No to all this assumption fest.
I'm sorry but not invested on if TGM crosses 700M or not. It's already a historical success and if it crosses 700M I will celebrate. But I don't really think about it that much anymore. When it happens, it happens.
And Yes, horribly boring. Mack & Rita making less 2M, Fall also, Bodies Bodies Bodies doesn't seem to be a breakout. Boring movies with bad to ok performances. Mostly a dumping yard that won't get in the Top 10 except BBB. Bullet Train 2nd Weekend drop does look to be quite big. Let's see. And just holdovers remaining.
And next weekend I see potential with Beast and Dragon Ball like I said which makes really excited and none of them is opening to 200M. But nice try.
Summmary: A awfully slow weekend, with studios trying to take advantage of it with movies with bare marketing and that no one really cares and that the studios probably don't either or have no confidence. And the lack of new releases and those few releases not performing as well as they should is sad.
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.
August 2023 does look MUCH better and MAYBE this August just suffered from VFX backlog.
And the next few weeks do have stronger movies releasing.
Maybe BodiesBB comes with some really good holds in the coming weeks also.
