[Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom | December 22, 2023 | David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick (co-writer of first film) returns]

Wild that everyone was so worried about Momoa and Heard's 'chemistry' when she was pretty obviously the best thing about the first movie.

[The Box Office Buzz, Tracking, and Pre-Sale Thread]

Spider-Verse sold less than GOTG and Ant-Man in the first hour and ended up having the highest OW of all three. Not saying Marvels is Spider-Verse, but one hour of data is nowhere near enough to draw conclusions from.

[9/29-10/1 Weekend Thread]

The Creator opening to 15M is gonna make me upset if I keep thinking about it so I'm gonna turn the forum and the chat rooms off for the rest of the weekend I think. Something something y'all say you want original movies... (the general y'all, not directed towards anyone here)

[9/29-10/1 Weekend Thread]

Woman King hit 19M off 1.7M previews at 3PM (11.2x IM) around this time last year and Venice just did 11.9x. Creator can still hit 20M. It's probably over for Saw X though, that's gonna play exactly like Jigsaw did and I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up there.

Then WOM takes over with it becoming the movie that never drops, and plays like Titanic up till Dune opens. 

Makes sense to me.

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. also has an "A" Cinemascore. I don't think that's gonna save this one...

And that movie had 3x legs when it was getting pulled from a third of its locations by weekend 3. It'll be fine. This has a roadblock second weekend for sure but after that it'll play out how all of these movies play out.

I wish that Gillman number was real. I liked that movie a lot, real shame it bombed.

There's also a massive problem with the movie itself which is causing lower than usual grades with younger audiences that did show up. (Mods don't kill me. I think this stuff relates to the BO here).

  Reveal hidden contents

The character that appears to be the primary antagonist violently kills a bunch of superheroes and the movie resolves with those characters still dead. No hope of resurrections. They are DOA. The villain wins and the movie wraps up damn near definitivley. That's some scary shit.

 

Fully agree with this. The ending is way more dark than it needs to be and I know I, personally, felt absolutely cheated when it came to the character who sold me a ticket.

Can see it dropping 60% depending on how high spiderverse  opens. 

Social media reactions for ATSV were extremely positive and if reviews come out 95%+ .  Presales have been good can see a weekend as high as 120M+ 

 

Aladdin dropped 53% and it  had KOTM that weekend which opened to 46m

 

 

Yeah, 60% seems like a reasonable prediction to me? TLM is getting good/great WOM but not leaps and bounds beyond Aladdin's, and ATSV is way bigger and more direct competition than KOTM was. Add in the added importance of PLFs nowadays and I don't see why TLM's drop would be lower than Aladdin's. Feel free to point something out if I'm missing something here, I'm open to modulating lol

Well, completely failing to remember to clock in for this for two weeks is definitely embarrassing. Apologies.
