Besides the Netherlands and the nordics, which countries are at risk of closing theaters? 

Ireland are closing them at 8pm until 30th January. The last spider man showing of the day starts at 5pm, meaning employed people can’t go midweek. If the media are to be believed (?) England, Scotland and Wales are at risk of cinemas closing.

The ones that haven't learned doing that doesn't do a damn thing.  

It’s so frustrating.

253 would be chaos magic.  Also not happening.  at 253, they're find a way to 258.  🤣

Spoilers for this are everywhere. How can I stay off internet for 2 months? 😔

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Swinging To 3rd Best Domestic Opening Ever With $253M+ Overtaking ‘Force Awakens’; Is ‘Infinity War’ Next?

As we told you, once an event film like this catches fire and has momentum, there’s no stopping it, and tonight industry estimates are pegging Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home with a $72M-$74M Saturday, -40% from the 2nd best opening day ever of $121.5M, which will put the Tom Holland-Zendaya-Benedict Cumberbatch movie at $253M+

The question always asked on these big opening weekends is ‘Why didn’t anyone see it coming?”

 

Why indeed

 

[Knights of Ren]

Movie has trailers that repeatedly break all times records and trends on Twitter every week. 
 

 

Deadline:  How is this movie making so much money? 

[baumer]

Locking this temporarily while I hide spoilers.  WTH are you guys doing?  There's spoilers everywhere right now and this is a spoiler free thread.  This is to discuss numbers, not the plot.  Give your head a shake people.  

 

@Eric Osborn are we still banning people from threads when they give out spoliers?

[baumer]

Well, I guess according to the first post the spoilers that are mentioned here are allowed.  This blows my mind.  There's still people who don't read social media about a film before they go see it.  I didn't know for sure who was in this but once you read the title of the thread and then all kinds of posts you know for certain that Tobey and Andrew are in this and that there are charcters from the other films in it as well.  IMO, that should not be allowed.  This thread should strictly be for the box office discussion.  Just because Sony has released info doesn't mean it needs to be discussed here.

 

I'm really saddened and surprised that plot pieces are allowed to be discussed here.  Really blows my mind.  I now know that  known about otherwise.  

 

I just don't think this is right.

NWH $5M short of Infinity War's OW?

Well, to be fair...unless you have been living under a rock, there's so little chance of you not hearing about the rumours of Tobey and Andrew.

I will never understand anyone under thirty wanting to get married and have kids. My god. I am thirty and that thought still horrifies me. 

 

I agree but then you have kids in your thrities and think 'christ this is exhausting, I wish I'd done this years ago.'

Rumours yes I have.  Of course.  But rumours are just that rumours.  Spoilers were never allowed in weekend threads before and I don't think they should be now.

Of these three things, one is literally an official cast member and in trailers/tv spots/posters -- would have been allowed under the old/normal policy. One is affected by the exception for this movies open "secret." And one is still a warnable spoiler afaik.

Deadline has been lowballing films weekend projections since the dawn of the internet, it feels that way anyway.

Agreed. so they never learned basic math or they do it on purpose so that they can claim exceeded expectations (not a high bar considering their poor math ).

 

But even Deadline lowballing couldn't save WSS. 💣
