Does Marshall the publicist get bonuses or extra zeroes on his check for any of that though? Or is he getting paid exactly the same... plus half-bennies... to tweet and facebook about it. 

This is like the guy who updates listings on Amazon celebrating that Prime Day made Jeff a ton of money... that he'll never have trickle into his own account.

Yep, So what, A billionare gets more money. Yawn.

 

*That isn't even counting the fact that no single person should be having billions of dollars*

The Farewell's $33K second weekend PTA is the highest second weekend PTA of any movie since Phantom Thread (with $40K). Very impressive, and hints at least a mid-teens total.

Agree. Nauseating. 

 

Why will the Marvel panel go down in history? Nearly all they announced we already knew about. 

Cruise turning up with the awesome Top Gun trailer - that was easily the highlight of all the reveals over the weekend for me.

BTW I didn't get the trailer for Cats before my showing of The Lion King yesterday and that was the most disappointing part of the whole experience lol (movie was alright). I guess Universal decided Abominable would be a much much much less nightmare-ish choice to stick before it instead.

Cats it just ...cats. I don't get all this hate, I guess it's just an easy target for the geeks fan and smart people on the internet, people who love smart movie and characters like the ant man (loool). The Movie can be very good for the fans of the show and musicals. The singing animals of the lion king are not less cringe for what i saw in the clips.

LOL. I won't say you're wrong, because you're not.... but that's also maybe adding some harsh perspective a lot of us try not to consider too closely when we're here...

The 8th biggest opening of all time. Where all the "what a flop" folks at?

Underperformer and flop are two very different things.

I wonder what movie will Disney choose for their Labour Day re-expansion. Given EG is already #1 WW, Aladdin might be at 1B ww by then (and 400 dom is out of reach), TS4 may be above TS3 too (dom and probably ww) ... my bet is for TLK so it to gets as much as possible domestic. I hope TLK can leg it out to 650-700M (3.38-3.64 multipliers). 

Traditionally they've given it to their Pixar film, but they've never had an even bigger film in July before. The Lion King  might still have a high theater count by end of August such that it can't really add much more (maybe just IMAX).

[filmlover]

Wait so what is the real number then, $185M or $192M?

Will be frontloaded. 180m OW.

 

I don't care if Disney is probably underestimating Sunday big. My Jellicles win for today.

It's not bad at all but I find it hard to believe that it dropped 28-29% from Saturday that is impossible making a 45M sunday
