Monkey Man looks like the best superhero film of the year. I do think it will make the most money out of all April releases. I honestly don't think Civil War is gonna do very well compared to its budget, but we'll see. Hearing Challengers is great and I think it will do well for what type of film it is, but even that is probably something like $30-40 million.

Damn, did not think this was gonna open this close to Dune. Wild. The Ghostbusters drop is insane.

Damn, I knew this film was probably gonna showcase that the MonsterVerse is alive and get it closer to Godzilla 2014 numbers, but I did not expect that it was actually gonna come that close? This may be the 2nd film in the franchise to crack $200M dom. Even with the drop in China, this is probably also gonna challenge Skull Island worldwide. Gonna outlive the DCEU for sure now.

Gay movies can bring ppl to the multiplex, do u see that Disney??

It doesn't look any good to me, feel like it's destined for bad reviews and not great wom BUT it does have a crazy good opening weekend. Feel like this could make over $100M domestic and maybe even get to $300M worlwide. It's defo gonna be the bigget non-Venom grosser for this universe.

I knew it would do better than Soul but worse than Turning Red but I was expecting it to land more in the middle... guess it's gonna end up making a little over a million in this run. Do we know if it's re-releasing elsewhere?

I find myself rewatching the trailer multiple times per day damn, this is gonna be wild.

I don't WANT any and I do hope that we keep getting originals after this. Last I checked multiple filmmakers over the studio were developing original projects. There's hope.

Feel like it's gonna be a tight race between this and Deadpool for the summer crown domestically and between this and Despicable Me globally. It just has so much potential with the concept of a teenaged Riley to really click with Gen Z and the family demo that Pixar always brings. Plus, the first one being Pixar's biggest non-sequel besides Finding Nemo dom and ww is very important here. Been wondering what type of sequels Pixar could actually pursue in the next couple of years - hopefully amongst several original films that they intend to make. I think Toy Story 5 is a very meh idea - plus that franchise has hit its ceiling -, but I can see Monsters, Inc 2 and Brave 2 exploding. Nothing else besides another Incredibles (with the kids aged up), but that can wait.

They really never figured out quite how to reintroduce this franchise. Welll, low 100s dom and low 200s worldwide is not a complete embarrassment, after all it's been the ceiling for this franchise since 1989 it seems.

Been meaning to watch the first two films (maybe even the third one) for years now. Guess it's time. Fury Road rules.

The ratings from the reviews are what's note worthy to me, they do point at this potentially having really strong WoM. I think opening right around $50M would be a good test to the Gosling/Blunt star power. Looks pretty fun honestly, better than Leitch's last two directorial efforts.

back when the third one came out, seeing the decline everywhere outside of China and the response to the film I thought there was no way but down for the franchise lol. Times are soooo different now, it's been 8 years! Interesting note here, 8 years was the span of the releases of the first three, 2008 to 2016. Damn.

Damn, KFP 4 is coming for $200M, isn't it? Shrek 5 bout to be enormous.

Eh, I kinda like how they're contrasting each other, had potential for some strong drama there, just didn't go with it. Especially the Kamala-Carol dynamic shifts were jarring.

Had high hopes from Bones and All and I hardly remember that film... but this seems to have all the drama and I'm here for it. Tho Suspiria is still to me the best Guadagnino.

$20.5M for Dune 2 is the road to $300M. $19.75M is disappointing. Slay. Perfect math

I root for her just because of her performance in Suspiria

What's crazy is they haven't had as big of a hit domestically (and maybe even globally, but not as sure about that one) since Madagascar 3. Makes me wonder why that's the one franchise we never hear plans about returning. You'd think it'd be next priority after getting Shrek 5 off the ground.

Ennui having a French accent! Envy is adorable. Plenty of funny bits already in these trailers. Feeling real good about this one.

While reviews are decent, it's kinda sucky that this seems to be another inferior follow up. They managed to stick the landing with the first sequel but even though they didn't rush parts 3 and 4, they really seem to be major steps down. I hardly remember the third one and I saw it like few months ago.

Read some past pages here to get some sense of what's in the books and what's not. I'm glad Villeneuve turned Chani into the major Fremen character that we follow that seems to give up on Paul. It was very well executed in this film and I trust what he gonna do next with this. Shit doesn't have to be 100% what's on page to still, at its core, be true to the story and its meanings.

Love how the more the film progresses, the more everyone but Chani completely loses it. Does she get to become the protagonist next?

Thinking The Batman-type legs (x2.76) are very much within reach. That gets it to ~$225M. And that had the 45-day window and was 10 minutes longer.

Dune 1 was a day-and-date HBO Max release. Even with that in mind, it was leggier than plenty of other films released with that model.
