With Disney now owning Fox, I can't wait for Monsters, Inc. and X-Files to crossover, and Sully and Scully will finally be together at last.

[SofNascimento]

I wonder out of ignorance, would Disney be happy for AQP's success? I mean, looking at Mary Poppins. Emily Blunt lacked this big hit (ignoring Devil Wears Prada). Edge of Tomorrow should have been that but alas people prefered to watch other films.

People won't be seeing Poppins for Emily Blunt, they'll be seeing it because it's the sequel to Mary Poppins

I highly doubt her success with AQP makes any difference on what MPR will do since we are literally talking about as polar opposite of films as we can get in terms of their audience. Into the Woods and The Devil Wears Prada will likely have the most bearing on most who see MPR knowing who she is.

Well, at least one person will see the film because of Blunt. But what I take from your statement is that you see no consequences of AQP success in Mary Poppins?

The image of Emily Blunt taking on such an iconic role (and being the perfect substitute for the irreplaceable Julie Andrews) will lead to increased interest but yeah, most people are gonna go see Mary Poppins Returns just because it's called Mary Poppins Returns. And it will make a killing over the holidays for sure.

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.

 

I'm aware of all of that.  

 

Just a feeling.

How did Paramount manage to get a China release for A Quiet Place with their supernatural laws? 

Cause it ain’t a film about ghosts, demons, etc. It’s Sci-fi horror.

I don’t get why people called AQP a supernatural horror film. The creatures in it are not ghosts or anything. 

[IronJimbo]

AQP was Jim hype tbh, its pretty unstoppable

[Valonqar]

That's a crazy good hold for Rampage.  Only 41% drop for that type of a movie is wow. The Rock is on the roll. Massive OS too.

Whew, after some PM's with a couple mods and many others this morning confirming that I actually do provide a lot of value to the forum and that Baumer is flat out wrong (as usual), the people have spoken and I am back folks.  

 

In other words: your self-important, attention-grabbing stunt ("I AM LEAVINGQ... WAAAAH!!!!") worked.

Your "fans" clamored for you to "stay" and all is well and good.

You got what you were clearly after with that post the whole time: attention. Next time spare us the dramatic bullshit. 

Bingo!

I Feel Pretty: 5M

Super Troopers: 2.6M

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

0% on RT with few reviews

From a distributor that achieved to reach 5m once in their 41 releases, never achieved to get 600 theaters:

Rampage is not going to drop over 70%. Would've been with you on that if it didn't have such a strong hold this weekend; WOM is spreading.

Don't think WOM matters one bit against IW. It's too much of a direct competitor, and I'm sticking by BP being the top choice for IW spillover. It just makes too much sense. 

 

[baumer]

Rampage might fall 45-50% next weekend. It's not going to crumble.

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 heard spitting is involved between them in the sexual way.
