2's script was, despite some nice tricks, pretty straightforward; can't imagine anyone being wowed by it (script the only thing that existed in 2014, "mouth open" quote date); I still have hope that one of the avatar sequels (probably 4) will end up having an all-timer of a script for a blockbuster

loved it (was my #1 movie of 2022 after all), but I didn't really feel the need to "s**t with my mouth open", and outside of the technical aspects it didn't feel particularly revolutionary

you cant blame them, like at all

whats more impressive: france or germany?

i wouldn't know what to say at that point imagine where they'd be if doctor strange 2 was well received

how did you get your hands on my diary?

but staying flat internationally, kinda weird

mario might be an animated movie, but does it have animated movie demos? that's where the legs come from

that consistent with what you said in the morning about 450?

did you know people are now calling you key? I used to think your username was keyser-zone (misspelled version of geyser-zone); just remembered the usual suspects was a thing

then that makes the next question somewhat easy, would the rest of the markets have made up the difference between dom-int?

apart from those that always do 5-days (france and Korea), did the rest of the world also have 5-days?

would have agreed with you if not for the missing markets, feel like those pretty much "lock" a billion

I dont agree

thats just the way videogamers have been trained to be movies can survive and even thrive with a yellow mc, while for games that is a death sentence

they rallied and mobilized the troops (of nintendrones), plus kids are always going to watch the latest illumination movie, especially if it has a character they know

surely you have to find a way to fit dead reckoning in there, 6 pretty much adjusts to a billion, and top gun can good-will could maybe add 200 million on top of it (which will probably be enough) nowhere near a lock, but maybe 10%

is this what people mean when they talk about the great replacement?

how many imaxes will suzume get next weekend? doubt any any theater owner would like to part with Mario, but who knows what the contract says

Despicable me 2 did 32% of its 5-day on weekend 2, so 70 seems reasonable

from my point of view, one of the main things that ended up making Mario a (financial) success, was the fact that Nintendo was fully on board, Detective Pikachu, outside of the IP, never really made an attempt to court Nintendo fans; by making Nintendo directs focused solely on the movie, they told Nintendo fans, and most importantly, nintendo-related "influencers" that it was okay (and maybe even expected) to be excited about the movie you can talk kids all you want, but 62% of the audience were 18 to 34 year olds pretty solid marketing plan

you should watch rise of gru, its the same basic illumination movie as Mario but done much better
