Ultimately, the biggest problem with Bright is that it squeezes nudity, profanity and blood into the kind of dopey adventure that should be aimed more at adolescents - right down to its simplistic lessons about tolerance.

   How can that be?  Every one knows nudity, violence and profanity = ADULT

What were you guys expecting from this anyway?  It had no shot at getting anywhere near TFA a once in a generation hype machine.. 

 

Many here were wanting it to get past Avatar. Maybe it will, but needs to outgross Rogue One by 46% every single day (on average) the rest of the way to do it. Not easy.

The box office pro twitter pos/neg ratio is indeed really low, but I am not sure if it is representative.

 

DATE	# TWEETS	POS:NEG RATIO
December 20, 2017	154,916	4 : 1
December 19, 2017	195,028	3 : 1
December 18, 2017	240,620	5 : 1

 

 

How representative that non random group would be and how small it it is, not sure how good at tracking them box office pro is, but we are talking about 200-500k twitt a day, divide say by 5 for the amount of unique users, we are getting what over 50 million people that have seen that movie by now, the immense majority not talking about it on tracked platform.

 

In my day to day life at work and so one I had heard more Force Awaken is just a copy complain than complain about this one, that said not many big star wars fan in that feedback, really general audience like.

How does that twitter stat compare to TFA or RO though

Impossible.  It would require less than a 2.37 multiplier.  Christmas week days and NYs will be larger than anything this last week.  It will probably be around $500m before NY's Eve weekend

Avatar is roughly 80% of TFA's gross. The way I see it, there is no excuse for it to open to 88% of TFA's OW and yet come in less than 80% of its total if not reflective of WOM.

I would think if anyone would be in the know about discount Tuesday theaters it would be @EmpireCity and our other fearless insiders.

Not necessarily WOM it could totally be explained by sequalitis lol. I don't argue it has stellar word of mouth he'll, I haven't even had a chance to see it yet and judge for myself but I dont think anyone expected it to have the same legs as TFA regardless.

Absolutely.  But the other films showed what would be expected out of a strong discount day bump

The Last Jedi is doing extremely well. As expected.

 

It isn't gonna match The Force Awakens or inspire the mania that movie did. As expected.

 

You all are arguing over a bunch of nothing. As usual.

Does not seem to be able to find older data with internet archives very much and they move a lot over time:

 

 

TFA:

 

DATE	# TWEETS	POS:NEG RATIO
March 21, 2016	20,118	31 : 1
March 20, 2016	24,794	30 : 1
March 19, 2016	24,041	31 : 1

 

Rogue one:

DATE	# TWEETS	POS:NEG RATIO
January 03, 2017	117,142	8 : 1
January 02, 2017	125,207	7 : 1
January 01, 2017	111,135	3 : 1

DATE	# TWEETS	POS:NEG RATIO
January 26, 2017	33,722	16 : 1
January 25, 2017	99,959	13 : 1
January 24, 2017	108,132	17 : 1

And one could argue that the bumps as great as they were are not nearly as strong across the whole board as we have seen the last few months.

I'm not expecting same legs as TFA, that would be 88% of TFA's gross. If it came in more around that 80% mark, then I might agree not necessarily WOM. But it's more likely to be in the 70-75% range with how things look so far. WOM is a factor in that case.

Exactly. Overreaction is the name of the game here. It's what makes this place fun, especially when the stakes are this high.

[That One Girl]

these numbers practically confirm it’s going under Justice League.  rip this franchise.

Not a regular Monday though. Films like Coco and Daddy's Home were actually up from Monday to Monday thanks to some kids out of school.
