Is it too late to move this movie's release date up two weeks to June 8th in the US?

How much money did they leave on the table by not releasing JW2 on the 2nd or 3rd weekend after SoLow?

 

 

yeah in hingsight releasing it the same week as overseas would have been the better idea, but they had no idea Solo was going to implode so badly so they probably wanted some distance between it

[MovieMan89]

There's no way to move it up this close to release. Could be disastrous for the OW since there's no time to market the release change. 

[Mojoguy]

Solo is turning into the biggest nonevent of the summer, Universal should have really released JW2 June 8th DOM.

Releasing the first JW before Inside Out was smart thinking.

Now... the weekend after Incredibles 2 seems like a much worse release date.

Yeah, I know. Way too late and all that.

But what could have been and all that if Universal had some bigger balls and originally decided to go up against a SW film.

Lesson learned I guess. Other studios are going to be way more willing to put up their films against a SW spinoff.

Also worth noting this weekend was originally for DP2 when Uni did the scheduling. It would have been completely asinine to schedule it sandwiched between DP2 and I2, not to mention Solo two weeks before.

Completely forgot about DP2 originally releasing this weekend. Yeah, they really shouldn't have moved DP2.

Why not, DP2 is the movie that will benefit the most from Solo's disappointing run. Especially overseas where it got away from JW2.

If anything, the drought of live-action tentpoles will help JW2 when it finally opens.

LOL at people listening to tracking numbers after the Solo 170mil debacle. 

[AgentofMONARCH]

LOL this is completely hilarious. You guys are BEYOND DESPERATE in hoping this movie will fail at the box office when it clearly won't.

 

Can you at least try to hide your Disney-bias a just little bit?

 

Saying this movie won't even hit $100 million OW has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever read on the internet.

Same thing happened with Ready Player One. People desperate for it to bomb ended up with egg on their faces when it did okay. JW will do much better than okay because the overseas numbers will be massive. The domestic will go down by how much we'll have to wait and see.

I hope people don’t cry bomb when this falls a good bit short of JW.  It was always going to.  But, less than 350/650...would be disapointing.

[Hatebox]

I'd be perfectly happy with this bombing because JW was so bad, but it's not happening. After DP2 doing merely ok and Solo doing horribly the audience will be hungry for another big movie.

I think it's sad that i make a prediction and people like you jump straight on the bias wagon. Can I not make a prediction without being labelled as a Disney lover? I couldn't care less what logo comes before the movie.

 

Box office is full of surprises every year so it's silly to rule anything out

What about Deadpool 2 missing it’s $130-150m range? 

 

As someone else said though, hopefully the under performance of Deadpool 2 and Solo will help this out.

Yep, that was over estimated as well. I do think that Fallen Kingdom will drop big from it's predecessor but if the reviews are decent again I could see it doing really well due to the under performance of both of those films. 

[Water Bottle]

I'm at the Grove today. Encountered some real good marketing from Amazon and Jurassic World 2. I'm pumped for this movie now.

 

Will post pics later if people interested.

[Lordmandeep]

I think Incredbiles 2 and this will do well, there was nothing really to see.
