    But thankfully, as per Wikipedia, "Another universe could possibly be created by random quantum fluctuations or quantum tunneling in roughly 10^10^10^56 years." Booking my tickets for Universe 2.0 Earth 2.0 local corresponding cinema equivalent for the year 1+(10^10^10^56). See you all there! (Until it gets delayed again.)
  2. Marathon
    Even when the universe reaches maximum point of entropy... New Mutants gets delayed again.

    With E3 canceled, it's hard to see how WW84 would still open in June. And if WW84 moves, then so could the July releases as well. Already no tentpoles in April, and now we could have no tentpoles being released in May, June, even July. An awful situation for exhibitors all over the world.
  4. Marathon
    Tentpoles to be postponed indefinitely? You would need to see a prolonged period of improvement in the global coronavirus situation and/or the announcement of a working remedy to have any confidence in a global motion picture release right now. A summer without blockbusters? Only indies/low-budget fare...

    A 50% drop is an uninspiring one, especially coming from a less-than-stellar opening and a possible Valentine's Day inflation. Bleh.

    Gotham City Sirens would work very well indeed if the leads had awesome chemistry. But the budget would be quite a bit higher than BoP due to all the CGI and practical sets required by Ivy. Hard to see that movie happening in the current circumstances which is a shame...
  7. Marathon
    That drop for BoP is MeH (or even BaD considering the opening?). The movie can't catch a break. On a more positive note, the audience score for Sonic is holding steady at 94%.
  8. Marathon
    At least the audience score is healthy at 94%. Hopefully the Sonic stans can convince plenty of walk-ups during the weekend.

    Overseas actuals are usually adjusted upwards, so yeah, that's a disappointment. Hopefully it can still muster at least a decent hold next weekend.

    Harley's fanbase skews young and female. It's an odd decision by DC/WB to have this film be R rated for no good reason. Anyways, I'll probably be seeing the film on Tuesday, see also how much interest there is amongst the general populace after the weekend.
  11. Marathon
    Vietnam, South Korea, and Philippines, according to IMDb.

    As I suspected, Finland's opening was massively OD-heavy. Despite the crazy business on OD, the overall opening (162 243 admissions) came slightly under TLJ (168 312 admissions). Both openings were 5-day. TFA opened (5-day) with 202 681 admissions back in 2015. TLJ finished its run with 467 219 admissions. The reception I've heard from a few people has ranged from alright to mixed. So the end total won't probably differ much from TLJ, maybe slightly under.
  13. Marathon
    If it does better here than TLJ (too early to say yet) then yes, it would be an outlier vis-à-vis rest of Europe. But as I said, too early to tell just yet. Let's see the full OW (if it's OD-frontloaded) and of course the effect of WOM.
  14. Marathon
    That's strange. The weekend showtimes at the biggest theater chain have only very little sell-outs. I guess this opening is massively OD-heavy, then.
  15. Marathon
    European performances are lining up pretty similarly? Looking at my market's weekend pre-sales (not disastrous but kind of meh nevertheless) makes me think Finland's performance won't be too dissimilar from the rest of Europe seen so far. Of course, Xmas being just around the corner might deflate the weekend numbers a bit, but still.

    I can't orientate to the scales used in this. They all look like shrunken cat people, not just cat people. That's a somewhat unsettling feeling, even if you get used to the CGI/digital fur technology. But, I think I might still give it a shot. Do It For Digital Fur Technology = DIFDFT.

    This will actually be one of the most intriguing runs to follow this December. A sequel to a lightning-in-a-bottle(?) film, which already opened in a handful of overseas markets with an interesting variety of results (an underperformance in China but generally solid to even great numbers elsewhere). This week especially with the domestic opening and the holds in already opened overseas markets make it must-observe stuff at the box office.
  18. Marathon
    Yeah, $100m OS seems like a good prediction.
  19. Marathon
    Taylor and her catnip are worth the price of admission alone.
  20. Marathon
    CA trailers lacked conviction... offering mostly generic spy action with a bit of soapboxing on top. Not exactly a riveting combo. Unless you were a stan of the lead actors, the trailers offered very little urgency to hit the cinema.
  21. Marathon
    I had forgotten Ford v Ferrari opens this weekend in most places, whoops. That might make $15m a pipe dream, but anything between $13-15m will be obviously great.
  22. Marathon
    How much can we hope for this coming weekend? Is $15m possible?
  23. Marathon
    @RJ 95 Finland's multi is now 6.08x. From a 3-day opening.
  24. Marathon
    In my market Joker has now spent six weeks as #1. Will surpass Endgame this week to become the most watched movie of 2019 and the most watched CBM of all time.
  25. Marathon
    The USD was very weak until the latter half of 2014 (when it started strengthening) due to a variety of factors, including extremely low interest rates and money printing by the Fed. Since then the Fed hasn't been as aggressive about keeping a lid on the currency (others increased their easing measures as well though).
