Could it be linked to China blackout period ?

 

in 2017 the blackout started august 1 I think:

• This year's annual summer blackout coincided with the commemoration of the founding of the People's Liberation Army on August 1

 

Summer blackout in China usually begins in July. Last year, the July blockbusters like Spider-Man, Apes 3, and Dunkirk all got pushed to September releases in China. There are some rare exceptions of foreign films being allowed during this period, such as DM3 getting a July release in China.

-3rd biggest opening day in China behind MONSTER HUNT 2 ($86.4M) and THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS ( $75.8M).

$77.8M Saturday

-2nd biggest single day gross in China - and biggest Saturday - behind opening day of MONSTER HUNT 2.

$149.1M 2 day total

Nice. People talking about a good show at last.

 

Out of the main cast, I would say Glover, Pundin and Chase had the most consistently unfunny characters on the show. Rash, on the other hand, was always the MVP every time he was on screen.

Disney will eek a flop over the 100mil mark as if their life depends on it. So Disney went from a 260mil bomb with John Carter to a 190mil flop with Tomorrowland to a 100mil flop with A Wrinkle in Time. Time to lower the next one's budget to 55mil.

I learned pretty quickly that Revenge was a French film. Instead of immediately walking out and blaming @That One Guy for tricking me into watching a foreign film, I watched it and you know what?

 

I give it a B+.

Every opinion you have on television is the wrong opinion.

Glover bad comedian; HE NEVER LANDED DEM JOKES RIGHT! Mostly because him passing as a popular/dumb jock was pretty jarring that's true.

This is a bad take.

Genuinely cannot wrap my head around this take at all.

Just noticed that I Feel Pretty looks like it will easily out-gross Snatched. Good for that film, thought it was really good.

Don't get why studios keep avoiding putting major tentpole films in August. GOTG and Suicide Squad proved you can open big and get good legs. I guess the July Weekdays are too appealing for Studios still.

Yeah, no joke. Late August through mid September is traditionally a WASTELAND. If you release something with halfway decent legs in mid-August, it has over a month with virtually negative competition.
