A cinemascore for Respect

 

Well I guess it got a little respect then. . . 

 

I'll see myself out!

I remember I watched the big sick not knowing anything about the film. Not a trailer not sypnopsis not even an idea of genre.

 

Ended up being one of my favorite films and such a ride that could not have been experienced the same way knowing anything about the film.

My goofiest one was confusing LION with FOUR LIONS (from years earlier, no less!) and early on wondering when the terrorism would start. (I only knew the vaguest concept of FOUR LIONS to boot.)

 

lmao. I loved it though.

That doesn't surprise me at all, the last 10 minutes and credits (right before people leave the theater and tell cinemascore people what they think) is incredible.

Any idea on how the Protege might do next week? O/U reminiscence?

Did you saw Candyman? This one must be good (i hope lol)

Viewer anon said it didn't test good. Although that was last year I think. Hopefully I am wrong.

Jungle Cruise and Free Guy both getting good audience reception. Doing moderately well at box office and Luca becoming one of the biggest tested film on Nielsen. Cruella also getting good wom and moderate box office/PA

  looks like Shang-Chi might be the scarfice they make this year.

Can we have at least one hour of pre-sale data before pulling out the doom and gloom cards?

 

Seriously.

Glad that it has one but could you tell us what it is?

Was thinking of making that joke, but decided to pass on the low hanging fruit. 

 

Glad someone else was thinking along those lines. 👍

Scott Mendelson calling it “either the most disappointing success or most successful disappointment” got a good chuckle from me.

Black Widow is no way a sacrifice and probably break even.

She certainly didn’t break even on Vormir

[Krissykins]

That’s a shame The Suicide Squad is pulling a Black Widow/F9 with its second weekend drop. 
 

Great cinema scores for Free Guy and Respect.

[BestPicturePlutoNash]

It really sucks TSS is a flat out bomb. It’s a unique comic book movie with heart and action that isn’t choppy shakycam. Tbh I’d rather have DC throw money at a Director to do whatever than another bland MCU film. After how amazing and cathartic Endgame was, I’m over MCU now. Can’t imagine all the money WB lost and will continue to lose this year. MAX cannot justify this bleeding 

 

Will any movie have a decent 2nd weekend hold? I guess it’s up to Free Guy now
