Doesn't change what I said. Will still be the number two movie of the year DOM until TROS comes out (and I expect the same in most countries outside of Asia).

 

Also the movie won't be #2 in Latin America. Will be either Toy Story 4 or Captain Marvel.

Lol people keep forgeting Frozen 2, likely to be #3 dom and #2 WW this year.

58 Sat would be delectable. 

 

Though we mustn't be afraid to dream a little smaller, darling.

Nostalgia and the Disney brand are helluva drugs so combined with a lack of competition I'm not prepared to say legs will suck yet

I like the title. 👀

I do not like such kind of titles in general, and even less at times of already IMHO too destructive moods

 

I often feel like certain pp think all should feel the same about their style, ignoring that at least some come here to actually enjoy a snark-free presentation of numbers, news about release dates, theatre counts and such.

Frozen 2 > The Lion King is happening.

[filmlover]

Meanwhile, as everyone is bickering about The Lion King, The Farewell continues to astound in limited release. Finally, a specialty hit this year.

 

A24 expanded The Farewell into 35 theaters on Friday and continued to post sizzling results. The (justifiably) acclaimed Lulu Wang dramedy, about a large Chinese family flocking to a fake wedding in order to say goodbye to a dying matriarch without actually letting her know that she's dying, earned $340,000 (+206%) on Friday for a likely $1.02 million (+187%) weekend and $1.523 million ten-day cume. That's a stellar $29,278 per-theater average and bodes well for the Awkwafina vehicle's eventual wide release.

Well I mean, there once was a  thread for "just the numbers" but no one used it.

Yet you champion all those cheap horribly made so called Christian movies?

 

I now prioritize the championing of smaller well-made films, and films that happen to be made by filmmakers who are Christian, over the championing of "Christian movies". But, like it or not, a solid amount of "Christian movies" at the very least come from a place of earnest sincerity--they, at least, have a soul.

 

Meanwhile, the fact that the "soullessness" of this Lion King remake can even be debated in the first place is an issue for Disney.

A 58m Sat would make my under BatB OW predictions for the last year+ a spiritual victory. Any lower could make it an actual victory.

Frozen will do 1B this time around not 1.1 or 1.2B. I am a huge frozen fan. It's getting overpredicted lets be reasonable. As for TROS i see it doing 1.5B and somehow people low-ball it to 1.1 or 1.2 as maximum some even give it just 1B+. 1.5b for TROS

Lack of competition does not drive a movie to extraordinary high if the movie does not show break-out potential after initial hype wanes. TLK can do 500-550M, but that figure already "price in" lack of competition, nostalgia, initial hype etc etc. WOM is decent but not great. It won't do more than 550M dom.

we live in times where 500-550M dom is not a breakout.
