YM!

I just got a YouTube ad showing Sing 2 will be available on demand this Friday lol.

Okay so by that definition, No Way Home is only popular because of the past Spider-Man movies. Or any sequel to their respective predecessor.

A part of me wonders if Avatwo will get a China release considering it’s get much harder to get a China release for Hollywood stuff now.

Sing 2 is having some strong holds. With some good luck, it can make 150m domestic.

Black Panther easily.

You’re grounded too.

As that any way to talk to YourMother? You’re grounded.

Waiting on a Miracle is an underrated “I Want” song

It’s wild that every LMM musical this year has been a banger of movie… also Vivo exists lol.

I mean at the end of the day none of these films had China to rely on and on top of that, Venom is going to be more profitable than any non NWH MCU movie this year because it had a lower budget.

I disagree. It’s not like being Spider-Man helped literally any other film Tom Holland is in. The guy may be popular but he’s like Hemsworth where the GA (despite what his stans may say) only want to see him as Spider-Man.

You expect Morbius and ATSV over 350m DOM?

If it weren’t for the fact family audiences are uncertain, also depends on if Turning Red can open to 40m, Sonic 2 seems like it has a shot for $75m OW.

FYC Best Animated Feature Best Original Song: Wash The Hurt Away or literally any song in this. Best Voice Performance: Michael J Woodard as Arlo, Mary Lambert as Bertie

I can see either or for FB3. A total near $70m or just above $100m. I do see a scenario where Sonic 2 OW > Beasts 3 DOM is possible.

To be fair, this isn’t Kravitz first time as Catwoman theatrically.

Any hopes for increases for the new openers?

But why even care in the first place? You complain about all the directors and people not liking MCU stuff when they wouldn’t be as big, If you don’t give them oxygen to takes you don’t like then these fandom fires wouldn’t happen.

You know what the funny thing about the hatred of Film Twitter? That the side the fanboys are showing ire against are a small portion, as a large portion of film Twitter is actually Marvel stans.

If anyone says NWH’s run is disappointing if it doesn’t reach 700m is just being ridiculous. In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the fact that this opened to $260m+ and will probably finish $680m+ is pretty damn impressive. (A $700m total is still very likely especially as the big test for numbers is this week) Especially considering most of us including myself thought the pandemic would hinder box office optimism for it. However that said we’re still in a pandemic. I do think calendar configuration is a big culprit but I do think fears of Omicron probably helped cause legs to be weaker. Sure, the target 18-34 demographic likely doesn’t give a shit but for families and older audiences it’s more concerning. And they help drive the Christmas and holiday legs. We’re probably not going to see normal numbers for everything apart from a few exceptions until Q4 2022, because whether we like it or not, the pandemic exists and they’re still a lot of people hesitant about moviegoing. I also think (and I’m going to get disbeliefs, not cools and WTFs for it), the MCU in particular the event movies like NWH are starting to get more frontloaded, mainly in order to avoid spoilers as the 18-34 demographic is much more spoiler averse and the insistence that every MCU film post NWH looks looks shaping up some sort of crossover event and want to see it the first weekend as well as the other demographics like families and the occasional women which helps the MCU aren’t in full return. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if MoM opened to $175m+ but then had legs like Civil War despite weaker competition. I think they’ll naturally be some exceptions as Shang-Chi is an obvious one and I think onward my guesses for the MCU films with stronger legs are probably Wakanda Forever, Quantumania and Blade, as not only are these films should be when the pandemic eases up but the audience to boost the legs will help (Quantumania being families), one being a solo and the former likely being the big conversation piece next year.

True, Tangled and Yogi Bear did get a nice little jump. In most cases, a slight drop happens after Christmas for new openers but who knows. Still was hoping for a stronger jump more akin to the Fockers.

Jesus that Sing 2 number is awful.

Cool what about Sing 2, Matrix, and the like.

A 5.3m for Sing 2 is pretty good considering it’ll have a huge jump today and tomorrow. It’s a family film.
