Hiccup23

I don't want to start predicting because I can't but... Dark Side is limited and definitely has a cap to its audience. Gotta keep things realistic. I know everybody wants it to be the first $200M opener

Legs is the theme of Y3....like the first two weeks of April are just pathetic. Literally nothing major opens.

Friday, January 4th Year 4 opens with a whimper. Both openers failed to generate interest among audiences and negative reviews didn’t help. Expect both to fade quickly into the dust. Volton: Rise of Lotor- $54,811,784 million Spyro: Dragonheart- $11,004,783 million Not Funny - $8,615,009 million And the Band Played On- $8,076,662 million The Parvelli Reunion- $7,930,663 million Peter and the Starcatchers- $5,110,056 million Homestar Runner's Cruddy Debut Movie - $3,167,316 million Blood Blizzard- $3,112,683 million Sitting Ducks- $2,721,528 million Midnight in the Afghan Valley- $2,373,793 million Friday, January 11th Burnout drew in audiences with a strong $24.5M opening weekend. Reviews were favorable and audiences enjoyed the film earning it a B+ rating. Unfortunately, competition next weekend could limit its legs. Chessmen was the first family animated film of the year. Opening with $16.7M, Chessmen opened right around predictions. Reviews were mixed but audiences gave it an A-. Look for strong legs as it is the only family film until early February. Volton: Rise of Lotor- $31,066,129 million Burnout - $24,495,720 million Chessmen - $16,664,856 million Spyro: Dragonheart- $6,859,285 million The Parvelli Reunion- $6,116,449 million And the Band Played On- $5,667,325 million Not Funny- $4,816,121 million (-44.2%) Peter and the Starcatchers- $2,482,298 million Sitting Ducks- $1,995,306 million Midnight in the Afghan Valley- $1,885,205 million Homestar Runner's Cruddy Debut Movie- $1,224,448 million (-61.3%) Friday, January 18th (4-day MLK Weekend) Both MLK openers opened right at expectations with Conductive generating $34.0M/$40.6M opening weekend and Exorcism of Jessica Winters doing $21.1M/$25.1M. Conductive earned a B rating from audiences and mixed reviews. Legs are really up in the air at this point. EJW earned mixed to negative reviews and landed a C+ rating from audiences. It’s target audience showed up opening weekend so legs are doubtful. Luckily for both films, competition is zero next weekend. Burnout dipped -55% to a $11.0M/$13.1M weekend. This is expected and it should stablize next weekend. Chessmen fell -35.3% to $10.8M/$12.8M and should next weekend overtake Burnout. Chessmen will continue to play well over the next two weekends. Conductive - $33,985,501 million/$40,571,191 million Volton: Rise of Lotor- $23,922,248 million/$29,524,754 million Exorcism of Jessica Winters – $21,053,457/$25,116,280 million Burnout- $11,025,845/$13,095,559 million (-55.0%) Chessmen- $10,775,412/$12,827,390 million (-35.3%) Spyro: Dragonheart- $5,110,793 million/$6,633,772 million The Parvelli Reunion- $4,774,496 million/$6,177,494 million And the Band Played On- $4,502,996 million/$5,838,017 million Not Funny- $2,383,657/$2,800,006 million (-50.5%) Midnight in the Afghan Valley- $1,663,725 million/$2,158,402 million Friday, January 25th Conductive fell a better than expected -50.8% thanks to zero competition. Next weekend competition is once again slim so it might hold on. EJW fell to $9.7M with a -54.0% drop. Once again better than expected thanks to the lack of horror films since mid-November. Chessmen saw the best drop to no surprise with $8.0M. Anther sub-30% drop next weekend is likely before My Peoples annihilates its legs. Burnout fell -43% with $6.3M. This film continues to perform ahead of predictions. Conductive - $16,725,671 million (-50.8%) Voltron: Rise of Lotor- $13,550,239 million Exorcism of Jessica Winters – $9,684,448 million (-54.0%) Chessmen- $8,000,564 million (-25.8%) Burnout- $6,272,439 million (-43.1%) From Earth to Infinity: An Odyssey Through Space - $6,008,200 million The Parvelli Reunion- $3,551,072 million And the Band Played On- $3,445,771 million Spyro: Dragon Heart- $2,702,996 million Midnight in the Afghan Valley- $1,185,996 million

Since everybody has done it We Are the Ants- August 7th, Kelly Fremon Craig - Drama A Wish For Wings That Worked- November 6th, Don Hall- Animation

7pm tentatively

Alright tomorrow they drop. Some will succeed and others will fail. It isn't shade, facts are facts.

Sunday- January and February Monday- March and April Tuesday- May and June Wednesday- July and August Weekend- September/October Monday- November/December (maybe on the weekend. Depends what shit I'm up to)

I'm actually excited for the actuals. I'm gonna give three hints A January film sees amazing legs One February film disappoints majorly 2 March films smash predictions...like smash smash them.

The actual? Sunday night around 7pm central time. If nobody objects

Let's just say this......low competition and not a ton of films being released this year is gonna help everybody a ton. We actually have the films spaced out (genre and blockbuster wise) pretty good. Competition really should be too much of a worry. Only really December needs to worry.

You maybe right...... I might have a rough draft of January through April already completed

I am out of town this weekend. I plan on starting the actual Sunday evening if that's cool. I don't leave for my deployment until July 5th. I'll be back July 29th. Hoping Y4 will still be open

Thanks!!

Can I get the hold overs?

My One and Only Priority We Are the Ants

I enjoyed the film. Very predictable and it ain't an Oscar film but I thought it had strong performances to warrant the grade
