OOF.

[a2k]

So ALADDIN was within 5m of KOTM in the end. 42.84 vs 47.78

Removing previews went ahead by 1.36m.

Coming weekend it could be ahead by 5m+.

[a2k]

POKEMON had the only sub-50% drop in top 10.

SHAZAM benefited from KOTM or got into dollar theatres.

I know its ridiculous to root for a studio film and hope it makes money, but if you can get over that maybe you can empathize.

Can I just say: it is really, really not ridiculous. And I wish people would stop using this excuse against fans who go hard for certain Studios or IPs.  It it feels like an excuse to gaslight people for daring to have emotions.

 

Entertainment Industry is a business.  No one is saying otherwise. It is a business that sells escapism, fantasy, catharsis, and pathos.  Of course it becomes easier to become

attached. 

 

Brand Favoritism and rivalries have been around for decades. It’s what happens in a capitalist consumer based society. Rooting for WB to do well is really not different than rooting for the Giants to win the World Series or Green Bay to win the Super Bowl. Those are all multi-million dollar organizations that you as a fan have zero monetary interest in. So, what’s the point?

 

And why is rooting for THAT multi-million/billion dollar organization to succeed any different than me rooting for Godzilla to succeed so we can get a good Godzilla v Kong movie?

 

It’s not. Don’t let them fool you into thinking it is.

Yet Pokemon is declared a flop by people on here.

[MovieMan89]

Dumbo may end up being KOTMs box office twin. Both $170m budgets with a likely 350ish WW gross and very similar DOM/OS split.

difference is Dumbo is a one and done motion picture while Godzilla is trying to continue a franchise that wants more installments

No one’s saying Dumbo is a good twin to have.

most likely overtakes Zilla on one of weekdays as well. Tuesday jump should be considerable.

[MovieMan89]

If DP gets critically panned, Imma go out on a limb and say Aladdin stays #2 next weekend.

I'd cast Tom Holland as Red, I know big controversial right there. But it's a way to give us Spideypool.

 

it's only controversial if people care about it beforehand

Heath Ledger was initially a controversial casting choice. People cared about who played the Joker. Whoever plays DAJK in his biopic, there will be absolutely zero controversy. 

[MovieMan89]

Tom Holland leading a Red/Blue movie would be great casting. I’d love for WB to get super experimental and actually make two separate versions of the film to release simultaneously. Just not sure how you translate the game interconnectivity to film. If they could crack that though, could be revolutionary.

[YM!]

Ryan Potter would be a good Ash.
