YM!

Did Brie Larson hurt your family?

I think the worst theater experience I had was during the screening of The Nun (which was shit anyways) had a couple fucking somewhere in the theater. It’s kind of (in addition to other shit in that theater) why I dislike going to the only IMAX in my state. I don’t think Minions raves are as disrupting as that. I am sympathetic as the pandemic took a lot from everyone especially teens and young adults. And even then we all did very stupid things in teenhood and young adulthood. I just think it’s kind of extra doing shit like throwing food or starting mosh pits, and I can understand why parents would be annoyed but it’s a very small group of people doing it. I think it’s very unfair and ridiculous to discount the majority from having fun in suits when it is obviously a very small minority ruining it for everyone. And I think it’s dumb to have that rule in place due to a few dumbass TikTokkers.

Hey man, clowns are supposed be funny, not sad and desperate. It’s an insult to clown to call that dude a clown lol.

Heart of The Amazon Studio: Creatures Incorporated Release Date: 4/11/Y9 Genre: Nature Documentary Director: Drew Fellman Rating: G Budget: $5M Theater Count: 2,491 Runtime: 82 minutes Narrator: Sofia Vergera Composer: George Fenton Plot: We follow the life of the various fauna of the Amazon Rainforest split up throughout the narrative, like Namor the Amazaon River Dolphin attempting to attract a mate, Pepa the Jaguar attempting to raise her cubs, Manuel the baby Howler Monkey attempting to find his pack and Cassie the Capybara trying to get food. The documentary also focuses how the deforestation and interference by man has made it harder for these animals to live there. The animals overcome their hardships at the end of the story but also point out that it’s up to us to do our part to make sure the rainforest stays thriving.

So the Dwarves replacement thing was a bunch of PR bullshit?

I’m thinking Beasts 1 numbers for Songbirds, think anywhere between 150m-300m for it and I’d not be surprised. I don’t have Oppenheimer doing Dunkirk numbers, probably more around 150m.

If I were to reorganize the 2023 summer to winter slate, I’d do something like this: May Guardians - 5/5 Fast X - 5/19 (provided it’s ready on time, if not MI: DR PO) The Little Mermaid - 5/26 June Strays - 6/2 Transformers - 6/2 Elemental - 6/16 Train - 6/23 MI: DR PO - 6/30 July SpiderVerse - 7/7 or 7/14 Barbie - 7/21 Indy 5 - 7/28 August Blue Beetle Voyage Turismo TMNT Meg 2 September The Flash - Labor Day 3qualizer AQP Oppenheimer - late September ish Madame Web October True Love - 10/6 Exorcist - 10/13 Paw Patrol - 10/13 Blade - 10/20 November Dune 2 - 11/3 Trolls 3 - 11/3 IF - 11/10 Hunger Games - 11/17 WDAS - Thanksgiving December The Marvels Wonka Ghostbusters The Color Purple Migration

I mean unless it’s trash it should easily do more than at least Oppenheimer or Ghostbusters.

Blade still coming this year though. I also feel Tiger’s Apprentice would move to 2024 to save itself from Migration. Elemental should move if it’s facing Fast X OW too. Something big needs to be in Christmas. Wonka is a wildcard and no one cares enough about Afterlife 2 for it pull in good numbers. The best choices would be Hunger Games, The Marvels or Indy 5.

Hitler: Minion, hand me ze Tylenol Bob gets confused between Tylenol and Cyanide and gives Hitler the Cyanide.

This too but I’m less worried about that. I think Across will underperform high expectations but Beyond will overperform, so long as Across is great.

Also I get huge Kung Fu Panda 2 and Dragon 2 vibes from it. It really needs a different spot.

I think Transformers will be big OS, as for Flash I think the floor for it is higher than SpiderVerse because of live action and slight nostalgia but due to Ezra, it now has a much lower ceiling.

Fair. That’s kind of part of my justification for SpiderVerse 2 doing under the first, other than the competition being too much for it.

Too much competition for either to handle.

Tbh the only concern like @Eric the Minion said is maybe the Disney plus factor but one thing in its favor is that for the live action remakes, no notable ones have been sent directly to the plus. Sure there’s Tramp and Pinocchio but at best they’d do 100m.

I think there’s fatigue but like Minions, I think the pandemic will help it with the GA forgive and forget as there hasn’t been one of these on the big screen.

If I had to predict a summer top 10, as the list currently stands with current release dates, it’d be: 1. Guardians 3 - 525m 2. The Little Mermaid - 425m 3. Indiana Jones 5 - 400m 4. The Marvels - 385m 5. Dead Reckoning - 325m 6. The Flash - 240m 7. Barbie - 215m 8. Fast X - 200m 9. Elemental - 185m 10. Across The SpiderVerse - 180m - Seems like the underperformer of the summer purely due to release date

I do. Nostalgia sells. TLM is a WDAS Renaissance movie. Unless it’s like TLK levels bad, 285M is the floor. Remember how we all thought Aladdin would flop?

Minions O/U Love and Thunder? Minions O/U 400m DOM?

Huh memes can actually work lol.

Think they want something to tie into Veterans Day. PVOD, DVD/Blu Ray or Paramount+.

Not really. The trailers killed, marketing was everywhere and in your face and while it didn’t helped DM3 had no good hook and Minions was mixed, the pandemic hiatus helped people forgot and forgive about them and the idea of a young Gru/origin story could be fun for the GA. It also helped that Lightyear looked more and more like an underperformer since mid April. I am not giving predictions for DM4 as it all depends on the hook for it. Maybe girls are adults and a new villain? Idk.
