True. I just find it interesting how March 2024 could just be a repeat of March 2023. Dune 2 domestic opening weekend similar to JW4. Kung Fu Panda opening weekend similar to Shazam 2. Ghostbusters opening weekend similar to Dungeons and Dragons. Godzilla Kong opening weekend similar to Creed 3.

SATURDAY AM: Lionsgate’s John Wick: Chapter 4 received its best grade ever from audiences, with a solid A CinemaScore and 5 Stars on Comscore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak, and grosses held largely steady over Friday night with $29.4M. That’s still the best opening day for the franchise on its way to a series record $70.6M debut. Imax and PLFs are driving 38% of ticket sales here. In regards to admissions, EntTelligence reports that over a third of the pic’s foot traffic has been in Imax, PLF, and 4DX locations. At a ratio that high, and as the box office comes back from the pandemic, we just need more of those auditoriums, no? Its not Dune's 48% but JW4 was invested in PLFs

Dune 2 is basically repeating John Wick 4 from the posttrak scores, to the true Friday box office number. Dune 2 posttrak. Last night’s Screen Engine/Comscore PostTrak exits were from another galaxy at 5 stars, 94% positive. Dune 2 - A CinemaScore. Dune 2 - 20.5m ish true Friday. John Wick: Chapter 4 received its best grade ever from audiences, with a solid A CinemaScore and 5 Stars on Comscore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak. More great exits on John Wick: Chapter 4 show 93% on PostTrak, an 82% definite recommend. John Wick 4 pure Friday number 20.5m

John Wick 4 was also 93% positive. Dune playing way more to older white males but that's not a surprise. More great exits on John Wick: Chapter 4 show 93% on PostTrak, an 82% definite recommend, the latter which is higher than John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum‘s 75% definite recommend. The latest installment was 69% guy-leaning, 56% between 18-34, with 31% between 25-34, the latter the largest quad. Diversity demos strong across all sectors with 32% Caucasian (vs. Parbellum‘s 42%), 28% Latino and Hispanic (vs 22%), 19% Black (same as last film), & 21% Asian/other (vs. 14%). Similar to Parabellum, guys over 25 were the biggest group, this time at a huge 48% (vs. part 3’s 45%), followed by women over 25 at 22%, which tied with guys under 25 at the same ratio. Women under 25 didn’t care, showing up at 8%. For Parabellum, women over 25 clocked 29%, while males under 25 were at 18%. High grades from men under/over 25 and women over 25 at north of 93% for part 4.

Ghostbusters has a big fanbase. Had to go back because for some reason I remember people being surprised by the day 1 sales of Afterlife. Keysersoze called it's opening correctly first day of sales Ghostbusters Afterlife MTC1 Previews(T-17) - 10849/337977 190041.99 1599 shows Friday(T-18) - 6398/515675 106157.10 2388 shows Not bad at all. Definitely see it opening above 40m as I posted earlier. Let us see how things move for this. Nostalgia FTW. Edited November 2, 2021 by keysersoze123 This wont be frontloaded when its comes to its IM. So it needs 4m to hit 40m. For that it needs 75K in MTC1. I cant see it missing from here. Let us see how things go rest of its Presales.

I thought the movie looked amazing and was really into it but his turn I honestly didnt get. Edit: I still give the film an A. Imax was great.

My Local Cinemark. Standard showing for Dune $13. All other movies $12,25.

They didnt worry about the quality of the script for the past 5 movies

February is finally over. 360m'ish gross for the month under 1996 February's box office. I was thinking March 2024 would match March 2023 but digging deeper into the numbers the holdovers from February are super weak but I think the smaller films like Cabrini, Arthur the King and Imaginary close the gap. I think March grosses 620m a little under March 2023 638m. Dune 180m Kung Fu Panda 100m Cabrini, Arthur the King and Imaginary 50m each. Ghostbusters 80m. Kong 60m. February holders 50m.

Boxofficemojo has February box office at 281m as of Thursday. Add in this weekend and a few weekdays, February will around 360m. March 2024 is looking like a repeat of March 2023 and April 2024 is looking dead when April 2023 had Mario. 2024 box office by the end of April could be around 600m behind 2023. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/month/?ref_=bo_nb_hm_secondarytab

RIP Madame Web

I dont believe the Oscar campaign nonsense. This release date is a dump. Seems like people are in denial.

Per Deadline. What’s key about the date is that Warner Bros will have Imax, furthermore next January is starving for wide releases. But the reason why the studio went with this date is to play off Lunar New Year in South Korea. The title is a major part of Warner Bros.’ CinemaCon presentation this year. Originally, Mickey 17 was to go on March 29, shortly after Dune: Part Two this year but the strikes pushed the movie. We kept hearing it wasn’t ready. Still that didn’t stop everyone from panting that the sci-fi feature could hit Cannes. There were never any plans for the movie to go to Cannes. While a Jan. 31 theatrical release indicates this movie likely won’t be teed off for the 2024 Oscar season, an awards push could still be in the mix. The studio is testing Mickey 17 in the coming weeks. Currently on Jan. 31 is Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s Dog Man.

M3gan, Man From Otto, Jesus Revolution and Cocaine Bear all made between 50-100m the first couple months last year and I dont remember people calling the marketplace heathy. You would preach theaters don't care about a movies budget they care how much the movie grosses. Movie fans can like big blockbusters and goofy action like Beekeeper. Theaters need event movies without them you get months like January & February 2024 where the grosses are pulling in numbers from the 90s.

What did Marvel almost kill off? In 2018, you had Black Panther make 700m domestic, Infinity War 678m domestic. The same year, Crazy Rich Asians made 174m domestic, A Star is Born 213m, Bohemian Rhapsody 216m. Halloween 159m domestic, A Quiet Place 188m. Green Book 85m domestic, Vice and BlackKKlansman doing almost 50m. The Favorite made 34m. The Mule 103m. I Can Only Imagine 83m. A lot of other genres made money as Marvel also made a ton of money. This weekend's box office is off 44% vs the same weekend last year. This weekend is 20% off the same weekend 2 years ago. It's hard to see how things are looking up. When Dune 2 opens it'll hurt all the other movies out...we have seen this happen post covid whenever the big new event movie opens.

I saw it yesterday night because we celebrated V-day Friday with a dinner and a movie. We thought it would be funny bad but was just bad, bad.

Madame Web was awful. Elektra bad. Even in a barren marketplace its still going to drop like rock.

Agree, Disney pulled an Enron with the most viewed trailer number. But, like the comment above said its doing well. Disney just cooked the books a little well alot, lol

Im not sure how anyone can say this film or that film had a bigger promo campaign since we dont know but in the United States I've seen ads for Marley non stop for the past few weeks.

Has to be. This looks Catwoman bad.

Who is this random person? I clicked on their profile to see if they are just nailing box office predictions and the Reddit user has Kung Fu Panda opening to 85M and Dune 50M. Probably should follow someone else with better takes.

Obviously I was joking but god damn did they not even try to switch it up from the 1996 trailer

I love the confidence in your POV. Ryan Reynolds fatigue the guy been doing the same act forever. I didnt get a cameo filled event film from that trailer. I got another Deadpool movie. Guess we'll see.
