A couple of things. @maggie stop trolling, please. A review saying it's not as good as FALLOUT or pointing out that a film has flaws it's not automatically a bad review. It's gonna have lesser RT rating than FALLOUT. That's clear. Even the 80s would be good. Look, GOTG3 had 82% and that film is faring rather well. The audience score will be higher, because they won't care as much about a villain's weak backstory.
So when you guys are saying 80m 5-day, you do realize that the maligned INDIANA JONES is doing 80m 5-day. You are saying that MI:DR will open below FLASH for 3-day?
And finally, yes, MI:DR WW tally will be at 225-250m WW by Sunday.
I honestly can not understand Maggie. She pretends like she is a fan of these movies but seems to look for anything she perceives as negative about it. Very passive aggressive and weird. She did this for TG Maverick also.

Majority of the initial reactions calling it an incredible thrill ride and calling the climatic train sequence the best such sequence in history...all of that just to be boiled down to this?
And don't forget Haley Atwell is being shoved down our throats also. His takes on this movie.

That July 21-23 weekend could not come fast enough right now. If Barbenheimer hits the way we except and Mission has WOM in it's favor to survive that. We are looking at a damm good weekend that could fuel the rest of the summer until early fall at least. Haunted Mansion could surprise, TMNT could, Meg 2 is a wildcard, and Sony is really pushing Gran Turismo . Blue Beattle eh and then on Labor Day weekend Denzel with Equalizer 3 should do his norrmal solid business for this type of movie. If it all goes wrong then yes maybe the sky is falling people around here will be vindicated. Fingers crossed that does not happen.

Saw it and loved it. The end. Could care less whether it is a massive bomb or not. Can't do anything about that. Not going to go down the rabbit hole of negativity that is on this forum and so many other places.

Which is why I only come here sparingly. Even when the box office was doing fine pre pandemic this place was all doom and gloom.
Trying to to pull myself away from here and not be on it so much. The problem is where to go to talk BO. Reddit is far worse from what i hear. And there are some people on here who are rational and reasonable and not all everything sucks its all coming to a end the sky is falling.

Indy showing better legs than Flash so far. Its Preview to OD is 3.3. The Flash was 2.4. And the weekend should continue that I would figure.

You know what would be the best outcome for the Box Office in July? Barbie blows up because it brings in every female of every Demo. So what do the Dads, Sons, and Brothers do while the Mom's Daughters, and Sisters are seeing it? They go see MI or Oppenheimer.and maybe still Indy. And since there will be women that see those movies and Men who see Barbie everybody wins. Pre 2020 I would 100% be confident that would happen. Fingers crossed that happens and from July 12 on will be a fun time to follow Box Office. Much funner than the dirge it is right now.

As far as expectations vs. reality is concerned, The Flash is definitely a much more embarrassing flop than Indiana Jones could ever be simply because the studio for the former worked overtime trying to will it into being a blockbuster until the very last second. The latter was always more of a gamble that had no hook beyond "we (again) finally made another one" and therefore had more room to go either way.
This all the way. Just speaking for myself I gave up on the Box Office of Indy a long time ago. Once the Cannes debacle happened the goose was cooked for this. That's probably is why International is so bad. In Europe that was major news the reception was not good at all.Seeing the movie today. As long as I enjoy it all I care about right now. As for the Flash, which I did enjoy, I and many others probably thought they would will it to being a blockbuster at the end. I think at the end of the year more people will be talking about the implosion of the DCEU while nobody will be talking about Indy. Heck in a few weeks nobody will be talking about it. it will be on Disney Plus and people will watch it either enjoy or not and move on.

B+ isn't great but it's not terrible either, especially for a movie that's playing to mostly older audiences who are harsher critics than the under 25 demo. Should have average legs if I had to guess, still has a shot at having a decent enough hold for #1 next weekend before MI7 and Barbenheimmer obliterate it. But yeah, I don't think we'll see another Harrison Ford Indy movie, and if I were Disney I'd wait a bit before trying to reboot the franchise.
Have a hard time seeing it not be number one next weekend. Unless it does drop hard after an inflated holiday weekend and Insidious 4 or 5 whatever it is way over achieves. The way things have been going lately that could happen.I guess.

Whoever decided to premiere this at CANNES should be banned from the industry. Its had a month long negative buzz.
You would think Bob C was still in charge not Bob I.

We are going to see Indy 5 tomorrow night though. I was on the fence but I was talked into it and I'm kinda into the idea now because I was just watching Raiders of the Lost Ark tonight.
That's cool. Going in with a positive attitude. Feels like a lot of people don;t do that anymore.

I know that. I still think it's annoying and that a lot of blockbuster movies today feel padded and don't use their long runtimes well. Just because long movies are successful doesn't mean I can't criticize them.
Wasn't directing that at you. That's why I didn't make my comment a response to yours. A few other people made that complaint too. Weird you would think I directed just at you. Just expressing my opinion on not having a problem with long movies as long as I feel the runtime was used well.

Interesting we're getting so many openings in the same range, Fast x, TF7, Flash, Indie, MI7 looks to be in that range and possibly Oppenheimer as well. Does this mean blue beetle and/or Meg 2 break out?
Do you really think that the Meg 2 and Blue Beetle are going to out open MI 7 and these other movies? I don't think so.

Also, didn’t know it was suddenly cool to bash Mangold??? Practically all of his movies before this have been generally well received, so I really don’t think he was the big problem…
Exactly now we hate James Magnold! I swear people around here.

Yeah movies are too long and people are getting sick of it. That's why Avatar:WOW, John Wick Chpt4, and Guardians 3 bombed. Oh wait no they didn't. Maybe length is not the issue maybe it is how the length is used. A 3 hour movie can feel like 90 minutes and a 90 minute movie can feel like 3 hours.

Deadline, so take with a grain of salt of course, is saying 24 for friday, so backing out 7.2 previews true friday is 16.8.
If those numbers are close this does not look like it will be a Flash like complete implosion. Not great but could be much worst.

Any predictions for Indy’s opening day? Or have I missed them?

MI7 will probably make $800m+ but the journey towards that destination will be excruciating as a Box office tracking and MI fan
And their are people , ok mostly just one person, on this forum, that will make it excruciating and will be even more insufferable.

They absolutely will not. Everything is tribal these days.

Denver look great for MI, Orlando looks not so great. Maybe some areas are just more interested than others.

By playing well outside the metros where MTC1 has the bigger footprint (as PBO noted in their forecast). TGM had a PSM of $67.5/tix and over $70 for just Thursday (without the added weight of the PLF EA shows). Sacto is probably the most dad-action/casual old man market tracked in here, and those comps point to $8M. Weakness elsewhere should drag that number down, but I've been balkparking at $63/tix PSM for Alpha, and a 115K final should clear $7M, if not closer to mid-$7s
Also the Weekend IM should be good with it being a extended holiday for a lot of people and if WOM is good with the regular folk. The people outside the Metros who don't live their life online.

This is awesome. Hope people get the message. You can see multiple movies of different genres and not make it tribal.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 | July 12 2023 | 99% on Rotten Tomatoes! | 290M budget so far, Cruise holding Paramount hostage for more money
in Box Office Discussion

And as said if Indy can do 80 million for 5 days Mission is gonna certainly do it and more with much more favorable conditions to its advantage and it will do much more internationally.
