lol I remember many expected somewhere around $160M for GOTG2. A sign DL feel hurt by $116M opening.

Mario need $585.6M lifetime to hit 4.0× opening weekend.

I can't wait for seeing FX lost all those profits Uni had made from 7/8/9. And they're probably gonna lose 1/2/3/4/5/6 on Fast XI.

OW is clear. The question is legs. Will these good reactions turn into better holds? Even BPWF drop 60% on its second weekend with A grade.

I think the poster problem is caused by the desire that Uni marketing team try as hard as they could to make it look big(ger). Honestly, all they need to do is showing more actors/stars...Then let us make funny posters.

Biggest WED performance? I think DS previously held the record with ~￥570M

China will secure a release plan. MI7 will be one of the very few HLW titles doing big in here. I can't tell how big, but nothing else looks bigger than this one. And by the way, Barbie & Oppenheimer could miss release plans here considering WB & Uni never released any trailer through its social media accounts (A sign they gave it up). It means the only competitions MI7 may face during summer are local blockbusters.

it's going to be avatar 3 streaming version with 9 hours runtime.

Yes, I really think MI7 could somehow survive from them just like how TGM did as long as the film is really that great like those test reactions. Not trying to underestimate Barbie & Oppenheimer, but I can hardly imagine they are going to be bigger than those titles in last summer combined. Actually, I expect all of them will have very very long runnings and give one of the most crazy summer businesses ever.

This movie is not a TOP choice. If this one has rave reviews while other major titles in June flop, it might perform fine.

possibility for The Little Mermaid to hit $100M opening if WOM is good?

Mario vs Frozen II 1st - 375.6M vs 350.2M 2nd - 693.1M vs 738.6M 3rd - 871.8M vs 919.7M 4th - ? vs 1,032.5M 5th - ? vs 1,103.7M 6th - ? vs 1,218M 7th - ? vs 1,325M 8th - ? vs 1,371M 9th - ? vs 1,401M 10th - ? vs 1,430M

$1.3 billion is pretty much locked? DOM: $600M+ JPN & KOR: $75M+ OS: $625M+

I was already shocked they moved FX so quick. I mean, F9 definitely underperformed even though COVID was a factor. And there is no good idea on story or action or anything for this one and the 11th movie. But they still believe audience want more?

They will make a Chinese version reboot.

China & Korea perform more like Japan in recent days.

DL says the participations are about $280M. FYI, Avengers: Endgame only had $175M participations. Tom Cruise:

Bottom line - Incredibles 2 Target: Avatar - The Way of Water Ultimate goal - Top Gun: Maverick

So what does WW look like? $1.1B-plus?
