$100M for every week. No more, no less.

all the info these days tell me this is going to T2 level epic.

I'm not so surprised by recent box office performances. China already prove that pandemic have destroy the habits of moviegoing. People will always go back to cinema, but they would only watch something they believe necessary. In pre-pandemic period, audience had a mood to go cinema even no specific movie they expect in the list. And some titles (even garbage one) benefited from that. Now, the circumstance is gone. Nobody want to stick in public places like cinemas for no reason. Studios have to prove their goods are something worth audience's time and money to give.

nope. Too many Chinese elements.

Minions 2 OW > a Pixar movie's total

Beyond race, age and everything, the most spirited experience will come to us.

Again, 2022 is another 2015 DS = AOU TGM = JW Minions 2 = Minions Avatar 2 = TFA

Conan movie 2022 down?

hope the summer will help it to top $100M.

I bet TGM win the weekend, and WB probably has talked with Par on this for getting some warm presses.

Wait, LY is going to drop 60% this weekend? Horrible hold for an animated movie.

First of all, it's a comedy that people outside USA could get and enjoy. I saw the movie in HK in 2019 and suggested someone should take or invest the movie because it definitely would make Chinese audience laugh so hard, even if it don't have Oscar. People could sense two persons with totally different characters in the same journey would bring unexpected surprises. Local blockbuster Lost in Thailand is the case. Secondly, it's a movie telling a story about a relationship that excels classes. The filmmaker may not care about the theme, but for China and maybe most countries in Asia, it somehow shows something ideal and pure. Audience enjoy to see how people from different class become friends/lovers or get any relationship. It's something you can hardly find in reality. The french movie The Intouchables is something similar - comedy with touching relations. For us, it's more powerful than what Hollywood blockbusters these days do while they believe they do really great in terms of emphasizing equality / diversity / representativeness.

Best audience score for Hollywood movies (original release) on naver since 2012 the site stated to have the data TGM - 9.58 Green Book - 9.55 Avengers: Endgame - 9.50 Bohemian Rhapsody - 9.45 Wonder - 9.43 A Dog's Purpose - 9.42 Aladdin - 9.42 Hidden Figures - 9.37 Zootopia - 9.33 Miss Sloane - 9.32 The Two Popes - 9.32 Ford v Ferrari - 9.31 The Greatest Showman - 9.31

if it flop?

If LY can underperform, why not Elvis

4* multiple confirmed by DL.

A- CS. Just like Onward and Cars 2.

Lightyear may not win the weekend?

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Flies By $800M Worldwide; Becomes Tom Cruise’s Biggest Movie Ever

Young Andy had a bad taste confirmed. Hope he didn't put on a suit with nipple after watching later Batman movie in his adolescence.

Best acting performance in their career.

Oh god, I suddenly realize how much sadness this thread have after reading all these posts... Variety says $200M budget for this movie. And it may not hit the break-even point from the perspective of traditional business model unless US could exceeded expectations. And I believe it would be very hard for Pixar creative team. They finally get a theatrical thing, but the movie is not received well. And those folks in Disney leadership can put more great Pixar titles on streaming with confidence. I don't know whether it is just bad luck for Pixar or something Disney executives were scheming carefully, because all Pixar movies except mediocre one were sent to streaming in pandemic.
