Ralph fell behind Coco this weekend. This pleases me.

I guess Spidey can do 400m WW ?

Soon we will have one Spidey movie a year.

Yay ?

Hollywood's faith in the Game of Thrones cast has been so richly rewarded.

Conjuring 3?

No unfortunately he had to pass the baton because of his schedule. He’s producing but Michael Chaves the Director of The Curse of La Llorana (James Wan is also producing that one) will direct.

James Wan is having such a great and unique career path.

My kind of guy.

Do we know what is his next movie as director ?

Hope he can find time to do Conjuring 3.

He passed it on it to Michael Chaves

Yeah, that number will definitely go up. My guess is that they’re projecting a sizeable Sunday drop.

 

They're projecting a -18% drop on Sunday. But according to the estimates, it supposedly dropped 10% on Saturday.

Yeah, makes more sense of the estimate.

This is a very exciting Holiday weekend and I'm hoping to see films continue to have the holds they're having next week, when people are still off from school and work, and only one direct-to-wide release is coming out (that being Escape Room).

 

It's sad to see Bumblebee have a percentage drop when many of the films around it are having percentage increases, but that's a small enough drop as to where I'm remaining optimistic about the film. I want the film to do as well as it can, and I think there are a lot of children that deserve a film like the film Bumblebee managed to be. I did say that next weekend continues the elongation of the holiday timeframe, so I hope the film will be able to have good word-of-mouth.

 

But to see Mary Poppins, Spider-Verse, The Mule, Second Act, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Mary Queen of Scots, The Favourite, Bohemian Rhapsody, Green Book, Creed II, Crimes of Grindelwald, Instant Family, Ben is Back, and A Star is Born all manage a percentagr increase is an exciting sight to see, even if all of those movies are holding for different reasons.

 

I dunno why Aquaman had a percentage drop, but it almost doesn't matter with how well the film has been doing. No chance the film is anything less than a financial success from this point on.

 

And GO BEALE STREET! Very encouraging increase! I really want the film to be an Oscar season breakout! I really do want that! I dunno how likely it is but I'm on the verge of beginning to pray for its success!

 

And I'm not sure about Stan & Ollie and Destroyer's platform openings. I think they're average? Not too glaring but not too concerning? Now that I think about it, I think Destroyer should declare and ramp up towards a wide January release. It seems like a film that'd have a solid January wide release debut, one similar to something like 12 Strong and Den of Thieves from last year. I know they were trying to get Kidman an Oscar nomination but the film would've still benefited from a wide January release... Plus, that would've ramped up Kidman's supporting actress chances (maybe).

Officially not a bomb. Could finish around $100M-110M domestically.

Now for a sequel, it is all about China.

[narniadis]

The Saturday numbers are wack across the board. Several with larger than would be expected increases and several (mainly family oriented films) with decreases that are odd when compared to 2012 and 2007. 🤷‍♂️

Friday openers last weekend. And AQM was triple BB last weekend, so harsher drop than it.

Without counting China the OS numbers of Bohemian will be bigger than Aquaman's ones.. No words. 

So ?BR OS numbers are fucking insane.They would actually  put in shame a lot of blockbusters in general.That doesn’t make Aquaman numbers less impressive.

Christ, man. THIS is what people mean when they talk about over-sensitivity from fanboys. It wasn't a disparaging remark towards AQM, it was to point out just how huge BR is! AQM is the biggest WW movie out atm, and a billion dollar contender. They used it as an example to illustrate just how big BR is!
