In a world DC is sold to Disney, other than ofc firing Snyder, will PAPA FEIGE handle DC or someone else.

Nolan is 2nd biggest director in industry. He can do whatever he want. TENET doing $360mn in middle of pandemic is Blockbuster. If Disney can burn millions on stuff like a Wrinkle in Time, Nolan is much safer.

Fair enough. Still should have waited till after WW84. Is it possible that this announcement was done to push more people to buy HBO Max for WW84 itself. Subscribing for one film may not be a big motivator, but subscribing for 17 looks big.

IDK if Matrix may get proper release whenever it release but in world where there was no COVID Wondy weekend has more chance of being over Matrix 4 than what you just said.

That's true but in the calender settings we have 26 Dec - 01 Jan will be the biggest followed by 02-08 Jan. Dec 18-25 may be around Jan 09-15 but I think Jan 09-15 should be bigger.

Its most likely not what happened but what if, WB heard the rumors of Disney doing something similar, so they decided to be the first to do so, and now Disney don't do it. That will be funny af. May be WB back track after WW84 on economic grounds, but then that put HBO Max on backfoot.

a what now?

TBH HBO is better name, what they should do is convert HBO Now, HBO Go whatever is there in one. That's it. HBO Max is a really good name.

Don't think there will be any growth in 02-08 Jan week, let alone 75%. 19-25 Dec shall have a much better hold.

That's really weird. WB had quite a few in 2017, they certainly have improved their game since then.

Did I said film is bad? I said scene is bad.

This looks awful. Both visually and action choreography wise.

Won't be surprised if they did that in USA and European markets, but in Asia there are independent local tracking system, so we will get Asian numbers at least.

Demon Slayer Worldwide till 06 Dec 2020 Japan - $275.68mn Taiwan - $18.85mn Hong Kong - $3.75mn Thailand - $0.78mn (Opening Weekend) Vietnam - $0.02mn Rest - $0.75mn Approx Total - $299.83mn Approx or ¥31.37Bn

WB reports ₹5cr ($675k) opening weekend estimates on 1137 screens. IMAX format did about 10% of overall on just 18 screens.

I think in normalcy $20mn from TENET was more than ok, so getting 80% of it is perfectly fine.

TENET grossed ₹5-5.5cr ($750-800k) in its opening weekend with 275k admits. Badly affected by piracy. IMAX did excellent numbers.

TENET Week 0: $1,485,951 Week 1: $3,161,346 Week 2: $2,057,581 (-35%) Week 3: $1,376,020 (-33%) Week 4: $1,108,737 (-19%) Week 5: $989,378 (-11%) Week 6: $818,605 (-18%) Week 7: $438,933 (-46%) Week 8: $258,323 (-41%) Week 9: $193,223 (-25%) Week 10: $135,390 (-30%) Week 11: $123,563 (-9%) Week 12: $790,290 (+539%) Week 13: $748,724 (-5%) Week 14: $733,568 (-2%) Total: $14,419,587 Box office and trend is better than what I had expected with reopening of Victoria. A 30% weekly drop will see it at $16.1mn.

Gonna look TFA daily numbers for comparison as that was the film in same time frame. 12/18 - $3.1mn 12/19 - $5.3mn 12/20 - $5mn 12/21 - $2.25mn 12/22 - $2mn 12/23 - $3.45mn (Emperor Birthday) 12/24 - $1.75mn 12/25 - $1.9mn (Xmas) 12/26 - $2.9mn 12/27 - $3.15mn 12/28 - $2.35mn (+5%) 12/29 - $3mn (+50%) 12/30 - $3.2mn 12/31 - $2.3mn (+30%) 01/01 - $3.55mn (+86%) // $20.45mn 01/02 - $3.5mn (+20%) 01/03 - $3.35mn (+6%) 01/04 - $2.4mn (+2%) 01/05 - $1.35mn (-55%) 01/06 - $1.25mn (-61%) 01/07 - $0.97mn (-58%) 01/08 - $0.9mn (-75%) // $13.72mn The 02-08 weekend (New Year week) were bigger than 26-01 (Xmas week). This time weekdays of New Year week will be having holiday but I find it hard believing that they can grow or match the 29-30 December on 05 & 06 Jan. 07 Jan may be flat or bit higher. Of course will not be able to match New Year's day on 8th January.

I think that's impossible. If Jan 02-08 grow on the previous week, the previous week won't be growing 50%. At best I can think is Jan 02-08 being flat because in Dec 26-Jan 01, you are already having New Year and New Year's Eve. I am having hard time thinking days after beating them. The approximate Frozen 2 numbers. The boxing day this time is in weekend, so having hard time thinking next week will top that.

I mean I would take my chances.

Would be tough. $350mn is best I can see. Won't be surprised with just $340mn.

Will depend on how Korea do if China don't permit it. Currently looks like $350mn in Japan, $22mn in Taiwan & $4mn in Hong Kong. That leaves $77mn Approx for worldwide no. 1.

Problem is that internationally TENET did numbers in legs. With release on HBO Max, those legs won't be so great. Should have given 2-3 weeks window to international.
