I think general audience will eat this up. I don't see it falling below 600. The film is visually stunning. Story is tested already. That's it.
Did you enjoy the hindi version. Funny enough my local AMC in the Bay Area also has few showtimes in hindi. I might go for a 2nd run for the hindi version.

Isn't Reeves writing?
Early screen play was Ben. But your right looks like that was put in the trash. Reeves is writing it now.

Few reasons batsmen don’t be good. Christopher Nolan is not directing it. Early screen play was written by freaking Ben Affleck, enough said lol, Robert Pattinson is just a bad cast as Batman.

The same applies to Batman. Would be incredible if the next one can get to 300+ DOM. Gonna be ridiculously tough to ever repeat the admissions of Nolan's Dark Knight or Burton's Batman. Each just sold so many tickets not unlike Spider-man 1 and 2.
I just don’t see it being good with Matt Reeves directing it, Ben affect writing it & Robert Pattinson as the actor.

To me it's not really about toy story being down. It's about the entire box office quarter will be down alot because of toy story not making enough money lol. Quarter was already going to be down and now it will be down more than 5% compared to last year. And that's just bad for theater industry. Especially after the first quarter being a disaster for them.

3.5/5 is a bad toy story movie, you're argument holds no weight here
Lol your being funny here right. @Spaghetti is saying he likes this movie. But he likes the first 3 more than this one. How is that a negative? BTW he didn't say this was a 3.5/5. Most likely if the considered the other 3 around 4.5/5. Then this is like a 4.25/5.

Why will PETS2 have a huge decrease from 1?
Several factors because it's not a new thing anymore, because of competition and parents are planning to take their kids to watch Toy Story 4. Parents only have so much budget especially going in as a family they have to buy multiple tickets.

Pets 2 53 Million
Dark Phoenix 50 million

I am sorry but you cannot compare a thanksgiving release with summer release. Frozen did gangbuster over the holidays and then had open runway in January. This is a different release schedule and competition is different.
If I was comparing them 1 : 1 I would say Aladdin would do 5.97x opening weekend like Frozen. But like you pointed out this isn't the holiday season and other factors of open runway like frozen had. I'm saying aladdin will do 300+ which is only 3.27x opening weekend.

I think aladdin will keep surprising people. But it will mostly be leggy. I think it should do around 45 to 50 million this weekend. At the same time I believe Aladdin will run kinda like Frozen. Frozen only had a opening weekend of 67 million and went on to make 400 million on the box office haha. I think aladdin will easily make 300 million.

Hopefully, Aladdin will SOAR throw this upcoming weekend, and put a big wrecking dent in the box off dreams of Godzilla and Rocketman!
Yayyy what you have against other movies. I want all of them to do well

Critics are writers. The job of writers is to write stuff that their readers would like to read. They don’t come into theatres to entertain themselves. They come into theatres to look for materials they are going to write about. It is their job. Given all the pre-release bad press, they fully anticipated the movie to bomb so when coming into the theatre, they were looking for materials that would justify the movie bombing. With that mindset, it is natural that they would ignore or overlook the good points and focus or exaggerate the bad points of the movie, since they think that’s what their readers would like to read. They were not able to judge that the movie would be such a huge crowd pleaser and public opinion would be completely turned around.
If they were to review the movie now after the public opinion is revealed, the reviews would have been much better.
This is what I was trying to convey in the weekend thread. But no one gets it. Its so clear because so many of the critics wrote about the same negative things people were talking about after the trailers came out. They literally focused on those negatives. But on the contrary those aren't even negatives in the movie. Like Will smith is not bad as Genie, on the contrary he's superb and one of the positives of the movie. So how come the critics after watching the movie are saying that he's bad/ or a negative for the movie. Its so clear they were trying to mimic the audience opinion/sentiment that people had after watching the trailers.

Did I quote you? If not, then no worries.
But this thread is chock full of comments like "Critics are tired of Disney remakes" and "If this came out before BatB, it'd get much better reviews".
Well, let me put it this way. It seems like only last week I was hearing complaints that critics are too easy on Disney films and that they can't be trusted to give 'accurate' reviews when their films are out.
Oh, wait.
Basically what I'm trying to point out is there are number of critics now who plan their write-ups/reviews based on the public sentiment. For me it has nothing to do with Disney but the public sentiment. Like for example End Game is 97% on rotten lol and now this Aladdin 58%. Just pointing out a trend I noticed of following public opinion/sentiment.

So we've now come to the point where Rotten Tomatoes is biased against Disney.
Biased. Against. Disney.
Sigh.
Those are your words. I never brought in Disney to the mix. Just said that some critics were biased based on the fact on how the audience reaction was after the trailers. Is it just a co-incidence that the audience reaction was Will smith looks bad as genie after the trailers and that's what some of the critics stated in their reviews? I mean anyone after watching the movie says will smith didn't do a good job as ginie or didn't fit in hasn't watched the movie.

i find these reviews kind of unfair. will was really great in the movie imho
That's what I keep saying. I don't know why people come out to support those insane reviews. Its clear to anyone's eyes that they were being biased and trying to go with the general flow of trailer reaction.

Seriously do I even need to read the entire reviews after looking at those pull blurbs?

Tried reading the reviews to find out?
Did it still doesn't make any sense. Like I said before they were going with the flow of people's reaction to the trailers instead of actually doing their job and writing an unbiased review.
Some of the reviews:---->
"Smith understandably didn't want to compete with Williams, but as the big, blue, top-knotted Genie, he's uncharacteristically bland. Even the magic carpet in this movie looks bummed out" "
Disney needs three wishes for its live-action "Aladdin" remake: for a better Genie, a better script and a soul."
"After what we've seen and heard from the late, great Robin Williams, Will Smith's act -- even with some special effects -- wears thin rather quickly."

Aladdin went up again...$90m for the 3-day. I know Disney must be very relieved. Exceeded expectations.
Disney = Teflon.
If Aladdin can do this well amid bad early buzz this bodes well for Disney's 2020 which looks to be a down year by a significant margin.
Aladdin's solely doing well because of WoM. I think any big IP can do well if it's well made and audience ends up enjoying it. Don't know what critics were thinking while reviewing the movie.

Only 60 for Godzilla (-_-) Aladdin's probably going to do more than 35 too.

Speechless is powerful. Powerful as Let It Go. Don't know if it will be that big.
Yeah. Looks like Disney underestimated that song. Would have done wonder's in terms of marketing if they released it earlier.

29's great for Aladdin. Looks like it could beat the solo weekend from last year. Solo had a 30% drop Friday to Saturday. If aladdin doesn't drop more than 5% tomorrow that could be awesome. Could get it closer to 110 million weekend.
