So tired of the "We're not partners" or "We're not a team" trope.

I would be shocked if Universal doesn't move Wicked to the Wonka slot or the Hunger Games slot right before Thanksgiving. It's just insane. I have a bad feeling about Wicked even if Good and Moana will stump on it even if it is mediocre.

It's barely making any money. Will never be a big profitable business for Disney.

Some of the posts I read here, I imagine the posters crying, drowning in alcohol, lying down on the floor with all sorts of pills surrounding them. Thinking about if Jesus exists. Probably talking to him already. Questioning if angels have a dick or vgn. Wake up. Don't let yourself be weak, WEAK! Things are just bound to get better weather your brain shows it or not. It may take some time again like in 2022 but it's just going to happen. Yall let everything get to you Way to easily. Fuck it, suck it, wake up.

Is it safe to assume that Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle does less domestically than Spy x Family?

How's the puss doing?

What am I looking at here? Looks interesting. Is there any reading into that?

And who's to say the way that movie released didn't effect this one?

Well. We thought that would have happened by now. But the MCU almost died it seems. The Marvels was an embarrassment. Disney's big animation was an embarrassment. DCEU is also dead. People don't go to movies just because anymore. Dune 2 did very well and had a great growth from the 1st specially for the kind of movie it is. If you're too attached to that, cry to Disney's embarrassing performance last year. The Marvels and WISH were embarrassments and DCEU just as dead. Those were the ones that theoretically should have that potential. But we all know what happened and the state of those brands.

Eras Tour opened to 93M. Made 180M/261M WW. Dune 2 opened to 82M. Made 282M/711M Worldwide. You can respectfully shove those admissions.

Called it.

Those ain't MCU numbers on its good times. That's what is good numbers for him. When his precious franchise was relevant on its entirety and undefeated. Disappointment does that to some people. Probably hanging on to admissions by every thread. Good luck buddy. Good luck.

The Beekeeper, Mean Girls, Bob Marley, Dune: Part 2, Kung Fu Panda 4, Ghostbusters, Godzilla X Kong, Civil War, Challengers, Kingdom Apes, and probably Garfield are all movies performing at the least solidly even if with some Asia problems. People are coming to the theaters if there's something they want to see. And don't even come with 55M budget for Challengers. Who gives. That movie doing over 80M is good. People were nice to Air for doing 90M on a 90M budget so...Please. Obviously there's a Over budget issue too and there is a bigger issue in bringing audiences in for sure. Movies have a harder time being hits. But honestly...there hasn't been a Flop this year yet that has me "That doesn't make sense". May be disappointing but still. Even if Furiosa came in with +40M 4-day. Even if The Fall Guy came at 35M. They're extremely overbudgeted movies put on pedestals for the release dates they're in. Shame that Disney got scared and moved Apes out. And shame that Deadpool 3 had to move. But it is what it is. I'm glad all of this is happening now, in 2024. I had a bad feeling about 2024, specially 1st Half and it is panning out. I feel like all of these existential questions will be heavily neutered soon.

Disney and yellow minions to bring the big numbers. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Important to remember that if not for strikes, Deadpool 3 would open May. Apes was also in Memorial weekend before. Furiosa should have moved to last week, like Fury Road. Wouldn't have to put to such ridiculous expectations as it is. To just Imagine the completely different narrative if schedules had not changed 😂😂 And I agree. I ain't losing a piss of a night of sleep because of Furiosa or IF or The Fall Guy like some posters. In the end, I win. I get more sleep, I'm not pretending to be depressed and drowning in whiskey. Keep them bombs and upcoming hits coming.

We'll see definitely. I'm not as down on those as most seem here.

I agree. This really needed a sequel to Fury Road to have a chance establish itself and have a chance to be big enough to be able to spawn a prequel. It's like if we had a Sisterhood prequel movie or whatever after Dune instead of Dune: Part 2. I can tell you how that would have gone.

This movie looks SO MUCH like a Sony movie. Absolute trash.

Interesting that this is the 2nd time this year a Studio has tried to force one of their movies into a usually big Disney date and failed (The Fall Guy and Furiosa). Don't want to sound the alarm for some folks but I think we're on the verge of a strong Disney comeback in the next few years. Specially in their prime dates.

The expectation this year has always been under 2023 8.9B. Didn't change, won't change. This year will probably do high 7B or low 8B and 2025 we're back to 9B, maybe 10B and 2026 will be the sure greatness period with 10B, maybe 11B. (Barring another strike or war or epidemic)

That's more of your moronic and absolute hyperbolic view and thinking of box office. You're either BOMB or HUGE. If you make something you want an expectation, you're doomed to be disappointed. I think anything over 100M is a big win for this and I think that when all is said and done, it will be there. This will perform on that last week. And let's quit with this "AND I SAY THIS AS A HUGE DISNEY SUPPORTER". No one cares and every time you say it, the less I believe it.

I think this is going to November 2025. Blade will move to 2026.

This is doomed.

Going for a 150M-170M OW

I will say that I have a very good feeling about Furiosa. Thinking 45M-50M OW. And Garfields sales pretty much align with my own personal barometer.

Doubt it would have much difference if any. Better to just cut on the spending. If something does well somehow, good. If not, nothing new.
