Shazam! | April 5, 2019 | 21st Most Profitable Film of 2019
cdsacken replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
I'm thrilled to see it. Definitely going opening weekend in the UK. I even jumped in on the prediction above 275 million (276 😉) but that's my optimistic prediction of 276/800+. I could easily see something more like 225/600+ too which is not bad at all for the small budget. Mediocre is Alita box office wise and there has been much worse like John Carter or who could forget the dumpster fire of Stealth? One thing I will help a lot is Zach Levi. I want a Chuck movie! -

Wednesday Numbers Thread | VERY EARLY:CM $8.5-9M
cdsacken replied to DeeCee's topic in Numbers and Data
Thursday projection like 8.3 million? Gotg 2 dropped 5% after 7.5 million first Wednesday then had a 65 million 2nd weekend. If it follows the same drop it would do 68.3 give or take. Granted that was in early May and 2017. -
Shazam! | April 5, 2019 | 21st Most Profitable Film of 2019
cdsacken replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
Agreed. I can't wait to see it but absolutely no one is talking about in England. I really hope it does well (Comic wars are bullcrap I loved Aquaman and really liked Captain Marvel). Curious to see how it does globally. What America likes the most doesn't always translate well globally. Realist in me says it does way below Wonder Woman but hope I'm wrong. -
China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30
cdsacken replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in China At The Box Office
I mean come on. That's just dumb. I liked Captain Marvel but Aquaman was better, Black Panther was so much better. For me easily #1 of all marvel films. Rewatchability of that film is so high. Yet Venom is near dead last of all comicbook adaptions I have seen (50+) and it did awesome. What makes sense in America doesn't necessarily make sense in China. -
Moviepass and its Impact on the Box Office
cdsacken replied to Eric Atreides's topic in Box Office Discussion
If I had to guess absolutely never. Subscription model will expand considerably. Crazy people spend $50 to finance an iPhone XS, $25 for unlimited movies is so cheap in comparison. -
Moviepass and its Impact on the Box Office
cdsacken replied to Eric Atreides's topic in Box Office Discussion
It's worked in England for years (I live in Cambridge and had a pass back in 2013). Movie pass was the dumbest model ever. I had it at $30 a month because it was awesome and I knew it would die or end up worthless. AMC controls so much and their margins are crazy high on food. People with passes spend a lot more than casual users and have bring full paying friends. AMC also knows the can slowly raise prices and keep almost everyone. Even with 700k users they are making money as we speak. -
Unless one thought it was going to tank big time. You nailed that prediction. Thoughts on 2nd weekend numbers. Maybe bit less than 65 million say 64/63?

I'd love to see 900 million WW beating Wonder woman but that seems ridiculous. Then again China somehow like a horrible movie in Venom, maybe they will like this one. -
China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30

In China seems more likely than Shazam WW over CM. I wonder what Shazam will do in China? I literally have no idea or expectation at all. Hopefully good. -

I would be absolutely shocked if it even sniffed 900 million. I'd guess 750 million worldwide and that's probably super generous but I'm optimistic. Looks awesome. -
China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30
cdsacken replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in China At The Box Office
It's not like they have any better taste. Venom was pure trash. Kinda funny to watch one but trash indeed. Every market has it's quirks, China as well. Can't wait to see Wandering Earth though. -
I imagine it will do very good but I don't love horror films, even critically acclaimed ones. My wife loathes them and not a chance I would ever let my kid see it. Potential is limited for several reasons but I bet it's great for that genre. Get out was so creepy for me but good nonetheless. I imagine US would be the same.

Exactly my question. People say Larson was wooden but Hemsworth got hammered by many for Thor 1 which all loved him in Thor 3. I'm all for different directors but the movie was good. Too often it seems internal biases skew peoples opinions. I went into Aquaman with so many saying it was mediocre but fun, yet I loved it. I went into this film with super negative and super positive films and fell into the middle camp, I enjoyed it but thought it could have been better.

China Box Office Thread | Oppenheimer-August 30
cdsacken replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in China At The Box Office
Sure except horrendous films like Venom did great there. Venom is easily one of the worst comic book type films I have ever seen and I love Tom Hardy. Saw it once and not a chance I would ever see it again. I have no more respect for it anymore than European or American markets. People have different tastes, for me Ant Man and the Wasp was incredibly boring and mediocre. I don't put Captain Marvel anywhere near the Hulk and that but it's nowhere near the top either. IMO of course. -
Probably normal just such a drastic change from Saturday. Black panther barely even dropped. Infinity war dropped 15.7%, Antman and the Wasp dropped 21.3% with a much weaker opening. Thor 3: 27.4% Spiderman HC: 21.2% again a lot smaller open Gotg3: 23.7% with a smaller opening If it was 40.0 it wouldn't look that big despite that really being a relatively insignificant difference.
