I think this would put the true fss insanely close to nttd
How unexpected is that??
Still puzzled over NTTD. I mean, I know the reasons floating out there, but still surprised at the end of the day. Thought the film would get more of a "last hurrah" at the box office.
On another note though: what an October!

Friday ------> $23,000,000
Saturday --> $19,300,000 (-16.1%)
Sunday ----> $11,500,000 (-40.4%)
Weekend -> $53,800,000
First time trying this. Too generous?

Haha no worries my friend. It was more of a general lament because I know you're right to a degree.

Agree here. In fact, I think there's going to be a lot of reshuffling in 2022. Throughout the pandemic studios just needed dates to stash the films they delayed. Now that things are getting back on track they're going to start to reorganize. No way Avatar 2 and Aquaman 2 open on the same date. I can buy them both opening close together over the holidays but the same date? Nah.
To add to this: I think Indy 5 should move to Memorial Day weekend. Those movies have a MD weekend history with the exception of the first one only, I think.

Indy will move. I don't think it would have a prayer against BA. I honestly have no idea how popular the character is but The Rock playing a super hero seems like a giant hit. Indy is way past his prime and I would imagine it would seek a weekend to itself.

Nobody reads books
Should have explained it in a Disney+ series
That's kinda sad....

I still want to know what was going on when the Empire sat down and decided to rebrand to The First Order.
It's explained in the books, namely the Aftermath trilogy.

Deadline article
Icelandic horror folktale Lamb moves from 500 to over 800 screens after viewers – can we say flocked? – to the Ari Aster-ish genre pic (Hereditary in 2018 was also from A24). Adventure documentary The Rescue, by the directors of Free Solo, where intrepid divers save a Thai boys soccer club trapped in a remote flooded cave, expands from five screens to 552.
Ah, maybe I should keep Deadline/Variety etc. around in my bookmarks.

800 screens this weekend
Thank you! I did not see that on The Numbers theatre counts article.

Anyone know if LAMB is expanding wide this weekend?

I hope this movie makes +$100M in the US
I hope it makes a lot more than that! Dare I hope...? I want to see families back at the movies again, especially for animation.

Sitting with some neighbors, all over 60, at a restaurant this morning and I told them how much I loved NTTD. To a one, they all said they would wait until it streams. I said, "But don't you want to see it on the big screen?" and one replied, "I have a big screen. It's in my basement." 😞
Depressing.... How anyone can compare even a top notch home theatre system to an actual movie theatre is beyond me. People just don't want to leave their homes for anything.

It's gonna get single screens at each small to midsize theater (and not a ton of screens at large theaters), and of those screens, they will not be the largest size, b/c Dune has already taken them...so its presale set is at a very low available seat level vs a "big animated movie"...
Thank you for explaining that! Yes that paints a horrible picture for Ron's Gone Wrong. Animated movies usually aren't the ones plugged into that small auditorium at the back corner of the theatre unless they're months into their runs. They need a good set of showtimes and screens.
All that to say, this one is destined to fail....

That's fair. Personally, I am of the opinion that we are going to have to eat a few failures and rough patches to get back to normal. We need to slowly rebuild the audience and get people going to the movies again normally over many months. If we keep delaying things or putting them on streamers, the market will never get back to normal. We have to release and promote these things and rebuild bit by bit, even if it means a few failures at first. Last Duel has to die so something like Nightmare Alley or West Side Story can live.
I like this. I agree 100%. It applies to the current situation in the world in general. We can't keep delaying and hiding all that. Just have to gradually put one foot before the other and move forward. People will be encouraged to go back to the movies again after a steady stream of these movies releasing. If they don't and keep getting delayed it sort of perpetuates the feeling that things will never be normal again, if that makes sense.

It is the most widely advertised kid movie this year (having been the "kid free movie" ad ALL summer, and now on every other movie now) that has now also become a schedule dump...if it succeeds, it won't be b/c of good date placement, b/c right now, it's getting the worst release schedule possible with the worst presale set possible...
Sorry hun I'm new here. What do you mean by presale set?

Gucci+Richard combined under Eternals OD
Oooooh my. This either means very good things for Eternals or very bad things for House of Gucci and King Richard.

I'm a little concerned at how little business this will do. The Addams Family 2 is doing okay I guess, but families still aren't showing up en masse for animated films. Hopefully I'm wrong and this succeeds, which would bode well for Encanto being the first big animated film in a long time.

I'm all for vaccines for everyone but I must say I'm getting sick of people jumping down other people's throats for having a different opinion. I'd understand if this was as deadly as ebola but when your survival chance is 99%, I'm not going to call young people stupid for not bothering. People love a good moan, the way I see it is Im vaccinated, therefore I couldn't give a fuck if people around me were vaccinated too.
Now the only time I could imagine this being a concern is if you're a business owner and your staff keep going off sick with a covid because they don't wanna get vaccinated, that would piss me off, but people posting on a movie forum really don't have the right to moan as loudly as they do. If they are jabbed then they are safe, it's not worth arguing over
I'm glad I'm not the only one here, though I'm not going to wade into this subject. I finally found a place that discusses what I love so I'm just going to enjoy that, especially since I can't go watch any of these films in theatres for obvious reasons....

I've been looking forward to this since last year when the first trailer was released! I hope it'll be opening fairly wide, though I have my doubts. The Numbers site has this opening wide on their movie schedule but I don't really trust them. Their schedule has been all over the place.

yup. $350k Thursday preview number.
I love how deadline try to spin it being a turn off for viewers due to the subject matter. Like that’s turning viewers off from watching, say, Squid Game at the moment.
Fact is, there’s a way too high proportion of older audiences that are only coming out for recognisable IP. And they are embarrassing. Hell, I love all the IP movies too, but I would love to have a conversation with a 50 year old grown adult as to why he’ll go day one for any Marvel superhero movie, but not a Ridley Scott one.
I don’t blame the youngsters. They’re showing up and keeping the business going. But these middle-aged plus audiences really need to get their act together. Nobody can blame it on the pandemic as they’re showing up for Venom and James Bond. Hell, they’ll show up for an art film in a few weeks because Marvel have made it!
Why won’t they go and see a movie like The Last Duel? It’s insane. I’m not even talking about significant numbers. Just a couple of million grown adults to go and see a major Hollywood movie with great reviews and an all-star cast. Ffs.
Preaching so much truth here. I literally have nothing to add. You nailed it.

I'm wondering this too. I'm guessing it won't go wide. Even the most premium platform releases are struggling to make money. Still a long way to go for these films.
