    Monster Trucks, another enormous letdown movie, still made double digits its opening weekend...and it looked way worse than Mortal Engines.  There is probably some room in the market for a "big machine" movie, whether it ends up good or not.  And it will take 3000 screens away from holdovers, pretty much no matter what...theaters will open this movie, just to see if it has somewhere to go, before they toss it between Xmas and New Year's (if it performs where tracking says it will)...

    many holdovers have terrible PTA so they should be cut tbh. Oscar hopefuls such as Widows and Green Book continue to have shit PTA despite fewer theaters they play in. When movies that play for weeks and in more theaters still manage to have better PTA than these 2, that points at lots of empty seats.

    December is perfect for this. The studio probably has a better idea of when to release this than ZattMurdock from box office theory forums 🤣

    Eh, not so fast. I guarantee you that most BOT posters knew that Robin Hood was a flop idea and wouldn't greenlight it, but the studio did. In fact, fans are many times better at sniffing out bombs right from the announcement. Heck, SW fans were saying "who the fuck wants a Han Solo movie?" when it was just one of several rumors floating. But the studio went forward and bombed. So no need to underestimate the wisdom of fans and overestimate the wisdom of CEO's.

    While you are correct that's the approach they are going for, we live in a social media world now that a film like this - just like any other superhero film - would benefit greatly of a worldwide unified release date. Miles Morales is arguably one of the most important African American characters in comics - not as big as Black Panther, but still - and February would give it not just a good distance of the crowded December market, but also tie it nicely to Black History month, like Black Panther this year. The scattered release date seems like an old approach to market films in a world that last week's films are "old news". I honestly hope to be proven wrong, but I think that Spider-Verse will be a critically acclaimed gem that will be screwed over an awful release schedule. 

    So Sony could make Miles live action only not Holland Parker? or is there some agreement that they can't make Miles movies at the same time with Disney Parker movies?

    It still has Italy and South Africa left to open, and with the crazy holds its having overseas $600M is basically locked. I'd go as far as to bet it'll also pass $650M. 

    I hope it does. we need more successes that aren't the usual suspects (SH, action, sci fi)

    Fusari collaborated with Gaga, who traveled daily to New Jersey, helping to develop her songs and compose new material.[25] The producer said they began dating in May 2006, and claimed to have been the first person to call her "Lady Gaga", which was derived from Queen's song "Radio Ga Ga

    oh nice piece of gossip! :lol:

    Bombin Hood going to challenge Solo for flop of the year.

    Nope, because RH bombing was expected. Star Wars bombing was not. people expected under 1B and I think 700M+ was the lowest they thought it would go but under 400M is absolutely embarrassing for such a big brand.

    As bad as Kosner portrayal of Robin Hood was, the movie as a whole was very enjoyable and entertaining. It should never be compared to this new POS

     

    Kostner movie had the power ballad (the staple of 90s blockbusters) and Alan Rickman, arguably two things the movie is famous for (it's infamous for Kostnen's accent). 

     

    @Alli come over here! IF keeps slaying! Amazing hold! 

     

    Ditto BR.
