Sure, but not a 30% (I got my math wrong before and EmpireCity's 800 to 1100 guess is actually a 37.5% increase) . I mean let's just take Sonic 2 as an example. It's current DOM gross (assuming DOM decrease is also 30%, which btw would probably be an underestimate) would be 244 mil. Movie right now made 149 mil by its third week. What kind of trajectory would you predict for the movie to make that much by the end of this weekend? Even if we assume its current drops were halfed after its 3rd weekend, the movie would get to barely over 200 mil, a single digit percentage difference.

Yeah, because pre-announced streaming plans for theatrical releases wasn't a thing before like 2021, when we were still being affected by a worldwide pandemic?

And if certain movies like TG2 went to streaming for free 7-days after, their boxoffice gross would increase by 200%. I got the proof but I won't give it to you.

Well, I'm not just going to take your word for it lol. You think Sonic 2, Batman, The Lost City, etc would've made 30% more worldwide (how much more you said TG2 will make with longer theatrical) with a longer theatrical window? Would've required these movies to have sub-20% drops or even increases (assuming legs were unaffected for the first three weeks) for them to achieve that.

I agree tbh. But I feel like this year is more crowded than usual with blockbuster potentials.

We already got two sequels to blockbuster Best Picture nominees coming out this year. If both Black Panther 2 and Avatar 2 hit, I don't think is getting in.

Also because WB spent a shitton of money campaigning the movie and gave it a film-fest premiere. Paramount is going to be throwing all their money at Babylon. If overall reception mattered, we'd be having Spider-man win Best Picture, not something like Coda.

I think a BP nom might happen but it's not going to be a Fury Road level contender. Fury Road was a top 5 BP contender (possibly top 3). This will most likely have the kind of Oscar performance that something like Skyfall had (which would've gotten in with 10 BP nominees).

You have to show this proof instead of saying it exists lmao. But you can't because there's barely any proof of causation or correlation between legs and theatrical window length here, especially at a worldwide scale (where we've had even day and date releases like Dune have great legs). If TGM loses $300 mil WW, most of that loss would be DOM (because that's where the shorter window would be). And it's practically impossible for a movie to lose that kind of money merely due to theatrical window length.

Why do you spew hyperbolic nonsense like this that is backed up by nothing? Just makes you sound like boxoffice Alex Jones. The movie would not lose $300 mil with a 45 day window.

Got bored by Season 1 after a couple of episodes. Gonna give this show another go if season 2 is really that much better.

I feel like if Deadline switched that 5 and 7 around, it would be a more accurate prediction.

If a major leftist publication like Jacobin spent thousands on a pro-Amber Heard campaign for their own political agendas which has an effect on internet discount, then yeah the trial would also become a political issue.

Nah, my reading comprehension is fine. I just said some things semantically different. The Daily Wire is an example of right-wing media spending money to get people rally behind Depp and making it a right-wing issue (for their own MRA bullshit). Not sure what you're disagreeing with here. That Daily Wire isn't right-wing? That they haven't spent thousands to make Depp seem like some hero? Because both are facts. You can argue it's not a left vs right issue if you want, but the point still stands that The Daily Wire made it one.

You gotta improve your reading comprehension getting on a high horse. He is saying that guys like The Daily Wire have literally spent thousands on a disinformation campaign (which they've done many, many times before).

70 mil seems not that hard even from a 10% Thurs drop.

People don't care enough about the characters of the Jurassic World movies to care about spoilers. You think anyone even knows what the plot of the movie is? They just want to see some dinosaur action.

Difference is that Cruise has always been a 100x more commited actor than Depp has ever been,

Yeah, a negative impact. This stupid spectacle is gonna make it seem like a joke.

Rewatched 3 yesterday and I did not know Aaron Paul was in it. They should bring him back.

I'm not sure if mediocre reception is really "hope" tho.

Yeah, I totally trust this critic:

Hey, I just went with what you said. Never did I say that Thor looked like a Neil Breen film though. You thought I did.

Sayles wrote a Jurassic World script?
