i think it's just deadline's pre-friday forecast which they happen to mention when writing the preview article. an hour or two before their 1st stab at numbers comes in.

With Joker breaking the R-Rated Record, the highest WW Grossing G, PG, PG-13 and R-Rated movies were all released this year.

[MovieGuyKyle17]

Any numbers on Jesus Is King? I'm really curious how those numbers are for it. Also is there a thread for that?

Cats will break the NC-17 record too. What an amazing year.

Suicide Squad was only PG-13, so it doesn't belong on the list

[DAJK]

I obviously don't know about any of this, but how does it work with someone tied to one intellectual property referencing a different intellectual property? Like, I know Ryan Reynolds is a person rather than an extension of Fox/Marvel/Disney, but I'm assuming there's no rules or laws restricting him from tweeting about something like Joker which comes from DC/WB right?

Cause I mean, YouTubers can get stuff dinged all the time for copyright, but Deadpool himself just tweeted a poster from a WB movie. I'm just wondering how that works?

Its normal, that is the Thursday proper gross. Any theaters opening for previews last night will be included in Fridays report. 

[Maxmoser3]

Just like my thoughts on 3 From Hell. Meh on these numbers and box office 

[DAJK]

Wondering if Countdown is just going to be 2019's Hellfest. Looking likely right now.

Before going into it, it's important to recognize that Ryan Reynolds doesn't own Deadpool. And it's likely he asked permission from Warner Bros. to make this, since he has the connections to do so. But if he didn't ask for permission:

 

Fair use law allows people to use copyrighted work, so long as said work is changed enough to be transformative, whether it be through commentary, criticism, or parody. Ryan Reynolds' image is the Joker poster, but the text, as a congratulatory post that focuses on box office, is parodic and is transformative enough from the original work.

 

And it also helps that Ryan Reynolds is a Hollywood actor with a decent enough clout to his name that WB suing him for a random Tweet would be really bad PR compared to a rando YouTuber

I mean... yeah, that's quite the range.

[Damianport1]

Divisive Last Jedi opened to 220M so why would the Rise of Skywalker open less? (they have it at 200M). I don't see it happening especially thats it the trilogy ending film.

[Eric Duncan]

Weird the domestic total is now a range rather than any concrete number.

It was divisive after it opened, it would't affect OW.
