I think the term you meant was "movie" and yes, there is.

Disobedience!  looks really good.

[Cookson]

No way Rampage misses 100m now. It would have to totally collapse, which there's no signs of. It'll benefit from IW bleedover sellouts too.

 

It has a shot at 150m in China. Would be surprised if WB doesn't do a sequel.

Or tuesday when the reviews drop.

A little research indicates there is some movie called Avengers: Infinity Wars. Never heard of it. seems super obscure

What's an Avenger? Related to a Ranger Solo?

[MovieMan89]

BP's holds really have been a thing of beauty. 40% or less for 8 weekends in a row. -44% for weekend 2 was its "bad" hold so far, lol.

idk. looks like silly guys in suits. no budget at all

[baumer]

An interesting note is that when Avengers opened no other film opened wide against it.  But The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel opened in 27 theatres and made 737,000.  It then increased every week after for three weeks in a row.  I wonder if there is any mini breakout coming up in the next few weeks.  

 

Kings, with Daniel Craig and Halle Berry comes out the same weekend as IW.  Can it possibly find an audience?

Unlikely. Overboard will probably do alright but will likely remain limited in appeal. Life of the Party should do alright thanks to Melissa McCarthy's drawing power but it seems to be arriving with even less fanfare than The Boss did.

102 Not Out. Goin after that wildly underserviced over age 100 demo. 

 

In all seriousness, The Seagull would be the only May limited release with any potential to find a wider audience, though I doubt it.

I don't mean films that are being released wide.  I mean a smaller film with a small platform release, like TBEMH had.

There's nothing opening in limited release for the next few months that look to make waves of any kind (at least until July). Tully should do fine but I doubt it makes much more than Young Adult did.

Rachael Weisz and McAdams

 

I'm listening. 

 

And it looks like its a movie where they are attracted to each other and stuff happens.  Hmmmmm

I'm one of those fools who thinks Tully could break out.

Might want to tamper those expectations then. Focus is giving it a very quiet marketing push, plus they're not a studio that that enjoys much commercial success (at least for non-Oscar contenders) anyway.

[DAR]

Ah yes Tully next film in the “ully” cinematic universe

@WrathOfHan are you being sarcastic or are you genuinely predicting a $300M+ OW for IW?

Yes. I also know that it's cool to see a member who has been a Nuisance and a constant negative presence go  

I see you didn't read the entire thread.
