Whilst we’ve known for a few weeks Aladdin looked headed for a billion dollars, seeing it now almost realised - it has to be the story of the summer.

It was DOA until it opened pretty much. Then audiences saw it and did their thing. Word of mouth even in a summer where we think there’s no time to make up lost ground due to a new event every week - Aladdin did not play by the rules one bit.

:rofl:.... and he's also giving us his SM B.O. takes (hah) with the usual attendant tons of shade


 

 

I saw that... after managing 20 million against Lion King, it's only gonna make it to 360? What? Geez. Then again this is the guy who said 300 was off the table for Homecoming after the second weekend.

 

How does this guy get paid to write this?

It was critic proof and has probably one of the best OTP story-lines

None of the editors at any entertainment site knows.... or cares... what this stuff is supposed to look or sound like. The IndieWire guy is worse than Alexander and Scott... combined! But it also doesn't help that Mojo is as shoddily run as it is, too.... when that's what THE expert site looks and reads like.... why should any other site even try?

Which will clear a billion first, Aladdin or Spidey?

 

If Spidey can make it before Wednesday if not Aladdin. Aladdin Thurs and Spidey Friday or perhaps both make a billion on thursday

A sequel to a much loved film having its trailer full of nostalgia beats? What a terrible idea. Just like that awful Force Awakens teaser. Man what were they thinking!!?

 

Especially on a weekend where the no.1 movie in the world is a shot for shot cash grab to end all cash grabs. 

 

The Top Gun trailer felt like Top Gun for everybody that loves that movie and wanted to see it return. It was awesome. What did you want? A trailer with no fighter jets, and no Maverick? Are you in marketing for sequels? 

Lol. Something new, something creative. Maybe try to make a good movie instead of a cliche filled mediocre one like the original was.

 

See if you like the first one cool, if you love nostalgia remakes and shot for shot remakes like TFA and Lion King good for you. I get why they market it like they did, it just felt uninspired.

Damn, the MCU will have 9 billion dollar movies after Spidey gets it (3 minus RDJ for those of you counting)... it's probably gonna be a while before we get the 10th. Thor 4 is definitely the best candidate.
