyed for all of the excellent actors whose careers are getting sustained because of this film.

     

    Overboard did more than I expected in a fairly small wide release. Eugenio Derbez clearly has a fanbase that is willing to support him.

     

    It's a pleasure to see A Quiet Place sustaining itself in its fifth week. Whoever planned its release schedule deserves a raise, because this excellent film basically has the horror market all to itself until Hereditary. I can't wait to keep examining how well it continues to hold.

     

    I Feel Pretty is doing... okay, for what it is. Being able to hold its place at the top in the wake of two new comedies is a positive sign for engagement, and I'm sure it'll have a small Mother's Day boost next week -- I'm sure that not all of the people seeing movies on Mother's Day want to see Life of the Party.

     

    For Rampage, this dry period until Deadpool 2 and Solo has proven to be a fairly beneficial for the film's longevity. $100M seems to still be on the table, especially if it's still in the top five during fourth week.

     

    I feel like Focus Features made the right choice releasing Tully semi-wide instead of vying in the platform market. It's a shame that it's not doing as well as it could be but the smaller amount of theaters is a relief. And the film still has Mother's Day. I still think it's a shame that this debuted softly. Reitman just can't catch a break, can he?

     

    Meanwhile, Black Panther is still holding incredibly well after its rereleasing into more theaters. This is its 12th weekend... crazy!

     

    And I really don't understand how Truth or Dare hasn't fallen out of the top ten yet. Again, it was incredibly cheap to make, so everything it makes now is icing on the cake.

     

    Super Troopers 2 is still a success stort, and it can undoubtedly still obtain the small amount needed to have its budget doubled in America alone. I'm really happy for them and their fans!

     

    Bad Samaritan is lucky to be in the top ten. Despite that, its debut is one of the worst wide openings in history. This is what happens when nobody knows that a film is even out. It's a shame because it's not like this film was truly awful or anything. It's exciting that Electric Entertainment is giving wide release a shot (they also distributed a similarly under-advertised film, LBJ (an Oscar-bait biopic starring Woody Harrelson), in over 600 theaters last year), but they still have some learning to do in the advertising department if they don't want to go bankrupt before they can make any sort of palpable impact.

     

    It'd be a blessing if Isle of Dogs was able to at least surpass Rushmore's adjusted gross so it could assuredly become on of Anderson's highest grossers. Though the most necessary thing, grossing over Fantastic Mr. Fox so that another stop-motion can be made, has already been achieved - any more success is icing on the cake. I'm sure the film will continue to hold well in the weeks to come.

     

    It seems like the documentary RBG has debuted fantastically in its amount of theaters (34). It's already announced to be coming to my town's historical theater where they play one art film per week. This is definitely a win for Magnolia pictures.

     

    I'm still holding out hope that A Wrinkle in Time can somehow still leg its way to $100M, but it's like over $4M away and theaters have dwindled. Talk about getting tackled just before the touchdown.

     

    I have a prediction. I'm willing to bet that the distributor Bleecker Street will try to give Disobedience more theaters. That's a fairly strong hold it just had, Bleecker Street is craxy enough to try it, they played the trailer in front of Unsane and Beirut, and for the next few weeks, the wide release slate is sort of dry. The film could definitely benefit from a bold release in more theaters, even if it's a release that isn't quite wide. In fact, if they released Captain Fantastic in a few more theaters than expected, they might give this one a try. So what I'm saying is, be prepared to come across Disobedience in the list of films playing in your town theaters in about two to four weeks.

     

    Well, I think this would've been a weaker weekend than most if it weren't for Avengers. Most older releases are slowly running out of steam and the most of the newer ones didn't make much of an impact -- and in my opinion, their misfortune is undeserved and disappointing.

    UNDWT is a monster movie

    It might've been more interesting if they were against the water itself rather than a monster. Now, it sounds a little too much like Deep Blue Sea.

     

    I'm rooting for this, though, because I think Kristen Stewart is a great actress and, as of late, she's been very picky (in a good way) about the projects she chooses to star in.

    Unsane seems kind of interesting to me, so if I see it when it comes out on Redbox, and if I'm impressed by it, I can help vote for it at the Boffies for sure! So maybe Joshua Leonard might be able to get a Boffy nomination!

    Pretty much only watching darlin in the franxxx right now, what am I missing?

     

    No hero acad please

     

    Of the new shows of the season, you should consider trying these unique selections:

     

    Golden Kamuy

    Hinamatsuri

    Megalo Box

     

    Ans if you've never seen Mob Psycho 100, that's essential viewing in my opinion and it's already been confirmed to have a second season in the works.
