  1. So how GvK's success can help WB to take back their decision of simultaneous HBO max debut? At least for Dune, although I hope they reconsider their entire 2021 plan.....
  2. Since Monday is a semi-holiday I should just roll Monday number in for that >50m illusion.
  3. Actually I am little bit disappointed with <50m for 5 days. Obviously this is the first 20m, 30m opener since pandemic begin but I was so hyped for 50m 5 days since there are multiple predictions here that peg that number at >50m. Seeing the movie achieving lesser is just not satisfying enough.
  4. Or is it simply because of the original YA loving generation turns older?
  5. I would prefer this to move to Dec2021 but one thing got me worried is, the covid-19 seem tend to explode during winter season , this may give rise risk to Dune.
  6. The higher the original opening number go ,the less likely u can just 3x their opening weekend. T&J is unlikely to hit 40m with that dismal reviews and GvK benefit from the lack of blockbuster that give it some novelty advantage.
  7. GvK outrun KOTM in just 2 weeks! And now china contributing about 48% of its total ww gross
  8. Such a pity that UK is unable to join the list. I can expect at least 10m from UK alone
  9. WwY did 7.8m but without Canada and pandemic issue, 5m should be within reach. And anime fan base are usually more passionate especially in NA, therefore I expect their retention rate to be high even with pandemic out there. Dragon ball 10m++ is out of reach for sure. I am hoping for higher number like 10m+ simply because DS did outperform WwY in almost every non-Japanese market, so naturally I hope that happen too to NA market.
  10. But more often than not , shorter films did have the problem of lazy storytelling or non-sensical plot
  11. I was hoping for 50m 5 days....but turns out there are still room that we need for that number. Anyway, one can understand now how important LA/NY are after this week as GvK become the first film to have both cities in the debut market.
  12. Do you sense any "underperformance" due to capacity constraint ? or GvK is genuinely unable to hit higher?
  13. Stronger late-night walk-ups possible for holiday eve? Are cinema allowed to have midnight show?
  14. GvK is a solid enjoyable film but without a big blockbuster in month elevate the movie to a great entertainment event when all things went south.
  15. I hope this buzz-making headline number can propel GvK box office further in this weekend. I expect 44m 5 days.
  16. Didn't they know this week is Easter week? Also, the capacity restriction and absence of Regal will end up killing off the holdovers more than usual so it is likely to witness some notable drop this week
  17. Looks like GvK have enough strength to defend its ground for this coming holiday weekend.
  18. Unlike Tenet and WW84, GvK is the first true tentpole since pandemic hit with the support from both NY and LA where they are back online. The only "disappointment" is the absence of Canada market. Based on that improvement alone, GvK should make 30m in 3 days instead of 5 days like how Variety and Deadline projected.
  19. Some information on theater count. While the movie is booked at 3000 theaters or 6000 screens, the most for any wide release during the pandemic after Tenet‘s 2,810 and WW1984‘s 2,151. On the upside for Warner Bros, it will have full control of Imax and PLFs for the month of April between Godzilla vs. Kong and Mortal Kombat. Of the former’s theater count, 285 sites are Imax auditoriums, 650 are PLF screens, over 700 are 3D, with another 150 drive-ins. Extracted from Deadline, but they didn't include T&J when it opened at 2475 theaters. Also, I am surprised at WW84 managed to retain 1000++ theaters after 14 weeks although its leg hasn't been great. I guess all those will be reallocated to GvK by this week
  20. Even Monday daily gross show some great hold among holdovers, and this show some Easter holiday effect already.
  21. Most of the them have opening estimation at 30m 5 days. that would imply that 3 days weekend number to be in the same range of ww84. To me that number really have nothing to cheer about when everything have improved a lot more from December last year.
  22. Only orange county officials have confirmed they will apply 50% cap but Los angles local officials have not given their clearance to cinema. It is possible LA would only apply 50% cap on next week, which is kind of sad since how desperate we need a bombastic headline to put thing back on track
  23. Hope all the anticipation and hype doesn't lead to bigger meltdown......BoT projection is significantly higher than media outlets.
  24. @Menor@WandaLegion@Porthos @keysersoze123and the rest. Updated with L.A. County cleared to move to 50% capacity at cinemas: https://deadline.com/2021/03/godzilla-vs-kong-opening-weekend-box-office-record-1234724112/ After the posting of this story, L.A. and Orange Counties were among eight regions progressing to the Orange tier, which means movie theaters can operate at 50% capacity. We’ll know after the 3PM press conference today if that goes into effect as early as tomorrow. If so, even more great news for Godzilla vs. Kong. Not sure if this is a finalized decision but seem like they are expecting it to be official after 3pm
  25. Deadline projecting 20-30m 5 days opening https://deadline.com/2021/03/godzilla-vs-kong-opening-weekend-box-office-record-1234724112/ the Legendary monster mash is expected to deliver the biggest domestic debut for a major studio movie during this span (since late March 2020) with an estimated $20M-$30M over Wednesday through Sunday. In regards to when Los Angeles moves to 50% capacity for indoor cinemas, we’ll hopefully know more today; the expectation is the benchmark won’t be notched until after Easter weekend. The only exception to that is if California hits 4 million vaccinations in disadvantaged communities. If that happens, the state will elevate to the Orange tier, which could be before this weekend. On the upside for Warner Bros, it will have full control of Imax and PLFs for the month of April between Godzilla vs. Kong and Mortal Kombat. Of the former’s theater count, 285 sites are Imax auditoriums, 650 are PLF screens, over 700 are 3D, with another 150 drive-ins.
