Cooper Legion

Maybe DS2 and Thor are doing more damage than I had expected too. Hopefully reviews can provide a big boost with fence sitters — both ambivalent marvel fans and ga

Good relative to BP YT or good relative to Thor?

Serious. Yeah maybe later days will turn it around, but having low awareness around sales starting us a bad indicator in itself.

Same as sales -- awful

Seen some really strong revisionary copium on this one recently

17 hrs after release, trailer has 620k likes and #3 trending.

Below Thor in Philly MCU really has died. Good news is, seems like saga 2 may deserve it. I’ll hope for 2026 redemption arc and some nice individual movies/run in meantime.

Triple confirmed, thank you bullet train 🔥 Upcoming week: Lyle Smile Amsterdam The Woman King Avatar Don't Worry Darling Bros Barbarian Bullet Train Top Gun/pets edited: I expect some direct competition in Lyle may push pets below top Gun, could go either way there Ponniyin Selvin will probably be 9th place but I don’t recommend it for reporting uncertainty reasons.

They have picked up like 40 bans in about as many days

So basic expectations settings: NWH ~18M prev sales first 24 hr, ~51M prev DS2 ~ 9M prev sales first 24hr, ~36M prev Geomean of these would be 43M prev, roughly 12.5M 24hr. 2:1 weighted toward DS2 would be ~11M, 40.5M. I would like to see at least 40M for 220-240ish, so will be looking for $$~+20% of DS2 with anything more being gravy. On optimistic side I think one could argue for matching DS2 x4 24:final, in which case 10M/+10%ish could be okay. Then throw in the longer window here than for those 2 and even par with DS2 first 24hr could easily turn into a top 5 OW. So: <.75MoM24hr: awful <MoM24 hr: unhappy +0-15%: alright, wait and see +15-30%: great >1.3MoM24hr: spectacular

Sure, straight people didn’t show up. Seems pretty predictable based on the marketing. Gay people also did not show up. This, too, seems fairly predictable based on the marketing. Maybe the movie is awesome, but it really didn’t seem to know how to choose 2 minutes of clips that made it look awesome.

The strongest performing movie of the week for fantasy movie league is… Minions. One does assume that these are about to have a crocodile sized bite taken out of them — probably ending right around DM2 and SLOP, like a mil short of batsy

Thinking 95%+ chance here. Finally got my Q1 mojo back after a rough Q2

Woah that Saturday is nuts. + nearly 40% If it’s storm related other stuff should also come in higher than it looked from Friday,

Morbius did 5.7 after turning out to be one of the shiftiest CBMs in a decade and having the lack of effective NWH connection spoiled. 7-8 after d1 seems quite reasonable.

Yep. Was gonna be hard to miss 20 from that Fri, ests we're being pretty silly. Rip the 19 streak though, sad

6.5M wknd for 46.2ish cume, 10M trailing 7D. Add 15-20ish for ~65. ~2.7x True OWeek multi. Weekdays were a smidge weakside, otherwise right on target normal behavior. And these are true too — same dynamic Harriet and Simon.

Saturday should be more ~7M I think

Suddenly obsessed with these G rated romcoms

Just the facts ma’am

But the 200 threshold is magic, demonstrably impossible to miss 600 from it

Also I hope m37 is doing all right (iirc they live in Florida, and didn’t submit this week) but I was looking at yearly stats and I had to swap Wombi in to the triple threat instead.

My whole column was wrong for some reason. Fixed it and I’m looking pretty good for a triple 👀

Think I was talking with Jat before DWD opened how I wanted 4 in a row 19s Smile probably gonna ruin though tbh
