MovieMan89

True, but still an insane record to hold, one anyone would have said was impossible in 2018. 188 is also a good mark since that's what it needs to beat Grease as the second highest grossing live action musical dom. I also think it's worth noting a Friday release likely would have added very little to the OW, maybe nothing at all considering its Friday was already bigger than its OD.

Cruise was a one man media circus at the time, and the film being on the low key side as far as this franchise goes didn't help it. The Burj scene in Ghost Protocol was a stroke of genius in getting people to care again.

Hope it gets to 186 DOM. That's what it needs to usurp Titanic for best saturated multi ever.

SO RELIEVED they cleared up that whole poster dilemma. I forgot prosthetic legs give you the ability to leap hundreds of feet horizontally. Can't believe I didn't realize that's obviously what was going on. Phew, for a moment this movie was almost unrealistic. #physicsdonejustice

My only complaint with that trailer is there's so much I'm worried there's nothing left for the movie. I mean damn, if they're holding anything back then this movie is just gonna be insane.

That was at least more interesting than the first trailer, but this whole movie just looks off to me. Seems like it has all the potential to be a Razzie level disaster.

Damn, TGS could have spent yet another weekend beating its OW with a normal Sunday drop. At any rate, posts the 30th best 7th weekend ever. Weekend 1: 43rd worst saturated opening Weekend 2: Biggest wide release second weekend jump ever Weekend 4: 144th biggest Weekend 5: 73rd biggest Weekend 6: 48th biggest Weekend 7: 30th biggest (will probably move up to 29th in actuals)

Clearly he's aiming for the rooftop of the building the red line leads to. Duh.

No, that's what I mean. That would sound completely ridiculous if he were to speak full lines of dialouge like that.

WiT and maybe RPO have potential. Eveything else is going to be pretty unexciting.

Kind of a moot point to speculate since it never stood any chance at all at a BP nom, unless it were a different film. In which case it wouldn't be doing what it is at the box office.

Yikes, Sunday drops were brutal last year 65-70% for most things.

I never said it would only do 15-20m OW. I do think 30's is likely though.

CBMs haven't lacked female appeal by and large for well over a decade, or the ones that have are doing something very wrong. The Fast franchise definitely doesn't lack female appeal either. BOM reported an even gender split for F7's OW and 42% female for F8. Male driven action films can have female appeal. It's geeky looking male lead sci-fi that tends to suffer the most from female appeal, which is RPO's problem. John Carter and Valerian for example failed to capture female interest, playing a big part in both bombing so hard.

I really don't think she's alone. Been saying for awhile that the marketing has zero female appeal. Gonna be a problem if true.

Aside from RPO, their forecasts make my club look pretty good. Their pros for RPO really aren't very convincing. They're basically just citing the pop culture references/throwback to older Spielberg films. Those have hardly even been played up in the marketing, and the audience that would care is older and probably not that interested in the film. They make a stronger case with their cons, yet still predict it will touch 200. I really doubt it, barring fantastic WOM.

The sad part is that pathetic Winchester number is actually like double what I thought it would do. Harsher drops for J and TGS than I would've expected, even with the SB, hopefully they go up.

He literally took the Furious 7 building jump scene and removed the pesky car. Vin Diesel right now:

Somewhere Rian Johnson is looking at that poster and saying "use the force, Dwayne!"

He'd miss the window even by video game physics.

That's true. Ever since Bronson, Hardy's only real gaffe in his filmography is This Means War.

Yeah, like I saw someone here mention, I have no idea who they thought a movie like Winchester would be for? The bigger question is what *ahem* possessed Mirren to do it?

Lmfao, the man's ego is out of control lately. I feel like he's actually his wrestling persona in real life these days.

Cautiously excited for this, though it is going to be a challenge finding the right voice actor and way to make Mario talk, even in animation. Obviously he can't talk like a one note caricature like he does in the games, but giving him just a "normal" voice might also be kind of odd.

FUNimation should go out of business for how badly they botched Your Name domestically. It posted the 11th best anime gross DOM in spite of a non-existent marketing campaign, a pathetic 311 theater count, and no ties to Ghibli or an existing popular anime TV show like the 10 anime movies that have grossed more DOM. It could have easily eclipsed every anime DOM besides the first two Pokemon movies if it had gotten any kind of push and wide release. Then on top of it all, they completely fuck it over for awards with the nonsensical LA release at the end of 2016 well before its proper domestic release, when the competition for the year was already far too fierce for such a latecomer to the party to stand any chance. Especially going up against a very acclaimed Ghibli film. How they thought it stood a chance to get the nom given all that makes absolutely no sense. It could have been a landmark movie for anime films domestically in terms of success and recognition if they had handled it right. May have even stood a chance to pull out the Oscar over Coco.
