Harry Potter is over, it's time to let that shit go
Harry Potter will never be over. It will always deliver a warm and cosy place near the fire in the Griffyndor common room for people in need to escape to another world for a couple of hours.
You can't compete with that, just like the Hobbit couldn't compete with The Lord of the rings. When the best story out of a universe is already told, second best will never feel satisfying and that's why those movies fail in the end and as the story goes on. .

The thing is: We now pretty much know what's coming numbers wise. The big surprises are missing. Excited and tired midnight screening reports are missing.
Knowlege and information is everywhere nowadays and while it is great on one side, it also took a bunch of wonder from the world.

So while TLC might still do $100m, so far it's not looking to have one of those very special WOM-runs.
I was hoping for a huge comeback of the genre, but it looks like it's not quite the movie tht might make studios considering reacturing it from Netflix.
I just watched "The Royal Treatment" and gosh, it was quite awful tbh. Quality of those movies already seems to be dropping. Last years "He's all that" was just as horrible with a abysmal script and actors.

Still 100% after 19 reviews, all pretty convinced of great chemistry between the 2 leads.
Kind of reminds me of "The Proposal".
Sandra Bullock is like a multifunction tool. She is able to connect with any other person on screen, it's just amazing.
It was a long wait for a movie like this. Lower scale was buried on Netflix in the last Couple of years. MAy this be the comeback of romantic comedy in theaters with a huge $100m-Result.

Wow, Dreamworks used to make beautiful movies. Croods 1 was the last one that was just gorgeous to watch. The animation in this one is a disgrace. It looks like a chea series version with barely renderd fur.
Only Disney left to make an effort.

DC Black lives on?
I think this is a quite poor response. It's not like they were forced to hire Snyder to start their DC Universe.
They failed horribly and it's a shame they let the universe go now.
Wonder Woman and Aquaman were good movies by incredibly talented filmmakers, but they just didn't fit at all with the tone of Zack Snyder movies. If you aren't able to see this as a supervisor of the whole DC Universe, well...

Looks like $230M OS-C finish. Depending on how high China goes probably $275-330M.
DOM is heading $140M may be, so a possible $470M.It was hit a bit harder this week by The Batman, but there's not much competition coming up so we have so see where itgoes from here.

I mean, will they even try to deliver an explanation, why giant carnivors walk through Valetta with people watching in the background. Valetta. Malta. Island. I have questions...

“Experience the epic conclusion of the Jurassic era”
Is it though?
No.
Also, some of the Dino-CGI looks off.
But every JP-Movie is a must-see, because Dinos rock.

To even try to find any kind of plausability in this franchise after The Lost World is a stretch i have to say - and i say that as a hardcore fan.
The premise in TLW is a completely different thing, though.
Yes, trying to open that park again and again might seem a bit awkward, but also feels like totally human. A lot of things happen because of money, that later turn out...not so great.The supposed premise in JW3 is in a completely different ballpark of "hard to believe".

I'm still not convinced there is any story that makes it plausible, that 20 runaway-dinos take over a world full of war weapons an that within a timespan, in which Ellie Sattler and her collegues are still alive.

With Horror usually being more walk-up heavy, this should easily top those comps.

Australian horror fans got a sneak peak. High approval, but there is a caveat. She did warn people that this film will trigger those who have experienced domestic violence (directly or indirectly). I'm not defending Armond White. I'm just saying he has pointed out something obvious here.
White basically critizised a movie about domestic violence being about domestic violence, while that lady just metioned, that the movie might be especially uncomfortable to watch for women having experienced such a thing.
Those are completely different topics.

I always wondered what is it like for a German to watch Hollywood war movies presenting them as the bad guys. Or any other American movie set during WW2 like Indiana Jones.
As I said, I don't think I feel any different than you.
The only time I got offended as a german was, when they didn't even make an effort in "How I met your mother" to ask a german-speaking person, if those german words/jokes made any sense at all.

For me personally, it depends on the movie and what it tries to portray: The Nazis in this case are kind of their own thing since i think its hard to find another ideology or movement where the word "evil" is better suited so seeing them getting their asses kicked in Indiana Jones is good fun. For me the problems begin with Films who portray Germans that are not Nazis as Nazis. Thats why for example i refuse to ever watch Wonder Woman again, since that film acted like the World War I Germans were "Nazis" and the "Bad Guys" as well, when that really was not the case and its just Hollywood beeing lazy.
But most of the time Hollywood gets the time period mostly right with their Nazis and then i think no German (apart maybe some crazy Neo-Nazis) would have a problem with it. Inglorious Basterds for example is my 2nd favourite Tarantino Film
I don't think that that's the message I got out of WW. They may have portraied Ludendorf as Nazi-esque, who actually kills fellow germans who want to agree to a peace.In context of a SH-Movie, that is not at all after being historically correct, I think this was more than acceptable. After all, it the main Bad Guy was a God who played with the humans.

I feel sad for German they have to keep showing up for a movie clearly antagonize German.
How is it sad? I do identify with persons, not a country and I guess there's nothing easier than sympathizing with the protagonist in 1917.

I can't see how Hansel would do double digits on SB-WE with those kind of Previews.
Last year, Miss Bala did barely $7m off 650k previews.

very nice, cool weekend with 7 releases >100k, that's not shabby! While the overall outlook for 2020 is still pessimistic, at least we're off to a good start!
Tbh, January is a fair bet in Germany after christmas trailering. That's why it's even more frustrating, that they wasted that Jan 9th weekend.And that's only the start of questionable scheduling issues to come.
On Feb 20th, we have "The Call of The Wild" vs. "Lassie" and "Fantasy Island" vs. "The Boy 2".
On March 26th we have Mulan, "Trolls 2"and "Peter Rabbit 2" opening against each other.
Mark G, of Insidekino wrote another great blog after finishing his visit at the "Münchener Filmwoche", the german Cinema Con.http://www.blog.insidekino.de/?p=8628

I think it does around 100-120m overseas so similar to Gemini man numbers.
Nah, this will do $50m in just Germany, UK and France.

Presales for Bad Boys are very Good. Easy #1 for the weekend. Would see 300k as the absolute minimum here. More like 400k+.

It's doing better than I expected, but still not good. We'll see if it can keep it up this week.
$1,6m-$1,8m could be perfectly fine if it played like a kids movie in the end.
Well, not fine considering the budget, but could still mean well over $30m over the holida weekend.

Jurassic World: Dominion | June 10 2022 | 6th Most Profitable Movie of 2023
in Box Office Discussion
Posted
Still no explanation, how 20 runaway dinosaurs were able to cause any damage (they make it sound like humanity is close to extinction due to dinosaurs walking on earth) to humanity, while humanity was able to extinct thousands of species with...a spear thousands of years ago.
The most important question will still be, if they even try to offer an explanation.
