Yep, I was definitely wrong, that Sat hold this weekend proves it sure is. That's a near animation level sat bump. BP needs about a 5x multi off of this weekend for 700. May sound out of reach, however then you look at TA and see it got a 6.8x off its 10th weekend. Granted it had the labor day expansion BP won't have, but hopefully I'm right about the IW boost and that makes up for it.

THE Incredibles 2 | June 15, 2018 | NO SPOILERS!!!!
MovieMan89 replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
If this lives up to the quality of Bird's other three animated films, I will say that I think he might be second only to Miyazaki among best animated feature directors. It will at least give him the edge for the time being over Stanton, Docter, and Unkrich among the Pixar crew. -

To be completely honest, I'm surprised drive ins are still a thing at all. I know they've been completely dead in my state for years. -

I will admit the 4,200 tc is extremely disappointing. I know a bunch of screenings can be added to make room for demand, but I still don't understand why it's opening in a lower tc than movies like GotG2 and Homecoming? Especially with literally no competition. -

Yeah. Especially since at that point it would be so close yet so far. Would seem very anti-climatic for it to get within like 20 or 10m and then miss after all that. -

IW is hurting it for the time being. I mean let's be honest, what MCU fan in their right mind cares one bit about an Ant Man movie right now with IW looming so large? That said, if IW generates lots of audience goodwill, it will only be a good thing for AM2 when it opens. Might end up eyeing 100 on OW if IW is big enough and liked enough. -

I have to admit, I will be genuinely disappointed if it doesn't happen at this point. -

Honestly though, wtf is WB doing with that one? Market the damn thing already! Unless it's so god awful that any marketing will give away how bad it is, there's no reason for them to still be sitting on it. -
Moviepass and its Impact on the Box Office
MovieMan89 replied to Eric Quinn's topic in Box Office Discussion
They need some kind of actual marketing for the service if they really hope to make their market penetration strategy work. They need to get a huge number of subscribers before they have the bargaining power to make a profit the way they think they will, and even with the low price they don't have enough visibility to grow their base to that scale. There needs to be more awareness for it not solely dependent on word of mouth. But of course where does the money come from for marketing when they've already lost $150 mil? So I guess therein lies the issue. They also need to settle on a sub plan, and stick with it. These constantly in flux sub plans that change by the week are impossible to really spread word of mouth about. Not like I can pitch friends the plan I have, that doesn't exist right now.
