I can't believe I'm about to say this but at least the Transformers films had a fucking madman making them. 

 

This is what Disney has wrought. I'm defending Michael Bay

 

To be fair, Disney brought on Guy Ritchie for this one.  Except his style is so subdued that it might as well have been made by literally anyone else so that point becomes moot

I thought Will Smith still had drawing power 😒

I’ll likely be seeing Aladdin over the weekend. For those who have saw it, is it better than the POS Beauty and The Beast?

Its somewhat better. Scott was worth it for the admission alone.

 

I'm still convinced though everyone will forget about Aladdin after a few months like what happened with BATB.

I'm just curious. You say Aladdin 2019 is bad. Have you seen it already? Or are you just salty that it's not the flop that you're hoping it to become.

That’s the one good thing about the remakes in that they can’t rely branch off for sequels. Glad to hear Scott slays because I love me some Naomi Scott.

Good movies >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Aladdin > BATB >>>> Alice in Wonderland.  Comprehensive ranking

[Krissykins]

I don’t think we’ll find out for another few weeks if Aladdin is going to be a hit or not. 

 

The budget is $182m. 

[ThomasNicole]

$ 100M 4-Day locked

 

Let’s see how high can go, but i’m really pleased with the numbers. OS also seems overall really good, confident in my $ 400M OS prediction (don’t let me down Japan).

Of course it will be a hit, even with average legs this should be able to do at least $ 600M, should do 3.3 - 3.6x the budget. 

[That One Girl]

The Intruder is a WORD OF MOUTH HIT, having weekend drops of -33%, -44%, and now only 23% according to Deadline.  Go Dennis Quaid.

[charlie Jatinder]

I wish Aladdin go on to do 92mn+ in FSS with a flat Saturday from 31.4mn Friday. As I have said many times. Saturday have been very good this year. The true Friday to Saturday jump on some recent notable films with % of previews to their relative Friday in bracket.

Dumbo: 38% (17%)

Pika: 35% (28%)

John Wick: 19% (26%)

 

Aladdin will be 22%, its not a big ask to expect 30%. 30% will be 31.7mn Saturday.

 

On that note,

31.4

31.6

30 / 93

22.5 / 115.5

I just always thought it would be at least $1bn until the trailer dropped.

Wouldn't the Saturday bump be deflated a bit by Memorial Day though? From what I remember Panda 2 (mday) had a 41.7% bump compared to Panda 3 (January?) that was in the 70s

I was thinking they'd give James Wan Mermaid, but now I believe they'll just give it to Guy after this week.

It's apparently going to be Rob Marshall.

 

They gonna need a lot of CGI considering 50% of Little Mermaid takes place underwater so until Ariel reaches the surface, we could potentially have a fully digital photoreal mermaid (if they go that direction) amongst other things. Ursula has to be CGI

What is the average saturday bump of EG until now? Is it better than IW?

Weekend 2 - IW +48.4, AE +51.0

Weekend 3 - IW +68.5, AE +70.1

Weekend 4 - IW +75.1, AE +72.7

 

Weekend 5 = IW +52.9, AE ?

They have been within roughly 2% either way since AE's opening weekend. i wouldn't expect that to change. So 50% on the low end to 55% on the high end, That gives you 6.15 to 6.355 as the likely range for today for AE. FWIW, IW was 6.473. AE's Friday bump being about 115% compared to IW's 121.6 is going to make it hard for AE to match IW's Memorial Day weekend from last year.
