Lion King’s Tuesday bounce is unreal! It should bring in potentially close to $260-$270 million for the week maybe... then probably almost $350 million+ by Sunday which is insanely great!

2012 had only two months that releases missed the $100 million(January and April). 2019 so far has zero months miss $100 million titles yet.

We can now welcome The Lion King in the $200 million club now! So far in 2019, we have only had six films make it to that mark! Identical to 2018 at the same point. 2017 and 2016 were both seven. 2015 was at five, 2014 was at six, and 2013 was at 7-8 films I believe(unless World War Z didn’t have the boost yet).

Weekend talk:Has anyone heard of the magazine Nuts? I ordered some back-issues of the defunct mag, I am curious to check them out. Coming in the mail soon. Also film watching, saw new Shaft at a second run theater. I really liked it! By far the best film experience at a theater and so far one of my top films of the year thus far. Saw Disaster Artist, Franco’s performance was good but the movie was interesting but quality eh. weather wise it’s super hot, and went to twin peaks and got my picture taken with sexy ladies in bikinis 🤗😍

The Lion King howls big opening record for a desperate box office. The Lion King breaks big cash cow for a much needed recovery after a slumpy few months! Overall the top 12 was at an $247.6 million which is up by a high 54 percent from last year when sequels Equalizer 2 and Mamma Mia:Here We Go Again debuted over $30+ a piece and outperformed their predecessors. This is also the biggest weekend in 8 years since Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2! The Lion King scored high with an estimated $185 million! That debut is the best summer debut since possibly Jurassic World back in 2015! The debut is also a high for the month of July, and a high for live-action Disney remakes. The film will probably play well for mid-summer and Labor Day next month, and should easily do $445-$450 million domestic. Spider-Man: Far From Home surviving strong, however It’s 3rd weekend drop is slightly steeper than Homecoming. But on a safe note it is now $29.2 million away from a $1 billion worldwide, as it is now the highest grossing Spidey film worldwide. Now it just needs to outgross it’s 2002 original film domestic total which wouldn’t be a problem. Toy Story 4 hanging on the top three this weekend as it’s helping out with Lion King drive-in double features and such. It should play well still for families as it’s the sole animated choice as Secret Life Of Pets 2 is going to be put to sleep fast. $400+ million domestic is an easy bet soon. Crawl held on average for a film of its nature this weekend. It’s 50% drop is much better than Piranha 3D(57.4%), Mirrors(55.4%), and Snakes On A Plane(55.3%). But worse than 47 Meters Down which dropped under 40% two summers ago. But it’s close to both Alexandre Aja’s first American film The Hills Have Eyes remake and Lake Placid which both dropped at 49%. Overall Crawl is a decent helping for Paramount and should do $30 million or domestic. Yesterday is still singing on the top five as it has dropped under 25% this weekend! The film has played outstanding so far this summer, and should do $65-$75 million domestic total. Stuber Isn’t making any big donuts this weekend. It’s decline is quite typical for an R-rated comedy bomb. It’s drop is actually worse than The House and CHiPs as they dropped under 50%. However it is an improvement from Sex Tape as they dropped 58% five years ago. Stuber May find it’s way on FXX in 2021 but that’s about it for the film’s reputation, and $20 million is a pretty easy catch for its total. Aladdin still hanging on the top 10 for almost two months! The film has played quite strong for a live-action Disney film and has been the longest running summer film I’ve seen on the top 10 for this long in years! $11.2 million away from $1 billion now! And should do over $355 million domestic, who would’ve thought that this summer? Annabelle Comes Home playing typical horror. $75 million domestic or so is likely. Midsommar playing better, but should be small in the end. Secret Life Of Pets 2 is somehow still in the top 10, and should do $155 million or so domestic. Limited releases i don’t normally talk about since really this is a normal guy talking box office, not an analyst. So Farewell and The Art Of Self Defense debuted decent in expansion in my eyes, but I don’t know what everyone else thinks. overall 2019 is ahead by every year now except 2018. And July is well ahead of last year at this point. So it all depends on the other half of the year. box office next weekend. Lion King should probably lead with $82-$87 million 2nd weekend. As for the sole newcomer, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood should debut with $35-$38 million in a farther second place.

Lowest $100 million films since 2005 or 2006?

What do you guys think about Once Upon A Time In Hollywood next weekend?

The Lost World and Fallen Kingdom are much better than this! The dinosaurs are the best part of the movie, and sadly this is the least appealing for the dinos. The humans in this entry are the least interesting or likable, Sam Neil isn’t as memorable as he was in the first. Tea Leoni was annoying as hell, and William H. Macy is about as forgettable as dirt. Jurassic Park III is a gigantic mess, I appreciate them wanting to be different. But this is my least favorite big money making blockbuster of the 2000’s and the worst of the Jurassic Park series. Grade: D

Saw this on Amazon Prime a month ago, a pretty good movie. The kid does a really good job for a film of this nature, and the teenagers like Fuck Shit do a pretty good job too! Grade: B+

I really liked this movie! This is a type of film that doesn’t get made anymore. Samuel L. Jackson definitely had some fun in this, and his performance is the best part of the movie! The action scenes are really good, and the other performances are lots of fun. I didn’t grow up with the original as a kid or anything, I have only seen the 2000 reboot years ago. But overall, so far only seeing four films this year in the theater this is so far my favorite movie so far! This is a film you have fun with and it put a smile on my face which is quite rare for films nowadays! grade:B+

This weekend is massive! And everyone wants The Lion King to do Force Awakens level. But there are films that have bombed like The Nice Guys or Blade Runner 2049 that should’ve done better than those above.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood: $35 million

Anybody here been to the restaurant twin peaks?

This is a crazy year! Everything is Disney. I wonder how the other half of the summer will do, if films like Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Hobbs & Shaw, and Good Boys could pull in some decent cash that would be great! But everything up until IT 2 looks like things will do sub-par. But Disney is definitely making most of the cash this year, I think that’s a strange summer story and story of 2019. 2019’s only success stories this year have been The Upside, Disney, John Wick 3 having a large improvement from its predecessor as third films die off fast or increase just a small margin, Rocketman/Yesterday being more successful than franchises like Men In Black or X-Men for example. Us as well, outgrossed dead franchises. As for so far the losers, Fox although they’ve had Disney merger they can’t have a hit. Breakthrough was a hit for the but all else failed. Little movies have bombed specular. Also sequels except Disney or John Wick 3,all underperformed or paled in comparison to their predecessors.

It’s all crumbling now... I may bring it back

I think it was locked and gone for good.

Maybe it’s because I’m a guy. But does anyone else miss the hot women thread on here? I wish it could be brought back lol

Different bond. But I saw Die Another Day last night, actually a pretty good movie.

It depends on horror films. Annabelle is a strange player.

Spidey gets high, while new releases don’t bring a new light. Spider-Man Far From Home continues to lead the top spot this weekend. While the two new releases are a mixed bag this weekend. Spider-Man Far From Home led the top spot once again with an estimated $45.3 million, and a 2nd weekend drop of 51%. It’s second weekend drop was marginally better than Homecoming’s 62% drop. However that drop was with the release of War Of The Planet Of The Apes opening at this point two years ago. It’s also interesting to note that this is the first Spider-Man solo film to be on the top spot for more than one weekend, since Spider-Man 3! Overall as worldwide is already outgrossing what Homecoming did in it’s entire run and it’s playing quite strong. I wouldn’t be shocked if this comes close to $400 million domestic total. Toy Story 4 has held up nicely on the second spot this weekend as it has dropped below 40%. The film should still come close to Toy Story 3’s domestic total, which is quite a rarity for 4th films in today’s day and age. Crawl debuted with an estimated $12 million. That debut isn’t a big chomper like The Meg(which Deadline brags about at this comparison)or even The Shallows. But keep in mind this is actually a decent start for a film with a $13.5 million budget, I know people will be complaining about how this could’ve been a tent pole or this didn’t have star power etc but c’mon you’re selling a film during hurricane season about a crocodile in a hurricane. Which studios have tried to sell goofy scenarios before like Snakes On A Plane for example and that was considered a box office disappointment and that had a major star selling the movie! Or Crawl’s own director Alexandre Aja with Piranha 3D which sold on the 3D craze more than anything, and it didn’t make a jaw-dropping domestic total but it made a killing overseas. Crawl’s debut is a tough comparison as it is on-par with 47 Meters Down. The debut was below Summer 2016’s sleeper The Shallows. Also was below the adjusted $19.4 million debut of the last croc film Lake Placid, the $18.9(or $19 million rounded as it was $18.99) debut of Snakes On A Plane, and a far cry from Aja’s $14 million adjusted debut of Mirrors. It was also similar to the adjusted $11.8 million debut of Piranha 3D. Overall this should make a bite with around $30 million domestic. While Crawl will probably be considered an ok start for Paramount, Stuber was not a good or an ok start for Fox. Stuber suffered a flat tire this weekend with an estimated $8 million. That debut is below comparable July R-rated comedy bombs such as Sex Tape. It’s similar to The House from two years ago, which debuted around $8 million as well during a holiday weekend. It’s also below the debut of other buddy comedy bombs such as RIPD or The Nice Guys for example. However it’s close to the debut of CHiPs and some of the other buddy movie bombs like The Glimmer Man for example(without adjusting ticket price inflation). Stuber will probably crash off theaters fast, and make close to $20 million domestic. Yesterday still pulling strong for a little movie without big stars. The film should do north of $60 million domestic and be a nice profit for Universal. Aladdin still pulling in strong as it’s $40 million away from $1 billion and is now Will Smith’s highest grossing film domestic! Aladdin should definitely outgross Alice In Wonderland soon. Horror films Annabelle Comes Home and Midsommar had decent drops this weekend. Annabelle dropped at 41% and Midsommar close to 46%. Which Midsommar is playing better than It Comes At Night two years ago. $25 million domestic will be a stretch for Midsommar but not a shock, and Annabelle close to $70 million domestic. Two dead sequels still on the top 10 and holding up ok. Secret Life Of Pets 2 almost $150 million, and should do close to $155 million domestic. Men In Black International is well dead to Sony.... need I say anymore? Rocketman and Endgame still pulling out strong. Rocketman will sadly fall short of $100 million possibly now, and Endgame will do $855-$860 million roughly. overall the top 12 this weekend was at $116.4 million this weekend which is down 26% from last year when Hotel Transylvania 3 pulled in a decent amount of cash, and Skyscraper crashed domestically. July 2019 is now just slight under July 2018 at the same point. 2019 is down from 2018 and 2016 still! It’s on-par with 2017. And ahead of 2015 by a slight and 2014 by a large margin.

Saw a TV spot for this at a bar I was at on tv. Sounds intriguing.

The posters look great! WB should give this a push very soon! However I don’t think this”ll be like their past three years in their successful August slot. It could do more moderate like an opening around $13-$17 million and make above $45-$50 million domestic.

They’ve done that before with The Italian Job remake back in 2003 by giving it a late summer push. Hopefully same goes for Rocketman.

Well, this looks to be an okay weekend. Spider-Man doing mid 40’s, and Toy Story holding up. For the rest, Crawl doing $11 million probably is ok but not what some hoped for, and it will likely be a small profit. Stuber flopped.... oh well. This summer has honestly kinda sucked box office wise. If you’re not Disney you’re nothing.
