MovieMan89 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Solo is unbelievably lucky to have yet another weekend of no direct competitors DOM. This could have been an absolute bloodbath for its legs if studios had actually scheduled stuff these first two weeks of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How have the studios not realized yet what a bad colab/combo Melissa and her husband makes with their movies?! I would imagine they are fully aware, but why say no to their proposition as long as they make money ? I imagine they are not studio pitches, and them wanting to work together.

Solo was supposed to be a very high profile blockbuster film and part of one of the biggest franchises in the world. Nobody expected this to bomb, you have to invest money to earn money. A 90 million solo would barely look better than a TV movie. You win some, you loose some. Oh and solo is not making “that much money” , for 2018 standards , anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Really nice drops all around. DP2 with a sexy 60% drop BC kicking all kinds of derriere I saw Adrift for the second time today. Sold out the first show of the day. Mostly people my age. Tears from many of them. I asked a younger kid who is sitting next to me, he was 17, if you liked it and he said yes it was very well done. Then I asked an older couple sitting in front of me if they liked it and the woman shook her head and said no not really but her husband said yes he thought it was fantastic. So I have no idea what that all means LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxmatrixdt Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 hmm... Solo - 3 + 3.5 + 3 + 2.5 = 12 for weekdays, essentially 4.0 times Monday #. Thursday previews should cut everything down -10%. for this particular week, I am finding 4.0 x Monday looking pretty close + or - 10% for all the movies. Except maybe Show Dogs. I thought that would go down -70%. Maybe it will course correct itself and dip down Tues + Weds and only get a 3.0 weekdays multiplier from Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got divorced a few years ago and still live in a basement apartment because of the astronomical cost of housing in Toronto. I am the caretaker for one of my parents. Does that mean I'm living with my parents or are they living with me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Jumanji 2 and other similar movies with a 90m budget looked pretty enough for the big screen, and out of the 100 movies released this year only 4 made more than Solo and only 7 others crossed 100m domestically. So, agree to disagree *shrugs*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioning all the movies released at the theaters is a weird argument , to say the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dxmatrixdt Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Book Club is popping up on the East Coast for fandango pulse suggesting theaters are opening at 8am on a Wednesday morning. I'm guessing with the beginning of summer, theaters are likely to open earlier. I don't see why Book Club would be popping up so much otherwise. The summer solstice is Thursday, June 21st and A Wrinkle in Time could be going -33% from Sundays to Mondays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
