Wait, so you guys are saying that film makers consult with each other?  What a shocking revelation.

 

Of course Wan asked for some input from Snyder.  Why wouldn't he?  Only us nerds think there is some kind of rivalry between different film makers or that a director's vision is solely their own.  Wan of course is the brains behind AQM but him asking for advice isn't shocking.  Here's just a few examples of big name directors consulting with each other.

 

Scorsese said Spielberg visited the set of Departed and gave him some advice on one of the scenes.  He essentially ended up directing one scene in the movie.

Cameron also gave Bay advice on Transformers , helping him direct the base jumping scene.

Lucas has similar stories with Spielberg and certain scenes in Star Wars. 

Bill Paxton was having trouble with a few scenes in Frailty and Cameron, while visiting him on set, helped him through the difficulties.

Sean S. Cunningham helped out Wes Craven on Nightmare on Elm Street when they were behind schedule.   

 

These are the only ones off the top of my head.  But I know there are dozens of examples where directors seek the help of other directors.

Looks like DP 2 might out-gross Mission Impossible Fallout thanks to a re-release + China 😕

Pretty good opening for a film that has been available online for so long. It will only have one week to make money though before being completely killed by the plethora of new local releases on Chinese New Year.

I agree that it's not anything new but Snyder fans talk as if it is. I'm sure David Ayer consulted Snyder as well and that is virtually never brought up.

Correct. Also the reason why Fox spend money doing this version

Call it A Chinese test run

[baumer]

Well, I know it's the pg-13 version....but still, that's progress.  Might even break 800 million now.

Aquaman is good.

Suicide Squad and Thor:Dark World were unfunny trash...

Glass’ Currently Looking At Second-Best MLK Weekend Opening With $48M+

Upside with a fantastic 18.4m 4-day (-10% from ow FSS) according to new projections. Earlier they said 13-14m.

 

Are saying 306 by Mon for AQM which gives 12m 4-day (-31% from FSS), up from 10-11m previous projection. Am mildly optimistic that AQM will increase to 13m in the end.

 

Spider-verse 4-day increases a bit from last weekend's FSS. Should sail past 180m dom.

 

If Poppins can add 2x it's 4-day to the cume will get to TGS.

So happy that I lowered my Glass prediction from 59 3 day to 40.5mil.

 

The Upside continues to do quite well. 

 

Can't wait until Aquaman passes that magical 300mil mark. 

 

Spidey is a leggy monster. 

 

[SchumacherFTW]

Pretty good Friday for Broly all things considered. 

[Legion Again]

MLK 4-day multis tend to be 2.3-3.7ish for December holdovers still making 4M+ or so, which would yield:  
AQM 320-338  
SMSV 172-186     
MPR  168-178  
BB 123-131   

 

 

Off these estimated. In theory that means AQM vs BvS, MPR vs TGS, and BB vs The Last Knight are all somewhat open questions still (though very tough for Bee). Spiderverse will take the Sony Pictures animation crown even adjusted.

95 dom and 120 OS (sans China) gives Glass 52 + 48 = 100 global theatrical return.

For a low mid 20s prod budget (probably due to back-end deals) that sounds great as a layman.

 

@Barnack can you estimate how much profit the movie can make for participants using conservative numbers?

[Krissykins]

Under $50m 4 day is a bit underwhelming for Glass. Deadline say Universal were expecting at least $50m. 

 

Industry tracking was $60-70m just two days ago.
