Man, Krasinski sitting here knowing that not only does he have millions of dollars of studio money resting on his movie, but the entire Hollywood film industry has their eyes on him. How his movie performs could really affect the future of this industry, for better or worse.

 

 

 

No pressure man.

GvK?

I think they are saying this is the first big theatre exclusive release GvK was day and date with HBO Max, so if to performs well could set the tone going forward.

Can’t wait to go back to the movies this weekend! Gonna see the two big releases!

 

(Of course, referring to me seeing RAN and TOUCH OF EVIL on 35mm)

OT, but it's summer movies, so not too much:)...

 

So, I'm back home and I just found out BOTH my local chains are bringing back the kids summer movies!  My youngest missed them so much last year!  Regal's is the better deal at $1/online with no fee (vs Cinemark's $1.50 with fees), so I let him pick a few movies at Regal and we booked tickets for a few summer weekdays.  It seems lots of Lego is in my future, although I will also get to see the Croods 2, which I failed to see all winter (which was the timing of my area's big Covid breakout)...

 

I skipped the weeks of the new kid releases in case he wants to head to those, too - one movie a week is probably my max for now as I get back in the habit:)...

 

PS - These are the types of programs that will really help bump the summer - get kids and families in, and let them see what's coming, so they can get excited and come back - get the habit restarted!

It will be lucky to do half of that. Also, I am guessing everyone will see Cruella at home either on D+ or Torrent.

Neither for me, sir. 

[Borobudur]

You all still have 2 hours left to join the club. 

 

[Cooper Legion]

From keyser update I’ll go 5->50->57 for AQP and 1.6->24.5->30 for Cruella

GvK can't even easily hit 100m. GvK is a important step but Hollywood can't sit on seeing their blockbuster struggling making 100m forever. They got to move on to next stage.

Excuse me wtf is that AQP2 number.

You will realise you aren't half way correct too

Preeeeeety sure CJohn is doing a bit right here.  3/4ths of a bit at least, as I presume his feelings that the box office is down now (and will be for a while) is fairly genuine. 

 

But the OTT Doom and Gloom?  Well, CJohn is nothing if not consistent in his extremes, be it positive or negative.

I hoped this would at least double Raya, and it did. Ultimately it does seem like it's going for high teens for the 3-day though, so that's not especially great.

 

Quoting from the Tracking Thread

[Rman823]

I've been off the site for a couple years (as you can probably tell from my Glass related avatar). With the early AQP2 numbers, I couldn't think of a better weekend to return. 

[Darth Lehnsherr]

Ah a nice return to weekend threads. Be an impressive result beating the first one's OW.

Then make your return even better by going to cinema for AQP2.

[Krissykins]

Exciting weekend ahead for A Quiet Place Part II. 

Could be great news for the rest of the horror films coming this summer. 

[grey ghost]

Didn't studio's already announce they're going to switch to 45 day exclusive theater windows?

 

Why are people acting as if this weekend will be a game changer?

Because AQP2 will be the first big film that hasn’t been available at home on the same day since Tenet. 

[Borobudur]

If AQP2 really did capitalize on the pent up demand, the movie possibly beat GvK to be the first 100m hit domestically.

GvK should cross $100 mil by the end of next weekend. AQP2 will take a bit longer.

[grey ghost]

Is F9 going to be a theater only release?

 

And Black Widow is going to simultaneous at VOD/theater release?

 

I think those numbers will tell us alot about which model is more effective.
