I got nothing. I thought my fellow late Gen exers and early baby boomers would get off their lazy ass and go see a movie with 96% on RT and a A Cinema score. Guess not. If im mad at anybody it's not you guys reporting it it's them. Just like with Indiana Jones 2 weeks ago I will look forward to seeing it tomorrow and hope I love it like I have loved all these movies. Still getting Part two no matter what and I bet that has much more favorable release date and paramount will market it better. If it were not for Barbenheimer next week this probably would leg like a Mission movie does. Maybe it still does after that. Or Haunted Mansion finishes it off.

Yeah haven't we established Covid drove these budgets up?

Indy too based on it's estimated hold this weekend. 170-180 still seems possible for that.

Well Maggie will get her wish then.

What's really obvious is how air brushing for lack of a better word they are doing for the movies because he certainly does not look that old in Maverick or DR.

Well considering a huge portion of the audience supports a conman for president seems to fit. oops did I get too political there.

In terms of admissions Mission peaked with MI 2. The one everybody has at the top of their rankings.

I don't even think the Indy estimate of 12.9 is all that bad considering Mission was direct competition for it. Of course once again it it deadline so it could up or go down depending on West Coast late showings.

Why? we are not in a pre covid 2018 when Fallout came out are we. That audience has not come back anywhere near the numbers it was at back then and that movie which was considered the best action movie since Fury Road still only made 220 domestic and shy of 800 WW. Real world spy action movies outside of Skyfall have a ceiling. That is obvious.

LOL. Never change BOT. Never change. Deadline estimate before West Coast night showings start and the movie is performing just like a Mission movie does. Disappointing it did not do a Skyfall like breakout but as so many have said the marketing did not really sell this as anything but a another Mission movie. Another great well received movie but still just another movie.

55 -60 million right in the RN/Fallout range with the early release that would put it at 79-85 by sunday. . As I type this I see that deadline just reported the early friday estimate of 16. Could be better could be worse and it could go up with West Coast showings. I have said that i am disappointed this did not break out past the Mission norm. There are a lot of factors that have led to that so I am not going to doom and gloom about it. It is what it is. The fact that some are going as far as saying Paramount is going to order major changes to Part 2 or something is just pure idiocy.

Been banging the drum on that for awhile. It gets ignored because it does not fit the narrative so many go with around here.

Fallout did 77.5 it's first 5 days out. Something this movie can easily get too. it will have at least 25.5 or so including EA showings as of today. It can do at least 52 million this weekend. Covid took a lot of this audience away it seems. NTTD only did 160 million domestically but still 770 WW. But that was still in Oct 2021 when the Delta variant was raging. Mission should outdo that.Or maybe not. Will see. Now time to go to work. peace out to later on.

Yeah I am disappointed too this is not doing a skyfall like breakout. But why don't we wait until sunday when we get the weekend estimates or at least tonight or tomorrow morning when the friday estimates hit. 163 minute long movie playing to an audience that is not going to take a day off work to go to this movie. It feels like groundhog day i have to keep repeating this. Now i have to go to work so I will not be commenting on here all day like others seem too.

So I wake up seeing all this doom and gloom about Mission thinking oh sh-t it must have been like 6 for thursday or something. Oh wait the thursday number have not been released yet. 8.2 was charlies number last night. So the last few pages have been the usual irrational doom and gloom. This place is truly a insane asylum, Empire City is right. Too bad he had to be an abusive jerk and get himself banned for life.

The fact that Orlando was always running behind other regions in the lead up is interesting.

I can't even believe that movie was brought up as a comp to Mission. It just boggles the mind.

Do people around here ever step back and say some of the stuff that gets posted is just stupid.

we are comparing this too Transformers The Last Knight now? god i need go take some extra stength advill. I mean seriously.

163 minute long movie ons weekday when people work no?

Which would be 23.5 before it hits the weekend not including the 2,2 in early access. Which would be pretty decent for a 163 minute long movie playing to a audience that would mostly wait to the weekend.

It's entirely possible if people were confused and thought it came out tonight, The casual audience does not pay attention to this stuff the way we do. To them most movies start their previews on thursday. The july 12 date might not have even registered with them. Honestly i don't think Paramount even cared. They just got a few extra days of release before next week's freight train.

Dude it's called speculation. Chill
