Weekend Thread (1/21-23) | Asgard 2 says 3.5 Fri for Scream, 3.4 Spider-Man

[Legion Again]

Thinking Sat +105 Sun -60ish Mon -10 or so that weekend. Then the weekend after is Pres. Quebec might also be reopening around then. All in all a really fun period for dailies 😂

Eh, it’s pretty hard to say. Being harder to fit into someone’s schedule probably did hurt endgame on the margin — how could it not? Titanic, rotk, etc etc.   

 

Now you’re right that really long movies are often some of the best performers of all time despite that, so it’s not a big issue by any means. But a lot of the time I think that’s a common confounder — the movie is very “epic” (either some historical epic or franchise finale) which both generates a long ass runtime and a very high desire to see it, which more than outweighs any more direct causal harms from being mega long.   
 

If Batman feels like a movie that needed to be 3 hours, I agree it’ll do gangbusters according to historical precedent. If it feels like a movie that’s 3 hours but didn’t need to be, that’s where you can have issues on net.

The movie will be raved and the runtime is already buzzy meaning many expect an epic film and are pleased about the runtime

Since this is now the “chat about Batman OW while waiting for NWH huge Sat” waiting room, what are we thinking for IM?  
 

Maybe like 7x, so 20-25 previews?

I suppose everything CM except muted SAT bump.

The epic runtime will only help The Batman. 200M OW is coming. This is not a prediction. This is a fact.

Applying the pika ratio I guess 38M for batman? Too bad, but fax are fax.

Sub 60% drop coming for Scream, despite big previews, fan rush, and a holiday weekend. 
 

Very happy.

assuming 6.5 is spidey?

Yes. 

[BadOlCatSylvester]

A 58% drop for Scream 5. Seems good for a slasher.

[Mango]

$6.5 is actually King's Man, having historical late legs

[Krissykins]

Solid hold for Scream! Woop

[RyneOh1040]

yeah that’s a veryyy good hold for S5.

That Belle number should lock it up for me in the derby. @RiddlerXXR may always have the first post-covid win but I’ll always have the first second post-covid win 😛

Scream won't reach $100M but $80M+ total is easily a lock now. I imagine Paramount will green light another for release within the next 2-3 years real soon.

-	(5)	The King’s Man	20th Cent…	$1,779,000	-20%	2,360	-150	$754	$31,510,014	5
-	(8)	West Side Story	20th Cent…	$698,000	-25%	1,290	-170	$541	$35,051,495	7

 

King's Man and Matrix might end up with almost identical totals except the numbers inspire a major franchise-killing "yikes" for both.
