People wouldn't say anything about critics if some here didn't take their words as gospel. That's the reason it's brought up.  Don't act like it doesn't happen every time a movie goes under 60% on RT the same people come in going "I knew it would suck!" and "Oh no I wanted it to be good!" 

 

So give it a rest.

Are you sure you're not the guy behind Gotti's marketing campaign?

Bohemian Rhapsody is a real shot in the arm for Fox breaking their lull they've had for a few months. Nutcracker flopped for Disney although I think it'll do better OS compared to AWIT.

 

ASIB continues to be a huge hit for WB, I imagine by the end of its run, it'll have $360-400m WW which is huge considering its budget. Smallfoot is chugging along nicely although next week it's going to be hit hard by The Grinch but should still hit $80-85m domestically and $200m WW which while not amazing, will be seen as a success for WAG.

$5.5m in Italy

 

That's a crazy big number- it makes it already the 20th biggest film of 2018 there.

Does The Nutcracker have any significant in Italy?

Looks like the critics were wrong again.  (I don't care if you have an issue with me saying that).  Good for BR!! 

Y'know, for a guy who has admitted that they "don't care about critics," you seem to be a guy who is rather giddy and excited when a movie that critics didn't like (even though its RT is at 60%). Seems to me you're a guy who has an interest and cares about what critics have to say. Sad!

Great for BR, obviously.

 

Amazing WOM for ASiB and Venom!

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY FORECAST:

 

Remainder of this week: 19.5M (69.5M Total)

Nov 9: 30.7M (11.8M weekdays, 112M Total)

Nov 16: 18.9M (11.4M weekdays, 132.3M Total)

Nov 23: 15.9M (4.5M weekdays, 152.7M Total)

Nov 30: 8.8M (3.8M weekdays, 165.3M Total)

Dec 7: 7.4M (3.3M weekdays, 176M Total)

Dec 14: 5.5M (3.2M weekdays, 184.7M Total)

Dec 21: 3.1M (3.4M weekdays, 191.2M Total)

Dec 28: 3M (2M weekdays, 196.2M Total)

Jan 5: 1.7M (500k weekdays, 198.4M Total)

Jan 12: 700k (200k weekdays, 199.3M Total)

FINAL TOTAL: 202M

 

There's a chance this could still be in the top 5 come Thanksgiving. The high end on Widows and Instant Family's tracking is 18M, and Robin Hood and Green Book are not making more than 12-13M for their 3 days based on tracking (the latter isn't even hitting double digits for the 5 day). It should remain in over 1k theaters during Christmas despite most midsize and smaller theaters dropping it, and should Fox need a fudge, Malek's potential nomination is their excuse. The show WILL go on.

That moment when you realize that, as poorly as Nutcracker is doing, it still made nearly as much in its first day as the combined totals of the last five Nutcracker movies.

Combined total: $5,888,165

I can see Disney PR spinning this...

 

Highest-grossing Nutcracker movie ever!

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 question may be whether it can be top 25 WW. Aside from the movies you listed, the list doesn't even include all films that's already outgrossed Solo this year, it doesn't include Dying to Survive, for example, which grossed more in China alone than Solo did worldwide, a few more dark horses and Solo might end up outside top 25😂

 

Maybe A star is born has a chance of outgrossing it as well when all is done.
