It's just facts look at his box office numbers. Best film performance financially was Interstellar and he wasn't even the big draw then at all.
-
Chamalet being cast guarantees this will flop. He is not a draw whatsoever and never has been. No idea why people continue to cast him, good actor but not a draw.

MIB International managing to sneak past the nice little 30 number puts 75-80 on the table. That's still less than the adjusted OW's of MIB 1 and 2 (and little more than that of 3), but at least it's not Dark Phoenix. Its OS numbers are alright, so as I said before, I think it will wind up at least doubling its production budget WW and turn profitable for Sony on ancilliaries. Not a big bomb. But yet another unremarkable opener for Chris Hemsworth outside of Thor.
Dark Phoenix Godawful, despite the Father's Day Sunday helping its hold. Will barely make 2x its OW.
Every other holdover having a tremendous hold.... except Ma and Pokémon, who bled theaters like no end. Rocketman in particular catches my attention, because it's exactly on par with Christopher Robin. CR was an August family opener who lost its grasp by September time, while this will have the entirety of Summer weekdays + limited direct competition. I feel like Rocketman will definitely get to 100. And Aladdin is locked for 300 at this point.
The Dead Don't Die had a surprisingly solid opening as well.
Pokemon lost a a little over 1,000 theaters before the weekend hit.

What a horrendous drop for XDP. Sub 10M 2nd weekend incoming.
That you for using the logical acronym instead of DP.

142 dom even though it will only be 1m away from that by the end of this weekend? Say what?
This is based on how many theaters it's losing. It could get to $145M DOM. We shall see. I'm not sure how many more weeks it'll be in theaters, usually movies leave theaters after around 1.5/2 months and with how packed this summer is...no movie is staying from April/May all the way till July.
Overall though DP performed solid, for how much it had going against it. The sequel will do hella good in a better slot, and it won't have it's energy sucked away by a movie. Cause no movie released in the next ten years IMO will be as big as EG was.
Also this is completely unrelated but I'm shocked the movie is still making money...considering it leaked online in Blu Ray quality thanks to Korea before last weekend.
-
DP is likely finishing 142 million DOM which I think is good and WW it'll probably get to $430 maybe. Yet people still want to say it's a flop when you got Godzilla numbers staring at you in the face.

With Wan producing, there's no chance it'll be PG-13.
I hope so.
MK 1995 was entertaining but it was not a good movie. The music was the best part of the film, and the fights were okay(JC vs Scorpion was the best) even though till this day I have no idea why they made Sub-Zero so damn stupid. Or how Reptile could just choke so badly when he was whooping that a** the entire fight.
Then 2 years later an abomination called MK Annihilation came out and.... yeahhhhhh
PG-13 rating might bring war flashbacks for a lot of people.

I think a lot of people will see it for the fatalities, the ones in the newer games are very gory but cool which may be difficult for a live action adaptation but hopefully they can pull it off.
People go to see a mortal kombat movie for the violence and the iconic characters/costumes. A PG-13 film though may not be met with praise cause fatalities well they can't be as iconic as they are.

I think if WB is sensible with the MK budget then I think it could do well and profitable. The series has seen a bit of resurgence since WB Games rebooted the series.
I just hope that the rumored plotline is not true because an OC main character is a bad idea to go. Just a cliche americanized adaptation.

Det-Pika was completely watered down version of the original which is why it failed to go higher. As for Warcraft they used the wrong characters hence why they should have used Hellscream thats just my opinion it was not done properly but with a hellscream lead movie it could have been perhaps completely different.
This 4 mins cinematic commercial is better then the entire warcraft movie.
As for MK It's a whole different animal. If you give MK to a credible director who has good writers it's bound to success on the Box office
Pika did fine man. Seriously it was not a flop. Pika was competing against Endgame when it was still a monster. Got a lot of it's screens taken away after 4 pm so didn't that evening money and didn't have IMAX. Pika had a lot going against it and still managed to make a good profit over all.
Mortal Kombat on the other hand caters to one demographic watered-down version or otherwise. You'll be lucky if MK makes 250 million WW by the end of it's run. Especially with that rumored plotline about an OC main character instead of choosing Lui Kang or Kung Lao as the main character which is 100% what I would have done.

If the superhero genre found audience with Male - Teen/adults and kids/family so can Mortal Kombat which means sacrificing alot of the blood and go PG13.
MK is Superhero genre on steriods the excitement level can reach orgasmic levels as far as action goes
No one wants an MK that's PG-13 everyone has been begging for an MK R rated movie.

I imagine Mortal Kombat will be budgeted to around $50-60m so it can be R rated and profitable
I'd rank it at 90-100M if the Russo Brothers get their way.

Det-Pika was not true to it's sources which is why people didn't take it serious.
The Nostalgia surrounding Mortal kombat is very much underrated. All kids to teens know most of the characters in MK and watched the mid-90s movies.
Pokemon broke out much later in the early 00s while MK may have been taken over by Tekken in that same era but it made a great comeback in 2010s.
I think in 2020s it's prime-time for MK to breakout on the big-screen. They have the hype, fanbase, nostalgia factor, and familiarity going for them. I think it's gonna have a major break-out.
The sky is the limit for Mortal Kombat imho. with a credible director it can go places.
The difference between MK and Pokemon is that Pokemon has never been taken out of the spotlight. It's been a worldwide sensation since it's release and is still kicking very much till this day.
Also I'm beyond tired of people trashing Pika. To me if a movie makes 400 million and it's making more then that with over 140 million domestic, I don't consider that a flop. I consider that a good performance. Did it underperform to everybody's expectations yes, but it showed to have pretty solid legs throughout it's run and there's a chance it may end up being the highest grossing video game film of all time.
And it's sequel will only perform better because it won't have to compete with the second highest grossing film of all time and we're not gonna see a movie stand up to Endgame for probably I'd wager at least a decade or till Pokemon Red/Blue comes out.
Plus Pokemon caters to all demographics, Mortal Kombat caters to mostly one demographic, males, teen/adult.

For the love of God can we do something about the DP acronyms. I'm getting hella confused over the pages cause I think DP means Detective Pikachu when it means Dark Phoenix.
Can we do DPika for Detective Pikachu and DPX for Dark Phoenix.

If Uncharted fails, the KOTOR movie would for sure breakout huge if they do it right.
Uncharted isn't really that big of a property. Love the story but IDK how keen people will be on the changes. As for KOTOR I think it'd be a huge breakout but look at whom is directing the film. The people that ruined GOT to the point it's now rated the worse series finale of all time. People won't forget that. And SW has already had to deal with a PR nightmare in Rian Johnson.

Alita doesn't look so bad now after Dumbo, Shazam, Pikachu, Godzilla and X-Men.
HTTYD3 went from good to great, I'd say. It's been a brutal year for everything except MCU and Aladdin so far.
IDK why Pikachu is paired with those other films, it will gross more then all those other movies.

I need a video game movie to really be a huge success so some studio will finally take the risk on R rated big budget God of War.
Pika is doing good. It's not a huge success but it's likely gonna be the highest grossing video game film of all time by it's run and on top of that the sequel won't have it's energy sucked out from it like this one was releasing so close to EG.

Big drops
Movie Gross % Change Theaters Total Gross Days - (2) Godzilla: King of the Monsters $2,645,000 -19% 4,108 $63,053,502 7 - (7) Pokémon: Detective Pikachu $700,000 -18% 3,147 $134,427,172 28 Pika's probably looking at a 3.5/4 million Weekend. Decent legs should kick it to around 150 or a bit above by end of run.

So there's a benefit to having a short movie then.

I like these games a lot, but Tom Holland seems a bit miscast. Not sure how well he can sell the kind of self-assuredness needed for Drake. We'll see.
He's way too young for Nathan Drake.

Seeing these holds for Pikachu would you put the next Pokemon movie during the summer or stay where it was in early May?

why would Aladdin get a sequel? it's a story with a perfect ending.
It's got one of the only GOOD Disney sequels, though I would just do Aladdin and the King of Thieves cause I love that movie a lot more then Return of Jafar.

A 54 million dollar ow.
148-152 million domestically
thats 2.75x multiplayer
Thats pretty good for the wom it had
And the insane competition it's had to go with. Just imagine how good the sequel will do when it does not have to compete against the 2nd highest grossing film of all time for theatre slots.
Hopefully for the sequel they do IMAX as well. It's weird that out of all May blockbusters Pikachu was the only one that did not get IMAX.
Toy Story 4 Weekend Thread | Estimates: Small Soldiers 118, Puppet Master 14.1, Prince of Persia 12.2 (-30%), Blues Brothers 2000 10.8 (-64%), Beverly Hills Chihuahua: The Squeakquel 10.3 (-58%)

I've been predicting an underperformer but didn't say anything cause I'd be called crazy. You can't go from a freaking masterpiece like TS3 with a beautiful ending to TS4 and not expect audiences to be put off because of how great TS3 was and how satisfying a conclusion it was. This movie was not necessary.
