Yeah, its presales being this low compared to say Deadpool is interesting. The first one was a walk-up monster but I'm with you that it feels like a sequel to a $650M movie should have much bigger pre-sales than this and I'd be shocked if walk-ups are nearly as high unless reviews are absolutely stellar given that there isn't close to the same hook for this one as there was for JW which did a brilliant job marketing the park is open concept.

Yep, Especially since it is clear as hell a huge portion of the negatives haven’t even seen the movie.

I think August was the release date for this if not December. August is wide open this year and the back half of July really doesn't have much competition either other than Mission Impossible and even that won't be that big. Instead you made it really hard to build hype for a Star Wars movie people were skeptical of to begin with (who asked for a Han Solo backstory) that is being released not long after one of the most hyped movies ever in Infinity War and the week after a $125M opener, both of which had better reviews than Solo.

And more importantly, Jurassic World had a great hook which is that we finally got to see the park open for business. Fallen Kingdom looks like just a Lost World reprise, just now with a weaponized dinosaur (so freaking stupid).

It is also basically the same Sunday to Monday drop as Black Panther had.

I'd be shocked if he isn't in the movie. It may only be as a force ghost but I would bet on him playing a pretty big role in Episode 9.

When you are releasing movies where only getting a $210M OW or $500M total (or in the case of TLJ $600M) would be considered disappointing, you are doing something right as a studio lol.

Homecoming is actually Sony even if Marvel did oversee that production.

That is a terrific teaser trailer. The joke at the end is absolutely hysterical.

That is possible, but JL was a really bad movie that had terrible trailers and no hook that was the direct sequel to an unbelievably awful movie. Infinity War has 10 years of hype and good movies driving it and the interest and awareness for the movie are off the charts.

Yep, but whoever wins that battle, Disney wins. I don’t think they care about which of their $500M plus (maybe even $600M plus) grossers carries the day.

Agreed. Last Jedi was decisive but it’s a good movie and there’s no doubt in my mind that the WOM was better than the RT score but a score in 60s or 70s would have happened (which isn’t great). Black Panther is absolutely fantastic and I’ve not heard anyone who has actually seen it who didn’t like it.

So looking at the audience score on RT, all audience scores for major movies that have female leads or minority leads should basically be ignored going forward. Basically all negative or not want to see comments are racist or you can tell the person didn’t see the movie.

Racist trolls

4:48 EST pulse - 322

Just did a pulse count and it was about 235 per minute.

Those numbers for Jumanji and TLJ both seem low.

I was actually wondering if they really meant through the end of the 4 day weekend (which would obviously include January 1).

I can see people feeling this way. The people in this thread saying it took no risks are crazy though. And let's be clear while a lot of people didn't like how long the one subplot that even those that love the movie think went on too long, the story risks the movie took are why WOM is divisive. After the opening weekend I thought right around Avatar numbers was possible (didn't see it having legs much better than Rogue One with calendar and how big it opened even if it was universally liked but this is going to fall around $100M-$125M short of that. I'm sure Disney now wishes they had taken a super conservative approach with the VIII and IX and then done the risk taking in a spinoff trilogy. But with that said the movie is incredibly successful and I'm sure Abrams makes a crowd pleasing IX that will also be super successful. Only Star Wars could pull off a $600M plus disappointment lol.

That movie looked like absolute trash from all the previews do not surprising. And I really like the first and enjoyed the second. Zero interest in this one.

It's Monday number was about the most normal Monday drop possible based on other movies in theaters now and past years with this calendar. Everything since then not good though.

His Sunday drop is way too low. That will be a 50%ish drop based on past Sunday's with a similar calendar.

See unlike yesterday which was a perfectly fine number based on all other drops both this year and historically, this is not a good number. Today's number will be very interesting.

Is there a reason the biggest Avatar fans tend to be incredibly dense?

Got it. That is what I was wondering about.
