Has SLOP2 not released in any key regions? OS drop is crazy, it's below domestic.

So yeah... half are Disney/produced by a Disney studio. And I'm planning to see Lion King, Skywalker, and It 2. I used to go to the movies a lot more but nowadays it just feels like every other weekend what comes out looks meh to me. I think I'm just more picky. I might still go see Aladdin though.

 

I see

5 Disney

3 Warner

1 Sony

1 Universal

1 Manga

Yesterday was fun but nowhere near as good as Bohemian Rhapsody. Not even close.

Success of Yesterday, Rocketman and BR ( a league of its own) shows that midbudget and lower movies are not dead. Also that there's audience for this type of music driven movie.

A Star Is Born as well. So I guess the lesson is, if you want a midbudget movie to thrive, make it about music.

Definitely. Gimme all of them. All of the music driven movies. I will watch all of them.

No question in my mind it's getting the LD weekend expansion. Remember AEG won't require LD expansion anymore so only 2 candidates remain TS4 and Aladdin for it. 

Hope they both get expansion. AE already had its expansion.

So it looks like the only MCU film with a better second weekend % drop is BP.

yeah I saw Cap Marvel, Endgame and Aladdin.  I'll see Star Wars 9 but that's the only Disney stuff I plan to see this year.  Kind of wish I didn't see one of those in theaters, but hey, what can you do?

 

but yeah I saw Midsommar and Crawl just the past 4 days and other stuff, as well.  Can't wait until Hobbs and Shaw, It 2 and others

I've seen Endgame and Spidey (and technically Wreck It Ralph 2 at 2nd run, so I can give Disney 2 for 2019:)...

 

But in 1st run, I've also seen Kid Who Would Be King, Lego Movie 2, Wonder Park, Shazam, Detective Pikachu (and had Upside tickets and let them "go to waste" since spouse turned down the date b/c of the weather/timing, but I gave it the box office anyway:)...

 

This week, I'll be buying Atom tickets with the TMobile deal...if presales for future movies aren't possible, I'll probably be picking up Disney movie #3...but if they are, it seems my kids want Angry Birds 2, so I'd be buying those...if not, it's still a toss up between Aladdin and Toys 4, since Godzilla (the other choice in the running) is out of our Cinemark theaters - no one is voting for TLK:)...

And that's a great train of thought. The genre is obviously profitable if they keep budget up to certain level (BR and ASIB exceptions nothwithstanding) and they don't need bigger budget for this genre. I remember that there was some big western bomb that had ridiculous budget for the genre. That's where they go wrong. You can't assign EG budget to everything.

And Thor, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and Avengers.    

 

Far From Home’s 2nd weekend drop is the only one inflated by a Tuesday release though.

That's because it opened on Tuesday. Drop is good but expected.

Honestly didn't realize how few movies some catch in theaters here. I totally understand there are many, many very valid reasons to not catch as many as I and others do. Maybe I should cut back... 😐.

i'm up to about 12 this year and that's low for me, but I've been more picky lately.

 

So I still see a lot of movies in the theater, plus I like to keep my diamond status with Regal 😛
