Yeah maybe make one of them illegal....

they did in 1919 and it lead to just as much drinking as there was before and a lot more organized crime and shootings

I watched the first Thor last night probably for the first time since 2011 or 2012. I actually liked it quite a bit this time lol. The first time I just found it boring and I guess I compared it to much to Iron Man. But this time I really enjoyed Loki and I like the hawk eye cameo and the shield stuff was cool and Natalie Portman and Kat Dennings are just adorable in it. So Chalk me up as a fan of the original Thor where initially I did not like it at all.

The original Thor had the best on screen chemistry between the triple H’s: Hopkins, Hemsworth, Hiddleston.

 

Thor’s soundtrack is also amazing!

Yeah, but AOU which is a 191 has a 2.4 multi. And honestly, it isn't unfair to compare a movie opening at 191 to a movie opening that opened just over 200.

It IS "unfair".  Statistics don't work if you can nudge the numbers as you please.  You can't create a rule and then say "close enough."  The openings for this and AOU will not be in the same ballpark anyway - so we're gonna nudge AOU up 9M and IW down 40-80M and apply the same rule to them that way?

I think it just shows how hard it is to get to $200m and usually for a film to get there it requires some extraordinary WOM, which then leads to the good multipliers going forward.

Well, except OW tends not to be fueled by WOM.

[Rebeccas]

wherest art the numbers

There's close to 600 people on this site right now....all waiting for the preview number to drop.

I think it has an impact on giant openers only. Like to get to that top tier $200m+ area, you're either looking at Star Wars which just has a larger fanbase than anything else in America or some pretty good buzz happening.

Rampage lost 15% of its theaters this week. Theater losses now take effect on Thursday evenings instead of Friday due to the Thursday event kick-off for new releases now.

 

Not only that but Rampage dropped from two or three screens to a single screen at many locations (and from three or more to just two). The same is true for A Quiet Place and pretty much all of the holdovers. Anything that is not AIW is down to a single screen at most cineplexes with 6-15 or so screens.

next week should not loose to many film bookings.  Rampage, AQP, or anything that has around 6-10 showings per day should continue to shrink and the 3 new openers are opening moderately and probably one screen per film.

After seeing the deadline numbers for the first time, I listened to a lecture, watched Isle of Dogs and tried to get my hair cut. I want new numbers now, damnit!

[baumer]

@vc2002 Thank you for starting my morning off with a giant laugh.  I really was sipping on a Tea when I read your Commando reset.  Thanks bud.  Love love love it!

[Alli]

Everybody when the numbers are released....

 

[Lordmandeep]

I think the number will be 45 million +/- 10%.

But you want to compare Summer Movies to winter movies, or you're going to bump IW down 40-80M to compare to the summer movies. So you're going to apply the same rule to them that way?
