Any movie you would bet against?

 

If you made a movie, I would bet against it all day long if it is anything like your posts.

@snarkmachine I need you to give up your name because clearly, EmpireCity should have it!

I think this would have rocked late Jan/early Feb...

 

But seeing the trailer and the "everywhereness" of it, I still think this is gonna do well.  Just like the Uncharted trailer seemed like a fun fresh movie for an actor everyone loves in the type of role he had...

 

I think Morbius is the same concept - an actor people love in dark and creepy in something dark and creepy and fresh-feeling for supers.

 

Put me in the $40M+ OW camp...and I might go higher pending reviews...

The only times people talk about Jared Leto nowadays is to dunk on him.

I don't think people care about Leto, hype for this is more because it's one of those "spooky" superhero movies and those usually have a certain audience.

After a series of pandemic-related delays, “Morbius” will finally open in theaters on April 1. Sony executives are hoping the movie, which cost $75 million to produce, will turn a profit by continuing the box office hot streak of comic book adaptations, including “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “The Batman,” starring Robert Pattinson.

Indeed strong start. Better than Shang Chi. About 2/3rd of Eternals. 

Though also better than Venom 2 but Venom 2 sales trajectory was weird and it's better to just ignore them. I can see $8M+ previews quite easily given Shang Chi over indexed in Alpha and Canada, but will go $7-8M for now as IDK if non-CBM crowd will be that keen on it ike Venom, it's a new character and not Tom Hardy. 

 

Another win for Sony.

 

Also saw this on twitter...not sure if reliable

 

If this $75M production manages a $50M domestic debut then this will be a HUGE win for Sony. It'll be profitable by its 2nd weekend WW lmao.
