Another thing if someone didn’t like TLJ that’s fine.  But to rate it a 0 shows that person knows very little about movies

Perplexed at that estimated Coco Sunday drop.  It doesn't seem to make sense at all.

 

Though anectodal, I'm really thinking that Disney really should have worked a bit harder to advertise this because a lot of people I've spoken to barely know it's out right now and normally Pixar movies have a stronger word of mouth in the fantasy/sci-fi crowd I usually deal with.  Everyone we've taken to it enjoyed it a lot, but most of the people I know have reached the point where the showings are so hard to get to now that they're just waiting for the streaming/blu ray release.

 

I will say it's hard to dismiss the possibility that the current political climate is also having a slight negative effect on it.  People seem to have little problem going onto Disney's Vevo and other youtube accounts to talk about how this movie should be banned in America for having Mexican characters and that's the sort of dialogue I don't think I've ever seen for other Pixar/Disney films.

When the movie dropped 2% on friday, Scott wrote in his article that it actually broke a record about "lowest second to third third friday drop among big blockbusters"

This is who you're latching onto as the "voice of reason"

The only reason Bright got that many viewers is because it was on Netflix and included with a subscription. If this was pushed theatrically with $9+ tickets, you'd be looking at 30M tops on OW.

 

 

I think you fail to see Netflix long-term plan here, people crapped on the TV Showplan and now they are one of top producers of TV shows in a few years. I cancelled my cable as a result. 

 

I am not saying they will be for movies but I think they will be a big contender in a few years which is a disrupting factor for the movie industry.

 

Just looking at trends and I think how many viewers you think they can get if they make pretty good movies instead of okay ones like Bright?

It is a bad thing since most normal people were WTFing at  things that apperantly make sense to you.

 

Nobody gets this shit or interpreted it the way intended ,  unless you live in fringe twitter leftist world, because it doesn't make any sense and it's not applicable to the real world

If you say so.

Disney’s Monday projection confuses me. Why a drop when pretty much everything else will increase?

 

Then again, it did drop on a Friday so I guess it’s not that crazy lol

TLJ is now running 225 million behind TFA.

 

225 million is basically the entire Justice League's, Logan's and Fate of The Furious domestic numbers, by the way. Do you guys really think it's just the casual people not watching TLJ?

That and repeat viewings will be much less than TFA

Are out others people’s theaters also like mine on NYE? There is no adjusted schedule like on Xmas Eve, every showing is as normal. Late night included...

It's pretty obvious that's why he's acting like Disney PR for this movie and presenting very misleading statistics to his readers, because he believes it panders to his fringe ideolgoy.

 

Like Blade Runner he gave it a bad review and danced on his grave with the bad BO results  because he believed it was ideologically impure movie
