Nothing, in all likelihood, since everything set for the next two months is pretty much locked in. Universal already has a movie on that date (DreamWorks Animation's Abominable) anyway.

DreamWorks is putting out another movie this year? Surprised I haven't heard about it. Is it being undermarketed?

She has played the exact same character in eveyrthing I saw her play.

One note.

Then you haven't seen Little Woods.

It's the 3rd yeti-themed animated film within the span of a year after Smallfoot and Missing Link.

I saw Lily James in a production of Romeo and Juliet and she was incredible. I've enjoyed her in everything I've seen her in and kinda fell a bit in love in Mamma Mia 2 (which is still a brilliant movie btw).

[The Stingray]

Yeah, Lily James is pretty hard to dislike.

I saw that tweet before but  Toystory 4 was at $360m the day lion king came out. Am I missing something? If they mean the WW opening then that's kind of a silly thing to say since exceptionally few movies make it that high after a full run.

I mean, that's the significance that the post is conveying, right? The fact that Endgame's WW opening was so large that so few movies make that much in total? Just a harmless, yet ultimately useless, factoid. It's just putting into perspective how big Endgame's opening was.

I mean, it’s tagged WW 😛      

 

Bolded is kind of the point.

On mobile the full reddit post didn't show up, only the title and I didn't notice the WW.  

 

Incredibles 2 hit 1.2b in September of last year, so when Endgame opened it had been much longer since any movie had done it.  The gap between lion king and endgame isn't anything noteworthy for summer. 

Making a big deal about this annoys me for some reason, I'm not sure why.

Why isn't this thread pinned to the top like other weekend threads in the past?

Probably the same reason it’s 13 pages long on Sunday morning 

[Verrows]

Geez it is going to be a looooooong month here at BOT. This month is weak except for Hobbs and Shaw which was awesome btw.

Nobody wants to be saddled between IT and Joker.

Joker is not a blockbuster

It is the movie of a generation.

A once in a lifetime event.

We, you, are not ready.

All Hail the Todd.

What to write when the thread is already derailed into roll-eye areas... also I do think without the pinning it gets less traffic (even if only a bit less)

what was up with the new Spider-Man?  

was it supposed to have good word of mouth?

the movie really fell apart on itself with all the reality magic, did anyone else feel like this wouldn't go over well with audiences?

 I thought it was entertaining, the 4DX was great. 

 

But I’ve kind of already forgotten about it.

It’s the top grossing Spider-Man worldwide and has improved over its predecessor domestically and worldwide by a good margin.  What more was it expected to do?
