According to Deadline, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood needs to make more than 400 million worldwide, just to break even...

 

What the hell?

Aladdin gets to 370 with IO's 10th weekend multi. Will need the LD expansion for that though. 

 

TLK gets to 530 with Minion legs from here, though it dropped even harder than that did in weekend two.

TLK is a major underperformance relative to expectations.

Whose expectations.

Disney plus is gonna be massive.

 

the pricing is insane for all that content

I don't think once upon a time in Hollywood is going to have a very good multiplier. I saw it today and it's really meandering. I don't really understand what the whole point of the movie was. I didn't hate it but I didn't like it all that much either.

 

One thing I can say is that when Brad Pitt is on screen it's much better than when he's not.

Yep. Don't let any revisionist history say any different, the 600 floor 1b ceiling DOM was largely the narrative for the past year around here.

Not my expectations.  Might even slightly exceed them.

Gonna WILDLY exceed the expectations of @baumer, that's for sure.

You mean the expectations of all the nerds here at the site? Because when a movie gross is 1.3 billion dollars it's far from the under performance.

[CJohn]

Once Upon a Time in Flopllywood underperformed as expected. It will probably barely cross the 100M and end with maybe 250M WW on a 90M budget. The QT/DiCaprio/Pitt/Robbie combo can only muster a 40M OW? Lmao cinema is fucking dead.

 

Meanwhile Lion King is on the verge of hitting 1B and become the king of the live action adaptations in all aspects: DOM, OS and WW. Disney has doomed us all.

 

Top 2, 3 and 4 belong to Disney. And Aladdin is somewhere in the top 10 as well. All have hit or will easily hit 1B WW. Cinema is over. Disney killed it. Now to the streaming era we go.

100% good value for money, wonder what the confirmed Hulu/Disney+ will cost? They will miss a lot of new stuff early on, so that sucks, but if they give me some of that late 80’s and 90’s cartoons including the Fox Kids stuff it will be worth it, love going to sleep with some nostalgic stuff on.

The expectation of anyone with common sense who knew it's the crown jewel of Disney's library, who knew it was the 2nd highest grossing film ever after JP when released, who knew it only added to its appeal over the years (its 2012 re-release gross doubled JP's 2013 re-release) via its record breaking stage musical. It's an underperformance any way you slice it. Pulling less in its second weekend than BATB is actually embarrassing.

True. But it doesn't help that Once Upon A Time is overlong, unfocused and while sporadically entertaining, ultimately pointless.

Don't say that. There's still A24. See Uncut Gems this December instead of Cats/Star Wars if you want more original films!

I have found it interesting how often one's own personal opinion matches up with perceived common sense, yes.  Funny how that works.
