"if it was different it'd be different". great insight. thanks.

If you take the same story and have to fit it into a 2 hour movie format it wouldn't be as well received because the way these stories are presented on TV in comparison to the movies, you have a different perspective of the story. I don't know if I make myself clear but you get the idea. I think this story wouldn't work as a movie.

 

Speaking of this, I just finished Homecoming the Amazon series with Julia Roberts and while I really liked it I think it would work even better as a 2 hour film.

The song went to #2 on the Hot 100 in 1992 thanks to Wayne’s World. That was an event.

I wish certain people on here would stop saying that the "critics were wrong" whenever a film with mixed or bad reviews over performs. Critics aren't wrong or right. They give their opinions and either people agree or they don't. Anyway, nice to see the box office constantly exhibiting life. Nice to see some non-comic book movies succeed. I adore the genre but I don't want it to 100% take over.

A movie or piece of art can also be mixed from an artistic point of view but still be a crowd pleaser.  Just look at the majority of the top 40 music, much of it isn’t great or unique art, but people eat it up from a consumer standpoint.

I hope Solo falls out of the worldwide top 20 by the end of the year. No, wait, correction... it WILL fall out of the worldwide top 20 by the end of the year, as Grinch, Beasts, Ralph, Aquaman and Poppins will all beat it. The ultimate humilliation for those who don't think Lucasfilm's plans need a bit of a shakeup at the moment.

 

Btw, Hotel Transylvania 3...... low-key great performer. Summer helped, I know, but it still outperformed the last two movies in every front.

People here expected (and wished) worse than a generic comic book run, so, in a way, it's a positive surprise run.

Over 50 million on OW for Bohemian Rhapsody. Wow. Stunning result, and it's gonna continue to play strongly throughout the entirety of November.... it'll only stall a bit when Mary Poppins hits, but even then it might still do strong business (look at A Star Is Born's hold this weekend).

 

Has anyone noticed that the 1st weekend of November is kind of a prime opening spot? Thor: Ragnarok, Doctor Strange, Spectre, Big Hero 6, Interstellar, Wreck-It Ralph, now Bohemian Rhapsody..... even secondary fiddle like Trolls and The Peanuts Movie opened strong in this weekend. It's a big, big movie frame and it surprises me that this year it was left to two movies like BR and Nutcracker, but BR is absolutely crushing it and Fox is probably breathing a huge sigh of relief at this point, given how tough their 2018 has been.

You're only now realizing the potential of that weekend? Outside of like one or two whiffs here and there, it's been a good weekend for an opener for as long as I can remember.

Yeah, the first weekend of November has been a hot spot to open a movie since Charlie's Angels in 2000 (as well as The Waterboy two years prior to that).

....more or less. I mean, there's always been big movies opening on the weekend, but I didn't realize that it really was that much of a prime spot for studios. One could say that all of November's 1st four weekends are prime spots at this point, when we think about it (the 2nd one has, at least more often than not, the Veterans Day boost; and a ton of big tentpoles have been opening in the 3rd one for the last couple of years now).

Also The Mule if that does well next month. I would say Glass, but we all know that it's considered a tentpole even if the budget is sub-30M or something. 

I have a good feeling about The Mule, even though it's in a packed December. 

 

I'll be curious to what musical biopics the studios will looking at, I reckon Sony will try and fasttrack Beautiful, Universal were developing a Broadway musical based on The Bee Gees but I wonder they might turn that into a film.
