Kinda scary how this is the Oscar frontrunner before early reactions or major hype. This would need mixed reviews and one GKIDS release to receive universal praise to even consider about it losing the award.

Sony has opened 3 consecutive hits, when was the last time that happened?
-
400m for a second Mummy reboot is great.
Some people just had unrealistic expectations.

Since DM3 predicts are all over the place, here's a chance to put your predictor hat on. One gold account up for grabs to whoever comes closest on the weekend number. Just quote this post with your predict and the closest person wins it on Monday.
82.35m

Not really sure where to ask this, but since Disney isn't releasing a new movie until Ragnarok (!!!), Wouldn't that help their current movies to hold more theaters?
Like wouldn't Disney try to keep Cars, Pirates and Guardians longer?
-
With $60m 5-day even +130m doesn't seem certain.
And some people were laughing at the possibility of a potential TF6 under 100m just a few days ago.

How much fudge did Frozen need to reach $400m?
If GOTGV2 follows Ultron it'll end around $385-390m (it has done better so far). Is $10m worth the try?
-
Off all the hopeful Cinematic universes, this is the one I hope sticks. Penny Dreadful showed this can be done (the show had serious flaws but still) so this one just needs the right direction.
-
$100m is great for WW. Rooting for great legs, 2.75-2.85.

I very much doubt Ragnarok will outgross JL and Coco has no chance in hell no matter how good it is. I'm certainly not a DC fanboy, but IMO people are underestimating JL (domestically, at least).
I meant combined, obviously.

Disney is already #1 DOM with just 2 movies released this year.
It should be able to maintain the #1 until Ragnarok (unless DM3 or Fox/WB whole slate overperform or both Pirates/Cars bomb) which is kinda nuts considering they'd only have 4 movies by November.
Ragnarok + Coco should outgross JL, so they'll most likely win the year even without TLJ.
-
Not surprising, Avengers is the only MCU draw (I've only seen lines for Avengers, Ultron and to a lesser extent Civil War).
Was on OD for Guardians and the theater was packed... But F8 was sold out for the whole day (on its 3rd weekend ffs)

Me. I like variety.
I meant from their perspective. Why would you finance a bunch of films to dump them in the worst weeks and barely promote them so they don't even have a chance to make its money back.
It's not realistic with all the franchises Disney owns at the moment
-
"Tomorrowland was a bad movie, but at least they tried something new" is probably the worst argument I've seen in this forum.
Also, does Disney have blank spaces in their schedule to release a bunch of low profile movies? They release tentpoles every 3 weeks and the dumping grounds are still dominated by their old releases (January - Rogue One / April - BATB)
Why would anyone want dumps like The Finest Hours or Queen of Katwe? Or huge tentpoles that have bomb written all over it? They still get bad press from John Carter, Lone Ranger, Tomorrowland, etc

Wait this is actually happening. And releasing on my bday.
Kinda rooting for this though I dislike her.

Not 856 for top10. Who would have thought? I don't know what ER do they use but I doubt that's more than $3k.

I wonder if all the people screaming "RACISM!!!1!" Also complain about the lack of blacks & Latinos representation in Japanese media. Or does that not fit the narrative of the evil white landlord trying to enslave the world by casting ScarJo as a robot with blue eyes that obviously should've been Japanese.
I'm not even going to see GitS, but trivializing real issues like racism is trivializing decades of struggles (or centuries) which is way more offensive than whether ScarJo accepted a role or not.

Saw King on Monday and every fucking BATB show was sold out. It's been sold out here since OD and the lines are bigger than the one for Harina Pan.

Saw this on Monday and absolutely loved it. I love how it embraces the fact that it's a monsters movie and goes crazy with it.
I went to see a giant ape smashing things and that's what I got. No one cares about human characters. (Though Brie Larson is always delightful to look at)
A great improvement from Godzilla, which is by far the worst recent "blockbuster" I've seen (And I watched BvS and SS on OD)

Isn't Bond on sale? That would be a $1b per movie franchise for them. I saw an article on Forbes about it

Saw this for the second time tonight (for some reason it opened last night here, on a fucking Monday).
And this is just wonderful. Literally every detail is perfectly taken care of. The only nitpick I have is the bathroom scene during "Someone In The Crowd". I can almost hear someone screaming action at the beginning. Maybe starting 1 second (or even half) later would be enough. And I'm usually a "why the fuck would you do that?" Kind of guy watching movies (especially on repeat viewings)
The music is so fucking good. There are so many meanings once you've seen the movie for the first time (for those of us who had it on repeat for weeks) and then for the second time again. I appreciate Ryan a little bit more too, but still think that Emma carries the movie by herself.

Well, I live in a 3rd world country and there's only 1 theater in my city. (Which means only blockbusters are released here)
My college screens some Oscar movies (Son Of Saul, The Danish Girl, Ex-Machina), Indies (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, Irrational Man) or foreign (Rams, Embrace of the Serpent) but these are really rare.
We're also under a dictatorship that doesn't allow you to import things (food, medicine, etc so obviously no DVD/BR) and we don't even have access to $$ (hence why Netflix and similar services are not available here)
So yeah, I pirate movies I can't legally watch. I've gone a lot to the theater this year (+30, even though it's very expensive) but there are movies that don't get a release like Sausage Party, The BFG, Hell or High Water, etc. Or that get released for a mere week like Pete's Dragon (most are tbh, even Civil War and FB) and I can't go because work/college/lack of money.
So yeah, maybe too much information but some people here act like everything is black or white

The deal with Disney is that they don't really care about the movies, the way the sell SW/Marvel/Frozen is through merchandising, so every poster or TV ad is released to sell toys (and they definitely are better at that than everyone else)
Look at the GOTG2 trailer, that's basically a huge Baby Groot ad which happens to be in a future billion grossing movie
You can hardly say that the marketing for Moana or even Zootopia / The Jungle Book were great. At most they were standard (Moana's was criminal, tbh)

Saw Rogue One on Monday and the theater was empty. 8-10 people at most. I should've seen it on OD tbh.
Also saw Moana that day and it was packed.

I feel like "Your Name" could be massive. It was a wonderful film but very simple at the same time, I find it hard to believe that JJ could fuck it up.
Stuff like Naruto, Dragon Ball and GITS are way harder to adapt to film. I'd love an Attack on Titan show on HBO, easily the next GoT, but they're too busy murdering the story to fit in 2 hours.
