Pokemon is technically more valuable to Nintendo because of all the merchandise rights though.
-
Would they even be "samurai" if they were all played by white people outside Japan? I know Samurai Cop is the most glorious achievement in film history but this idea doesn't sound great...
-
I know this is gonna sound cliche for me at this point but Oppenheimer really should've been moved from this slot by now. This ain't gonna end well for it, even if Barbie somewhat underperforms. It will have a difficult time breaking through the Barbie marketing screen.
-
I have no idea why people seem to be under the delusion that Metroid is somehow Nintendo's most profitable franchise or that doing a film that would need PG-13 to do it justice is somehow comparable to what Mario just did.
-
Mario will absolutely clobber I2 over time since it does NOT have summer level competition. Week 1/2 is the appetizer, the total run is the main course.
-
The Flash isn't really a "kids movie". I'd be more worried that Spiderverse would eat up all/most kids admissions this summer more than Flash.
-
What exactly is Elemental opening against that can theoretically throttle it so badly?

THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE WEEKEND THREAD
MightyDargon replied to Eric the IF's topic in Numbers and Data
Mario is an extreme outlier in terms of animation performance. It's like saying all movies for old people will do what Maverick did. -
38.5 is good considering people were saying it would struggle to hit 35 mil. Biggest problem now IMO is the massive attention Mario will get but could still do a good, leggy run similar to Jumanji.
-
Avatar is a vastly bigger franchise as far as "movies people will spend 12 bucks to see at a theatre". In those terms, it's bigger even than MCU.
-
That article is awful and seems almost entirely based on pre-COVID stuff. The only Rotten I can think of that really broke out post COVID was Dominion. Other stuff either "disappointed" or flat out bombed if it got a Rotten. I would argue that Rotten didn't matter that much back in the early 2010s when Bayformers could regularly do well with 40% RT scores, but it's VERY dicey now that streaming is in effect and people can get easy access to high quality with little effort.
-
DAMN IT Shazam isn't top 5 now I can't gloat or whatever about what the decline percentage was
-
The exits for D&D appear good. I suspect it will also perform well on Paramount+ and not be dead weight like some expensive direct to streaming stuff was.
-
This actually sounds probable. I never got why Ghostbusters didn't make much outside US.
-
Cinemascore doesn't matter unless abnormally high (like Maverick) or abnormally low (65). People here put WAAAYYYYYY too much faith in it.
-
If you had a better score and set it in the 1980s like that one American Girl thingy is, sure.
-
No because absolutely no one under the age 40 knows what the hell those things are. D&D has been relevant forever (although "geeky").
-
Wick should easily do 200 mil. No more R rated action to compete with it for a while.
-
Shazam will lose more screens next week than Quantumania did thanks to Mario's arrival. Not sure whether it'll be enough to undershoot BvS.
-
I'm pretty satisfied it actually outdid Uncharted's opening in true Thurs. after all the "it needs a real star like Tom Holland!" talk.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread (December 2021 - July 2023)
MightyDargon replied to Cap's topic in Numbers and Data
Mario will have less walkups but more presales than Minions. -
Y'know, if the film DOES breakeven and has extremely good WOM it could be valuable to Paramount anyway. Any well regarded film is a streaming asset that's likely to be valuable for some time.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread (December 2021 - July 2023)
MightyDargon replied to Cap's topic in Numbers and Data
Shazam's gonna lose more than 45 percent, I'll tell you that. -
Prediction: this flops and then WB finally takes the hint and punts Aquaman from the Christmas slot in favor of Dune.

Did Puss 2 make money in its theatrical run?
