I’m just glad Pixar for next 3-4 years will atleast be original and make some quality movies 

5 originals within 2020-2022 span, exciting times.

Give me 2000s Pixar original streak!

That’s his opinion though. I liked Suicide Squad and still think it’s the best CBM of 2016, and many members give me shit about it, and I easily understand why others don’t like it and the problems with it, but I don’t get in a funk because someone does it like it or if the audience does or doesn’t like it. I mean I thought Aladdin was going to be awful and it’s one of the few Disney remakes I like.

 

Thats the beauty about film and art in general, its completely subjective, what makes discussing them (in theory at least) a lot of fun with people who have different opinions.

If they only released Once Upon a Time in Hollywood this year they'd still be releasing more original films than Disney in 2018+2019 combined.

eh, Penguins?

Never did understand why people were suddenly doubting Leo's ability to open something with this one. Now WOM will be the big question. 

[Jake Gittes]

19m friday would make a 50 weekend feasible. (19/17/14) But off these previews any number will be a relief given that I was sorta expecting a BR2049 situation right up until the end.

Terrible projection from thursday number. I am not sure even 75m is possible with 15m thursday. Anyway Even Charlie is saying 22-23m friday for Lion king. I doubt its hitting 75m if it just has 22m friday. Kids movies dont have great saturday increase in summer.

The day Leo joins a superhero movie is the day the world ends.

If you said Cinema is dead because they don't make more Suicide Squads I would say the same. Difference being I don't give a crap about Studios nor do I let my bias blind me. Suicide Squad is a mess but you know what? It's fun as hell. The more I watch it, the more I like it. I don't care about the problems with and I'm not surprised so many went to see it. I thought Venom wasn't good on the first watch, I liked it more on the 2nd and 3rd viewing.

 

Elitist attitude is what annoys me. I don't care what someone likes as long as they don't pretend their opinion is better than anyone else. 

 

Also I never root for films to fail, another thing I don't like personally.

Congratulations for Aladdin getting to the $1B-mark. 💁🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

 

It really baffles me though that Disney couldn’t do everything in it’s power to push TJB (2016) to the $1B, despite that film being the highest acclaimed Disney live action remake that they made so far. 🙍🏻‍♀️

 

That film made $966M WW, which is one of the closer films to that mark.

How were they supposed to add 40m? Expansion and fudge tactics aren't to cover gaps that large. 

[xiazhi]

There hasn't been one weekly #1 original movie this year so far. GA just don't want it.

For what it's worth, that's just their prediction before seeing any Friday numbers.

 

There is quite a bit of doubt on this board, however, that it will even sniff that range, given the MTWTh numbers for TLK.

[MovieMan89]

"Original" is an overrated term for movies. Movies have scarcely been "original" in the true sense of the word since day 1 of the industry. Now franchises and sequels are a different story.

Huh. Didn't realize Blade Runner 2049 opened to $32.8m.

To be fair, you dont have the same options in our country and youre also pretty much the only one i know on this site that tries to track the german presales. Not really comparable to the US, imo.
