The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread (December 2021 - July 2023)

I'd be surprised if they get to 5 unless TSOD has shockingly good legs. But at worst I think they'll do a big Dumbledore/Grindelwald finale to tie-off this era and keep Rowling happy. TSOD would've come in at around $175M if it weren't for COVID. If WB can get that number down to around $150M, I don't think they'll hesitate about another one.
-
It's not a huge number but that's enough to justify going forward if Warner Bros is committed to the IP (which I don't think there's any doubt about). DUNE is a good example. Even if a final FANTASTIC BEASTS film dropped further, it's basically just a write-off towards a Harry Potter legacy sequel/franchise and HBO Max spin-offs.
-
Even if TSOD worst-case-scenarios it in all territories to something like $300M worldwide, I still think there will be another film. WB wants to stay in the Wizarding World (and JK Rowling) business long enough to make it to the inevitable HARRY POTTER AND THE RETURN OF HARRY POTTER. Worst case scenario in my eyes is they do one wrap-up film that drops the FANTASTIC BEASTS focus and ties off Dumbledore vs. Grindelwald.

THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD made $9.1M in previews for a $62.1M weekend. If the high-end NO TIME TO DIE comparison bore out, the same ratio would give THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE $38.6M. FBAWTFT's $8.8M/$74.4M would get TSOD to $47.9M. But that was pre-Covid, who knows how pre-sale heavy it will be with the longer gap, all the usual asterisks. -
Honestly, I would be surprised. The reception I've heard isn't great. It isn't terrible either, but sort of the definition of middling. And the people I know who've seen a cut of it haven't thought it was all that much an improvement on The Crimes of Grindelwald. But, nobody's seen the final cut, and I've been wrong before. Frequently so when it comes to guessing RT scores! I think so. For my many issues with Jo Rowling at present, I'm invested in this world.

*CUT TO: eight years later* Just a couple of quick things: In terms of me disappearing/not disappearing, it's not about getting attention. If I deactivate with notice, people tell me not to do it (or say I deactivated for attention). If I deactivate without notice, people wonder where I went and I feel bad about that. But if I don't deactivate, I get sucked down the Twitter rabbit hole of posting a million times a day, pulling me away from actual life and work things. In no way do I ever think I'm an authority on reviews or fandom. But I do at least know enough people that I think posting what I've heard is of interest to "my audience" - which is 95% superhero movie fans, and a small minority of them are very quick to anger and lashing out. So yeah, it may be pointless, but I figured it wouldn't hurt anybody to try and jump out with, "Remember, if someone doesn't like a movie other people like, don't be a dick to them!" It's not about being an authority, it's just thinking maybe it could stop someone somewhere from being a jerk. (Comparatively, if I didn't post what I'd heard about BATMAN reaction, people would have gotten mad about that. People call me an ass in my Twitter DMs for not posting SHAZAM 2 and BLACK ADAM test screening reactions) So it's all a balance. The point of those tweets was actually to try and get people excited because I thought reviews were going to be really good. I'm genuinely sorry if it just looks like I'm an attention junkie though.

The title of SCREAM 2022 that was on early drafts of the script (before the studio decided to pull a HALLOWEEN) was SCREAM FOREVER -
Scream | January 14, 2022 | Profit of $56.7M
ViewerAnon replied to cheesypoofs's topic in Box Office Discussion
All the best SCREAM sequels cost $24 million. Barring a collapse from current pre-sale numbers, I wonder if this is gonna do well enough this weekend for Paramount to announce a sequel on Tuesday. -
Tobey's good but he's the one who sort of has his life together, so he's by default the "least interesting." Tom has gone through some major emotional shit by the time they show up. Andrew is still dealing with Gwen's death, admits he went to a dark place after, hasn't been able to have another relationship since. So they just have the juicier dramatic material to work with. But yeah, you'll get a (relatively vague) update on Tobey's post-SM3 life.
