Legion Again

Nah, BvS was basically 2.0x Morbius is coming for a hellboy-esque multi… without the excuse of wk3 endgame 👀 Fantastic Four 18% all C- 2.18x (summer) Jonah Hex 20% all C+ 1.96x Ghost Rider 2 31% all C+ 2.34x Green Lantern 45% all B 2.19x (summer) Max Steel 48% all B 1.75x Hellboy 48% all audience C 1.82x Dark Phoenix 56% all (64% verified) B- 2.0x (summer) BvS 63% all B 1.99x

10% inflation+20% admits increase will pretty much get the job done.

S2 is more like 75M. S1 would have been like 53 or something without the double holiday boost. S1 was a first entry and didn’t leave that much hook for S2 whereas there is a big hook for S3

I think it will

Tired: 199 flop Wired: 207 flop

No but more seriously, Ambulance clearly is not a superhero movie. The lighthearted quippy action comedy with super powered blue energy speedster, yellow sidekick, red energy super strength antagonist and robot army though…

Inspired: Everything (Everywhere all at once) is a multiverse movie

Tired: biggest post pandemic nonsuperhero open Wired: Sonic is a superhero movie

I think history of expansions suggests quite clearly that it would be making a fair bit less on 500 and a fair bit more on 2200. It's a small enough theater count that you have actual "I want to go but no theaters near me" situations rather than just 4 instead of 3 nearby, which don't really matter.

Early days but I think Ring and pepper have some pretty good nums this week.

Yeah LC 100 was a little in doubt once it missed the A-. This weekend looks fine for it, Morbius should shield it from too steep screen loss next weekend Speaking of: wk1 47M wk2 11.5M wk3 4.5M rest 5M Would miss 1.75x 😳

Should take us to low 70s I suppose, pretty solid.

It’s not my fault if nonIP is often underwhelming financially. I’m happy to go after IP flops as well and I do so plenty, along with praising positive performance from IP or nonIP as appropriate. I don’t really have an emotional investment in the state of the industry being what it is, but I’m here for numbers — I’m not gonna ignore or sugarcoat the dire financial situation of some movies just to make some people who like them feel better 🤷‍♂️

Transformers 1 was pretty solid. Undermined by the later crap.

Sue them for false advertising tbh.

It's not very dramatic drama anyway, I think Claire would be dissapointed

5-6M this weekend is basically hitting expectations with a very strong pta

I actually do hate Morbius though. I hope deadline is right about it, 2ould be an absolutely legendary 2nd weekend.

I wonder if EEAAO will get a cinemascore (it’s not wide enough this wknd for an automatic one, but it could be commissioned and privately reported). That would have a decent chance at the + from what I can see.

I see it's already been handled, but yeah, pretty simple answer -- pretty clear why the one who comes out of nowhere starting things with personal insults deserves most of the blame/warnings. As for myself, I feel that it's ridiculous to say that I was engaged in "abusive behavior" last weekend, but I am partially in the wrong thos time -- I should have kept NIRD n mind. (I actually do have the "I" covered, but I often click "show comment" since their median comments is mostly positive value). I will rely more upon R and D in the future.

Still hilarious how you think I "hate non-IPs"

Ambulance got treated as a dump by the studios because they knew it would be treated as a dump by the audience. Maybe the marginal dollar of ad spend would have positive ROI. Maybe not.

Cmon what kind of a range is 23-26 😂 That’s 16.75-19.75, almost 20% wide

That’d ruin my 4000+ wide A+ trivia, let’s try a high A
