They’re probably trolling. It’s so ridiculous that I didn’t even bother with that post. Almost every season of American Idol or The Voice has at least a few come on and attempt to sing a Whitney song. I never hear anyone sing Fantasy or whatever else they mentioned in the post. Everyone is entitled to their opinion so there’s that.

Well her other movies mostly targeted black audiences, so I’m not sure they would appeal internationally. Cinderella was a mega hit on tv and has withstood the test of time. I didn’t see Kevin anywhere near that project. Not taking anything away from Kevin. I love him. However, remember he wanted Whitney and only Whitney for The Bodyguard. He waited a whole year for her to finish her tour when he could have easily gone with another actress or star.

Britney Spears was famous but Whitney was a transcendent talent. She is one of few artists with COUNT THEM… THREE DIAMOND albums. I think Britney has two. Whitney is the only black artist with that honor. She is the only artist with seven consecutive number one hits. Some diminish her accomplishments because of her later years. She appealed to many, and has the top selling gospel album of all time. Plus she made movies. She produced and starred in Cinderella which was at one point the most watched movie on the ABC network. Whitney crossed over and appealed to the white audience and international audiences. Correct me if I am wrong but I don’t think Britney ever appealed to black audiences.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread (December 2021 - July 2023)

That’s a pretty rough day for I Wanna Dance. It dropped against all comps. I was hoping it would be a break out hit. -

Based on these numbers, if they come to fruition, how much can we expect for these two for the Friday to Sunday and then for the Friday to Monday? -
Bobby was a terrible husband to Whitney. No one in her family ever accused him of introducing her to drugs. The public assumed it. He was so insecure and jealous of her fame. I remember reading that she had to change the name of her production company to Brownhouse because of his insecurity. He abused her both physically and emotionally. Stop defending him. With that said, I hope there is more concentration on her music and voice rather than the salacious stuff. She truly had the best voice I’ve ever heard. I can’t wait to see this movie. Whitney had a one time sexual encounter with Robyn Crawford- according to her book. That encounter happened before she was famous. To our knowledge there were never any other women. So I think out of respect for Whitney, people shouldn’t categorize her sexuality for better or for worse. Best to just tell the story and let people take what they will from it. I do believe Whitney was abused by her cousin. I think most girls growing up on the late 80s and 90s were fans of hers and I am no exception.

I just saw this. Rentals, dvd sales and subscriptions probably made WB very happy with their decision, even though most fans were unhappy with the day and date. Bravo! At least Variety have WW84 part of the headline. https://variety.com/2022/film/global/james-bond-wonder-woman-uk-home-entertainment-2021-1235147026/amp/

Weekday Numbers (1/3-6) | 7.9 Spider Monday
Ms Lady Hawk replied to Eric Atreides's topic in Numbers and Data
I think Spider-Man’s numbers are fine. At this point, does its dailies even matter? It’s already a massive/top ten grossing film of all time. Fantastic run!!! With that said, I’ve had disagreements with Legion too. But I know that he is here just having fun and providing his interesting perspective per usual. No need to name call. We don’t want to derail this thread. -
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. I’m very saddened by the Matrix’s box office but I realize that it’s been sacrificed at the alter of steaming. If HBOMAX gets more subscribers then Warner is more than willing to make that trade. 32.5 million cow NWH would be quite an outstanding boost from the estimated 30.1 for today. Considering Zack in the tracking thread informed us that at Alpha, the walkups were excellent yesterday, then today was even better. Maybe there’s hope yet for tomorrow to reach well over 20 million.
