    This is such a wildcard. I'm not sure the marketing has entirely caught on and Birds of Prey proved Harley herself is not a big enough draw to carry a movie. (I really liked Birds of Prey). DC is just very inconsistent in general and there's probably some confusion as to whether this is a sequel or not. This feels on paper something that SHOULD hit 100m but will probably do Shazam numbers? I'm not concerned quality wise, however. I think the trailers are just bad. I know someone who attended a screening last year and loved it despite a choppy 1st act with some forced humor that didn't land. Expects it to be huge since it's a major crowdpleaser and plays well It's also disappointing HBOMAX has ruined Thursday previews. Would have been a fun 7pm show

    What is the mid-credit scene

    Cinemark here just added 3 Thursday RealD 3D showtimes (515, 825, 1140 for BW). I have not seen a 3D showtime since Skywalker, maybe. Now the total is 3 XDs and 9 regular showtimes for Thursday

    I'll be honest, I'm not totally excited about this. I think Spiderverse was overrated (minority, I know) and the writers here are already at a disadvantage since they have to continue the Far From Home storylines. Not a fan of the black costume either so I'm afraid this could just be an overbloated MCU fest as opposed to a Spiderman movie. But of course, given the "possibilities", there's still a novelty factor I can't resist and maybe they pull off some interesting ideas regarding the identity of Peter Parker and what it means to be Spider-Man That said, it would be VERY underwhelming if the trailer doesn't lean into everything at this point.

    Anecdotal or not, nothing about the sales locally indicate anything less than 90m to me. Would be absurdly frontloaded from Thursday shows. I still think 95m+ is a good bet

    Dude, people have different opinions but Marvel is the largest franchise in the world so whatever you're rambling about is the minority opinion. You're not the definitive statement on this matter. I agree some declarations can be overkill but the reason for Marvel's success is how they can seamlessly smuggle other genres into the superhero format (Winter Soldier, Guardians, etc) for mass audiences. They're not "trying so hard to make these things more than what they are". Other than The Dark Knight, this was nearly unprecedented at the time in regards to superhero movies so it's natural they'd have this reaction

    I don't think cheap discount Tuesday has returned to all theaters nationwide yet

    After raising the bar on what a movie can open to during the pandemic with F9‘s $70M weekend, Universal is adding a one-two wide release punch to the weekend with the debut of two titles geared at two different demos: DreamWorks Animation’s The Boss Baby: Family Business which is set to do $15M+ and Blumhouse’s The Forever Purge which is looking at $10M+ over 3-days. Together with the second weekend of the studio’s F9, which is speeding toward another $28M (-60%), all three movies will not only own the top three spots at the B.O. for Uni, but bring the studio a weekend of $53M+. https://deadline.com/2021/06/f9-boss-baby-family-business-forever-purge-universal-owns-july-4th-weekend-box-office-1234783750/

    I won't even begin to tally yet but judging by my theaters, the Thursday for Black Widow will be astronomical. I genuinely think 15m is on the table. Ant-Man and the Wasp had 11.5 and I see no reason given the tracking and buzz this would be lower. I don't know what that means for the overall weekend and how frontloaded it'd be, especially factoring in Disney+ and the pandemic, but I'm feeling good about 95m+ Ant-Man and the Wasp- 11.5m Thursday/75m weekend Justice League- 13m Thursday/93m weekend Solo- 14.1 Thursday/84m weekend Spiderman Homecoming- 15.4m Thursday/117m weekend Guardians vol 2- 17m Thursday/146m weekend Captain Marvel- 20.7m Thursday/153.4m weekend

    F9 gets a B+ cinemascore

    B+ cinemascore for F9

    I saw it. The 7pm showing was a nice size. Appropriate audience reactions. Overall, I'm somewhat underwhelmed. I expected more action--the trailers pretty much reveal all 3 big setpieces. But what the film offered in that department, still delivered. I understand why the reception is very mixed. Even for Fast and Furious, it's very plot-driven and melodramatic. The 2nd act will be a problem for many. It might not be "fun" enough. The lack of The Rock really deflates the energy. Cena isn't very memorable. I'd say it opens mid 60s and falls 60%+ next weekend. Wouldn't be surprised if The Boss Baby beats it for #1

    F9 sales have really picked up at my theater for Thursday. The Cinemark XD 7pm has 45 seats sold. The small independent theater's 7pm showing so far has 17 sold. AMC's 8pm IMAX is about half-full already with 79 tickets. The 7pm Dolby is almost soldout too--78 seats

    Going to theaters is all I have, this is making me so sad. Every Thursday night was like a therapy session and I miss it. I thankfully and safely got to experience New Mutants and Tenet. With Wonder Woman moving, I have nothing to look forward to. Hopefully the Nov releases stay but... Maybe Kajillionaire will expand here when it opens and I can see. But I’m not risking everything for Broken Hearts Gallery. I just want this all to be ok
  16. BestPicturePlutoNash
    How low will Broken Hearts Gallery go? Under 2m opening, right?
  17. BestPicturePlutoNash
    I bet WB is really regretting that Dune trailer drop this Wed now i really hope Wonder Woman doesn’t move but I’m afraid
  18. BestPicturePlutoNash
    20m including two Canada weekends and 4 additional domestic weekdays is awful. Obviously this would be a different story if NYC and LA were open but this is a bad start. It’s sad because international numbers are on fire and I want more movies this year. I hope WB doesn’t move WW84 but I feel like they have no choice
  19. BestPicturePlutoNash
    Dude you keep posting this every time the movie is discussed here. It’s over. It had an underwhelming opening. Accept it now, the industry will.
  20. BestPicturePlutoNash
    Nah, Tenet isn't hitting VOD anytime soon. It'll just stay in theaters until they open in NY/LA whenever that is. I imagine it'll still be playing in October no matter how weak the opening is/bad legs are. WB won't pull it and theaters currently have no product This will probably discourage other studios from releasing this year. Maybe WW84 stays and Bond/Black Widow since they're committed and can rely on international markets.

    Piracy won’t kill theatrical run.
  22. BestPicturePlutoNash
    It’s bad
  23. BestPicturePlutoNash
    I enjoyed Tenet and it's great to be back in a theater but the film has glaring flaws that prevent it from greatness. It's not consistently engaging or "fun" as something like Inception. It also ends on a whimper instead of a bang like most Nolan films. In my theater of about a dozen, the reaction seemed mixed. WB needed a better than expected OW for the good buzz and goodwill. It's a movie that will play better on the coasts than it will to middle-America where theaters are open
  24. BestPicturePlutoNash
    It’s underwhelming in North America with no timetable for NA/LA openings. It’s already disappointed in China
  25. BestPicturePlutoNash
    It’s already below industry tracking so it’s not a good figure
