YM!

Will this finally be my chance to win? After underestimating NWH and getting 2nd place in the Batman contest, will Strange be the third time a charm lol?

True lol but like I do expect Sonic 2 to skew older and probably have a more frontloaded ratio OW.

R-rated Sonic film with Rogue the Bat. Cinema. Anyways reviews for this are pretty bad. 56% at 18, will this effect box office?

I believe it’s more so due to the early OS release is why reviews are early.

While there’s still a few weeks to go, the weak start for Dumbledore doesn’t surprise. I have been have a gut feeling for the past few months now it’d be more akin to Dark Phoenix/Allegiant but a higher DOM total.

I mean granted these comparisons are older by a bit but wouldn’t for a $50m OW especially for the Pikachu comparison want a preview around 5-6m?

Comparative based on the Thursday preview

Full weekend. It is the quickest for me but here’s the Thursday conversion. Either way, not a fan. TS4 ($4.32M) Aladdin ($6.44M) DM3 ($4.1M) Pikachu ($4.67M)

Sonic 2 did about 36% of 9 days before release of TS4 ($42.9M), 92% of Aladdin ($82.5M), 84% of Pikachu ($44.5M) and same as DM3 ($70M) Pretty wide range but I don’t like how the comparisons are showing low 40s.

I wonder if AmbuLAnce is like a Matrix situation. The contract ensures IMAX but every other PLFs goes to it’s more family friendly competitor.

Meanwhile, AmbuLAnce got cucked at the Marcus theaters near me by Sonic. Not only does it have to share with Sonic but most theaters with one or two PLFs but the biggest which are the biggest in my state only have one showing for it in the late evening. They don’t even get the coveted 7:00 pm slot. Sun Prarie even gave it the bigger PLF.

Morbius is at about 46.4% of Tuesday before releases numbers of Shang Chi at my theater ($34.86m) and Let There Be Carnage ($41.83m). That’s what I’m guessing.

Yeah I was thinking $60m possibility at first but the momentum shifting downwards these past few days, I think Morbius could go as low as TSS.

I mean I think WW it’ll do okay but like domestic, yes I do think it’s probably going to fall. Looking at past sequels were reception to a predecessor was bad, the sequel tends to drop regardless on if the score improves. It’s a pretty basic box office concept. Do you not get that? Just because you like a movie, and other people got low predictions doesn’t mean it’s unfounded. It’s a bit harsh sure but like it’s not left field. 100m seems probable, maybe like 120m but I think sub 100m wouldn’t be a surprise either.

So… understanding on why a celebrity especially a comedian, who makes more money than anyone here will ever make in a lifetime slapped another comedian/celebrity and empathizing with it is equivalent to advocating “Hey, let’s beat all comedians” and comedians are the most prosecuted people on the planet. Some people may say comedy is dead now but looking at some peoples’ posts, I’d say it’s thriving.

Apparently missed the academy dissing the animation industry, probably the most creative and expressive way to tell a story and probably explains why Belle wasn’t nommed as well as a few other choices over the years. Look I’m not going to pretend that the majority of mainstream animation isn’t kid movies but it’s sad to see Hollywood continue to stigmatize and belittle the animation medium. It’s especially fucked considering the recent news of Pixar creatives unable to put up a damn LGBTQ flag in a film and the new deal attempting to happen.

This 2 hours and six minutes runtime is bs for a film of this scope. They should’ve gave us a runtime of under 2 hours, you can cut some filler not needed in there.

To be fair, regardless of the winner, I think they’d be overshadowed by this.

Holy shit, Big Willie

Bad night for Feige. The two categories meant to placate the MCU stans both end up going to Snyder. This is peak comedy lol.

I do hope the non IP Pixar stuff still get theatrical releases.

Pretty good birthday gift to know it’s theatrically exclusive. Time to do a prediction. $85m/$300m
