Underwhelming debit makes a lot of sense with how D+ shows have been. WV is still the best and this is tapping into some nostalgia for that, I think it will grow/hold stronger than usual and put up solid final viewership numbers especially compared to budget. but that will all depend on remaining good so no guarantees of course

The reason they put “from the people who brought you [X movie you liked]” instead of “from studio so and so” is because nobody knows or particularly cares about studio so and so directly. And even then I bet it has almost no impact. People go to see a movie based on the premise or promos looking interesting/good to them and later on buzz from people (reviewers and then GA WOM) who’ve seen it. Take any trailer and replace the studio logo and association with past liked movies with some pretty much any other and you’ll get basically identical performance. Disney/Pixar are exceptions so waht becasue of the long history and quality creating their own kind of cultural aspect but even then something like Frozen or Encanto or Toy Story 1 or Inside Out 1 would have been similar hits if they were blue sky or dream works or illumination or whatever small ball animation studio you please — the movie itself is what audiences liked, followed by the trailer and clips that are a function of the movie itself rather than the studio, and that’s what drives the business

If it was the same movie just produced from blue sky It would have grossed like 99% the same. Only weirdos like us even know what animation studio any nonPixar/WDAS is from

TOne had a 6M Friday…

Furthermore many many of their past works have sold as many tickets OW as this needed for $50M. Wouldn’t have been particularly remarkable in the scope of the studio history or anything. That said it looks like high 30s with some storm and scheduling damage, quite a fine outcome

Looks like 653.0 barring any double features

Yday was 1.25 so 2 would be only +60, #notarecord

Show has been good so far, as expected. Getting acceptable chatter/reception, key will be holding quality and building buzz in midseason

Spectacular hold for dpw. May do like 1.4M weeks here into ~3M wknd, setting up low-mid 640s finish

this is correct, but awkward that there’s a relatively persistent visual illusion of having 6 fingers 🤣

And with that, DPW move into 2nd place among the MCU for weekend top 5s: NWH 13 DPW 9 BP1, BP2 8 Also a little check up on the TA-JW streak of DOM finishes: Still no two consecutive wknds with the same winner yet, though that is about to come to an end this weekend unless they randomly expand DPW for zero reason 😛 Still, relatively confident that there is no other group of 5 in a row DOM grossers with this property. Neat! In fact the wknd winners are even more evenly distributed than that with one for JW and 2 each for DPW, TA, Barbie, and IO2

220M week, +10%. Holiday? In any case now aiming for perhaps 5.6ish or another ~3.5M USD relative to sun cume

No no no, my bad

I didn’t do anything but quote your comment exactly as it was 😛

Sorry, lmao wut. Somebody’s about to lose prophet status 👀
