These tracking numbers are awful. What's the excuse if this one flops too? Yet another 1B movie whose sequel is about to implode.
Dead universe's death rattle ~

Why do their photos look so computer generated here? His specially looks like a drawing of what a hot man is supposed to be.

I'd bet on 22M/100M myself if I were a betting man, considering the tracking thread right now.
Still, I think it still has hopes of coming close to 30M/135M as it's early in the pre-sales cycle...
Either way, 4.5x legs, book it.

I wonder if Joker 2 will be the highest grossing CBM of 2024?
It will definitely be an R-rated one, I can tell you that much.

Deadpool’s humor is very juvenile and even the politically incorrect stuff mostly feels like what a 13-year-old thinks is politically incorrect, although Ryan somehow makes it feel like a feature rather than something bad.
Unless that kind of juvenile humor just doesn’t work for you, then it’ll always just be bad. It’s obviously very popular though.

Could be my delusional history fan nerd soul talking, but between Oppenheimer beeing a massive hit, KOTFM doing quite respectable numbers and now Napoleon looking like a potential small breakout - maybe people are gaining interest again in historical movies/epics like in the early 2000s?
I for one would welcome that development.
I am not sure if we can really be sure of that with such a small sample size, but if true that would be great news for Gladiator 2... That might be big, really big.

I expected Wish to be one of the bright spots of Disney's 2023 calendar. The reviews totally caught me by surprise. In retrospect, The Little Mermaid's $570m WW doesn't look bad now considering all the negativity that movie had to face.
TLM got 300M domestically, that really helps it, it definitely didn't lose money at least, and in the long run it's going to make a good sum of cash overall.
Hopefully this one can do around Elemental numbers at least. And as a side note, my little kid really enjoys many of its songs.

According to DC's head of PR it is not in the DCU but the character is. I have trouble believing him.
It mentions the DCEU events and heroes multiple times.
I believe what they meant is that the character will be in the new DCEU created by Gunn, but not the movie itself. It's a bit odd.
The movie is definitely in the old DCEU.

Interestingly, RBTI is also a movie that relies on a lot of refs and is the only other comparable score on Letter for modern WDAS. So maybe audiences in general really hate that sort of thing from Disney? Leave it to Shrek and the Minions I guess?
I was actually drawing a similar parallel in my mind. I guess many people dislike it when it just feels self-congratulatory and isn't actually poking fun at the references.

This sums up my feelings rather well:
If one prefers the idea that Filoni is in fact like Lucas when it comes to being better at an Idea Man than a Executor of Ideas, there's also this take:
Can see this dynamic with the recent The Bad Batch where he's responsible for the 30,000 foot level of things but has others actually do the show itself. And while it might not have reached the critical reception of, say, TCW it does seem to have hit its stride.
More to the point, fans have been screaming for a "Kevin Feige" analogue for years now, and this is the most natural candidate.
Doesn't mean he's gonna be perfect.
Doesn't mean he's gonna be a savior.
Does mean that SW is gonna get something that folks have been pounding the table for almost half a decade now: Someone singularly in charge of the overall creative direction of the franchise.
And at the 30,000 foot level I'll take Filoni's track record, thank you very much.
I'm pretty happy with this myself.
Let's see now if they can get any movies off the ground.

Polls have repeatedly shown that far more Americans sided with Depp than Heard. Downplaying Heard in the marketing is a sound and sensible decision. Heard defenders only exist in social media bubbles.
Really? How interesting. I don't actually know who most people over here(not American) who care about it at all sided with, but I do know that the people I'm close with mostly think both of them suck and/or lean more towards Heard than Depp.

Not a bad choice at all, but I hope he isn't even close to being the main villain in this movie, I wanna see other superman villains explored more.

Not a single shot of Amber in the new trailer. The love between Aquaman and Mera was a big selling point and one of the more positive aspects of the film...the fact that there is no new love interest will be an issue.
But damn not one shot of Heard. I wonder if she is even invited to the movie premiere.
I've noticed the exact same, there's literally only that one shot of her from the first trailer in all of the promotional material. They really left the romance aside and decided to focus only on the bromance.
I don't think it makes financial sense, so I wonder how toxic that workplace was for them to decide to just ditch the romance like this, which really was one of the selling points of the first movie, especially to the ladies.

Dont worry guys, rumored Sue actress Vanessa Kirby always picks quality movies to star in like Mission Impossible, Jupiter Ascending, and Hobbs and Shaw.
All movies I enjoyed, so that’s cool.

Nothing wrong with Reddit, I read it myself, but quoting Reddit posts in here, with Reddit style name tags and everything, is really weird.

.No Every superhero movie will not bomb. People are not collectively saying no to Superhero movies. They are saying no to mediocre and bad ones with characters they don't care about. The two good ones this year Guardians 3 and ASTV were hits. The rest not so much. Get the quality up and they will be fine.
They do need to have something that stands out these days I feel. I thought Blue Beetle for example was a very well made origin story with a lot of heart that would have probably done Ant-Man 1 numbers 5 years ago, but that just didn’t stand out, so people ignored it a bit.
I agree with the general idea though, quality is king.

Feel like this will be Sherlock Holmes 3 where people will keep saying it will happen eventually, but it never actually does.
You’ve just made me doubly sad, thanks

John Rocha called F4 a “prestigious” project. Sometimes comic book fans come off a bit out of touch…
Any big fan of anything can sound a bit out of touch when talking about that which they love to be honest.

I am not even laughing, this is just sad. I would laugh at the occasional flop, but not when literally everything bombs.
Oh I completely agree, it really wasn’t directed at you, I know you go watch everything and can appreciate the artistic value of most of it.
I was honestly just agreeing with your general sad vibe as of late, I think for once you aren’t being overdramatic, sadly.

We are flopping left and right.
It's cute (in the worst possible sense of that word) to see some people who love cinema (I assume anyone crazy enough to sign up on this obscure corner of the internet loves cinema) laughing at everything flopping and saying stuff like "hah, I hope Hollywood learns a lesson", when I'm pretty sure that:
a. The lesson Hollywood will learn from this is certainly going to be wildly different from the one the person saying it wants. (spoiler alert: they'll double down on nostalgia)
b. Movie theaters have just endured a horrible couple of years due to COVID and they already know they'll endure a pretty bad 2024 because of reshuffling due to the strikes, and then they see their best season of the year(Thanksgiving to Christmas) going up in smokes before their eyes and they must already be calling their accountants to ask whether they can even survive the next year.
But yeah, let's laugh, that'll teach 'em

I’m confused, why are we acting surprised? I feel like everyone here has already accepted a number around 30-40M OW for this.

What are the odds that we have not one, not two, not three, but 4 superheroes movie under $100M DOM
Not sure about the odds, but OW would need to be under 22M for that to happen imho, so keep an eye on this thread for the next weeks to find out I guess
Thanksgiving 5-days Weekend thread | BOSS: 42.2m, Napoleon: 32.75m, Wish: 31.6m, Trolls: 25.6m, Thanksgiving: 10.9m

Yeah, I feel like mixed WOM is gonna hit it pretty soon, while I feel almost the opposite for Wish; Less rush because of meh reviews, but WOM is going to be good enough to give it some legs.
Let's see how wrong I am.
