Admit it, people, this is the most surprising run of 2018. It had everything stacked up against it. It defied all expectations and then some. My friend, you bow to no one.

Really? that good, huh?
Yep

Venom is doing great cause it's fun, easy to follow for the uninitiated, isn't offensive to fans, it's rewatchable, and has awards-worthy performance of the year in its center. critics were wrong plain and simple. @Alli

A lot of the reviews and WOM blame Rowling but Warner Bros can't exactly fire her given it's her creation.
they need someone who dares to say No to her BS. If characters are bland (well, Newt and Tina are and they are leads so...) and story is confusing mess that even fans have problem following and retconning is of the worst kind, than someone should straighten her out.

Movies that are walk-up driven won't have good preview numbers, so we have to wait for Friday number to gauge the weekend.
@Alli More like bad wigs strike again!

I'm pretty sure Chaos Walking is getting pushed back with how quiet things have been around it. Maybe to August in hopes of riding on that Avengers/Spider-Man train.
Tom and Daisy did reshoots in Montreal end of October, beginning of November. For 2-3 weeks. But nothing can save that turd.

I know we've joked about it before, but it's unbelievable that studios have successfully extended the OW to include showtimes on Tuesday.
well, when your tentpole is gonna have a turkey OW, you do what you gotta do to inflate it.
Venom didn't need such tricks.

should be very profitable considering the budget that was smartly used for TH salary and Venom SFX.

Yet it still it doesn't come close to SPECTRE which made money out of no where - without even the illusion of possible double features, free/discount tickets or even the buy a ticket get the movie in digital free (like Passengers)
I must have missed Passengers fudge. Sounds like tons of fun.

Beating AntMan2 was a dream...
A few weeks later $800M is locked! It could finish in top 5 worldwide this year. Beat TASM and TASM2.
Best case scenario, SM:H is going down.
can it do it dom too? or it'll end a tad below?

AWIT is the biggest fudge in history of fudging. And it was such a tough fudge. they tried and tried and tried and tried.

Venom's 2nd weekend in China should cross 55. Around 50% drop from ow. The experts are now talking $270+ total. So matching SMH's 880 ww is on cards 215 Dom + 275 Ch + 390 OS-Ch = 880 WW
Holy shit!

Yea, but who does this appeal to? The Potter loonies. It's not like there's a lot of appeal here to the general public. So when you appeal to one group and one group only, it's not surprising that the sequel drops.
Oh, I agree with that completely. Look what happened to SW for banking too much on nostalgia instead of moving forward. FB had a chance to be more for GA than just for fans, and it blew it.

It’s almost 10:30 AM on the east. Where are the damn preview numbers? Isn’t Warner Bros typically early with their numbers...

FB2 under CRA possible too if it does 63-64 ow and multi close to 2.7x.
@SMmadrid90 Oh I agree. OS is the key though it seems that it's losing steam in Asia.
-
BR and ASIB will have higher dom totals than FB when all is said and done. Solo can breathe easier, finally a movie that will make less.
@RealLyre Previews make it look like he has a lot of screen time yet OW is decreasing. So his screen time has nothing to do with it. It may have to do with legs when the word gets out but most people don't know that he isn't prominent yet.

Venom proved critics wrong. FB2 proved critics right.

Okay for those of you who are saying that it's a bad number, what exactly were you expecting? 60 million seems right where most prognosticators were predicting. So I don't know why everyone is starting off doom and gloom.
60M is quite a drop from the first movie's 74M and especially bad because they brought in Dumbledore to boost the boxoffice. Most people here expected FB2 to go up thanks to his return. It was later when trailer came out and buzz was barely detectable that they started to think it may go down from FB. And now fandom reaction sealed the deal. RT Audience Score is shit for a movie with built-in fandom made for fans. It isn't TLJ bad (yet) but it points at mixed WOM.

Depp is a non-factor as already pointed out. The factor are bland characters from the previous movie as well as that movies don't know what they want to be, lighthearted standalones about different kind of beasts or a sprawling Good vs Evil epic that builds up across several movies. This will be WB's POTC. Dom drop but steady or increased OS.

Beasts with it's strong HP fan-base starting sub 80% is not a good sign.

ASIB was always expected to perform better dom due to country music. BR was always expected to be a global monster. Nobody ever expected ASIB to do BR numbers OS. or dom numbers for the matter.

I have to concede, Solo under 400M dom is shock of the century to be sure but a welcome one.
