    Omicron is gonna fuck the world in January. I expect Europe to go into lockdowns.

     

     

    https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/botswana-says-no-rise-hospitalisation-omicron-70-vaccinated-2021-12-08/

     

    Early days but I don't think it will. It's going to be the dominant variant but doesn't look like its going to elevate hospitalizations or deaths compared to Delta. 

    Also with the vaccination levels in Western Europe the governments are going to be quite hesitant killing the hospitality industry.

    *New sales since Thursday morning

     

    Dune comps

    Venom 2 - .739x (8.57m)

    F9 - .814x (5.78m)

     

    Average - 7.17m

     

    I don't really have anything this low for kids movies.  Addams had 39 at this point, but with 4pm start which would be 240k.

     

    Eternals comps

    BW T-17 - .718x (9.48m)

    Shang-Chi hadn't even gone on sell yet and day 7 would be t-10 so I'm not sure about using that comp until a few more days have passed.

    Godzilla vs Kong probably would have done 100m OW weekend in normal times though. What would Dune have done, maybe 60m at the max? It's still a three hour long Dune movie.

     

    Oh Zilla is +100m in normal times easily, but I think Dune would hit 100m in normal time too. Its PG13 and has a very popular cast. Also 3 hrs is being facetious, its shorter than No Time To Die.

    Would be the other way around. Previews are usually stronger in the summers than in January.

     

    Honestly I think even 4M could be a stretch. Thinking it’ll end up with 3.8-3.9

     

    ER landed in that January period of holidays between Christmas/New years and back to work/school. Comping to summer isn't the worst there. Also ER previews started at 4pm so the mult to ER2's Thurs should be broadly similar.

    Include. If Tuesday was discount day then $650-700K previews. If normal then $1.1M.

     

    Per Deadline: Lionsgate had two sets of sneak previews over the weekend, with about 275 locations in a Atom Tickets/Snapchat sponsorship and another 1,500 locations which both amounted to $1.8M. Tuesday previews amounted to around $815K. The balance yesterday was $1.3M.

    You all make it sound like creating a world and characters, especially in the genre/fantasy/sci fi/ animation world that have global appeal is an easy task.

    And you whine about sequilitis all day.

    Evil creatively bankrupt Disney amirite ?

     

    Meanwhile QT recreates 1969 and Mangold recreates  Le Mans, Gerwing & Scorcese re-creates a time period, and they all get praised for it.

    All hail the Xerox method.

    But they are not evil sequels, so that  s good, these movies love the mundanity and banality of our world and get praised for it.

    Oh My gods, those Korean apartments in Parasite were so creative, rumor has it there are millions of them over there.

    I know the filmmakers add their creativity to their films but don't pretend you are missing  my point.

    Creating a movie like Onward and  xeroxing 1969 with a twist are NOT the same thing and If you don't understand the fundamental difference, I don't what to say to you.

    Chris Terrio gets an Oscar for adapting true life events but he is the laughing stock of geeks worldwide for participating in the sabotage of two iconic fantasy/sci-fi franchises.

    See ?

     

    Am I the only one seing the hilarious double standard here ?

    Seems so.

     

    My premise is that creating ten different Toy Story & Finding Nemo in a lifetime is an impossible task for any person or entity.

    Or even adapting fictionnal material like a comic book or other source material and make it work on film is ultra hard :

    John Carter, Green Lantern, Suicide Squad, Lone Ranger, Green Hornet, Prince Of Persia, Assasin s Creed, Battleship ( lol), Pacific Rim, Speed racer, Jupiter Ascending, Tomorrow Land, Rampage, Wolverine 1   etc etc ring a bell ?

    Even Mad Max Fury Road barely mad its money back & BR 2049 lost money.

    The list goes on and on, dozens, hundreds of big blockbusters  films failed, creatively, commercially or both.

     

    YOu think Disney could afford more flops on the magnitude of Prince of Perisa,  Sorcerer's Apprentice, Tomorrow Land, John Carter and Lone Ranger just to prove that, in your eyes, they are creative and take enough risks ?

     

    Plus, what s wrong with giving new films with characters and worlds people love ?

     

    People whine about the Marvel formula all day, but their(well,his) genius until now has been to be able to add just enough novelty with each new film to keep people interested & excited to move people s butts in seats.

    Are the three Captain American movies the same ?

    The MCU team is very self aware of that and every franchise producer too.

    You are all forgetting on purpose all the franchises starters hopefuls that crashed and burnt at the box office to allow yourself to whine in an unjust manner about franchise filmmaking.

     

    The flop list goes on and on but when you invest 100 to 300m in a movie your margin of error is pretty thin and then you learn the notion of taking a risk is absolutely not what you think it is.

    Every movie is taking a risk, nut its nature and scope can be very different.

     

    I remember Scott Derrickson saying how hard it had been to sell the world and laws of Dr Strange to audiences and make it work on film, everything had to be somewhat coherent, plausible & understandable to audiences when you are dealing with magic and inter-dimensionnal Gods & forces.

    Bong Joon Ho took two hours to explain to you there are haves and have nots, that is is not cool, and that their co-existence can be somewhat difficult.

    Breaking news information, call CNN. 

     

    The director of Parasite couldn't create ten new Toy Story and Fast & Furious if he tried, Cameron,  Lucas, Spielberg ,Nolan could not either.

     

    Plus it is way harder to do it in a real live action film setting than in animation where you can cheat way more with the suspension of disbelief :

    Boss Baby in a live action anyone ? Good luck with that.

    The baby in Incredibles 1&2 would be impossible to do in a live action setting too and he is a an audience favorite, same goes for all the crazy stuff that happens in Spiderman Into the Multiverse you just couldn't do in live action.

    That s why sometimes people say they feel there is more creativity & new Ips in animation blockbusters than live action ones.

     

    To cut a long story short, my premise is the following :

     

    Making Good Fellas is easier to do than Making The Avengers.

    But they are both herculean tasks done by brilliant men and women.

    Yet, conceited cinephiles are condescending,  patronizing and arrogant with one of these two films, i'll let you guess witch one of the two.

    You have the right to prefer one to another, but you sould treat both of them with equal respect, at the very least.

     

    The more things change, the more they stay the same.

     

    Open an history book on Star Wars whith hundreds of articles and quotes of  late 70's sci-fi writers and critics about how stupid and void George lucas creation was, how it was silly escapism for the masses).

     

    Some of you sound like those grumpy late 70's guys I am referring to sometimes.

    Tl;dr
