I’m as realistic about this era as anyone but this is a must see MCU event with nostalgia factor and Christmas legs. Seems likelier the wave will have decreased by then.
If any film is going to do a billion it's this one.
F9 is gonna pass $700M and that's with a collapse of legs in China and mixed reception and the franchise clearly on a downward trajectory box office wise.

Birds of Prey?
At least BOP doubled its budget at the box office. May have even broke even or made a profit long term on the home market.
This is likely losing $100M+

6/10.
Thought the first 2 acts were mostly good to great but the third act, especially once he meets edgerton character just screeches to a halt and it's a mess of poor pacing.

I’d guess $7.3-7.5m for TSS. $28.1m for Free Guy. $10.6m for Don’t Breathe 2 and $8.3m for Respect. Don’t Breathe 2 could beat Jungle Cruise after all.Kind of surprised by DB2. The trailers painting the character as an anti hero after the events of the first film turned me off completely and I really enjoyed the first.

So $7M or less weekend for TSS?

I wonder how slow the HBO MAX international roll out will be. Its obvious WB/ATT didnt plan this out long term. They make rash decisions out of nowhere.
Imagine the subscriber numbers if HBO Max was worldwide and they did the day 1 strategy all over.
As is I imagine the roll out will be a slow process with missing content all over because of all the deals they have signed.
I'm in Canada and almost all the max stuff comes on Crave here. I recall when Prime video first launched here it took a couple years before it wasnt total shit due to the deals they had signed.

That's a good point. I'll have too look into Conjuring 3. I do think horror films are made for theaters. They generally don't cost much and hold well enough. Horror crowd is very, very reliable to generate a certain amount of cash per film. They're great date night movies too.
What did it drop weekend to weekend?
Dropped 57% 2nd weekend. Then it dropped between 40-50% every weekend after looks like.

So is TSS going to drop more than Mortal Kombat did?
That would be something.

Really think that the WB/HBO is just brutal. MK, SJ2 and, now, TSS are just taking nose dives in their second weekend more even than just about anything else outside of a few outliers while stuff like QP2, F9, Old and the Disney releases are dropping big too but not consistently like the WB releases. Hell, Jungle Cruise seems to be holding rather well actually. BW had a ridiculous drop but at least that was from an 80M OW DOM rather than something like 25, 30 and 25 like the three WB releases I mentioned earlier that dropped through the floor. GvK is the only WB release that showed some legs and managed to get to 100M+ DOM.
It's not just HBO with subscribers... People share subscriptions. I don't know anyone that doesn't share their HBO Max with at least 4 people. Most share it with 5+. Now, if you're buying a movie for 30 bucks plus friends that share your login have a limited time to watch after it's purchased that's completely different to I'll open my pals HBO Max app whenever and watch TSS, MK, SJ2 for free whenever.
Piracy is huge but a lot of people I think are just sharing subs for HBO, Disney, etc. It's ridiculously easy and they haven't cracked down on it at all. Only crackdowns where it's harder is it you have YouTubeTV or Hulu Live. They start to track and give more of shit then because those are like 65 dollars or more monthly...
Didnt conjuring 3 hold just fine?
Maybe these films are having big drops because...audiences don't like them that much.

$2.2m
So what would this theoretically lead to for the weekend? Total and percentage drop wise?

Feels like someone is giving Chapek enough rope to hang himself.

…what is BW then?
*Checks Notes*
The most successful film of the year according to Zatt!

I remember I watched the big sick not knowing anything about the film. Not a trailer not sypnopsis not even an idea of genre.
Ended up being one of my favorite films and such a ride that could not have been experienced the same way knowing anything about the film.

I don’t know, I guess I got quickly engaged when they’re doing the chemo metaphor for vampirism? Of course I also think people have less patience in general for films than they used to. I had that same thought rewatching Alien the other day: chestbursting doesn’t happen until what a hour in? Now if that isn’t in the first 15 minutes, people might be playing on their phones.
Maybe it was just my expectations. Honestly felt like a film that could have benefited from myself not knowing what it was about and not watching the trailer and going in blind.
I've started doing that more often with films and have to say, it's always a positive thing and added to the film. Some trailers straight up ruin stuff.

I'll need to finish it. It's dubbed here which is annoying, I'd much rather subtitles. I think we were just vampired out, we'd just watched Fright Night
Yeah I hated the dub so I just went into the settings and changed the audio back to natural language and put subtitles on.

You liked this? The Mrs and I watched this the other night, we got an hour in, got bored and turned it off. Ending up watching those Fear Street movies instead in the end
In fairness it takes a while to get going. My biggest complaint. Once it does though it's very fun.

I am watching Blood Red Sky while reading this thread. This shit is damn entertaining. And guess what? No douchebags around me. No noise. No cellphones. This is it. This is the real movie experience.
I find myself far more distracted at home watching a film than I am at the theatre.

Maybe I'm biased because I didn't like it at all but I expect a 70% drop for TSS and I dont think audience reception is as strong as some people think it is.
Those who like it really like it but I think its turning off a not insignificant portion of the audience.

Gunn's successful career is basically Guardians and that's it, he made a good TSS but the numbers were not there, everything else is meh to bad.
Like a lot of MCU directors, you take away the MCU films and they're largely irrelevant and mediocre.

I love the film, but now I’m livid that Shortland didn’t get to pick this ending:
A leak like this is completely unusual for a MCU joint, and in light of the Chapek fiasco I wouldn’t doubt that someone that worked in that film just said fuck it. It’s also a lot more in line with what the film was all about and feels like the proper capper of that film than Natasha getting a quinjet to rescue her buddies.
This is the suicide squad spoilers thread.

Super, slither and movie 43 have never been relevant. Well, movie 43 on worst films ever made lists had some relevance I guess.

I have a hard time imagining James Wan delivering a film that gets an F.
