Most people don't watch movies based on poster art anymore. And the studios are painfully aware of this.

Seems pretty low overall, although likely a bad indicator of the "real" gross. I'm not really getting "breakout of the summer" vibes from it, though.

Garfield would not be the next Mario in April.

Why not do it now and get started hyping it quicker? They gain nothing for waiting and the early trailer is already out.

That's lovely but Spy Family is also "IP". I don't know why I even bother, box office reporters are fucking STUPID now.

Oh sure, everyone needs good screenwriters. Also, didn't Annihilation get a times 3 multiplier? It would get it close to EEAO if that's what it actually manages.

Oh? So it just didn't die in its second week, even without the PDFs? Well, that's probably the single biggest hit it will take so it actually did overperform.

IF that was Civil War's real drop and not some overly optimistic number A24 put out that's a lot better than the doomer "this movie is DOA after opening weekend" line that was popular here for a while. When does it actually lose its PLFs?

Most modern horror isn't scary because it relies solely on gore and jump scares. Now The Lighthouse, THERE was a disconcerting film.

I'm assuming this means Civil War actually won the weekend.

IF this does somehow completely tank rather than merely disappointing, it would point out that Superbowl trailers are an utter fucking waste of money.

Radio Silence doesn't need horror stars. It needs a radioactive mutant koala that drops out of trees and sucks people's blood.

That statement really makes me want to see Man from UNCLE, not so much the current film.

Lupita wasn't super overpriced either. The issue is casting people like Chris Hemsworth or Tom Holland or whatever who are expensive but also won't move tickets as an animated voice.

Well, could they not do that? Getting really sick of AI image spam.
