Currently there are 20 movies that have done this and 9 are MCU. So if everything this year pulls through, we can experience a brief moment of perfect balance before Avatar destroys it again (and then everything is Spider-man fail from home’s fault )
Could break to myself, XXR, Wombi, or datpepper depending on how jackass and scream come in… still unreported, that is how small they are this weekend 😆
For next weekend I’d hope to see something like:
Lost City
Batman
RRR
Uncharted
JJK
Dog
NWH
X
Sing
Nile
I think that’s probably the top 10, barring a wild hold from Kashmir files or over performance from infinite storm.
Totally aside from the question of which factors more accurately explain BO performance, the higher star driven success model seems kind of depressing to me. The greater a % of a movie’s performance is explained by a handful of famous people, the less credit goes to, you know, the actual important parts of the movie — premise, characters, plot, so on so on. I know a lot of people lamented the end of the 90s/00s in this regard, but I think it was great.
