MI7 Moved up 4 days. Original date: 12 July New date: 8 July (Saturday)

Release date moved up 4 days here in Indonesia. Original date: 12 July (Wednesday, traditional release day for import film) New date: 8 July (Saturday, not just previews but full opening day) Probably the first time ever for a tent pole to opening on Saturday here. TOM CRUISEEEE HIS POWAHHH

The only thing that makes me sad from these reactions: there’s no love for my Rebecca Ferguson’s Ilsa

Nah. Early screening reviews are highly positive and if the movie lives up to it then pre-sales number doesn’t really matter. As we all know, MI is a naturally backloaded franchise. Presales aren everything and there’s no fanboy rush like CBM. The most important thing is it’s a great movie. Walk up and legs will be amazing. People will come over to watch it again

Indy looks quite popular in Japan. Never know this

When you realized that none of MI movies broke a billion.... Also only 1 James bond movie broke it.... And both are the best action franchises ever exist in cinema history... Sad noise.

Of course it were. Cause there ain't no screening and ain't no people attending last night

June July and March are so crowded. Expecting many changes of date for that months. Since many more likely to move out due to Writer’s strike, I’ll just make my prediction later near the end of the year.

Detective Conan has been experiencing massive growth in Japan ever since 2016. Before that all the series seems to had ceiling at ¥3-4Bn. Any particular reason why for the sudden growth?

Indeed Indonesia is an Islamic country but with no Islamic laws (only one province use it). Indonesia uses regular laws like other non Muslim countries. Therefore any kind of entertainment is free and not restricted unless it contains LGBT or some other violence stuff. The main reason for the low cinema counts is the low income of Indonesian people. Many cinemas located only in big cities where middle or upper income people live. In the rural areas, cinemas is scarce. Many people still don’t choose cinema as their source of entertainment cause it’s not cheap. But these days, Indonesia economy is growing rapidly and so does our box office (from MPAA report). So yeah cinemas future is looking bright and a number of cinemas is being built right now. So hopefully sometimes we can have decent numbers of it in comparison to our populations.

Same in Indonesia. Whenever the new blockbuster releases, the old one loses more than half of its showtimes. Guaranteed to drop in 60% area. The only thing that can make the drop softer is if the new blockbusters flop and can’t fill their showtimes then the old one will get some back therefore softening its drop. Cinema infrastructure is the problem here. A country about 250 million people but only have around 400 theatres with maximum around 7000 showtimes. So yeah, can’t meet the screen demands of blockbusters releasing every week.

The good ol days of BOT. Every weekend thread almost always reached thousands of posts. Even for a boring opening one. But everything changed since the pandemic…

Looking at the demo split, women clearly not show up for this movie probably cause Ezra controversy. Now Aquaman has Amber Heard who is even more controversial than Ezra. I wonder which demo will show up?! 🤔 Probably none.

DC and Star Wars. 2 recipes for creating the most chaotic weekend thread.

RIP all Hollywood films. It would be a bloodbath for screens.

How many local films will be released next week for dragon boat festival timeframe?

Kevin Feige tricked WB execs into thinking they got an all timer DC Movie which pushed them to market it as such only to backfired later and create mayhem in WB office.

Any OW predictions for ATSV and Flash here in $?

I blame the fandom. Civil War all the times. DC Fans vs Snyder bro. How can DCEU be successful when the fandom itself always on constant war and hating DC products out there 💀💀

Back to back Billies for the finales of Mission Impossible? LETSSSS GOOOO. Bond has gotten it. Now it’s Ethan time.

The authority said that the movie “contradicts the content controls in force,” and added that unless parts of the movie’s scenes were amended, it would not play in theaters locally. “Out of our keenness on the safety of the content shown in cinemas, and our responsibility towards the viewers, we would like to point out that we will not permit or license any film that contradicts the content controls in force in the media system… and its implementing regulations, unless the production companies commit to implementing the required amendments,” the social media statement said. https://english.alarabiya.net/News/saudi-arabia/2023/06/14/-Spider-Man-Across-the-Spider-Verse-won-t-be-released-in-Saudi-Arabia-cinemas @keysersoze123 Found this another article that stated the reasons. Don’t quite understand sadly whatever that means…

DCEU is cursed for real. Out of 12 movies so far (before Flash). Only 3 movies managed to become super hits: Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Suicide Squad. MOS was a success but not a *big* success. Same goes to BvS which was a disappointment relative to expectations both financially and critically. Shazam was doing great and financially successful but not a big hit. JL flopped and so did the last 5 DCEU films in a row (BOP, WW84,TSS,BA and Shazam 2). With Flash looking to disappoint also, Blue Beetle looking more like a miss than hit and Aquaman 2 looking not too bright. Meanwhile 2 standalone DC movies that wasn’t part of the DCEU (The Batman and Joker) had a great success both critically and financially. So I think it’s a Great Idea for WB to dump DCEU and begin a new start through DCU and hopefully making many more stand-alone DC movies again in the future.

Avengers and Star Wars on the same month?!!!!

We might never know cause it never will... 3 days left and it needs to take off asap. It should be doing that when the reviews dropped but never did until now. Slim chance it would accelerate drastically against other comps in these last days. Maybe today is the day cause the premiere bump. But who knows...

We all know that majority of the audiences saw Transformers for the action spectacles not for cringe human drama
