  1. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has been pulled from the release schedule in UAE, Saudi Arabia, and across the Middle East, and will no longer have a theatrical run in the region. 

    It made $3M-$3.2M for the first film across all the countries in total. Probably loses $6M-$6.5M~ in total.

    Actually decent for Spiderverse considering the weather. Fri-sun is down just over 50%, same for TLM. Assuming films recovered a bit yesterday afternoon/evening due to thunderstorms. 

     

    Awful for Transformers, the franchise is dead here. Might struggle for even £10m.

    Is the weather that big a deal in the UK Box Office? It seems like it can make-or-break certain totals.

  3. IC2 comparison still vaguely on point, but it's shifting more and more. Spider-Verse way way stronger hold Thurs and Fri, slightly behind on Sat and slightly ahead on Sun. JW:FK is way stronger competition than ROTB though.

     

    Weekday 1 and Weekend 2 holds (From Monday) 

    [June 2] Spider-Verse: -58.4%, +15.5%, -26.2%, -8.1%, +64.4%, +26.5%, -17.9%  (vs Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) 
    [June 15] Incredibles 2: -55%, +14.5%, -27.1%, -17.2%, +47.8%, +30.2%, -21.1% (vs Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom)

    Could be close domestically as well, depending on the next couple of weeks...

    GOTG3 is a perfect example though - pre-release hype was nowhere near the peak of the MCU, presales seemed weak (relatively), OW was OK but not amazing, it's as separate a story from the MCU overarching plot as possible, but it clicked with audiences. They didn't just go "nah, pass, there's a Spider-Man movie in a month".

    It's not gonna be close domestically

    Oof, steep drop for verse. Looks like it's definitely behaving closer a standard CBM than an animated film in most markets.

    Is 40%~ Sat -> Sat bad for the UK Market? What would an animated movie look like usually?

  6. IC2 comparison still roughly on point, Spider-Verse way way stronger hold Thurs and Fri, slightly behind today.

     

    Weekday 1 and Weekend 2 holds (From Monday)

    [June 2] Spider-Verse: -58.4%, +15.5%, -26.2%, -8.1%, +62.7%, +27%~ (vs Transformers: Rise of the Beasts)

    [June 15] Incredibles 2: -55%, +14.5%, -27.1%, -17.2%, +47.8%, +30% (vs Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom)

  7. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (rewatch)

     

    6/9 7:30PM DOLBY

     

    80%-85% full (Very full, only bottom 2 rows empty)

    Lots of families and teens, good few adults (40-50%~ Kids and Parents, 20-30%~ Unaccompanied Teens, 30-40%~ Adults)

     

    Trailers:
    Elemental
    Gran Turismo

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    Rudy Gillman (I think?)

    The Flash

     

    Audience absolutely loved it entirely, from humor to character beats to action. Far far less 'groans' (possibly due to the family tilt + more awareness about it being a Part 1) and still huge applause at the end.

    I also complained about the sound mixing - and loads of others did on Reddit - and the stock reply was "it was meant to be like this, and theatres were supposed to push the audio past this level and that and blah blah blah". Just like the Tenet complaints - bitch, if the filmmakers' requirements are for audio equipment to be pushed past the max, or for you to hear in certain frequencies in order to get the full experience, then they're doing it wrong.

     

    I loved the movie, but the sound mixing was quite bad and genuinely impacted my experience. The opening monologue became gibberish and Spider-Punk was incomprehensible (and no, it's not just the accent - like I saw this in London, in a decent LieMax and people were like "what did he say?"). A lot of that was due to the dialogue being TOO snappy and fast, especially during action sequences, and the mix didn't help one bit. It simply became sensory overload. The first one had hit the perfect sweet spot. This, while visually extraordinary, simply wasn't as good an experience for me. Not only did it not have any moment anywhere near as good as Leap of Faith, the sounds easily took 10% off the experience for me. 

     

    I do wanna rewatch it if there's any way to find out whether the new mix is playing, though. 

    I watched it again today and I don't know if it was a theatre-specific thing or actually the new mix, but the sound (specifically at Gwen's starting part and Hobie's dialogue) was much much better

    Anything that makes more then 50% of its money in the U.S isn't really global

    You don't look at %'s lmao, you look at overalls. With that logic, you can have a movie making 350M INT being considered less of a success than one making 300M INT just because it made more money domestically.
