Movies make their biggest share in the domestic market, where mermaid did $120m more than mission. Add in to that the much greater merchandising opportunities for the Disney film and it's not hard to see where the theoretical shortfall is for MI7.
They already pretty much told the world not to get invested in the movie when they confirmed the universe reboot, why throw more money after a lame duck
Aquaman is doa by the look of it. BFI IMAX is in the situation where 1 early show off Wonka is outselling the rest of the day with Aquaman. Godzilla's show on Thursday is 3x more full than Aquaman's solo show. It's going to be a brutal run.
America is fascinated with Britain, a 40m ow is far bigger than you expected and there's already plenty of data in the tracking thread to tell us Christmas is going to do well. Stop being a constant negative Nancy.
I'll admit, Swordsmith Village was a slog for sure, last episode was great but definitely the weakest arc so far. Not enough to shake my confidence going forward though.
