No delays. We need to start admitting some movies belong straight to streaming.

Do we really need to go outside to watch Top Gun 2?

yes. it will be streaming in 45 days , unlikely to bypass theaters unless Netflix purchases it for 400m+

I gave Eric a taste of his own medicine. And instead of taking it like a man, he whined to another mod. *Shrugs*

 

Not exactly shocked. Typical him.

 

Real mature for a grown ass man to come here and talking about someone not "taking it like a man" when he won't shut up about the mean people on twitters that don't like his movie.

 

How's that suspension going, btw?

Criticising in a constructive manner a possible perceived double standard is okay but your second line of words didn't have anything sorts but just personal character attack wrapped in childish name-calling, and I think all or at least most here agree that there's no place for such on this forum.

I read the thread title and thought you guys were talking about Transformers. Pretty cool name for the new variant, ngl.

Afterlife will be #1 until The Batman. Obviously.

Not me wondering for a full minute what Afterlife was 😂

 

Loved House of Gucci.

The concern isn’t that the 2021 movies will be delayed or the effect it’ll have on the domestic box office (OS is another story as Europe could have a massive breakout) but rather the 2022 movies. I’m fully expecting Turning Red to be a Disney+ exclusive yet again 😫😢.

Anyway back to the matter ,decent numbers for encanto ,resident evil meh i am not suprised though.

Pretty much spot on but I am worry softer thanksgiving drop is at the expenses of meh Fri bumps. That would be terrible since softer Thursday dip itself should be the compensation for meh Wednesday numbers.  

I’m pretty confident we’ll have 100% plus jumps. Fingers crossed.

Speaking of 2021 movies affected by Covid, OT, but it is a Disney weekend - I finally got around to watching Black Widow...and I now get why that movie didn't do as well as wanted.

 

Yes, part of it was Covid fear...yes, part of it was plot timing...but part of it was the movie just bums you out.  It's morose and dark throughout the whole movie, and even the end is more slight relief than joy...

 

Since I watched both this week, I can say it's objectively better than Shang Chi, and I'd give it a B (ignoring the ending scene)...but I'm not keen to watch it again...whereas I'd be fine watching Shang again...

 

Just a movie that all around got screwed thanks to Covid...while it didn't have the Winter Soldier's tv issue of having to change plot, I'm sure if they knew we'd live a virtual nightmare for 18 months, they wouldn't have wanted to release this one as the 1st one out...but that's why timing and circumstance matter...

Your naivete is touching. Prepare for Europe to go into mass lockdown within a week.

Just wanna put this out there btw to filmnerdjamie that I didn't "whine to another mod". In fact, I really could care less if you think I'm a little bitch or not. They're just words at the end of the day, and I don't have time to worry about this kind of stuff. However, I will suggest one thing to you: if you don't like me, or the staff, or how I/we run things...why are you here? We aren't the only place on the Internet where you can talk about box office, so why stick around a place where you don't like the way it's run? Seems somewhat counter-productive to me.

 

Anyways, House of Gucci was good enough. Sadly though, Jared Leto drags everything down as per usual. I really don't know what Ridley was thinking when it comes to him in this movie.

I know this is an Official Talking Point at this point, but it has always seemed very disingenuous to me. People want to be on BOT because it’s got the best quality of insights and info, there is not a parallel version to go to which is similar-except-laxer-modding. 
 

This dude was way out of line with unnecessary personal attacks and deserved that ban, but the idea that there are a bunch of other good places to discuss box office online doesn’t really hold up — unless there are sites I don’t know of, in which someone please enlighten me.

Europe probably will, not a chance the US does.... it'd end poorly.
