I really love the Fallen Kingdom soundtrack. Giaccino might not be anywhere near the genius level of Williams, but he makes damn good scores nevertheless.

Very true. Though, John Williams is still around. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have him score the next movie, if JW3 is the finale to get that magical & wonderful feeling again? One more JP-movie can’t hurt....right Williams? You did it for the two first ones.

It'll be interesting to see if WOM slows down those Weekend Walk Ups, or only kills its second week.  I've been scrolling through letterboxd for 30 minutes.  They're not kind.  Mixed at best, scathing at worse.

Buzz does feel pretty muted for Ant-Man. Then again, the first movie was one of the lowest-grossing MCU movies.

I can see a repeat of AM1.

 

It opens with a sequel jump ala IM2/TTDW ($70M-$75M) and has legs over a 3x multiple.

It's been a long time since I've seen JW in its entirety but I seem to remember Robinson being a douche to his GF even before they left for the island.

Literally their conversation:

 

GF: I love you babe

 

Love Simon: Whatever.

 

Fuck that kid.

Dory jumped 19% on Sat (after 33% on Friday) and Cars3 jumped 23.5% (after 75% on Friday)

25.0 (+49%)

32.5 (+30%)

25.7 (-21%)

= 83.2

 

Given Incredibles 2 played differently - as in did better on true Saturday than Dory and other Pixar movies - I expect it to play better on Saturday and Sunday than others did as well. Snagged some of the superhero crowd and played well to the 18 to 35 crowd as well. Should do better than other Pixar flicks did in the evening shows. Just my feeling.

Well we finally got our back-to-back weekends with 100 openers for the first time in over a decade.

 

What's next?

tbf Letterboxd is exactly the kind of crowd that would hate this movie lol.  I think the GA will like it, it's a crowdpleasing fun movie

I’m curious about audience response the most, RT is at 64% audiences.

I dont think WOM will be bad or even mixed. People said the same about the first JW and that had amazing audience reception.

 

People just want to have a fun time seeing people getting eaten by dinosaurs. They get that.

[Hatebox]

What's the record OW drop from one mega-opener to its sequel? JW2 will surely approach it, depending on your definition of 'mega-opener'?

He realized that Blue was his one true love.

WOM is already below the first movie in other territories though.

%-wise or raw dollars? BVS to JL is some kind of record I'm sure.

I'm still thinking it does something around $85M+. We just saw a movie open with $180M+ and the very following week we're looking at another open to at least $135M+.

I might have confidence that RTH might have higher numbers tomorrow. Usually happens with most blockbusters recently.

It didn't happen with DP2 or Solo  - both went down

Agreed. WOM was so bad it coudnt even beat Titanic.

 

Pathetic, really.
