So I know different scores mean different things for different genres. Is that B- not as bad as it looks? ‘Cause it doesn’t look great to me.

HUSTLERS (2019)

Isn’t Mal2 below 40 on BOP?

Now that we’re closer I’m getting more big sequel drop vibes. Dunno if this even beats Shazam!

If the weekend is actually more than 10x Thursday it couldn't be a clearer sign that weekdays are being depressed by runtime.

Film festival crowdpleaser doesn’t always mean actual crowds crowdpleaser — but the verified score is just 344 reviews for now, pretty early. Maybe it’ll go to 80s (fine). Maybe it’ll go to like 65, and that wouldn’t bode so well.

Right about where previews were expected, now I just need a slightly better than expected IM. It2 as expected. That Doctor Sleep forecast is right around what I was thinking too.

What are people thinking for Hustlers IM?

Oh my god, this sounds fucking intense. It sounds like you saved your friend’s life though, definitely a good thing!

RIP Definiteky for the best that that that club die though

Seems like Well Go doesn’t report US dailies, not too shocking. @Charlie Jatinder, is that something you can see? Would be appreciated.

Missing 200 from here would be really surprising. Reception is clearly better than The Nun, but the Nun’s multiplier from the 6-day would still be 198M. For 220.... well, we’ll see how the weekend goes, but it’s dicier.

Creed starred Johnny Storm. This stars other Johnny Storm. Coincidence, or destiny?

Yep, pretty expected.

It 1 was +30% in 2017 with the same calendar configuration, with 2 more years of Discount Tuesday growth +46% is pretty much exactly what you’d expect. We’ll see how much it can hold onto Wednesday, but the Tues:wknd multiplier should be weaker than It 1’s x5.25

Bingo

First time this millennia that we even need to bother with this qualifier, right? Any movies out there lurking in the rest of the year that could break out to be #1 movie overall 2019?

Happened in my mind days ago, celebrated then 😛 Indeed an an incredible run, and more surprising than The Wandering Earth for me. I kind of hope it makes the yearly top 10.

The numbers are what they are. People can draw their own conclusions. Like many movies, It 2’s performance is not well suited to hyperbole. It’s not doing bad. It’s not even doing medium. But it’s not doing GREAT either. If you try to force everything into either bad or great you lose the ability to talk reasonably about movie that are doing good.

Actually I think WOM is fine and that’s a bad tweet. Monday is down more than the weekend because the runtime depresses weekday gross imo.

I can definitely get dragged into it too far with people that it’s probably better to leave things be... but I think Lorddemaxus and Real Lyre are pretty reasonable posters from what I recall, so I just wanted to be clear on what my actual positions are here. I don’t want It to do bad. I don’t think it’s doing bad. It’s not lighting the world on fire like the first one did and some people hoped this one would, but that’s A okay. Most successful movies are successful without lighting the world on fire. Most sequels to movies that hugely broke out have more restrained performances.

I’m not rooting against It. This whole narrative that seems to be developing that I root against non-Disney films or something is bizarre and inaccurate. Generally speaking, I would rather that most films do great. That’s better for consumers, theaters, studios, etc. However, I also don’t use a film being non-Disney as a reason to think it’ll do better than is likely, or a reason to say it’s doing great if it’s only doing good. Maybe that’s what people are picking up on, but it’s not my fault that few non-Disney movies have done great this year. I was cheerleading for The Upside and JW3, which are the two best non-Disney runs of the year off the top of my head.

I was wondering if underlined was a copy paste error from last week (when the 4-day threw things off by a day). This seems to suggest so?
