The fourth and fifth FB movies are hanging in the balance. 

Good thing they dated only three of these movies cause I'm getting a strong sense the next one will definitely be the last.

Jesus, the over reactions in this thread are ridiculous. There isn’t anything to suggest that this can’t still do 70m OW and 200m DOM. We have 1 preview number which is right around the same ballpark as the first and people are freaking out. Also we have opening day numbers from numerous overseas markets where numbers are up quite a bit. And the bad reviews? As someone whose actually seen then film it was a huge improvement over the first film. Definitely a film made exclusively for the fans though - which explains critics panning it. As a HP fan I couldn’t be happier. Worldwide this will probably come in higher and I can assure you there is a lot more positive word of mouth coming from this film then what this forum would suggest.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Warner Bros thought not to make the same mistake they made with the DC films and just date up to 2020 for the Fantastic Beasts film

 

im fully expecting there will be creative changes for the next film, I wouldn’t be shocked if they delay it to 2021 as well,

I know we've joked about it before, but it's unbelievable that studios have successfully extended the OW to include showtimes on Tuesday.

well, when your tentpole is gonna have a turkey OW, you do what you gotta do to inflate it. 

 

Venom didn't need such tricks.

Runtimes w/out credits and attachments for next week:

 

Ralph Breaks the Internet: 1:40. Dumbo and both Toy Story 4 trailers are attachments (don't know if that means both trailers or the theater decides which one to play.) There's also a Thank You attached as well.

Robin Hood: 1:44. Cold Pursuit and Five Feet Apart are attachments.

Creed 2: 2:02. If Beale Street Could Talk, Vice, and The Prodigy are attachments.

 

Surprised neither Hellboy and especially Chaos Walking aren't getting attached with Robin Hood.

Agreed. But over reactions are one of the hallmarks of this forum. Funny to read them all

Thinking both are getting delayed.

I'm pretty sure Chaos Walking is getting pushed back with how quiet things have been around it. Maybe to August in hopes of riding on that Avengers/Spider-Man train.

It's cute how WB lifted the embargo early on FB2...

Tom and Daisy did reshoots in Montreal end of October, beginning of November.  For 2-3 weeks. But nothing can save that turd.

Us also seems like a movie that should have a trailer already. Get Out had its first trailer 4 months before the movie came out. Us will be out in 4 months, and we've got nothing. Of course, it's not really a movie that needs a trailer so far out, but still.

My guess is that it'll be attached to one of the two December Universal releases (Mortal Engines, Welcome to Marwen).

Doug Liman strikes again. He's so inconsistent.

I’d wait until the Friday numbers come in to try and get an idea of how this weekend will play out. I’m really not sure what the hell the point of Tuesday sneaks are anyways and the fact that they get added into weekends is kinda insane imo but I don’t see how the Tuesday sneaks being as high as they are indicates anything about what the weekend is gonna be like. I mean those who saw it on Tuesday would have seen it on Thursday anyways. I suppose one would could argue that a super super fan saw it on Tuesday and then saw it again on Thursday thus Thursday’s number should be a certain percentage BUT I don’t think the double viewers between Tuesday and Thursday are all that high. 

 

As for Widows and Instant Family: yikes.

they're working on a tighter schedule with Us for sure. Get Out wrapped filming March 2016 and Us wrapped filming last month. i'm sure we'll see a trailer with uhh... glass?

Don´t understand very much.. but shouldn´t we consider that the majority of people who see the movies on Thurday are big fans, and if in this case a lot of them saw it on Tuesday, they didn´t watch it yesterday?

There isn’t even a poster for that movie. I’d be very very very shocked if that film wasn’t moved at this point. I’d just move it to sometime in 2020 at this point cause 2019 is just one big cluster fuck
