    IT Chapter 2 is one of them...WB what are you doing? 

    Deadline did an an explanation as to why Japan releases movies late (someone correct me if their wrong on this):

    Piracy is pretty much non-existent in Japan, so Hollywood studios get to freely set their dates based on what's best in light of the hype, competitive landscape, etc. instead of pushing out all their big blockbusters within a few weeks at most of their domestic openings.

    If I recall. this is one of the reasons why the movies come in so late.

    no one cares about actuals when nothing changed. Don't underestimate disney's strategy on lowballing Sunday estimates.

    @xiazhi

    Are there any examples of Disney lowballing? Maleficent 2 is one of them (since it got edged out a bit), but I can't think of any others.

     

    I do agree about the actuals though, they were slightly apart, but not by a whole lot.

    Always gotta love how films that hit a particular side of the social fandoms always inflate stupidity on this board..... hasnt changed from the Mojo days, but seems more onpoint anymore. 

     

    Not sure why this board has made me so salty this year other than growing really tired of the franchise crap. 

    Underestimated Predictions? At least, that's what I think.

     

    Seeing how I've recently joined the Box Office Subreddit on Reddit and the BOT forum, there have been some things I've noticed, but mainly on the BO Subreddit. From looking at the old Joker estimates/predictions on r/boxoffice, people were predicting Joker to gross less while It Chapter 2 would end up doing more. In the end, it was the complete opposite, especially Joker, since no one predicted the movie would be that big.

     

    Then there were the live action re-imaginings from Disney that came out: Lion King, Aladdin, and Dumbo. While Dumbo did do horrible, the internet vocal minority were expecting movies like The Lion King and Aladdin to flop, when both of them ended up becoming billion dollar successes. Dumbo isn't really all that popular of a Disney IP, hence why it didn't do too hot at the box office. However, movies like Aladdin and The Lion King were both successful due to both nostalgia and also being two of the most popular Disney IPs and original films, especially Lion King (it still is the highest grossing traditional animated film ever).

     

    But there's also The Rise Of Skywalker, the finale to the Skywalker Saga, and people have suddenly lost interest/disinterest towards the last film after The Last Jedi's mixed reception and the box office bomb of Solo. The future (and box office) regarding the end of this saga is concerning.
