It seems like MD weekend will be the first weekend since Easter weekend to have the total BO go over 100 million. Hopefully if everything lives up to current expectations.

Yeah it did have a IM of at least 9 from previews to weekend. That's not bad.

It feels like Apes is at the point where it needs the review bump.The question is will get it on Wednesday. It really depends on how enthusiastic the reviews are I would assume. That could push it over. As I said earlier the Cesar Trilogy movies all had strong walkups and were not frontloaded at all on their OW.

I feel like they expect good but not great reviews. I just hope they are good and enthusiastic enough to push it past 50 million this weekend. We really need it right now. And a decent hold for the Fall Guy next weekend also. Might be too much ask for right now but will see.

Been thinking about it more. I really did enjoy it. But how did this movie cost 130 million.It did not feel like it should have cost anymore than the Lost City or Bullet Train did. We would be having a whole conversation right now if it had been cheaper I think. Oh well not my money.

It was scary how spot on it was.

Honestly after seeing the movie and enjoying it I am not super depressed about the BO. It's not a movie that set's up a sequel or a series of movies so it's not like dam the franchise chances are over. It is what it is. The TV to movie tie is so loose that does not matter either.

Said more on the spoiler thread but I really enjoyed The Fall Guy. Is is the best action comedy in the history of action comedies. No but it does not need to be. The first half hour is a little rough but from then it cooks. I hope it has decent legs at least. 100 million is probably going to be hard but possible if it can leg it out. Will kill on streaming eventually which is what we have been talking about.

Yeah Mom's are not the audience for Apes but I mean Doctor Strange and The MOM=) opened on Mothers Day weekend two years ago and did 187 and plenty of other MCU movies have either first or second weekend on Mothers Day weekend and the MCU is pretty dude heavy in appeal.

Really enjoyed this. Is is it the best action comedy in the history of action comedies?No but it does not need to be. Will agree that it starts out a little bit rough. The first half hour or so but the last two thirds of it really cook. The Against All Odds Karoke/dumpster bin chase is def the highlight. Will be listening to that and I was Made for loving you on a loop. And Aaron Taylor Johnson must have studied Matthew Mcconaughey's voice because dam was he spot with that voice. It did feel like NIce Guys but only PG-13 and with more big budgeted action. Love that movie so any thing that comes close I am happy with.

I was just looking at on the Numbers website and Dawn of The Planet of the Apes did 4.1 in previews and 72 for the weekend. That's a weekend IM of 18 so def not frontloaded. Now that was 2014 and pre COVID obv but yeah even if the previews don't crack 5m 50 million at least is doable for the weekend for sure.

Hmm that would drop it below 28 but it looks like Saturday under indexed at least according to Universals sat estimate. will see.

Apes is looking good for next week.

Looking good. Down a little bit from yesterday but that could be a weekend thing. If the reviews are good to great, Next weekend should be much better.

Yeah I am not questioning why Universal did what they did. Once they saw Disney was dragging their heels on moving Apes why not move the Fall Guy. The test screenings were great. They felt they had a movie they could sell and turn into a blockbuster. But yeah that did not happen for any number of reasons people have given.

Honestly I don't understand why Disney did not move it up when they knew for sure D&W was not going to be ready. Fall Guy could have stayed on March 1 did what it did and No pressure. People can like it, hate it, be indifferent to it. But no narrative that the summer movie season started out with a big whiff.

So GXK and KFP4 both sitting at 188 DOM. It feels like both are going to be stretch's to get to 200. GXK is going to get hit by Apes this weekend even though it almost doubled Panda this weekend and Panda is going to get hit hard by IF and Garfield in back to back weeks.

Was looking at the Qurom Garfield and IF have the same 48% Awareness, 50% Interest and 47% would see in a theater. Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.

I really hope Garfield does end up being decent at least. Still have no interest but don't need a another eh animated movie blowing up because you know people got to take the kids to something and those nostalgic adults without kids who read Garfield when they were growing up.

Will see. The Fall Guy just proved an early review embargo drop means nothing in the end. Disney may just figure the closer the better which will fuel Walkups and late buys. Or Jeff Sneider will get to crow he was right.

One can only hope.

And yet Garfield will most likely be the worst reviewed movie of the studio movies this month. But Yet people are being more choosy and selective in these post Covid/inflation times. Uh UH

What the F are you talking about? Maybe do some research before you spout shit like that. Fine you don't like his movies so be it but maybe go look at how much his movies make on their budget. Pretty good until this movie which yeah will probably lose money.

Wow so all the other people that don't share that opinion must be wrong. We will take your opinion on it as the one. God I swear some people around here.

Yeah get all that with the financials and stuff but that has nothing to do with the actual movie., Like so what if it was slightly overhyped coming out of SWSW. The reviews still ended up being pretty good overall and the WOM from actual real people seeing it has been fairly good. The GA/Casuals don't give a F about the shit we talk about around here.
