for this movie 25M plus percentage from the box office, dvd sales etc.... According to the hollywood reporter he should make around 45M dollars.

He makes safe choices, all of them are directors with several box office hits or awards winnings before he worked with them. I think Brad Pitt or Ryan Gosling make more courageous choices but still no one can deny the incredible impact Di Caprio had for these movies. The renevant made 532 M dollars, it's incredibile, only because of Leonardo Di Caprio and his very talk oscar worthy performance. Nowadawys is more than rare. Put an original movie with Di caprio on Netflix, whatever movie and you will have easily the record of views for a movie untill now. Once upon a time will do great numbers everywhere, it won't be a bomb in any way. Pitt and Di Caprio are real true global superstar, really really global. And well Tarantino alone of course is a famous brand too.

R.I.P to all the Chris WHOS in the marvel movies Leonardo DiCaprio is the only global superstar left in a film industry in which an interchangeable group of actors suit up in spandex or brandish a lightsaber for the latest billion-dollar earner. Here's my deep dive on his career. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/how-leonardo-dicaprio-became-hollywoods-last-movie-star-1225416

Cats it just ...cats. I don't get all this hate, I guess it's just an easy target for the geeks fan and smart people on the internet, people who love smart movie and characters like the ant man (loool). The Movie can be very good for the fans of the show and musicals. The singing animals of the lion king are not less cringe for what i saw in the clips.

My brother watch all the marvel movies because of the brand but he doesn't know who Chris Patt is. Weeks ago we were watching Passengers and he said to me "I know him, Where i saw him?". I bet in America is different cause actors make talk show appareances, awards shows and so on so they can reach easily the general public with their "true identity" but i can garantee you for example here in Italy you're not a star just because you were in a succesfull blockbuster movie inspired by a famous book or comic book. Or because you won an Oscar. For example this year the news gave more space to Lady Gaga's win for a song than Regina King's win, cause the success of the movie here or the fame of the winner are important. If I show to someone Richard Madden's face and he says to me "Oh wait, i saw him. Sure! He's Nedd Stark's son" doesn't mean he is a movie star (with star i mean a recognized name who brings people in the cinemas) but just a know face. Like the face of the champion of a famous quiz show.

They were just bad movies, some actor built their star status on indie or festival movies, like Ryan Gosling.

"Salma Hayek is a star" mhhh you're not wrong but i don't think she's that huge star. Richard Madden is not a star in any way. Being casted in something famous doesn't make you a star, A star for me is someone 9 people on 10 on street if you just show them the face. And with recognize i mean associate a name to a face, not "yes maybe i saw this face somewhere.". You wrote ALL star cast. The others definitely are unknown names.

I like the idea of a female Thor but Portman's character was one of the worst in all the marvel movies and I really don't like her, her jackie was so annoying and scholastic, i liked her only on the black swan cause the character was repressed like her boring acting is. I don't think she will be a lesbian or bisexual thor, Valchiria will have definitely another love interest. Anyway as gay person I find cringe and embarassing you have to say "I'm gonna be gay" at the comic con even before the film is made. This screams sad marketing so loud. Make it a normal thing people can discover when they are watching the movie. Like when Disney made all that noise for the """""""gay scene""""""""""""" on beauty and beast". Sad. I think here and in the Eternals will be something more explicit in this issue, cause they are not branded disney movies but nothing so really open.

???? the only star is Angelina

So the lion king is doing like Hunger Games with inflation? Not bad.

"This. I'm not feeling the buzz offline. When I say I want to see this people blink. It's only an anecdotal evidence but maybe something is up." Anyway even Kill bill got a 40M first weekend with inflation.

What hype do you want on the internet? It's not a marvel movie with noisy annoying fans. People with taste in cinematic art are there waiting for finally a movie event in this summer there is something original and not a video game for kids. It's Mr. Di Caprio first movie in 3 years, that's already an event. I'm here for not less than a 50M first weekend.

It looks boring and generic but after all is a James Grey movie so no surprise. Brad Pitt looks very Brad Pitt and this means he looks very hot.

Aladdin made the same of the last Wednesday. Queen Jasmine did that.

ready for that 25 on metacritic.

Why Beauty and the beast and why not The lion King. Who knows.

No my wish list would be a lot different.

Frozen 2 Pain and Glory Fair and Balanced The Laundromat Once upon a time in hollywood Harriet Rocket man The souvenir Queen & Slim A beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Both are crap journals. Why are you surprised?.

sky is not the limit for the lion king, at some point you found the "i already seen it, i don't care" people. It will do not less than the 40% WW total the first week.

Really a bad year for WB. Lego, godzilla, Shazam, Pikachu. They should just remake My Fair Lady with Cardi B. Written, acted and directed by Henry Cavill. Or release the next Clint movie in 2 parts. Rocketman is really disappointing everywhere. Its budget is only 40M dollars so it's not a glop but the expactions, the marketing, the distribution wa really high level everywhere and i think it will end is run under 200M WW.

How is doing in the non anglophone countries? Here in italy it's doing very bad, it should make around 1M-1.2M with 500 copies, really a lot of copies. Yesterday it got a screen avereae of 248 euros, this means more than half empty screens or even worse.

If a movie makes 850k on friday and it's a family movie is easier having a 160% increase on saturday. If a movie makes 2 M on friday it's more difficult a 160% increase cause the movie just doesn't have the space to do 2 M + the 160% And Aladdin has more teens and adults in its audience than cinderella so it's pretty normal biggest weekdays and lowest weekend jumps lol. Your post is useful, who cares about maleficient and cinderella biggest jumps but with a lot less money? This makes aladdin disappointing? The last word in the universe for what aladdin did in thiis weekend in Italy is disappoiting.

Why do you have some expectation about booksmart. because of metacritic? Who cares about metacrtic, only to the fanboys of blockbusters care about it. Surely not to teens, girls or not. Anyway as someone just said Netflix release a teen movie like that every week. Maybe it just needed Noah Centineo in it. The marketing of Aladdin hadn't nothing wrong as the box office is showing, "looking like bollywod is weird" (Yeah racism has something to do with it) isn't bad marketing. Imagine thinking a teaser trailer with Will Smith as the genie is bad marketing. Only for the memeboys around. The only bad choice from disney is the release date, so close to dumbo, end game and toy story 4 and with The Lion king as Live action event of the year in people minds. Aladdin deserved to be the live action event of the year. A star is born, Bohemian, The greatest showman, La La Land are all musicals, nothing new. Musicals are doing great in this decade, well loved in all anglophone markets, Asia, Australia. Rocket Man is the next.

Booksmart looks like a girls teen movie when no teen girls listen to Ariana Grande. Boring.
