Will Smith was the best part of the movie! The acting is wooden, and acts like a Hallmark movie. The effects such as the Jafar becoming a evil genie or his mind control looked very cheap, like effects from a PS2 game look more realistic now than this. Another plus for this movie some of the musical numbers were decent as well. Overall I’m glad this film is doing well at the box office. But in comparison to some of the other live-action Disney films, like Beauty & The Beast for example(which I liked) this is a disappointment but it didn’t upset me too much. grade: D+

Annabelle will make its $$$ back, I wouldn’t sob yet. Conjuring Universe has been pushing them like crazy since 2016(since 2015 we had a break). Thats normal to happen, A similar pattern with the Saw franchise is set for now anyway for it, just like what Saw VI was after Saw V. Sounds like a typical Wednesday, even though we haven’t had official numbers yet. Toy Story 4 I think should still push some cash flow for Disney. But I think next week at this time will be a massive explosion at the box office with Spider Man probably rejuvenating box office.

Great Tuesday! Toy Story 4 pulling in great cash! Also great preview number for Annabelle, it should do most of its business as a weekend film but it’s Wednesday and Thursday walk-ups could be decent.

They’re not having a good year. Breakthrough has been their only hit this year. Everything else has drastically bombed. Alita had an ok overseas turnout and it’s domestic total was decent for the type of film it was. But it’s budget was a big hurt, and it fell short.

Ouch at June box office! Toy Story 4 pulled in below expectations which is disappointing. But as from what I’ve been reading from deadline or Box Office Pro is that the other Pixar films had Father’s Day benefits. However, the debut is ahead of Toy Story 3 back in 2010. And on a bright side the film should have decent sized legs and make above Toy Story 3 domestic. Child’s Play debuted on-par with expectations although lower again. But hey it has a low budget. It’s debut though is on-par with the adjusted opening weekend of the original film, but is below the adjusted opening weekend of Bride Of Chucky which would do $22.7 million in today’s ticket prices. Child’s Play will probably disappear as horror fans may wanna go see Annabelle 3 on Wednesday and with mixed word of mouth this will drop off quick. However $30-$35 million will be a tidy profit for its domestic total. Aladdin still hanging on the top 3 charts, the film should do close to $965 million Worldwide maybe even a billion. Domestic side should be close above $325 million domestic. Men In Black:International is dying off quick in the states. This is a definite sign that if you don’t have the household names in your franchise, you won’t do shit. The film will still more likely do below the 7-day total of Men In Black 3, and should remain likely to do close to $70 million domestic. As expected, Secret Life Of Pets 2 got hit by Toy Story. More likely dailies in the summer will help it pay off its debt. But should do $145 million total. Rocketman proves to be a solid summer story, as legs are strong in the past few weeks as I have mentioned before. Unless, it dies off the face of the earth in a few weeks(I hope not and I don’t think it will), $100 million or more should be in play. John Wick Still holding up strong as it has. 160 is a comin. Godzilla passed $100 million, but probably not enough to save it. Dark Phoenix is now the biggest bomb of 2019, Fox is in deep shit this year. Shaft is dead. Anna bombed spectacularly maybe it should’ve been a VOD film. Late night who cares. I hope next month does solid. This summer is beginning to feel like summer 2014. Hell that summer was more appealing, you had 22 Jump Street outdo Dragon. Or Lucy & Fault In Our Stars outgross The Rock, Adam Sandler, and Tom Cruise. Or Maleficent do better than superheroes, Apes, Robots, and Godzilla.

This is the first Pixar film in the summer in several years without Father’s Day weekend being on opening weekend. So this is a tough comparison.

Annabelle 3: $26 million($40 million 5-day) Yesterday: $12 million

Remember guys Deadline has said that Godzilla: King Of Monsters was going to do $60 million on Friday matinees(which I wish was more true than the real numbers). They are a lot like internet trolls, they want to get us on these forums and overreact and bitch at everything. That’s why people leave or shit gets out of hands. Just let business be business.

Great preview numbers for both Toy Story and Child’s Play! Looks like the light could be coming around shortly as all of the new releases have been quite poor since the start of June.

Appealing, Krampus numbers though.

Sequels lead depressing Father’s Day weekend. Both sequels Men In Black: International and Shaft both underperformed on the worst Father’s Day weekend since possibly 2003! As the top 12 was at $123 million which is down massively from last year, and was at its low for June since 2012, but overall probably a toss up for this since 2003 or 2012. Men In Black: Internarional led the top spot this weekend with an estimated $28 million. That debut is remarkably lower than its predecessors, and the debut is well below Sony’s fellow underperformed all-female Ghostbusters reboot back in 2016 and is also lower than the other Will Smith absent Independence Day: Resurgence. The debut is in-line with Sony’s Will Smith underperformer After Earth. It is also ahead of Sony sci-fi-comedy bomb Pixels($24.8 million). A partial reason probably why MIB:International flopped was that audiences didn’t care to see a reboot without their favorite characters in it. This was primarily sold as a Marvel cash grab slapped with the Men In Black title. Also this would’ve been more appealing as a 5-10 minute Saturday Night Live Skit. And what the hell happened to the idea about the Jump Street/MIB crossover? C’mon Sony! According to Deadline, they’re saying that $300 million worldwide would be the break-even point. However, it’s stateside total will definitely miss the $100 million mark, hell it may be lucky to outgross Pixels domestically. Secret Life Of Pets 2 had an alright hold nothing special. The sequel will benefit from weekdays for sure, but it will be interesting to see how it will play out when Toy Story 4 hits Thursday night. Aladdin still a leggy champ, outside of Avengers: Endgame so far this is the highest grossing film of the Summer! With great word of mouth this has proved to be a nice surprise for 2019. Aladdin should do shout $305 million or so domestically. Dark Phoenix suffered one of the biggest 2nd weekend declines in 2019. It’s drop is by far the worst for any X-Men film, and even past June bombs like The Mummy dropped way lower. Fox is in a major rut this year, as their only hit has been Breakthrough. So definitely New Mutants may be shelved again after this. Dark Phoenix will die off with $60 million total, making it one of Summer 2019 and 2019’s potential biggest bomb yet! Rocketman still holding on in the top 5. It’s drops under 50% are good, and considering it’s dailies have been outstanding! This has been a decent sized hit for paramount and so far one of the few winners of the summer season! I hope $100 million domestic is still in line for this, if not $85-$90 million would be great for it as well! Shaft didn’t give the box office a big stiffy this weekend. The debut is by far Samuel L. Jackson’s lowest-grossing debuts in years! The problem with this film was that Warner Bros had no clue how to market the film only with flashy name cards and the theme song. That’s not going to sell a film in today’s day and age. Oh well, maybe Netflix will save it’s loss. But it’s domestic side may fall short of the debut of the 2000 film for sure. Godzilla trying to maintain box office. It’s overseas trying to help as its near $340 million worldwide. But it’s domestic total may come close to 300: Rise Of An Empire’s domestic total thats all I can see happen for it at this point sadly. John Wick 3 shooting up close to $150 million stateside. Just like Rocketman, and Aladdin, this is one of the nice success stories of the summer! Late Night expanded to lackluster results. Amazon Studios are flop kings from Gringo to Suspiria remake to Life Itself to now Late Night. The TV spots and posters to this were quite unappealing and what was the point of this getting a theatrical release? Maybe a VOD release would’ve been smarter. The poster looked like Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling were there for cash that’s it. Ma dropping but profitable for Blumhouse. Horror counter programming might be a tight squeeze for this one for the next two weeks with Child’s Play and Annabelle 3. But still a profitable flick. Dead Don’t Die debuted eh. May be a film I’d buy on dvd in September. Avengers:Endgame hanging out still a massive profit. As for 2019, not much. Next weekend will be big I have a feeling Toy Story 4 will do big, and Child’s Play could serve as a solid counterpart.

Toy Story 4: $173 million Child’s Play: $14 million Anna: $3 million

That’s embarrassing for these two new releases. I have a feeling there won’t won’t be a big non-Disney film or films in a while.

When you consider how films have been front-loaded this summer, this is kinda rough already. This is the most boring June since probably 1997, and that was notorious for having the notorious Speed 2: Cruise Control flopping, and as well Batman & Robin flopping. But those those two flopping are their own stories. Only successes June ‘97 had were: Hercules, Con Air, Face/Off, My Best Friend’s Wedding, and the Lost World:Jurassic Park Holdover.

Dark Phoenix may be lucky to match the opening weekend X-Men 2000 adjusted. Secret Life Of Pets 2 will do $155 million total, Toy Story 4’s opening weekend will outgross it.

MIB: $33 million Shaft: $17 million Late Night: $3 million

I know but it’s budget was low.

Since summer 2015/2016, I’d say it’s sequel fatigue every year. It’s not really a studio thing in my opinion. Disney has had their fair share of summertime sadness. I’d say 2015 while we had Jurassic World, Rogue Nation, Pitch Perfect 2, Age Of Ultron, and even Mad Max shine in the successful sequel category. We had sequels like Ted 2 or Terminator: Genisys underperform. I’m not going to consider Magic Mike XXL a complete failure, it had a drop-off but it’s modest budget saved it. 2016 is a prime example of sequel fatigue, oh my. TMNT 2, Alice 2, Star Trek: Beyond, Now You See Me 2, Independence Day: Resurgence, Ice Age 5, and kinda even X-Men:Apocalypse. Although Captain America: Civil War, Neighbors 2, Conjuring 2, Purge: Election Year, and Finding Dory were still hits. 2017 was probably the nail in the coffin. Cars 3, War For The Planet Of The Apes, Pirates 5, Alien: Covenant, and Transformers 5 all disappointed or bombed. But Despicable Me 3, Annabelle: Creation, and Guardians 2 were hits. Last year had sequel fatigue with just Solo: A Star Wars Story. Equalizer 2, Fallout, Mamma Mia 2, Hotel Transylvania 3, Ant-Man and The Wasp, Sicario 2, Fallen Kingdom, Ocean’s 8, Deadpool 2, Incredibles 2, and The First Purge were all hits. this summer is gonna be a shocker(no not the Wes Craven movie) but a shock as in John Wick will outgross both Dark Phoenix and Godzilla this summer. A reason why Aladdin is holding up so well is because Disney’s Live-Action remakes are hot right now. Why Dark Phoenix is flopping is because the American people and people on planet earth can go home and watch a much similar film for free on HBO/Cinemax. Or even find it cheap on dvd or Blu-ray instead of paying $11.50 or more on a ticket.

Terrible weekend. Toy Story May be the savior

More likely sadly. $140-$150 million I want but with bigger films it will produce $120 million or so. But it should be more of a success than Dark Phoenix, that film smells underperformer but will have a better overseas performance than Godzilla probably.

It can happen but it will probably sneak past $300 million once you add it drive-ins with Toy Story 4 and Lion King. Also, potential Labor Day expansión as well. I think more likely $300-$305 million domestic. Alice 1 will only be if it has some magic late legs. I’m optimistic and slightly too positive on certain things.

Ah shit 🙄. I was thinking of The Matrix: Revolutions more than the first Matrix movie. Well then it will be(before Hobbs & Shaw and Toy Story 4) be his top 3 hits. For Lionsgate it will be one of their biggest hits(without Hunger Games or Divergent included).

Godzilla:King Of Monsters debut shouldn’t be a shock. The 2014 film was sold primarily as Bryan Cranston and Godzilla, and that was after Cranston was done with Breaking Bad. This was sold entirely on Godzilla himself, and may play a little better than the last one. But hopefully this isn’t a down right failure. I’m thinking $140 million domestic total for its high at the moment. Aladdin still hanging on second place. Whereas the Disney duds previously released on Memorial Day, no one remembered after second weekend. A total around 2010’s Alice In Wonderland wouldn’t be a shocker. Rocketman’s estimated $25 million debut isn’t as big as the debut of last year’s Bohmeian Rhapsody, but it’s a solid debut nonetheless considering it’s $40 million budget and solid word of mouth. Also this is having some more controversy than even Rhapsody had. Overall this will play like a summer sleeper and make $80 million domestic but to quote a man “read my lips $100 million isn’t off the table.” Speaking of potential sleepers, Ma debuted decent with an estimated $18.2 million. The debut is ahead of summer thrillers like The Shallows(ah Blake Lively 😍) . However it’s on-par with Blumhouse’s Truth Or Dare, and it’s a downcry from The Purge franchise, however considering Blumhouse spends little to nothing on their films this will be a big profit already in the books. While Ma is having alright to so-so word of mouth anything close between $40-$50 million wouldn’t be a shock. For the rest of the other releases: John Wick still doing ok as it’s poised to be Keanu’s 2nd highest grossing film domestic, Avengers: Endgame still hanging on, Pikachu and the rest are alright. overall the top 12 was at $168.9 million which is a landslide improvement of around 68% from last year when studios were dumping on the first weekend of June and Star Wars flop Solo was leading in its second weekend. Overall May 2019 was up from last year not the record but the 2nd highest grossing May behind 2013. 2019 is overall ahead of 2014,2015, and 2016. It is still a downfall from 2018, and is coming close to 2017 at this point. I apologize for my taking in box office being short. Just been busy with a baby and stuff. And heading back around places a lot.

Secret Life Of Pets 2: $65 million Dark Phoenix: $40 million
