GOd, why the hate for Indian Jones?

Not hate. I love Indy. One of my favorite franchises of all time. And a lot of others love it too. Objectively, though, the movie doesn't have much to offer to young people. At least TGM had.....young people in it.

Indy5 has no one to market to. The movie has absolutely zero appeal to anyone younger than 30, little appeal if any to people in their 30's.. Indiana Jones is a long forgotten franchise without the modern luxuries of video games, toys, tv shows, etc. It will be lucky to hit much over $300 million and may not even get that much. TLM will be head to head with GOTG3 for the summer title.

People said the same thing about TGM.

The only thing I see having a chance against super Marios is Indy5 with insane level WOM  legging to 550-600m+ Dom and TGM numbers  OS.

 

I think Flash might be able to do it.

Because Indian Jones is just a lame rip off of Indiana Jones!

This should clean up. No female competition until Barbie

[dudalb]

Reviews don't matter with these liva action remakes. Disney will make huge bucks off  of this.

And I have a huge dislike for these remakes.

Except for Dumbo, the live remakes of Disney Classic films always clean up at the box office.

They won't get my money..I have no intrest is paying to see this...but I can see box office reality.

This is not a letterboxd friendly movie. That site is literally a platform to show off your ~superior taste. Half of it is people pretending they loved movies they secretly hated or didn't watch. 

Or they have other interests than just what Hollywood sells, which is absolutely fine and even a reality for most people overseas (a big portion of LB users) since we’re used to see something beyond just sequels and IP’s because our culture and industry is different

Elemental (3 weeks in) and Joy Ride (2 weeks before barbie) seem like various sorts of female skewing competition though I assume Disney has some model suggesting Elemental and TLM will not eat each other like a deranged French chief would eat a crab.

Joy Ride isn't competition for this since one is PG and the other is R.

Yeah, scratch that. I was somehow merging TLM and Barbie in my mind. I could see Barbie getting impacted by both but not TLM.

Presales in SK and China are not good at all for this.

Soundtrack is out digitally. Been listening to Under the Sea...

 

... and I can't stop listening to it. I have a problem. Mind you, Under the Sea is probably my single favourite Disney song and I'm a sucker for any version of it, so I was probably going to enjoy this regardless, but I fully expect this version to be eviscerated all over the internet.

 

Whatever. I love this version of Under the Sea, so I'll just keep listening to it.

Love the soundtrack!

Box Office Pro has finally caught on and given TLM a 21% increase in projection. $90-$112 million 3-day weekend projection and $115-$143 million 4-day.

I have to admit, Daveed Diggs as Sebastian has really grown on me listening to Under the Sea.

I'm thinking there will be stiff comp from The Flash.

Yeah, i guess it's between this and The Flash. I think TLM will do at least 350M. Reviews won't matter for it
