The most successful people are the ones who came to the show with already pre-established careers (Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Gillen, etc.)

Don't forget Sean Bean.

 

Speaking of, when was the last time he died?

We are long past the era of may 2007 with 3 100 openers. It's only going to get worse the more crowded the release slate is.

SM3 had a 2.227 multi off a $100m lower weekend.   AIW at minimum will do a 2.56. 

 

I'm not sure how that shows how 2018 is harder going than 2007 - even accounting for the disparity in audience reaction.  The movies in 2007 got their legs and openings cut a bit too with compeition.  Just as it happened in 2013 with IM3, STD and FF6.

I hope Maisie Williams can get post-Thrones work, the girl can act

Add to that Infinity War - even adjusted - has a MUCH larger gross than SM3.

Exactly. now you're getting it. Loooootta the actors well known from that show are kinda trash. But they have smart agents who are leveraging the success of that show. As we saw with Joffrey's actor, people can't tell person apart from character so they think they like the actors when they really just like their characters...

 

Anyway, this is where the real fun starts. Get all of the "gotta see it opening day" viewers out of the way so we can get a real picture of how Solo will do.

Agreed, though she didnt act that well in Season 7. Mostly has to do with the bad material they gave her, but still.

Hi guys... Sorry about last night. Let's not talk about it.

 

 

is deadpool really doing that poorly? And I heard the budget for Solo is "well North of 300m" according to Deadline.

Deadpool's doing what it was always going to do. The audience for it is big, but not gigantic. It's fine.

 

Deadline says a lot of things.

She did well, it was just the Littlefinger stuff that was shoddy.

 

Really looking back, while that season was one of the weaker thrones seasons (still better than season 5, maybe on par with 2), it was still solid overall.  Lots of really great moments, there were just a couple of dumb ones as well (the time jumping isn’t as bad in hindsight.  It was more jarring getting used to going from the slower moving previous seasons)

Just something I've been thinking...

Does Disney even care about box office? I mean like Netflix..it's all about content..so if you can break even in cinema..and video sales..you just got some content for your streaming service for free 

[CoolioD1]

v. excited for how mad and disappointed everyone is gonna be over the last season of thrones.

Deadpool 2 is already profitable so there’s not much to complain about at the end of the day. But as a matter of relativity, it was expected to do more.

Out of the "largely unknown before GoT" crowd of actors, to me Natalie Dormer is the best of the lot.

No, they dont. Since all they want is money, they clearly coudnt care less about how well a movie performs.

 

Srsly what kind of question is that?
