It looks like the official critic quote for the ads is

 

”One of the most original comic book movies”

I won't be around for that but I will still support John Cena with all my heart.

John Cena is watching you and is disappointed that you won't be around for his cinematic event.

Got to see Venom last night. Not as bad as the critics are saying Imo. It’s a B/B- movie for me. Tom Hardy was hilarious. I thought they got the Venom character from the Comics pretty good. Much better then in Spider-Man 3. I’m excited for a sequel if Sony does one.

not looking good for 60 with Star is Born.  

probably looking at 50 max on the weekend

46.8 + 3.2 + 1.35 = 50.0/51.35

WOW. Well that's WAY higher than $7m hahah. That's better than X-men Apocalypse's $9.8m, though that didn't start at 5pm I guess

60M back on the table?

 

[MrPink]

My instinctive reaction is that this puts 70m in play?

$80M+ is happening based on those previews 

 

Deadline with their shitty early estimates on CBM striking again lmfao 

[boxofficeth]

First time ever for 2 films to open north of 50M on the same weekend coming?

Saw A Star is Born and it's great. Cooper is good, but Gaga absolutely stole the show. I was quite impressed with her performance, and wouldn't mind if she won best actress. Splendid work. Glad to see it doing well, too.

Loved the first hour or so.

 

Hated the rest.

The world is Venom.

[filmlover]

Venom will do $70M+ and A Star is Born will do $45M+ in all likelihood. Box office is officially exciting again.
