Rotten is bad, imo. 60 is bad too, you’r ethe first person I’ve seen suggest otherwise. 65 I guess you could describe as being on the low end of medium, but... that’s less than 2 out of 3 critics giving it a fresh review. It’s only “decent” compared to expectations of 20-40 (where 75% of the recent movies in that universe had landed).

Psssh, this is the kind of baloney that leads to... *checks notes* ..living a long and happy life!

From the weekend thread. Big problem with RoJ is that Jafar was meh. Becoming a genie and trapped in the lamp for a while could you an excuse to recast and reflavor the character maybe.

Return of Jafar runtime: 69 minutes King of Thieves runtime: 81 minutes You could just incorporate ideas from both into a single live-action sequel (and also beef up Jasmine’s role seeing as she’s the best character).

He’s just angling for it to do well so he can get cast in the King of Thieves remake 😛

Monday above true Friday, very healthy internal weekend behavior as befits the high audience reception metrics. Wish I could find out how common it was to have Mon over true Friday, but with all the sites showing the stupid Thursday+Fri figures instead it’s too much of a hassle for me.

Godzilla Pulse doesn’t look great, but can’t compare Mon to Mon for obvious reasons. Can compare end of Mon numbers to last week end of Sun numbers, but I’d say just wait for Tues.

Very medium. Maybe like 40th percentile imo.

This means that in-release vs in-release comps from 2014 should be reasonable, and presale vs presale comps. Presale vs in-release, not so much.

“Critics are getting tired of these live action remakes” is a pretty different claim than “critics are biased against Disney.” I doubt many people who agree with the former (of which I am one) think that that has anything to do with how critics treat: MCU Star Wars Pixar WDAS Disney non-remake live action You’re conflating a plausible narrow claim with a different, much broader, wrong one (imo).

There’s no right and wrong, but audience is much closer to the average opinion because there are considerable more of them. There’s not some written on stone tablets objectively correct assessment of the movie, but if you want to know “if I picked somebody at random are they likely to like the movie” — as a statistical matter — audience is clearly much more valuable than critic.

17 PT 5/27/19 (End of Memorial Mon) 1 51.9% Aladdin 2 12.5% John Wick:Chapter 3 - Parabellum 3 10.8% Avengers: Endgame 4 7.7% Pokémon Detective Pikachu 5 3% Booksmart

It’s literally rotten with top critics and all critics. Score below 6.

It’s easy, just bit a ticket 😉

Oof. This might be the funniest post in this whole thread.

Ended with 993, (+42M). Endgame does still seem likely to be below 1300. We’ll see how things go over next month, but seems safe to say that Endgame is #1 first run ever and may be #1 overall or may not depending on what Disney wants to do.

What are the highest grossing franchises in China? MCU I think ~18.4B¥, obvious #1, but not sure what would round out the rest of the top 5. F&F I guess #2, maybe Transformers 3? Any local franchises muscle those out?

Aladdin will have something like 75M from pure F, Sat, and Mon. A really great drop would be 40% from that for ~45M, which would be ~-50% from the official 3-day,

I’m actually pretty unsurprised by it landing 110-115.

17 PT 5/26/19 (End of Sun) 1 51.2% Aladdin 2 12.6% John Wick:Chapter 3 - Parabellum 3 12% Avengers: Endgame 4 7.3% Pokémon Detective Pikachu 5 3.2% Booksmart Not sure how things will move on the holiday Mon, but a bit surprised to see Endgame within striking distance of Wick today. Overall not much movement. Think we’ll see Zilla show up Tuesday.

Dark Phoenix is releasing into a dead continuity, with a bunch of characters that X-men fans know will be rebooted in a handful of years. If it does small numbers I don’t think anyone will be too surprised about it.

There was absolutely 0 indication of that in their post. So, I mean, I guess this is the most reasonable assumption, but it’s nothing more than that and you can see why their post was confusing.

It’s too early for me. It you said 1.3-1.5 and then gave a breakdown which added to 800-1B.

Huge % of people saw Incredibles and thought “I want a sequel.” Then half a dozen years later happen to be think about it out of the blue and think,”damn, how cool would a sequel be.” Not a lot of people watch TLK and think “wow, I hope they remake this in CGI in 25 years.” I’m not saying it’ll do bad, but I think there is a very wide range this far out. Gimme some reviews and some Ps and we can narrow things a bit more, but you can never remove that much uncertainty until the OW is happening. Last several years are absolutely rife with movies doing way more or way less than this board though a week before debut.
