Amazing hold, it has to be one of the best for a superhero movie.

2nd best for a super hero movie.

Exzellent hold, but the numbers overall are also very small.

Bumblebee vs Last Knight domestic will be very close. Will come down to theater retention in the end. Paramount should be able to push it over TLK in the end I think.

Watch out now. I was damn near crucified for pointing this out yesterday.

Should have got out of the crowded holiday season and gone into the empty January. Might have made it to 20M.

That won’t stop studios from spending $80 million on a fucking movie about Dick Cheney, though. 

The only ones who were crazy enough to do that were Annapurna (who almost certainly is approaching bankruptcy soon anyway).

It's too bad Green Book couldn't have had a more prominent and more appealing marketing campaign. The legs have been fantastic, it just started with too little to really catch on.

Don't know if it'll hit a billion, but I'm very happy for Aquaman's success so far.

It’s gonna get a second chance in January now that the Christmas rush is out of the way and awards season will be in full swing soon.

Because Universal were so concern about the historical success of mortal engines, and the amazing staying power of the Grinch that could legs to 300m. 

 

Neither of those goals materialize.......

 

They should quickly shift back the attention to GB.....

A marketing push by Universal and re-expansion would be nice. I really do feel like it has the potential to reach a larger audience. January's slate of films is also extremely unappealing looking barring Glass.

If Annapurna goes bankrupt, that'll hurt MGM because Annapurna acts as their distributor.

MGM has been releasing movies on their own recently again (Creed II, in particular) and have been doing just fine. I’m sure they’ll survive.

Note to studios: next time you think about spending $200 million on another fantasy film just make 10 JLo rom coms instead
