Guess a self quote will suffice

Feels like a strawman. People are aware that things *can* go sideways (positively or negatively). That’s why you get your “probably”s, your “looks like”s, your “present outlook X-Y but see how it goes”s. On the other hand, things usually don’t go outside of regular trends. That is what makes them regular trends. Our trackers have been absolutely killing it for years and years, even and perhaps especially during the volatile conditions of the pandemic. So let’s nip this “people are too obsessed with presales” narrative in the bud. It’s the info that is available, use a little discretion, but it’s extremely valuable especially for big releases.

Can never tell if people really believe this or it’s just a fun meme.

Look if we can hit 100 pages then it will open to 260, that is just math.

Probably settling like 88-91? Should be A- with a slim chance of one up or down.

@Cap a fellow TFA lover @Porthos too I guess

I wanted to float GBA, but a little concerned about Ghostbusters fan base even if it isn’t a heavyweight fanbase.

Geeze, what is this actual tracking post doing here. Way out of theme with the pages I just caught up on 😛 I do kind of see the attraction of JC and FG, but I am also wary. They seem more kid/family oriented vs Lost Coty being more adult aimed, though all are nonsequel light action comedy fare. Not like I have another suggestion though - haven’t had a classic adult aimed action romcom in a looooooong time that I can recall.

You didn’t, but the implication seemed to be that we might find out this weekend that audiences couldn’t handle it. If that wasn’t the intention then consider my response irrelevant 👍

Okay, okay, so — I know I pioneered the Begins OW comp back a few weekend threads ago (and thanks to @PenguinXXR and @Porthos for wayback sleuthing assists). That came out to about 140M. Another popular comparison I’ve seen for fairly self-evident reasons is SMH, which also translates to about 140M. But, food for thought — what would Homecoming have opened to if it *wasn’t* MCU? In some ways that is an even better parallel, right? I am thinking maybe like 90-95 translating to… 100-110?

Not loving something isn’t the same as not being able to “handle” it.

The hero we need

Thanks for the inspiration.

This is very fair, but having watched it it's not like Tele is wrong either

Kind of goofy, overlong, and rehashed, but basically competently made archetypally Batman fun. Met my expectations, just not my hopes. B+

135*2.5+50 China, DOM 110*2.7, 700ish?

Some Asian markets have more sophisticated tastes, so they probably won’t enjoy the film as much.

Mate this has been incoming forever.

Wonder if they got confused with the 2M tues+3M Wed OS

Pretty clear that 00s and 10s nostalgia should come after 90s.

I mean, probably not top 3 ow for him right?

Some bold studio should just have shows from noon on Mon Tues Wed and Th while firmly informing the industry that as these are “special fan advance sneak limited events” they are actually part of the Friday OD gross. Just full UK that shit.
