I think I have made my viewpoint of MI Fallout pretty clear. I think it ends up being #5 for summer. And the biggest MI movie OS as well thanks to the 3D upcharges.

If we count first weekend of May as Summer then #5 requires beating Solo or AM&TW, that'd mean a decent increase from Rogue Nation in 2015.

Looking back, here's how the Mission Impossible trailer has been received at my shows:

 

Black Panther: No reacitons (about 100 people in IMAX)

Annihilation: Murmurs (5 other people)

A Quiet Place: No reactions (only 4 other people)

Infinity War: No reactions (about 300 people in IMAX)

Ready Player One: No reactions (only 2 other people)

Breaking In: No reactions outside of two teen girls getting shushed for talking too loud (15 other people)

Upgrade: No reactions (8-10 other people)

Hereditary 1: No reactions (5 other people before the parents with the one year old walked in)

Hereditary 2: No reactions (10 other people)

 

It's only gotten any reactions ONCE out of nine times. A few of these crowds were small, but the rest had enough for there to be a good chance at reactions. I don't think the hype is there among the GA.

Good number for Jurassic, all things considered. It should be on track for around $145-150 million for the weekend, depending upon how much it increases from the true Friday figure today.

 

I'm just a little disappointed that Incredibles 2 didn't go a bit higher, but it's up against heavier competition than any previous Pixar film has faced in its second weekend and it's still on track to comfortably unseat Finding Dory for their top second weekend gross to date.

It’s...not a reaction based trailer?

I'm totally going to make my predictions based on audience reactions from a stranger's recollection. That would be a really smart thing to do. I'm going to predict based on actual factors and be right or wrong based on those factors.

People react to trailers after they're done all the time. MI isn't reaction based during the trailer (outside of a joke in the second one), but shouldn't people be talking afterwards to express interest? idk

Hey, I'm just saying the trailer rarely gets reactions at my shows. There's other reasons I'm not going too high on the movie, mainly because I don't see any reason for it to have a gigantic increase over Rogue Nation.

People don't react to trailers at my theaters. I never use reactions like that to make predictions. I've said it before but I don't get this trailer reaction metric that people use. It makes no sense to me. You have no idea what people's reactions were one way or the other.

Don't worry, Han will make sure we know what the RT audience rating says throughout OW for Fallout.

I mean I don't have Venom doing it, it's just the only other movie I can see breaking out like that. For now have it in mid-60s.

I don't see the hook with Fallout this time like the last two and I think younger people I've talked to especially (outside here) are lukewarm on the franchise/Cruise at this point. Plus I doubt the reception is at the level of the last two. Anything above 60 would definitely impress me.

This. Outside of Cruise piloting a helicopter, there's really no hook to this. The plot doesn't stand out enough from other movies in the series.

The last one was coming off the hot franchise restarter, had the "rogue nation of spies" hook, and the fucking hanging off the plane. The one before was a big comeback movie and had the Burj Khalifa thing, which was amazing. This appears to have no plot and no discernible hook outside of....Henry Cavill? I'd love to hear one, if someone has another answer. That's no big stunt in the trailers, and no clear plot, and no narrative like the last two either.

You didn't hear it from me but I see some Tom Cruise Kool-Aid passed around this website occasionally. Must be scientology-flavored...

I mean shit, this is the official synopsis:

 

Quote

Ethan Hunt and his IMF team, along with some familiar allies, race against time after a mission gone wrong.

 

[nevermore]

Honestly Henry Cavill cocking his fists sold me on the movie. Pretty much paying for that scene.

[Mekanos]

But seriously, Tom Cruise - and MI - doesn't appeal to under-20s. OS is a crapshoot but domestically I don't see much more than 200M.
