    something with 7000 performances just in London, plus a couple of Uk tours (estimated 8-9M viewers in London alone) what needs?

     

    Two  others West End classics were huge: Les Miserables (61M), Mamma mia (89M) . Chicago made 26M +, so basically 45M with the actual average ticket price.

    Usually the flops on the big screen are the Andrew Llyod Webber musicals 🤣 (Cats and the panthom of the opera). I don't know about Paddingotn but at least Wicked is not a panned disaster like cats with all november and december I see it at Le Miz and Mamma mia level.  It's perfect for Christmas like Wonka cause it's a very disneyan musical both for the story and for the music style.

    Something remembers also The Greatest showman. 

    You aren't wrong about Wicked having a big west end legacy for sure, but it's never felt like it's something that people are really excited for like Les Mis was, and Mamma Mia is just exploiting this country's strange obsession with ABBA 😅 I mean who knows, I could be completely off base, still a long campaign to go.

    Ahh yes .

     

    Afterlife and frozen empire .skipping them ?

     

    Is it due to quality reasons ,fatigue or not liking the direction the franchise is going...

     

     no wait ?

     

    Bunch of toxic  people on internet who you don't know and don't carry importance in your life say nasty things  so just not watching following as I would be appeasing them!!!

     

     

    It's your choice but don't think such poeple should carry such amount of sway. It's basically giving them the attention they want .

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Don't take the moral high ground on me here. I'm not knocking anyone for watching them, I don't agree with the direction it's gone and if you think you need to comment as if I'm in the wrong, go find another community to pedal that. 

  4. Oh we're giving our thoughts on the movies? 

    The original is good but massively overhyped, Murray and Ackroyd both have plenty of better movies in the 80s.

    The sequel is honestly just forgettable, it's not terrible from memory though

    The reboot was fun, nothing special but I had fun with it

    Never saw afterlife and neither will I see this as I feel like rewarding the people that harassed the ladies is very icky. 

    Y'all do what you like though, ain't my place to call anyone out.

    lol

     

    Afterlife was like ~60% by critics while audience score is 94%.
     

    That 2016 female reboot was 75% by critics but 49% by audience.


    The classic Ghostbusters II (1989), beloved by audience, got only ~55% by critics.

     

    So critics not liking a Ghostbusters movie usually means audience will love it 😏😉

     


     


     

    That's the first time I've ever heard of GB2 being beloved by audiences. Those legs were ass for 89 even discounting Batman.

    New poster here...I'm "conversant" in speaking box office but not "fluent"...is there a resource or a pinned post explaining how to understand this pre sales data? I understand these numbers are comparing GxK pre-sales numbers vs these other pre-sales, and the T-8 means 8 days until domestic release? The Size adjusted comps = 6.86m means...estimated Thursday previews? Total pre-sales dollar amount? Forgive my newbie-ness

     

     

    You've pretty much got it all there. Pretty much all comps are for previews unless stated otherwise

    Dune up to £22.16m after 2 weeks.

     

    Wicked Little Letters £6.76m

    Bob Marley £15.52m

    Migration £18.50m

    Zone Of Interest £2.91m

    That seems really strong across the board. We've had a solid Feb all things considered

    I would probably argue that Dune AND Godzilla are IP's that likely have contractual ties with WB, but I'm not sure if that's even a proper argument to be made.

     

    All I know is that when Legendary's deal with Warner Bros. ended after Godzilla's release in 2014, it still had ties to the studio even with Kong: Skull Island. Legendary had a deal with Universal during that period despite that and it ended in 2019. If Legendary decides to finance another Godzilla/Kong feature, one should reasonably expect it to be distributed by Warner Bros. and not Sony.

     

    That being said, this conversation is probably better off in the Godzilla x Kong thread and not here.

    Besides, remember the last time Sony made a Godzilla film for western markets....

    That's why it pissed me off that my local theatre increased prices WITHOUT renovating

    The theater in my fiancé's home town was suuuuuuuper run down when we went last year but felt the need to charge 350ps each. No wonder it was such a ghost town they closed 2/3rds of the screens during the week.

    Cineworld IMAX? I’m in London next week and thinking of seeing it in there as have never been in that screen. I know Odeon have the 70mm but that’s not IMAX ratio and the BFI is sold out whilst I’m there pretty much. Recommend it in that flagship Cine screen? 

    That's the one. It was good on there, still don't really understand the way they project to fit the bottom of the screen rather than the centre, but it was a good time. They replaced the actual screen at last which is good, last time I went it had weird square artifacts all over it.
