Spider-Verse should make at least another 20m in the US and probably 15m from current markets? With Japan left, 350m looks to be the o/u.

Over LEGO Batman so should be enough for Sony to continue [since LB2 is in the works at WB Animation]

Even though Poppins isn't a flop, Disney probably didn't clear out their holiday schedule for it just for Poppins to come in third domestic and below 400M WW. And unlike Solo, here the predictions from both people like us and industry analysts were way higher than the end result. It looks like it will finish behind The Greatest Showman domestic as well.

 

Probable reasons?

- Expectations got out of hand forgetting that the brand is more like a Robin Hood or King Arthur where people know of it than are genuinely fans of it

- Lack of a hit song. Last year I had not watched Greatest Showman but I knew at least 2 of it's songs because they got plenty of radio play and were genuine hits, with "This is me" becoming a smash. Currently none of Poppins songs have actually made it into the mainstream media

- Not overly positive reviews. After it got into the AFI top 10 and was in Best Picture conversation for a long time and those leaked reports of standing ovations at exhibitor screenings, the reviews were kind of underwhelming

Where is that Welcome to Marwen drop? It lost almost all of its theaters lmao.

All true, but just wait until Disney puts out the next 'MPR' type film/property with prestige, and guess what people will be suckers again because they just can't help themselves.  I mean, we really had people who were expecting grand-parents to take their families to this film in droves.  I saw it written all over the place.  How delusional can people be in 2019? 

 

300-400 always seemed laughable and I could never understand the fascination on this board for it.

350m is a solid result in the end, mostly thanks to legs kicking in the US and China's relatively big performance. I didn't have much doubt a sequel would get pushed forward as long as it did something like 250m or more.  Too much positive word of mouth to not try at least another go. Still think Sony should stay away from spinoffs however until they can cultivate this series a little more.

Feeling like...

$800m OS

$340m Dom

Just under Civil War worldwide. Maybe Japan can come in with a last minute save? Doubt it tbh

It's already hit it with just the domestic numbers, we should get an official international update shortly within the hour. Will probably be around 1.02B to officially overtake TDK.

Mortal Engines barely managing a 2x multiplier despite opening during the Christmas stretch is an amazing collapse. Definitely has to be one of the if not the lowest holiday multiplier ever.

I'd say it's the first and also the second worst for all movies opening above like 6/7M.

ME: 2.09856

Aeon Flux (12/02/2005): 2.0436

9.0 is a helluva lot better than the 7.3 I saw for Spider-Verse yesterday morning!

[Krissykins]

Just back from seeing The Favourite.

 

Not a fan. Colman was good, but should be in the supporting category.

 

Emma Stone and Rachel shouldn’t be nominated, at all.

It looks like Dragon Ball Super will be third internationally this weekend

To put it all into perspective, he achieved it with:

 

1.) The most mocked superhero in the world

2.) A mocked lead hero

3.) A mocked lead heroine who was also the target of misogynistic attacks by Depp stans

4.) The very first DCEU film after Justice League

I just read that Replicas was actually shot in 2016. Yikes. No wonder they completely dumped it.

As long as the spin-offs are after the sequel, I think ITSV2 will be a breakout sequel and have a strong jump provided a good release date (think 21JS to 22JS).
