Flopped

Speaking of Euphoria, this was more entertaining than the show itself

It's true that even the biggest stars today are not known by people over a certain age. Honestly the average person probably won't know who Florence Pugh is. It's like they don't exist outside the film twitter/people under 25 bubble.

Hopefully this tweet gives Worst Person some attention. Great movie

Yikes...although its PTA is not that much lower than X's

Watching The Lost City, the audience doesnt for a second question Sandra Bullock (57) and Channing Tatum (41) as a couple. She was also 10+ years Ryan Reynolds' senior in The Proposal.

You're right that they're both past their prime (and Clooney was never truly a draw) but the two of them in a destination wedding comedy is more appealing than the two of them in a financial thriller.

Do you know what X is looking at today?

It doesn't have the adventure element that Lost City had. So they can't market it the same. And Julia is no longer as big a draw as Sandra. Julia had a bigger career peak than Sandra (it's insane how massive Pretty Woman and her string of hits were) but she hasn't had the same lasting appeal. I think it's because her brand of comedy is more sly, less broad and self-deprecating.

I just saw Lost City too. It's basically Romancing The Stone meets The Proposal. It doesn't do anything new or special but it's a fun, light romp and the audience was really into it.

I watched it. It's generic but fun. Brad Pitt steals the show. Channing is great too. Love Sandra but she's pretty much playing her character from The Proposal here, just 10% less bitchy. It played very well with the crowd.

Have you seen that trailer? There's nothing to suppose. It looks like a bad network TV adaptation.

I think more. This feels like the one that women have been waiting for, and guys won't mind tagging along. And obviously it will drop, but it's sitting at a 100 on RT with 19 reviews.

Yikes, including previews

Exactly, we've just accepted that good movies will flop while bad ones (like The Batman) will thrive.

here's the sad truth. no one knows how to market challenging movies and make them must-sees like the Weinsteins did. if they were behind X, they would have made you HAVE to go see it and opened it to 10m+. keep in mind Scream 2022 would not exist if they didn't know how to make Scream 1996 a must-see. they even famously fudged its numbers to make it look bigger and more important than it was. there were disputes claiming it actually grossed in the 80m range, and never broke 100m. they also inflated Scream 2's opening to 39m but were caught redhanded and had to lower it down. they knew how to eventize small movies. all that to say, when those sickos were justly kicked out of the industry, a void was left, and no one has been able to fill it, because no one can do what they did.

gonna need the ageless Miss Speed to rescue the box office next week

I say more like 4-4.5. Man oh man this is sad for a great moving opening on 3000 screens on a wide open weekend. Every day we sink deeper and deeper.

who is that

Someone give us X and Umma #s plz

Are we thinking Lost City could hit 30M?

Is there any chance of X hitting 5M for the weekend?

X is awesome. Umma is forgettable.

Was hoping for more for X especially since the A24 "fanbase" probably showed up early.
