The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Menor the Destroyer replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
Can see it doing maybe 10k-15k-45k for a 142k finish on the low end. Maybe 7-8 million final. Wish we had data from Beta as it started very well there. -
1. Jar Jar 2. Wicket 3. Rose 4. Kid Anakin All underrated
-
I mean, I agree that it sucked, but I know a good few who liked it. Was surprised how decent the reception was among my SW fan friends.
-
Seeing NWH tomorrow but so far Eternals Shang-Chi Whatif Falcon WV BW Hawkeye Loki
-
The movie had much better reception than certain online metrics would indicate, but I wouldn't say the backlash was purely online. Among all the SW fans I know in real life which spans a pretty good portion from super hardcore to fairly casual, reaction to the film was extremely mixed, many people loved it and many hated.
-
Rey is the worst SW protagonist by a mile imo. She was quite promising after TFA and then that godawful friendship/romance stuff with Kylo made me completely uninvested in her. I'll stop after this post with the SW stuff.
-
If NWH gets the Monday record then Spider-Man owns both Mon and Tues. Wonder if ROTS Thu will ever be topped. Maybe if we get to noon "previews" someone will eventually abandon the fiction that Thursday is still like "previews," and it will fall.
-
Btw TLJ definite recommend was 82% which is actually very high, par Infinity War, though I have suspected that if Comscore tracked "definitely do not recommend," it would also have overindexed there relative to many blockbusters.
-
The characters of Rogue One were a lot better than the ST characters though. Give me Jyn, Cassian, and Chirrut any day over Rey, Kylo, and Finn.
-
Are Snyder Cut or TSS even that controversial though? I mean I preferred Eternals and Shang-Chi over those, probably will prefer NWH as well, but it's not something I care that much about. Real hot takes would be like JL theatrical over NWH.
-
I'm doing my part to get this page count up.
-
He is nowhere close to Tony's popularity imo. Thor and Peter and the Guardians are bigger, while Tony was unmatched when he had his solo movies. Yeah he will have a big part 2 but that's because of multiverse stuff.
-
NWH???? I mean you're asking for the OWs to average like 300+
-
170 seems about right for Strange. The character is not an A lister but both he and Wanda are strong B listers. The multiverse characters will add hype but not close to T&A.
-
I mean in my generation the Endgame buzz was way broader and bigger but I think that the box office numbers are much better indicators of the hype since they correct for a lot of our POV biases.
-
If we are considering only the USA/West then maybe, but Endgame's global opening puts it in a class of its own. Yes, TPM didn't have as many markets, but still. Plus TFA's total was more impressive in 2015 than TPM's in 1999, though it did have the benefit of December and stronger reception.
-
Yeah not sure if people forgot or WTF they are thinking but the film was super well received at the time. My opening weekend screening hardly went 10 minutes without applause. Craziest crowd reactions I've ever seen from a US crowd.
-
Was talking about the 2002 film.
-
Yes, but there won't be the rush to avoid spoilers like for something like NWH
-
Yes, because we all know trailers perfectly correlate to box office.
-
Opening weekend probably not. It's more of a legs film imo.
-
To your first paragraph, we're a year out. There is plenty of time to market.
-
If it can actually release next year, I wouldn't underestimate Wakanda... Well, domestically at least.
-
I think there is some confusion, I assumed Charlie was talking about the 2002 film.
-
I thought the romance parts weren't too obnoxious in the first, the second was where they started to get on my nerves. But yeah the third act is definitely the weakest part of the movie, felt like something was off in the buildup. One thing I didn't like is the scene where Goblin makes Peter choose who to save and then he ends up not having to choose at all.
