lmao wtf is with that Mary Poppins drop? Weekday numbers weren't good, but that's just embarrasing.

It is sign of total rejection, and they have 3 more to come in the next 6 months.

Fucking horrible drops for Poppins and Bumblebee. Just... Jesus.

[filmlover]

I’d like to think that A Dog’s Way Home put a dent in Mary Poppins and Bumblebee but that movie’s numbers are already soft to begin with. So dunno.

[Valonqar]

Poppins lost more theaters than other big holiday movies. 

 

Very happy that Spidey is finally above both MPR and BB for the weekend. Please stay that way! 🙏

 

BR is locked for 200M now, no?

Is today the day?

 

[YM!]

The fuck happened to Poppins and Bumblebee? Those are some fugly drops. Aquaman and that -50% is also surprising.

[YM!]

Is it wrong that I can see a slight Lego 2 breakout, not necessarily $200M but like Lego Batman numbers. There hasn’t been a big animated movie since Spidey and both Poppins and Bumblebee haven’t wowed families.

What do you mean by this? 3 more what?

 

Because if this is an insinuation that MPR doing tepid box office means that Lion King isn't going to make a fortune then I'm not sure how to respond to that.

 

And I say this as someone who really, really wishes Lion King wasn't going to make a fortune.

If I remember correctly, Bumblebee shifted quite significantly from its estimate last weekend. I may be wrong, though. Seems a bit on the low side and would be surprised it if doesn't finish above OTBOS.

Dumbo , Aladdin, the lion king, too much of live action remake and fatigue will strike anytime.

 

Live-action remake isn't as resilient as superhero film.

The holidays are over so the movies that people are seeing mainly because they have some extra time to watch a movie and wouldn’t have gone otherwise will now drop hard

I agree about the resiliency. But I'm not sure MPR goes in the bag as a "live action remake". It's a sequel, and a sequel from a film so old there wasn't really any box office format to go on. So I don't think it provides a template for the other three to that much of an extent. I think at present these remakes are going to be taken very much as their own individual beasts.

 

I really don't like the live action remakes, but I think realistically if something as horrendously made as BATB made a huge amount, it pretty much establishes a floor for the Lion King, which is an even more beloved movie from the same time period. I can't honestly see TLK not ending up in the highest 20 grossers of all time, and probably top 10. I wish that weren't the case, but I just can't see any other eventuality.  

 

Aladdin I think could go in a lot of different directions. It's certainly the one that might actively receive the strongest backlash, and might legit flop.

 

Dumbo I think is something of a different kettle of fish. It's going to be less close to the original than the above two and time means that there's much less of a nostalgia factor. I think this will be one where the reviews and immediate reception will actually make a difference.

I am curious why you think that? It’s actually the only one out of the three mentioned that I want to watch.

Don't get my hopes up for another great movie in the LEGO verse that disappoints. I remember thinking $300m dom was in the cards for LEGO Batman... and, uhhh..

[TMP]

Dumbo seems good for O/U $200m dom, Simba will be the King of 2019's box office, but Aladdin's gonna get shit-faced. $125m dom total?
