    I don't know if a more "photorealistic" animation style would have gotten more people into the theaters, but, as has been said, that probably would have ballooned the budget beyond what the Transformers franchise can handle these days.
  2. Marathon
    There's been a near-constant influx of Transformers animated series ever since the franchise's inception. Maybe there isn't much urgency to go see an animated Transformers movie despite some novelty such as bigger role for Elita One etc.

    Edit: nvm.

    Twisters might have done better OS if it had better release date(s). Not a 'high priority' movie for many, so it got immediately lost in the July shuffle overseas.
  5. Marathon
    Crazy performances in Europe and LatAm.

    This is starting to resemble some "traditional" CBM runs: strong in anglophone countries and Mexico, somewhat tepid in Europe – the "only" major difference to years past is how some Asian markets are not providing large/outsized grosses.

    In my own market D&W is in the 2nd place on the current best-selling tickets' list (IO2 at the top, although it only opened here on the 17th of this month).
  8. Marathon
    Somewhat soft numbers so far, and with the Olympics starting up, getting D&W to a billie globally will be a huge challenge, unless domestic really overperforms.
  9. Marathon
    Only two markets doing over $1m... 😶‍🌫️
  10. Marathon
    Yeah, the timing of the release was odd when August is completely wide open.

    Really bad numbers for Furiosa both domestically and internationally. There was just no interest in this movie. I guess people got their Mad Max fill already with Fury Road.
  12. Marathon
    From the trailers Furiosa looked mostly like a recast Fury Road. And we already have Fury Road at home. Maybe the movie will differentiate itself from the og upon watching but the trailers did a very poor job of alleviating concerns about possible redundancy of the whole affair.

    Nearly spat out my drink when I saw the budget for The Fall Guy. F*****g hell! 🫠 Going to be lots of red ink on this one. At least Uni will have Despicable Me in the summer.

    Webillions.
  15. Marathon
    Madame Web starts with 69% audience score on RT. Ouch. No Morbillions in sight for this one.

    It's fun to describe movies without reference to IP: 'A giant lizard with pink energy powers teams up with a giant gorilla wearing a power gauntlet in order to take down a giant orangutan.'

    Disney have had so much red ink this year they could drop all of it into the Red Sea and it would turn literally into the Red Sea.
  18. Marathon
    Damn! 😳
  19. Marathon
    79% drop is 🤪 absolutely fucking crazy, LMAO! Even if you factor in loss of PLFs, etc yada yada this is total, complete and utter rejection!

    Hopefully Sony will be as shameless as ever about sprinkling its movie with Sony product placement so it can be used as a drinking game.
  21. Marathon
    Sure would love to have a crystal ball right now and look into the opening weekends of Cap 4 and Thunderbolts. Perhaps the landscape for live action cape stuff recovered or became even more passé. Interesting times ahead. (FWIW, I don't think Deadpool 3 will tell much about the state of live action superhero stuff because the movie pretty much sells itself. Even Superman: Legacy might "sell itself" if it looks impressive. The newer / lesser known characters are the question mark...)
  22. Marathon
    Overseas might finish below what CM1 opened to domestically...
  23. Marathon
    Edit: nvm.
  24. Marathon
    Maybe the mods could merge the two threads.
  25. Marathon
    Three markets and in all of them the WOM is really poor. I think we can already extrapolate that the WOM is unlikely to be recommendation level "good" anywhere...
