    It's crazy we are talking about a 25 year old movie with a divisive reputation to save the first weekend of May or at least make it less terrible looking. But here we are. My Top 5 for the weekend with ranges- 1) The Fall Guy 25-32 if WOM powered walkups power it least a little bit 2)TPM 18-25 mostly with saturday being the big day duh.3)Tarot 8-12 the same range as every other original horror this year so far 4)Challengers  7-9.5 yesterday and today;s numbers will tell the tale for how well that can hold and 5)GXK  4.5-6.0 depending on if TPM and even The Fall Guy hurt it a little.

    TPM is not doing 18-25, rereleases are fan heavy and behave very differently from normal ones

    OMG.  People are not complaining about 

     

    Ends rant. j1aUlyv.gif

     

    (and yes, that IS a proper rant in there)

    ((I can see other complaints about the finale, and that's fine, but I had to grump a LOT about that so-called "complaint"))

    Spoiler

    I think its especially ridiculous because while there weren't any deaths in the season finale, it's not like there wasn't an incredibly powerful/meaningful death for Tech at the end of season 2 whose presence was felt throughout season 3 (mostly in the background, but the tone of the show clearly shifted after that moment). It's not like the show needed any more death to raise the stakes. 

     

    So many fantastic scenes in this finale, it's crazy that even the Zillo beast action which I was really hyped for last week isn't even close to the top of my favorite action moments in this episode (and not because that moment didn't live up to my expectations). The fight with the CX troopers (who almost felt like an evil Bad Batch in a way), Echo's speech to the clones, Nala Se blowing up Rampart, and of course that final shot by Crosshair (and then just absolutely mowing down Hemlock with those blaster bolts) was just such a cathartic and fist-pumping way to finish out this series. And then that epilogue, especially Omega taking off with Tech's glasses in the cockpit was what finally got the tears from me.

    Yeah another solid/well-plotted episode, putting the pieces in place for the finale which I'm sure will have some nice

    Tbh have seen this sentiment on SW twitter/Reddit but while I've enjoyed this season, it hasn't really carried the sense of being a final season yet. If I didn't already know this was the last, I'd be assuming there were more seasons with the relatively methodical pace of the last few episodes. I trust the showrunners here but I'm very curious to see how they wrap things up in a satisfying way with just one more episode. 

    I should not have worried because that was a beautiful ending and absolutely justified all the setup. Just great.

    Youtube: 

    Deadpool 3 - 1 day (1.2M likes, 23M views)

    Joker 2 - 13 days (900k likes, 31M views)

    GOTG 3 - 1 year (800k likes, 34M views)

    MoM - 2 years (2.1M likes, 64M views) 

    Quantumania - 1 year (587k likes, 26M views)

     

    Trailer views and likes doesn't mean much, but I do think it can act as a good indicator for anticipation. 

     I generally wouldn't compare trailer 1 to trailer 2 (for example you have GOTG3 trailer 1 here, but the second trailer for GOTG3 was much lower). To be fair DP3 YouTube metrics have been stable on YouTube from the first trailer, which happens from time to time usually when the second trailer has more/bigger reveals than the first, although other platforms are down which is also normal. 

     

     

    Generally speaking (accounting for the fact that YT views are down a bit relative to OWs since 2022) the YT metrics for this trailer seem to put it in a tier in between Thor 4 and DS2 as far as buzz goes. Non-YouTube platforms are very big but I tend to be a little skeptical of views from those since they are really easy to get.

    Ok now this is pushing it a little. You're basically saying >235 weekend is more likely than <110

    I think it's marginally more likely although wouldn't say either is very likely. Expecting OW in the 180s.

    Don’t know where you get that, but Twitter alone has over 40m views only from the big english channels I see: WB, DC, JokerMovie, Lady Gaga and Discussing Film. That’s not even accounting for smaller channels or foreign WB accounts. 

    There are no views from DC because that is a retweet, and I didn't count DiscussingFilm since I was counting from only official accounts.

    I would not compare these 2 movies. Even if they are both comic book, Audience base for 1st movie was not atypical CB movie. There are no CGI money shots or action sequences. It was a character drama. So I would not just look at trailer comps here. 

    First movie had huge trailer views though, I think it did worse domestically than you would expect with the kind of buzz it had. The franchise skews very heavily OS whereas Deadpool is relatively Dom heavy.

    No clue if this is reliable, but since people were curious I thought I'd share.

    Where on earth are these numbers from...it has 2.7m views between Gaga's channel and WB on Facebook, there's no way the total number is 70m. Looks like BS to me unless there's some verifiable proof.

    I think the combination of the goodwill from GvK + the lack of pure popcorn action films for months now + the current Godzilla rennaissance all played a role here.

     

    And the nature of the MonsterVerse as well in my opinion: The main reason i think why the Series continues to be relevant is that in the 10 years since G14, theres now just been 5 movies and 1 TV show. Thats new content for the fans every 2 years and its probably a way more healthy format for a Cinemativ Universe. The Godzilla/Kong films have still not been overexposed to audiences and with a minimum of 2 years separating every installment, the new movie always feels like something special. Its the Anti-Marvel (especially Phase 4) format, if you will.

    I see this argument a lot but... it isn't healthier, Marvel's format is leagues and leagues more successful, it's not even a comparison. I would argue the Monsterverse is not even really viewed as a cinematic universe by most audiences.

    I don't think there is anything abnormal happening here. It's a sequel to film which would have opened $90-110M, $70-80M OW is pretty much par course.

     

    Inflation adj Monster Verse openings


    G 2014 - 125
    Skull Island - 75
    KOTM - 58

    GvK (in normal times) - 90-110

    That 90-110 seems low to me. But agreed that this isn't an unusual number.

    Hey, people have corrected me before on much more obscure things in my comps! :lol: 

     

    (values were probably low enough that it wasn't becoming apparent until just now)

    ((mostly I'm annoyed at myself for this when it comes right down to it))

     

    I noticed it looked weirdly high but forgot to ask/didn't think too much of it.
