Settling in the middle looks very likely. Very proud of myself for upping the prediction when most people predicted 50-55M and 60M tops, not above. Why is SC OS lagging behind dom? Don't say China. It must be low somewhere, perhaps in Europe? shang chi os was always laggin behind , and thats bc the markets that are the strongest for the mcu (asia and latin america arent in an ideal shape) the good news though is that it has GREAT legs , again its ow week was 56 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only helps further on making go to theaters less special. It's crazy to think about how fast Hollywood turned TV into full blown CG event's. It was only 5 years ago that Marvel wouldn't let Jessica Jones fly because it was too expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it had something to do with distribution of covid-19. Yes legs are outstanding on both sides. Dead month helped a lot but I think it would have held well even if it was busier.

INT numbers are from roughly less than half of MCU market. Right now Europe is best performing region which isn't too hot on CBM, that too a low tier hero. The legs are pretty good everywhere though. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 20 (not even Top 10) DOM was under $37M this weekend...yeah, October better be on fire, or theaters might start limiting showings and availability even more... Good news is that next weekend should see a $100M Top 10 again (I hope)...as should the following weekend even if Bond disappoints some on here...of course, then we'll see where the rest of the month goes...

It will definitly be a very low opener. That 20M OW number I saw floating around was probably by @WrathOfHan that crazy lunatic kid. He was also mentioning 20M for DEH early in September. Nuts!

John Marston Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 35 years ago today this Australian movie opened and somehow dominated in the US. Would be around 400m or more adjusted for inflation 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be around 400m or more adjusted for inflation One of the greatest Box office performances of all time. Possibly even the greatest. Outgrossed Platoon, Aliens, Ferris Bueller, Rambo First Blood p2, Beverly Hills Cop 2, Three Men and A Baby and Lethal Weapon in terms of film released a year either side of it. Would have been the highest grossing film of the year if it had been released in either the following 2 years, as it was it was second to Top Gun. In fact after its release in 1986, the only two films that would outgross it during the rest of the 80s in the US would be Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Batman. Crazy.

titanic2187 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 The box office recovery certainly isn't holistic. 3-weeks we are in this quiet market yet none of the new releases managed to surprise, which is very different from the pre-covid era where low tide season normally produce some mid-mini surprise hit. Also, I can't understand the hesitation going back to cinema among vaccinated. With weekend box office trending consistently below 100m, I can safely assume that the cinema hall is probably emptier than a lot of venues out there.

Ever since the trailer was released to backlash he and the filmmakers have been in the media saying "it was either Ben or the movie wouldn't have been made at all" (even though plenty of actors have succeeded him as the character on stage lmao) as a defense for the vanity project vibe of the whole thing so it must be bruising to discover that no one actually cares about him. I’m sure he’ll be fine as he cries into his daddy’s money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 To me it looks like the market is dying for a big movie. These films are arguably holding better than they would pre pandemic as there is no competition. People want a reason to go back. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest (apart from Jungle Cruise) are certified fresh. Hopefully October really kicks into high gear. It’ll be crap if all 4 disappoint.
