Weds. midday update: Ralph Breaks the Internet in early Wednesday figures is eyeing an estimated $18M today, including last night’s $3.8M. That’s higher than the Wednesday Thanksgiving eve debuts of Moana ($15.5M) and Coco ($13.1M). Those films respectively soared to $82M and $72.9M over the Thanksgiving five-day and the thinking is that the Wreck-It Ralph sequel is poised to clock $94M.

MGM/New Line’s Creed II is spotting $11M today, including last night’s $3.7M, for a five day of $59M.

Lionsgate’s Robin Hood is projected to file between $3M and $3.5M today including previews, on track for a $16M-$18M opening from Wednesday to Sunday.

MORE….

Venom2 and Spider-verse2

Guessing Venom sticks to Oct and Spider-verse shuffles between Holidays to Summer like studios did with Potter, Twilight, Incredibles, Nemo-Dory, Toy Story, etc.

When is the Morbius release date? Or is that not confirmed? 

 

IMO though make a good Venom 2 instead of a slew of mediocre spin-offs 

[MrGlass2]

Wow... Robin Hood!

PS - Feeling good about my $90M+ call early on this thread:)...

Amazing for Ralph. Hope Creed goes up to 12 because that would be sorta frontloaded given Tuesday's number but still amazing. 

 

Robin Hood's doing as well as it can I guess. If it can get to 3.5 for today, I'd say 17 for 5-day should be in store.

once again critics are wrong. RH audience score is way better than RT score.

A CRITIC'S JOB IS NOT TO AFFECT OR REFLECT THE BOX OFFICE OR WHETHER AUDIENCES WILL LIKE A MOVIE OR NOT

Idk, one of the students said he was happy to support a project that had a theme of unity

@Shawn I don't know if somebody did something, but I haven't been able to access text-box to post anything all day (even a support ticket) but now it's fixed! If you had something to do with this, thank you so much  

 

I blame chrome's update entirely for this problem

I think Valonquar was joking, 55% score when you were seen by only your most enthusiast audience on a website filled with the movie perfect audience is quite bad.

 

Has for Robin Hood box office even the best leggy movies can have -46% type of drop the weekend after thanksgiving (say a Coco or Wonder), that could easily drop 55-60% next weekend even from that ultra low start...

He's been on moronic anti-critic tirades before, so I doubt it.

Could be right, but even for him that sound like a stretch.

I was. The movie has, like, 17% critical approval so 56% Audience approval looks really good in comparison.

Can't have it both ways.  If their job is not to help audiences determine if they will like a movie then their job has no mass appeal and is near pointless

[RichWS]

Just watched Roma at IFC Center. The hype is real. Hail Cuaron. Really fantastic film I can't wait to dive into again. 80% full theater with the next show sold out.

A critic's job is to improve and add to the conversation of cinema, call out and criticize art and the film industry for a multitude of reasons, as well as give a spotlight to the underappreciated artists and films out there. It not only benefits consumers in helping them earn a greater appreciation of the arts, but it also improves the conditions for those marginalized to either see themselves on the screen (why do you think "representation matters" has been an iconic quote lately?), or give more work for said groups.

 

May not seem beneficial to you, but it certainly does to many others.

Im loving Ralphs success. The first one is my personal favourite Disney animated film of the 2010s. Im stoked to see the sequel.

The issue nowadays is that no one is reading critical reviews anymore. It's the RT number, not the average rating either just the number on the page which everything is being boiled down to. RT has accelerated the end of criticism as a serious field.

In case anybody wants to know the plot to “The Trump Prophecy”, The Liberty University movie released in October, here it is.

 

The film is about Mark Taylor, a retired firefighter who hears the voice of God speak to him in 2011 telling him, “Trump will be the next president.”  The man starts a massive prayer circle to help elect Trump, and God makes the 2016 election happen.  

 

Taylor then claims that Trump will win re-election, the midterms will result in a “red tsunami” strengthening GOP control of both houses, Roe v Wade will be overturned, Trump will expose a massive satanic pedophilia ring run by thousands of government officials, Trump will arrest Obama for treason, and he will force pharmaceutical companies to give up the cure for cancer and Alzheimer’s.

 

It’s a wild movie.

 

Dear Christ, I dunno what's worse: that this movie exists at all, that someone actually paid a budget for it to exist, or that someone actively wanted to see it in theaters.

Very brutal. The only weekend which can compare is the post New year's weekend

[75Live]

4 day weekend with nothing to do.  I'll probably do a double feature of Wreck it Ralph 2 and Creed 2 tomorrow
