Greek Wedding 2 was lucky to have only held the record for a few months.

 

Not really fair to either of the Greek Wedding films. This actually did ok.

So was Neon Demon the zero star movie that James Berardenelli mentioned?

Yeah, he pretty much confirmed. First zero star grade from him since Bachelorette.

Illumination is going to have to start settling for 100M-low 200's if they keep alienating older audiences; given the budgets on their movies they should be fine with that.

This was on the THR report, which confuses me since they're saying $65M.

 

(The Pixar and Disney sequel will swim past the $300 million mark domestically sometime on Sunday.)

In admissions, I think The Sting 2's 99% admissions drop off is the only thing way worse than what ID4 to IDR will be. IDR is headed to an 85%+ tumble. To put that in perspective, even disastrous drop offs like Scream 4 and Alice 2 didn't go above like a 75% decrease in admissions. IDR's admissions drop will be catastrophic.

Neon Demon is going to have awful holds on Saturday and Sunday.

Newsflash: adults make up the majority of moviegoers.

Newsflash: adults have to take kids to movies, so they are still present in a big way in the gross for a family drive film. Pets won't have a significant adult w/o kids demo, and it doesn't need it to hit 300.

Alice definitely did.

Oh my, you'll love it.

 

I'll be soooo disappointed if the shark doesn't win Best Villain at the next MTV Movie Awards.

They don't have actual numbers, and basically just admitted they're making up random ones.

I do think Illumination needs to stop being lazy with the storytelling. Watching the Zootopia doc shows how much effort WDAS into the story, constantly retooling it until they got it right and I imagine because of budgets, Illumination don't do that.

Seeing Free State tonight! Shallows and ID4 will wait for tomorrow's double feature.

Probably right around 75% because remember that the first was hugely inflated by 3d. 

[Dementeleus]

IDR was just horrible. Really awful. And I know I bag on ID4 a fair amount, but I'd still give it a B- or so. This one is in D territory. The sole redeeming factor is it's nice to see Goldblum in a big summer movie again.

 

There were maybe 20 people at my show, in a theater that probably seats 400. I know it was a late morning show, but it was also the Arclight Hollywood, where geek-centric movies routinely do very well.

They're making up random illogical numbers, actually.

So their numbers are also worthless then?

What is Greek Wedding 2's admissions drop-off? Pretty sure it's worse than ID4-2's.

That's what I figured.   It's rotten reviews border on really hating that film.
