A script for the sequel has reportedly been ordered, it is a good sign but doesn't necessarily mean S2 has been greenlit.

You are not serious right. Shazam is already a hit in its 2nd weekend at the Boxoffice and will absolutely get a sequel. I can even see in the sequel they will introduce Black Adam so he will already be known in his own movie. Kind of like Black Panther and Spider-Man in CA:Civil War.

@MCKillswitch123 number 1 place pretty much official here in Portugal. Europe is going bonkers for this.

 

 

rewatching Every Day, based off teen novel, and in the spirit of After premiering I thought it would be a good Europe/Portugal candidate to review:

… even 2008 doesn't have an R-rated comedy in the standings until #14, what happened?

It's a good thing that Laika is backed by Travis and Phil Knight as any other studio would have packed in it already. At least Aardman has commercials and TV to supplement the movies. 

 

It's such a pity though. Some of those movies are wonderful and they deserve to be seen more - and not in a snotty "watch this thing that will bore you just because critics say it's great" way, the movies are very enjoyable and emotional, but for some reason they just don't catch on. I guess stop-motion just doesn't appeal to the GA, can't really chalk it all to poor distribution/marketing. 

Kubo is one of my favorite animated movies ever.

Agree with this. LOVED Kubo and the Two Strings.

Kubo is one one the most touching movies ever! 

So, so beautiful. 

[cdsacken]

That's annoying. Hopefully adjusted up for both.

Still think Coraline is Laika's best work after all these years but Kubo is awesome too. Also loved Kubo's rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

Not sure about that since Little and CM stayed the same with the Sunday estimates. WB went aggressive with the Sunday drop.

Perhaps they overestimated because rest of them are par estimates. Considering last weekend it dropped 30.5%, 33% drop is almost given. So basically 1-2% impact.

More to do with the fact that family films have larger Sunday drops than films normally do.

They did. Predicted a tiny drop after a massive Saturday. Made little sense. Vs CM they predicted a 34.3% drop

I highly doubt Game of Thrones is affecting anything since it's already airing at a time when movies are dying down anyway (Sunday night = Friday afternoons and every other day of the work week).

25.14 (-53%) =>24.5 (-54%)

 

Would have been a good drop had it opened 65-70. But expected it to be more backloaded. This is not much different than CM's 56% drop after 153 ow with Shazam apparently being much better received. 😓
