If sing does like a 50m five day/60m six day, I think it’s going 200m

$15.4m two day total, minus previews for Sing 2. Should be good for 50m+ six day but not much over.

Tbh there’s two MCU movies this year that would be better to push than this.

I mean yes there is bias against superhero movies. For me, all of the ones I think should’ve got nominations did get something. Logan, Black Panther and Into The Spider-Verse all got recognized be it a best picture nod for Panther, a screenplay nod for Logan or Spider-Verse winning a best feature so to speak. I do think the later two should’ve have also got nominations for BP as well. I hate Joker but it also got a lot of damn nominations. Personal I just don’t think I have seen a CBM in my opinion since those ones that earned a nomination.

Even though I think NWH is better and I don’t think either of them should get the nomination, I would be more okay with Eternals than NWH.

I updated my avatar to the best Madrigal granddaughter. We stan Dolores. Isabela is trash.

I think out of all the MCU movies, none have had as much of a cultural impact, yes even more arguably than the IW/EG duo and as NWH smashes records, the impact that Black Panther and Wakanda has had in the African American community is larger than any fanboy “that’s dope” moment. The question is how the film is handled.

Wish Dragon and Fatherhood too

I’ve said this in my letterboxd review for one of his recent movies so I’ll say it: Please stop giving Matt Lieberman movies to screenwrite.

I mean I liked NWH but I have a hard time believing WSS isn’t a better film. Spielberg is a far better director than this Jon Watts alias that Feige uses.

Boxoffice says it’s 8.1M Wednesday, 9.75m including previews.

China is also not letting in most Hollywood films this year. Yes, Avatar had a cultural impact on China, but it seems that China has also become more restrictive in films they let in.

No China. China is probably not letting this get a theatrical release.

8.1M

1. Avatar 2: 650M/2B 2. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: 600M/1.1B (if it comes out) 3. The Batman: 450M/925M 4. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: 425M/950M 5. Jurassic World: Dominion: 425M/1.2B 6. Thor: Love and Thunder: 410M/1B 7. Lightyear: 285M/850M 8. Aquaman 2: 280M/700M (though I’m betting either this or Flash or both goes to 2023) 9. Mario: 265M/650M 10. The Flash: 250M/700M Top Gun 2: 235M/775M Mission: Impossible 7: 220M/735M Strange World: 205M/500M Across the Spider-Verse Part One: 190M/350M Black Adam: 185M/400M Sonic 2: 170M/375M Turning Red: 165M/430M Bullet Train: 160M/450M Nope: 150M/240M Morbius: 145M/325M Salem’s Lot: 140M/250M Lost City: 135M/280M Minions: The Rise of Gru: 125M/565M Creed III: 125M/265M Elvis: 120M/270M Scream 5: 110M/240M Puss in Boots 2: 105M/465M Halloween Ends: 100M/200M DC League of Super Pets: 100M/250M The Bad Guys: 90M/275M Fantastic Beasts 3: 90M/400M Uncharted: 75M/225M Bob's Burgers: 50M/100M

@charlie Jatinder is the 8.1M for Sing 2 excluding the previews?

Don’t forget Jumanji opened with $7m on a Wednesday and did like $70m six day.

Jesus these numbers are depressing.

I think The Batman can.

Also the jury is still out on Sing 2, with a $8.9m-$9m Od, it can still have a strong six day.

It’s combination of the three. The 18-34 demographic which largely fueled NWH gross, are less concerned about the safety at the movies. I do think also that without Omicron things would have higher grosses, in particular Sing 2, as the family demographic is not 100% there. Also, yes there’s an interest factor as I do think The King’s Man prolly have done the same. I do think Matrix would’ve done much better if it didn’t face Spidey and had PLFs this week

If it’s just me I like to see my blockbusters as well as films where the format would work well like musicals, animation, the occasional drama, etc but normal screenings aren’t a deal breaker.

King’s Man O/U 1.5M OD?
