Aladdin live action movie | 24 MAY 2019 | Disney | 7th most profitable movie of 2019. Disney does it again!

57 on MC with 12 reviews

The budget is actually kinda “”low””, anything over $ 500M and this is a success.

 

Still thinking this will finish in the 600’s with a shot in $ 700M.

 

Could be better? Yes, but no one can complain.

Aladdin will do too.

Presales in Mexico are looking at a bit over half of Maleficent OW according to the Mexico thread. Should be the same in other Latin American markets. But @salvador-232 knows more about Latin America than I do.

It’s impressive how the movie is actually getting good reviews and still some people fine a way to be negative... what a waste of time.

Its the people predicting 25%. It's all they have left.

I'm expecting huge numbers here in Italy, tonight i will go in my  multiplex and it's almost sold out for 3 shows (more than 300 seats).

Americans are underestimating  the WW numbers of this so much only because old stuff like dumbo and mary poppins didn't make 5 times their budget (and because it doesn't look white and neither black). This a remake of a 90's classic (not boring old movies like DUMBo) loved in all the world. And there is a fuck..ng disney princess in it.

58 with 18 and  it's scored The Hollywood Reporter a 50 when it's marked rightfully Fresh on RT but then MC doesn't like to read an entire review before slapping on a number to it...

Hmm...these reviews aren't amazing but they certainly aren't bad enough for the embargo to drop this late. Very odd decision and the marketing for this has been shit across the board.

Now now.  I too think it' s being underestimated but Italy rather liked Dumbo - at least more than AQM and CM

Hopefully Elizabeth Banks' Charlie's Angels also turns out well later this year to give Naomi Scott a good breakout year.

I think Italy might perform pretty well compared to most other markets.

Yeah it will most likely open above Dumbo, but in Germany for example I am not yet sold on opening above Marry Poppins and rather certain that it will open below Cinderella (and Jungle Book and B&tB (probably less than 1/4 of this)). Though it obviously could open higher as presales only started on Monday in the 2nd biggest chain and in the biggest chain yesterday, only the Previews today were on sale before that.

I was fully expecting him to HATE this film, and when I saw his tweet last night, I was shocked.

No.  If they wanted to grade their movies they'd grade them when the published them.    That's all MC and they don't read full reviews and they consistently over grade or under grade - and then they have that magic algorithm that weighs sources.

 

Even at RT about the half critics don't even submit their reviews or mark them fresh or rotten - particularly mainstream newspaper & magazine reviews where the top critics tend not have graded reviews.

So it's......decent?

[cdsacken]

down to 68. Should start stabilizing in about 15 reviews. Will either sit around 70 or fall to DP numbers is my guess. Not great or even good just decent.

Hey it's better than Dumbo which sucked. I'd take decent all day.

How far we've come from:

 

[OncomingStorm93]

Down to 65% at 45 reviews, down from I think 85% at 13 reviews? Sinking fast...
