    Well if it's was up to me I wouldn't eat much from the theater either, but with a swarm of little monsters, most times we had no choice :sadno:

    I get by with 2 large popcorns...of which I eat none of...but when I was a kid, my parents bought it for me, too, and I loved it, so I'm not gonna deny my kids - I'm just gonna find really cheap tickets and theaters which give you one free refill (so when the boys finish their bucket, they can have another one with no more money out of my pocket:)...

    Those without Kids doesn't know the half.

    I can't really agree with this.

     

    The problem isn't tentpole scheduling, so much, it's just that the vast majority of the movies haven't been appealing. Keeping Alien in August might have had it do slightly better, but it wouldn't have turned it into Suicide Squad. Or even half of Suicide Squad.

     

    And it's not as if it was facing some hefty competition in May. So far this summer, we've had two films do about what's expected of them (GotG2, Spidey), 1 film do sub-par but still respectable numbers (DM3), two films do quite a bit better than expected (WW, 47md), and basically a bunch of stuff that's done numbers ranging from disappointing to atrocious.

     

    Anything that's slotted into that lineup that's even halfway appealing should have done well. Alien, regardless of reviews, wasn't appealing. The early OS release allowed the word to get out that it was in line with Prometheus, which didn't help, but WOM wasn't going to take off regardless of release date.

     

    And actually, late summer doesn't look so bad. We've got Apes, Dunkirk, Girl's Trip, Atomic Blonde, The Dark Tower, Detroit, Annabelle, The Hitman's Bodyguard, and Logan Lucky coming out over the next month or so. While I don't expect all of them to do great, it's looking like a stronger overall lineup we've had for a month period earlier in the season. 

     

    If there's one film that might have benefitted from a release date change, it's probably Valerian. Though I honestly don't know if it would make a big difference. It still wouldn't get IMAX.

    Imo,Going to the movies have become extremely expensive 

    $12.50 Pizza for one

    $10.00 large popcorn 

    $7.00 small drink 

    $4.50 for candy (A Dollar at the store).

    Just for one Person to enjoy a visit To the movies $10.50 for a ticket and most likely  $17.00 on a meal for him/her.

    So about $27.00 for a single Person can you imagine a family of 3-4?

    The  theater here is connected to the mall and will allow you to bring things out of the food court .

    It might, I just put numbers it would do by holding about the same as Ant-Man the rest of the week. The Cheap Tuesday bump is slightly higher than Ant-Man, but Cheap Tuesdays are also pretty much supercharged now compared to 2015. If only AMC theaters joins the bandwagon, Cheap Tuesday will pretty much be bigger than any day of the second weekend @Boner Omega

    I just hope it holds above 50mil,If it doesn't some here may need therapy.

    Tracking close to Ant-Man again with the benefit of bigger Tuesday bumps compared to 2015. Ant-Man bumped roughly 23%, SMH will bump 24.5%. Ant-Man increases and decreases look most likely for the rest of this week for sure. Just following AM would give SMH

     

    Tuesday: 15.2M

    Wednesday: 10M (-34.5%)

    Thursday: 9.2M (-8%)

    Friday: 14.4M (+55%)

    Saturday: 20.2M (+40%)

    Sunday: 15.8M (-22%) for a 51M weekend.

     

    I think it's gonna hold a little better than we all believe.

    I agree with your assessment but I'm afraid to say that for fear of looking like a hater or an overreactor or something.

     

    People continue to say The Dark Knight dropped 29% but the Dark Knight also dropped 8% from Saturday to Sunday. Usually movies that have Hefty Friday to Saturday drops stabilized and have really tiny drops on Sunday and Homecoming's drop-off merely okay. I know the conversation is going to change when the movie gets it's normal Tuesday bump and people forget that every movie gets that but right now and I haven't seen anything that is super impressive about it's run.

     

    I remember when people were claiming that Logan was going to have really long legs because it had great reviews.

    I believe many take this Rotten tomatoes thing a lil too far sometimes.

    its like every Comic book film with a 80% or better many expect it to have a 3+x or something.

    I think films with lower opening weekends can't be compared to films that have much bigger openings.

    It so easy for a film that opens to 50mil to gain a 3x than it is for one that opens to 100 mil or better.

    It's Spider-Man, the wom is massively positive and Spider-Man is arguably one of the most popular characters ever, even more so among kids. The school is out and its summer. It's a perfect date film just like WW. I'm banking very much on Spidey actually starting to have weekend drops softer than WW by its third weekend. 

    I think we should stop looking for popularity to equal  Boxoffice .

    I didn't see that Fri-sat drop coming all because for a moment I believe Spider-Man with Ironman would Plus 94% will see something along the lines of 130+ and defy all odds.

    I remember Marvel movie before Marvel Studios.

     

    Every other movie was rotten and/or a flop.

     

    Just because Marvel Studios makes it look easy doesn't mean it is.

     

    How many studios can make four superhero movies in a row with over 80% on Rotten Tomatoes and over 500 m WW.

     

    None.

     

    How many cinematic universes is worth billions and are a critic favorite.

     

    None.

     

    Give credit where credit is due. Marvel Studios are trail blazers. One of the biggest success stories in Hollywood history.

     

    Sony, Paramount, Fox... they can't match this tiny sub-studio's annual revenue.

    Maybe you should take your own advice.

    Kevin Feige has been steering the ship since Iron Man. Disney never took away creative control from Marvel Studios.

     

    Disney was cranking out "smash hits" like Lone Ranger and John Carter before they had MCU and Star Wars.

    If you truly believe Disney Brought Marvel and didn't lay out a plan for that division then you are truly delusional.

    Lone ranger and John cater was there at the same time as The MCU.
