$20k avg. for Jojo Rabbit in 55 theaters is good, no?

It's fantastic. It had 28K average last Friday in only 5 theaters so keeping the avg in 20K after adding 50 theaters is stellar.

They’re saying joker did 5.6m, maybe a typo.  
 

 

Not sure whose typo it is specifically or THR's source, but WB directly reported $5.46M.

Which, given how unwanted sequels have performed this year, would be a respectable finish. 

That's as bad as The Lego Movie 2 with a much larger budget. Not good if you ask me.

Definitely not good, but respectable - OS will be much bigger than Lego, to make up for most of it.

Not bad. AMC was in line with estimates. This is the kind of hold I was waiting for joker to have. It needs to continue to hold well to help 1B WW.

 

Maleficent should have a big increase today and so weekend should be close.

At this rate, it needs to get into >330m domestic minimum to still have a chance to 1B. To ancipate if there is > 50% drop in later OS legs.

Lmao sorry, but these 2 pictures give the impression to me as if Maleficent was trying to pose and the Joker is just totally unimpressed

WB/DC has put out Wonder Woman,  Shazam, Joker, Aquaman and everything they are doing with TV like the Arrow crossovers and Watchmen are doing well..   

 

Why are people in these threads still trying to tell AT&T/Time Warner what they should be doing?

C'mon, Kanye.  Are you NOT going to report those numbers?  

In an off-tentpole weekend, Imax has Kanye West’s gospel feature Jesus is King at 372 runs in 134 markets. Pretty good numbers in New York, LA, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Phoenix and Austin for a $1.8M opening.

They did fuck up the Shazam release date, tbf...

But, really, the biggest issue is just how much they fucked up Batman, Superman and their team-ups. The movies that should have been their big events are at the bottom, so it was such a huge missed opportunity.

But they're definitely righting the ship. Ant they have some very big upcoming movies with tremendous potential as well - if WW84 and The Batman deliver, they'll be in an excellent position.

I wonder why no numbers for Parasite yet.

[John Marston]

Dark Fare was an obvious underperformed from the beginning. What were they thinking

Joker has another good drop and will pass the 275mil mark. If WB wants to make dark art-house type DC movies then follow Joker's example. Don't ruin good hearted Superheroes like Supes and Bats in trash movies like Batman v Superman.  Pick the right characters for these dark movies and don't hire hacks like Snyder to direct them. Joker and Mal 2 will be neck and neck for the weekend. Mal 2 probably has the edge because it's a kids movie.

I really hate Snyder fans coming out of the woodwork to tell people that Joker proves "dark" DC movies are the way to go. Of course Joker should be dark, it's a villain, and one of the most disturbing ones. Guess they missed the fact that Aquaman is the top DC movie of all time. Or that Joker is going to eclipse BvS at the box office, despite having the two biggest comic book characters of all time. Not to mention that, of all the post-Man of Steel movies, Joker is the one that has absolutely zero to do with Snyder.

Some people are obsessed with bringing snyder all the time 

[a2k]

J

5.46

7.92 (+45%)

5.15 (-35%)

= 18.53 (-36.65%); 277.21 cume

 

M2

4.825

8.44 (+75%)

5.91 (-30%)

= 19.175 (-48.1%); 66.05 cume

 

J can well better last Sat's bump and go high-40% while M2's Sat can end up low-70% (48% 2nd weekend drop seems too good to be true), but M2 has a small edge imo.

This.

 

Wonder Woman did great? Snyder produced it and chose Gal Gadot for the role. Aquaman did great? Snyder chose Jason Momoa. Shazam underperformed? It was the most distanced from Snyder's choices in the DCEU. Joker is doing great? The dark approach that Snyder went after is the way to go for DC. Really, they will always have an argument up their sleeve to bring Messiah back.

 

But the simplest of arguments is this: ever since Watchmen, the DC movies that Snyder directed were all underperformers (Watchmen, BVS, Justice League), apart from Man Of Steel, which did alright. And every movie he didn't direct, apart from Shazam (which was fucked mostly by a low-key marketing campaign and a Godawful release date), met high expectations or squashed low expectations, albeit Suicide Squad was lucky to do so given how bad wom was. That's not a coincidence.

Not sure you got the point.... The people trashing Snyder in random, unrelated threads are equally obsessed and tedious.

I mean...Bats IS a lunatic, and a Joker-like movie can definitely work for him, but it has to be executed well.

I only said that to try to make the point that bringing Snyder up all the time is lame when he's not even that relevant when it comes to positive growth for the DC franchise, so his fans should get over it and move on.

 

But yes, you're right, I did go on another unnecessary, repetitive rant that has nothing to do with this topic. I apologize for that.
