Time to burn the witch because he won't shill Pirates 5/Transformers 5 like the others on here I guess...

In case you're not aware, you could criticize a movie without calling the fans "mouthbreathers"

I might if they had realistic expectations and didn't constantly foam at the mouth over "advance ticket sales" or whatever like it's gonna save Maggie's farm somehow

Oh my God, it's literally not even about this.  Sorry for probably derailing this thread, but you're one of the most consistently annoying users on here because all you do is make pointless rants about how bad a movie is or how much of a flop it is or whatever and barely post any SHRED of positivity on here.  Instead, you prefer to incoherently ramble about whatever movie is coming out in any weekend and fail to contribute in any meaningful or significant way.  It's really just a vat of toxic hate spewing all out of your mouth, and you need to stop.

We use advance ticket sales because it's one of the few tools we have to predict hype/OW. If you actually took a second to understand our posts, you would know that.

In case you can't read the title of our fucking forums, we're a forum DEDICATED to box office, and advance ticket sales are a contributing factor when it comes to predicting box office.

Not a particularly GOOD factor considering the Alien Covenant "we're gonna hit 45 mil!" crowd based on the advance ticket sales, mind you...

You really just don't get it, do you?

I get that people really can't extrapolate BO based solely on advance ticket sales for a Thurs. and that rth/Empire were better actual BO guides than most around here...

It's a walkup movie.  It doesn't need huge presales.

Doesn't matter. If this was a 30M opener for the 3 day, it would have been on Pulse by now. Weak presales+a late embargo+weak reactions from the Dolby screenings=underperformance.

Users like him are why I have no respect for the newbs. They have no respect for us old timers who created these places they waltz into and try to own.

I'd go find some comparison points if the old BOB&T thread were still open.  Sadly it's not :sadben:.

 

But I do think I remember Legend of Tarzan having poor presales yet that still made it to 38M.

Sure but Baywatch is hardly gonna attract anyone on Thursday.  Plus LoT opened on the high end of 38M.  If BW isn't on MT or Pulse by tomorrow then maybe we can start to worry a bit.

In theory it should attract people on Wed.
