Why would John Cena even do movies? He should stick to radio. I like to be able to see actors in their movies. It is a visual medium after all. smh

It seems obvious to move Solo to December....
BUT
If they were going to do that, why hasn't it been announced yet? Even 9 has already been moved and it comes out 19 months after Solo. I think they're using Solo as a test. They're banking on the name and seeing how it plays in May. In the end I believe the goal is to have a Memorial Weekend SW movie and a Christmas Holiday SW movie.
3Pretty sure they waited a few weeks after TFA to move RO back to December for "production reasons". Not sure the exact timeline, but it was after TFA opening weekend for sure.
-
Assuming it doesn't move to December, Disney could just be planning to attach a Solo trailer in a month to get more people to see it again for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th... time.
-
Yeah, it's not like they'd have a MCU trailer in front of MCU movie. Oh, wait...
-
What I can't figure out, is why there wasn't a Solo trailer attached to TLJ. IW is there, why not Solo? Probably cause they're pushing it December.

Watching AOTC on TNT is making me realize how much I need a McGregor Kenobi spin-off ASAP. I’d take it over Solo any day.
Me too, a young Yoda one would be killer as well. I'm hoping the new trilogy is about Yoda or even better, The Old Republic times.

As much as I love Star Wars, I still don't feel like Solo will make over 400. I hope I'm wrong and it turns out to be a great movie.

Disney needs to move Han Solo to Christmas. They just need to make this an official Christmas tradition and be done with it.
If they don't, I'll eat a hat of your choosing.

No way this beats TFA's first Saturday. I won't even set up my expectations that high only to end up disappointed.
I will then! 70, here we come! 😂

Even in the franchise, replaying the same role context, it is hard to see any boost of Robin Williams last big roles in a big movie and he was a specially loved figure:

For example, it helps that the movie is actually popular or even good. Being one of the main stars, instead of supporting character helps too.

Well dang, I admit it. I expected a 25% drop from TFA for TLJ OW and DOM.
That's the typical drop for a sequel to a megahit.
I'm going to say three factors probably gave TLJ a nice bump.
1) LucasFilm's confidence in the director. Announcing he'll do the next trilogy.
2) The controversy of the lopsided RT ratings and pissed off fanboys. This had to make people very curious.
3) Very positive WOM from casuals.
Forgot about Carrie Fisher's death. That always seems to boost a movie's gross. As good as The Dark Knight was, Ledger's death was a huge contributing factor in it's run. Same with Furious 7. I still think that this has a strong chance to have amazing legs and pass TFA because of that alone. It helps that TLJ is a better movie too.

Not saying it's comedic gold (although pretty much all of Hemsworth's and most of McKinnon's stuff is), but it was enjoyable and this decade has a pretty weak offering of comedies.
True. Only comedies I was willing to see in the theater were Ted and Ted 2. Not counting superhero movies like Deadpool, GotG and Thor.

The production on this thread has been very lazy. It’s just going round in circles with numerous red herrings that go nowhere.
I have no idea what you're talking about.

Hey guys, I have this crazy theory. What if... What if making movies was an art form? I know, lock me away and throw away the key! But think about it! You can teach someone how to do it, but that doesn't mean they have the gift. Even if they have said gift, it doesn't mean that they will target it towards a audience that cares or has the numbers to matter.
Maybe you're right. Take me away boys. I'm coo coo for cocoa puffs.

This thread can be simplified as this:
Popular ≠ Good
Especially when kids are involved. They have horrible taste in everything. I should know, I use to think The Pest with John Leguizamo was one of the best movies ever and that parachute pants were amazing.

Fantastic Beasts was an incredibly shitty movie and maybe one of the worst, most boring blockbusters of all time watching Eddie hanging his mouth open all movie long collecting a paycheck. It dropped like a rock because it sucked so badly. There. Someone has now said something about FB. Happy?
I thought it was amazing. Way better than the Harry Potter movies.

I don't see how it doesn't hit 800 at this point. I'm really only hoping for 900m so I'm in another winning club

Worldwide, Thor 3 is tracking close with GotG2 after the third weekend. GotG2 was at around 732M and Thor is around 739M.
66% of Thor's WW is from overseas currently. GotG2's WW total had about 55% OS.
Can these numbers be used to extrapolate Thor's final WW gross? Staggered releases around the world seem to make it difficult.
I'm thinking that 850-860M is where it's heading based on that. But, if Thor keeps its 33%DOM/66%OS ratio and it hits 300M DOM, 900M WW has a very slim shot still. Probably not the right way to think about it, but that's all I've got at the moment

Funny that all of you are talking about Valerian. Finally got around watching it last night. While I didn't like Valerian himself, bad acting, the story was great. Would love to see more movies in that universe.
The movie needed better and more well-known actors. The average movie goer doesn't care about unknown stories with unknown actors these days.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't GotG2 been underestimated every weekend so far? Sundays especially. Having it so close, at 36 vs 35 million, isn't there a small chance of GotG2 stealing first place with actuals?
Edit: I see it's already been mentioned.

I'm a huge fan of the movies, even prequels, the old extended universe, video games (literally played them all) and I loved every second of it. Some people just have different tastes, nothing to do with not respecting the source material.
