Don't do this. Or at least post a higher number. I already told a hater on Twitter it'll open above Birds Of Prey

 

Friend, even if it does open higher you've already lost.

I am hoping for 28 million

Will this be the movie to trigger the great migration of 2021 films into 2022? Matrix ain't making it folks.

Possibly. I don't see Spider-Man getting a Christmas release. Next year will be Spider-Man's 60th anniversary, they will release around there imho.

if that were to move then DS2 would have to move. Not happening. 
 

The only potential moves are those coming up in the next couple of months due to this delta variant, and WB maybe moving a couple of massive films due to the HBO Max commitment promise for 2021. 
 

Beyond that, I don’t see anything moving.

I really wish there was someone taking bets on movie release date changes. I'd put £10 on The Eternals getting bumped.

you might be right. 
All I can say is that the situation the US is in right now with this variant is where we were in the U.K. maybe 4-6 weeks ago.  Much has changed over here and things are as close to ‘back to normal’ as we’ve been in 18 months. 
 

The trends are encouraging, so hopefully the US follows suit and things look much better by the end of September.

I like how the recommended post for the thread is just Empire's "ignore me, I'n an idiot"😄

Just got out of The Suicide Squad and it was baller. People need to go see in on the big screen. 

[RRA]

So this could cross 30? I would consider that a win.

There's a fuss because other rated R CBMs got A's and the first Suicide Squad also got a B+

Depends on the movie. Not all CBMs are the same and not all R rated CBMs got A.

No numbers means Suicide Squad bombed, in other news 800 people died from covid yesterday and 130,000 people got infected

Captain Marvel was sabotaged on RT and Imdb and it has an cinemascore of A. 

Review bombing doesn't affect final imdb rating a year later in most cases.

Can't believe people in a few pages ago were discussing whether Snyder fans went to theaters last night just to review bomb The Suicide Squad on Cinemascore.

The Snyder Acolytes are too busy at home sitting through their 20th viewing of Army of the Dead trying to convince themselves that that shit was watchable. 

 

"OMG, does this embarrassingly on-the-nose easter egg mean the gang  is caught in a time loop?"

 

"Did you see the UFO? COULD THERE BE ALIENS??????"

Yeah i genuinely feel that the experience will vary a lot for this film - theatrical experience vs home.

 

I caught it in IMAX, best movie i have seen in theaters since start of the pandemic.

If that were true, we'd maybe have a bigger box office take.

This is reminding me of In The Heights all over again.
