You’re too hyperbolic. Ain’t no way Moana 2 makes 800M+ dom even with far better reception (IO2 with similar reception to Moana OG couldn’t do it the middle of summer) and ain’t no way the quality of Moana 2 will damage the franchise in the long run. You’re talking like Moana is the best animation of all time and Moana 2 the worst similar to Joker 2. Besides Moana is a family movie and quality isn’t the first thing comes to mind to that type of movies. A- CS and excellent post track score also nowhere indicating that this gets Joker 2, BvS and The Marvels reception.

Regional Election Day which made it basically public holiday for whole country on Wednesday. But Still absolutely gigantic

Would be super extremely rare occasions when China has better movie taste than USA.

Anyway I enjoy the movie very much. Love how it brings back the ‘trapped with Alien’ vibes and plot elements like space horror games Dead Space. I Love it!!!!!! Old School Aliens Franchise at its finest

After he was given a new directive, I thought Andy gonna sacrifice himself for Rain to kill the filthy alien at the end. Scenes like Andy saying emotionally to Rain “I do what’s best for us” before blowing or ejecting himself up (or whatever) with the filthy alien while the tearjerker music playing the background. The emotional stakes would be off the chart. Kinda bummed that he only got one slap in the cheek and went 404 error network like washed Safari without doing anything heroic. And that alien face was so sus and filthy. I thought he was horny when he smiled creepily like that towards Kay and gonna do something “18+ NSFW but not gore type NSFW” to her. Turns out it didn’t. (Or maybe it did off screen, not quite clear just saw him sucking something out of her from back POV).

This IO2's quest on defeating TLK reminds me so much to Aladdin, TS4 and Dory's run to breach billion mark. Looks very difficult on first glance during first weeks then those strong holds and softer drops came alongside late clutch market that opened later. It all made it possible for them to complete the mission quote comfortably (not just by nailbiting single digit million gap). Certainly will be the same with IO2 with it not only will surpass TLK but also has a clear shot at JW.

First time in forever he looked alive during movies promotion. My confidence in this movie rise dramatically all of a sudden . Genuinely curious what kind/type of movie that he had fun with.

Just saw it!!!! And OMG What a movie. 100x better than MoM and 100% won’t get MoM reception. Getting a GotG vibes here which is the best vibes of the MCU. Will watch it again on Sat.

Up to 81% on RT with 144 reviews. Looking goodddd. Up and up Wolvie.

Any updates to the admission/box office numbers so far or for whole opening weekend?

Indonesia, Audience reviews seems solid. There ain't nothing indicates mixed reception here. People digging the characters, humors and cameos. Actions also been praised. Not many mentions about the story cause it's mid. Then again, we're not a critical country. People just went to theatres to have fun and it delivers enough to satisfy the audience . Seems solid MCU outing. Better than MoM definitely from early ratings.

D&W will premiere here tomorrow with show as early as 10.30 AM. About 15 hours from now. Unfortunately I won’t see it for another 44 hours.

Wonder who’s the earliest to see this movie at regular screening here at the forum…We need them to make actual reviews ASAP. I trust this actual opinions from BoT members more than this so called critics and influencer to gauge how the Audience reception would be,

Good news is SK is a WOM market. Bad presales aren’t the end of everything. Just need that good quality to delivers sweet WOM and those sexy legs will come up. I’m fairly confident that D&W won’t disappoint quality wise.

Argentina played the opening game of Copa America yesterday at 9 PM. Everyone definitely watched it so I reckon shows after 7pm must be quite dead. Next game is on next Tuesday at 10 PM and next Saturday at 9 PM. Expect the numbers to be depressed again.
