What I hear from south east asian markets like Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore etc have definite impacts. Box office would be subdued until it becomes a non issue. Not sure when that would happen. not a zero impact, but for now, its not like if a movie would make 100 million , it will make 60 , more like 90 , i am talking about % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OncomingStorm93 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Whoever thought it was a good idea to have this film title be 30 words long should not be in this industry. When this film was being promoted in the NFL playoffs, commentators referred to it as “Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey”. That would have been a phenomenally better title. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Disney should postpone all their movies until the nCoV scare lays low. There is a serious panic in Asia right now. It won't help the BO at all. they can delay China release but chances are it's no Zootopia or Coco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right: I should have said it had some impact outside of China in the Asian market. But the OP was clearly trying to ascribe BOP underperforming worldwide to the virus,which is just not the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear, I was worried that places like Singapore, Japan, Korea , etc might see some decline in box office for February and March while the virus is growing in the news, but I haven't seen any overall box office data to back up my worries.

Eric Duncan Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 @OncomingStorm93 I understand you are upset over your threadban, but from what I've seen from your posts, and other people on the staff will likely agree with me on this, your consistent negativity in the BOP thread wasn't constructive and either derailed the thread or made people annoyed. Saying you have reservations on the film's potential or saying it looks bad once or twice? That's great. Even doing a brief discussion or argument with another guy? Totally cool, so long as it doesn't go too far. But you did go too far, with constant negativity, which just doesn't lead to anything constructive. As much as we encourage discussion, we have limits when it becomes too toxic, and I, and the staff, feel you crossed that line. I understand you may not like that answer, but that's all I gotta say on the matter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 How often does a movie miss the studio projections by 12+ million? Studio projections are typically ultra conservative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Eek, had hoped that 40m would still happen just yesterday *sigh* That being said, as others noted the holdovers will majorly benefit both this weekend and next because of this. The weird bits of box office that we (and studios) cannot know, such as when a film bottoms out and the schedule is open at the same point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "OP" do you mean me or deadline? Because I don't think deadline said exactly that in the article I was responding to, and I sure didn't say that in my response.

MTC1 - overall 4173 shows 61980/843826 979589.69 MTC2 - overall 3967 shows 33094/650664 382820.18 Numbers look grim to me. its doing well in NYC/LA but otherwise there is no interest. I wonder how bad this could get. Worst case high 20's OW. Most probably in low 30's and best case mid to high 30's. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. I will track till day 2 and then stop. Hopefully Sonic breaks out next weekend(40m+ over 4 days). Update MTC1 - overall 4150 shows 87380/833923 1330621.05 post 6PM 2204 shows 55894/438376 900163.28 MTC2 - overall 3974 shows 58791/651393 635332.52 post 6PM 1725 shows 30542/278299 385902.88 I would say MTC1 would finish around 140-150K while MTC2 is looking at 85-90K. Comparisons. Bad Boys OD Finish MTC1 End - overall 2947 shows 258762/575718 3556367.70 post 6PM 1718 shows 198194/334720 2818159.49 MTC2 End - overall 2732 shows 189437/428177 2016271.00 post 6PM 1260 shows 125336/192744 1487326.00 So Deadline should be on the mark with early projections. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projections are probabilities; occasinly the thing that has a low percentage chance of happening happens. think making a saving role that has only a 5% chance of happening in Dungeons and Dragons.

I still don’t appreciate being blatantly ignored by an admin when requesting a threadban explanation. I didn’t even attempt to refute the accusation, I clearly asked you and grim how to avoid the perception of trolling moving forward. No response. Because apparently pointing out the lack of advanced screenings compared to other recent DC films was crossing the line.... Even though it was 100% factually accurate. Riddle me that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
