So it's gonna be a Marvel Movie?

Here’s hopping Ikaris doesn’t invite any of them to a wedding.

Look at us discussing Comic Book Movies and being civil. We can do it, folks! 🥳 😝 Chloe Zhao!! THAT CAST!! Jack Kirby Inspired Art and Costumes!! Oh and Real Locations!! I know Kevin is super pumped about that.

Because I have to drive 100 miles to see it into COVID Mass 🥺 (I might go mid week when there less chance of a crowd) As for Simu, I am actually going to remember something @Plain Old Tele said: making movies is hard; even bad ones. As someone who does follow his Twitter, he is clearly so excited and so proud of this movie. He undoubtably worked really hard on it. It seems perfectly reasonable to be a little peeved when someone tries to undermine that.

Why you don’t watch TV spots! 😂

I started this process like three years ago, and it’s just awesome. I love going in blind.

That’d be fun. Yelena should have her own flick.

Good for her and her agent! Get that money! 😘

Idk. I never saw Aloha.

Something Taika says.

There was literally a moment and that’s why I laughed so hard, because I thought of you.

I just got back from Free Guy. Such a breath of fresh air. Now that’s how you do a modern rom-com. I totally get why its WOM is great.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!! What a SWEET SWEET FANTASY!!

I was going to go last night, but I went on an adventure instead. The title company for our closing forgot the checks for my client. My Mom, who I worked with, came home and said they were really upset. She was so mad since the Title Company’s office was 44 miles away, and they said they’d “just mail them.” I said the hell they were, and went to get them. Took a nice cruise in traffic. (No really, there was an accident that caused a six mile back up on the Turnpike that I was frantically trying to nav around. 🤣 By the time I get home, there’s no way I was going to get back up to the movie theater. But my clients were super happy. And I got to spend time with my car so I was super happy. And now we’re going out this afternoon to get out of the heat.

My theater plans to reopen at the end of September (I think they were aiming for venom). so I also agree with this. It’s a great new date. 😇

I don’t know. I think the Spin is just as interesting, because that’s a big part of the industry.

Why do the nerds on this board give a shit about any of this stuff? 😘

But do most people know what the actual number is? My point is that you can stick “Labor Day record” on TV spots without people really reading the fine print. The headline is good. That’s my point.

I don’t know if it was here or the tracking thread, but I pointed out before that the non-Covid Holiday Record for Labor Day is 30M OW. I think that’s an Easy enough hurdle for this to jump over, which means that regardless if it does 35 million or it does 80 million, they still can spin it in a positive light. So I don’t quite get the doom and gloom.

I come for an area, even before COVID, that was VERY walk up heavy. I am going to be honest, and this just an Anecdotal feeling, But I would not be pre-buying tickets to the movies right now. There’s too much uncertainty in the air. I have done it twice, and both times I had to cancel, and both times I didn’t get a cash refund, I got credits to use again (it was for In The Heights and Black Widow in IMAX). Since then, we basically bought tickets either the night before or the morning of when we went to go see a show. Just food for thought.

Me: Eh, Bad Batch is fine but not my scene. Maybe I am done with Star Wars LucasFilm: Do you a want a live action Rebels Season 5?! Me: SHUUUUUTT UUUP AND TAKE MY $$$$$$$$

So is the top five is standing after X amount of lists, or are you saying that those are the top five from each list and you revealed 15 so far? I’m just trying to figure out how to read that graph

I, for one, am very excited and will be there Thursday Night 😇

I just checked. Halloween from 2007 holds the record with 30.5M. So even in COVID times, this isn’t a banger weekend. Anything above 30M breaks a record and gets “Record Labor Day Weekend” press. So I feel like Expectations are a little out of whack for this, combined with I think people Overreacting to The Suicide Squad this weekend. I also don’t get why people are convinced the marketing is dropping the ball. I’m seeing commercials for it. I’m seeing the trailer before the movie in the movie theater. And as we saw with the suicide squad this weekend, even if you spend $100 million in advertising it doesn’t mean you’re going to get $100 million box off is opening weekend.
