Really? Looking forward to that yeah but Furiosa, Bad Boys, IO 2, Horizons, QP Day One all before that. I assume you are not interested in any of those I guess.
I still have not seen a trailer for this in front of anything and there are some trailers I have seen a lot to the point of not again ugh. A post covid thing that many have experienced I think.
Really loved this. My second favorite movie of the year behind Dune Part 2. The World Building in this series of movies continues to astound me. Of the 4 most recent I would go 1)Dawn, 2)Kingdom, 3)War and 4)Rise. None of them less than 8 out of 10. As for Raka they could bring him back. You never see the body. Kind of surprised how quick they take him out of the story. As for Mae yeah they show that humans will look out for number one time and time again. But overall a great adventurous exciting movie.
It looks like it could be a solid weekend overall and this may be a happier thread. Right? Apes could get close to 60 if tonight's Walkups are good and it plays well the rest of the weekend. As I said about the Fall Guy earlier it could be so much worse. A 3.6 Friday off a true Friday last week of 7.3 would be pretty good considering the loss off PLF's. With a possible good Mothers day hold the weekend drop could be pretty decent. Still not enough to turn it into a hit or get it to 100 million DOM but that ship probably sailed last week.
Saw the new trailer for this in front of Apes today. Is there any difference between the Minion movies and the DM movies anymore? The last Minion movie was a Gru prequel and the trailer for this went so heavy on the Minions Gru and Co are barely in it. Have not seen any of these movies since Minions 1.
Really enjoyed this. Probably my #2 movie of the year so far. Behind Dune Part 2. Can not understand the complaints that it is boring and unexciting and not much action. Like really? Not sure what to say other than have these people never seen a Ape movie before. Of the 4 recent this and the Ceasar Trilogy I would go 1)Dawn, 2)Kingdom, 3)War and 4)Rise.
I guess it is possible.The total that weekend was 95 m. If Apes gets close to 60 and The Fall Guy can drop under 50% to about 14-15 m. The rest of the movies would have to do about 20-25 million. Would love to see it.
Like Oppenheimer and DR:Part 1 last year. The audience overlap was massive. The rating made no difference. DR;Part 1 could have held much better if it only had Barbie in that second weekend. And those had the same rating PG-13 but completely different core audiences.
8:00 on Friday morning and this thread is already 4 pages deep and 60 comments. At least the hysterical doom and gloom about the RT audience score has died down.
Yeah it sounds like it takes it's time telling it's story and it's not all action action action which the trailers kind of sell it as. I am sure that is throwing some audiences.
Still afraid this is going to get DR Part Oned. They should move up to the 12th unless they are afraid of Fly Me To the Moon. =). Universal has DM4 on the 5th so they want to spread it out I guess. Hopefully because it is PG-13 it can coexist with D and W even if it loses all it's PLFs on the 25th.
Really hoping the walkups come through for this but just like the Fall Guy the reviews in the end are good but not best movie ever great so just like if you did not have a massive desire to see a Gosling-Blunt action comedy you were not jumping off the fence if you do not have a massive desire to see a Planet of the Ape movie you may not come off the fence. The presales seem to be suggesting 45-50. Hope it can surprise.
Uh, Tombstone, Open Range, The True Grit and 3:10 to Yuma Remakes. And they are all better than Back To the Future 3 and I am a massive fan of that franchise.
