Agreed. Not sure it was even profitable but it made more nominally in revenue. Rampage at least made a tiny profit imo

Yeah someone corrected me. Should have said most successful because budget is 40 million lower

Detective Pikachu's opening is fine, even if it went below my expectations also (I predicted $73M). Those crazy pills $100M+ predictions were never gonna happen.

 

The Hustle getting a B- CS grade is terrible news for a mainstream comedy.

I don’t think it’s “terrible news”. Not great but not terrible. 

 

Other Mother’s Day openers: Life of the Party and Snatched got a B. Hot Pursuit got a C+, also opened with $13.9m and ended with $35m.

 

That doesn’t seem too bad of a result considering the reviews and distributor.

C'mon Disney 💪

Everyone can hate you but it all doesn't matter when you keep churning all those successful installment and bringing them to break the billies.

Such a bummer how Disney, who only makes one type of film, is taking over the box office and people are cheering that on as if it is a good thing. Both are evil corporations but I like that WB has variety. It sucks seeing them have a so-so to bad in the case of The Lego Movie, time this year so far. 

I don’t get how anyone can root for a studio, especially the one that is about to monopolize the game. I get you like the movies but I don’t get the loyalty and rooting for other studios to die. I mean I like the majority of Disney’s films barring the live action remakes but their company is straight evil. (INB4 the Disney stans tell me there’s other worse companies and I’m just hating on Disney).

I support all multi billion dollar conglomerates equally. 

[Minnale101]

Disney is the apple, Starbucks and McDonald’s of movies.

 

Cool they make the most. But it really means less in retrospective

Same. Stanning movies in general is always the right approach.

Yep. To use Cinemascore you have to understand Cinemascore. Even a B+ could be considered a disaster.

 

An A- Isn’t great.

Such a strange metric too. Different genres play so much differently in regards to what's a good CS. Especially horror.

Disney is the underdog here, creating great indie dramas like Avengers: Endgame and Aladdin.  Truly what's saving cinema in a world that's surrounded by A24, Neon and IFC dominating the market

[cdsacken]

So 15 natural Friday for DP. 

Not impossible to see 20.7/22.5/17.5

[keysersoze123]

Hah, it broked out early estimate numbers. But its amazing how early Deadline got the number of PIkachu. As I said yesterday OD numbers are predictable early on unless they are uber breakouts.
