Variety’s cover story with Chris Hemsworth.

 

Ghostbusters (2016) is one of his favourite roles  He also credits it with making audiences more accepting of a sillier version of Thor (agreed). 

 

I’m glad it’s one of his favourites. 

 

Very candid interview in relation to his rotten efforts (Huntsman, Blackhat). Nice to see an actor being so frank.

“There’s a mentor element with Downey,” Hemsworth says. “There’s an incredible friendship with Scarlett and [Jeremy] Renner and [Mark] Ruffalo. With Chris Evans, I have a real brotherly bond. I think they wouldn’t pair us up on this press tour, because we just spend the whole time screwing around and none of it is on topic.”

Asked about this later, Evans laughs and confirms it’s true. “Which is such bulls—!” he says. “We had too much fun together, and truly like kids in school, we were separated because we weren’t getting s— done.” (Evans has an idea for a movie they could make together: “I would love to do one of those ’80s buddy comedies, where we could shed the characters we are known for.”)

Has Guy Ritchie confirmed for Sherlock 3?

It’s literally rotten with top critics and all critics. Score below 6.

yeah rotten is not bad. 58% of critics liked it. bad critical reception would be like less than 40%. 

 

to treat movies simply as rotten or fresh without looking at the actual approval rating and and what the critics are saying is too much of an extreme. 

 

Alita and Aquaman RT % was 60% and 65% respectively which is slightly higher than Aladdin yet people called their overall critical reception decent instead of straight up bad or biased.

If Aladdin gross $300mn, that will be 3.46x of FSM (ignoring holiday Sunday) of $86.6mn.

 

The Jungle Book had 3.52x of its normal weekend. If Aladdin manage same, it will be at $305mn.

Thanks to The Losers’ tag, I have always wanted a movie where they are rival coaches for their kids/girls’ junior soccer teams.

If Hemsworth can turn the fourth Men In Black into another hit, he will cement his status as one of the most bankable movie stars in the world.

Jungle book had a amazing 40% drop for 2nd weekend 

 

if aladdin does that. 

 

Godzilla fw and Aladdin 2nd weekend will be super close

[stripe]

Still too early to call 300M DOM for Aladdin, IMHO

 

Only two Memorial Day movies passed that mark, both had better openings and solid legs

 

1	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End	BV	$139,802,190	45.2%	4,362	$32,050	$309,420,425	5/25/07

3	X-Men: The Last Stand	Fox	$122,861,157	52.4%	3,690	$33,295	$234,362,462	5/26/06

South Korea, Brazil, uk and japan seems be the countries with last legs for endgame 

 

everywhere else it seems a bit dried up

Short answer: No

 

Long answer: No, not without a re-release or some miraculous late legs in North America.

I think Aladdin can break the MD big second weekend drop trend. We have never had a big MD opener that audiences truly loved, so we're in new territory.

I think that the answer to this relies on how strong the OS legs can be this point forward. It faced Aladdin this weekend OS and it still managed to come out above Infinity War, if the estimates hold. 

 

If Endgame can still keep this pace ahead of IW in OS-C, it will manage to top Avatar without a re-release. If it doesn’t, then it will need a re-release. I think people are overestimating the effect that competition will have for Endgame. It’s heading to Weekend 6, if it still manages to keep over IW OS-C and around the same in Dom, it will end up topping Avatar.

Yep. If the CS and RT audience scores didn't already prove it, then the unprecedented Sunday and Monday holds for this weekend sure did.

I would remove the UK from the list. It’s had horrific weekend drops here and it made £1.2m over the holiday weekend.

I’d say so. WOM seems exceptionally high everywhere you look (across the world), and the holds indicate its bearing out at the box office. 

 

I think Tuesday will be over $12m
