Under 20M weekend for Venom?

Even though Craig's films were uneven, it was never really attributed to Craig being the fault. He seems pretty universally well liked as Bond so I think that factor still meant something, as long as the movie itself was good.

Brosnan is also considered to be one of the definitive Bonds even if his movies were so goofy for the most part (nothing in these movies since or going forward will ever top the absurdity of Denise Richards as a scientist). Gotta wonder how big a proper send-off for him would have been.

I'm in the camp that says Eternals will somewhat disappoint, but we need something to break 250M. Biggest movie of the year is around 210M and that's pitiful.

 

Bond looks to disappoint this weekend, adults are not coming back just yet. Paramount did good in moving Top Gun 2 to next year. Hopefully no new variant emerges

not pityfull at all, just some months ago we didnt even know when we will even start getting to 200 mill dom , as for bond i will never understand the term dissapoint ,imo its doing very decent for this franchise.

Its very possible the streamers leaked the 100m tracking of NTTD so it’d look like a bomb this weekend. I got my eyes on Serandos and Bezos…

 

THEY ARE IN CAHOOTS!!!!!

V2 under f9 would be a hilarious way for the marvel top 5 to die.

United Artist Releasing/MGM/Eon’s No Time to Die clocked $6.3M from Thursday previews which began at 4PM, making it the best Bond domestic preview number ever, 19% ahead of Spectre‘s $5.25M six years ago.

 

The figure also exceeds the preview nights of previous 007 Daniel Craig movies Skyfall ($4.6M off midnight shows) and Quantum of Solace ($2.5M off 8PM showtimes0.

6.3 without wed is okay. 6.3 with wed would be awful. Writeup unclear to me atm.

To me, I just never felt the same quite of beloved-ness. He was liked, for sure, but I guess it felt like Craig really dedicated a lot to the role and pushed Bond to heights never seen internationally.

@Porthos right on the money

[Fox20]

Venom with that toxic word of mouth so far... It does not even have the streaming excuse.

So No Time to Die is selling poorly. Hopefully this is a case where a film is relying more on walk ups which is not impossible for an older skewing franchise 

 

See, this is the problem.  It's not selling "poorly".  Not at all on any level.  

[BadOlCatSylvester]

A Spectre-like IM would get this to $84M, which seems a little high to me. Especially since Spectre started at 7 PM compared to 4 PM for this one. Let's see what happens.

My expected range is 5.8M-7.4M, and I'll predict 6.3M.

Venom did 3.4m according to Deadline so it's not quiiiite as bad as Charlie mentioned

[ThomasNicole]

If it's 6.3M with WED than meh, without WED seems pretty good to me.

 

It will be a solid debut but i already accept that the ridiculous 100M projections + presales leading to +80M will make people act like 65-70M is the end of the world even if it's pretty much the normal range of the franchise.

 

Venom 2 should drop hard but this doesn't have a good WOM and since day 1 it's biggest selling point was the post credit scene that now is old news.

 

Dune seems to be doing pretty good and i'm very hopeful about 40-45M.

 

Eternals idk, let's see how it goes. Anything beyond SC is great.

It's because they are shorting Cineworld and Cinemark
