i know overseas critics aren't the biggest fans of sonic 2 (at least compared to U.S critics who make most of the fresh reviews on RT) but how was the general word of mouth?

Everything Everywhere All at Once is quickly becoming the first arthouse hit since before the pandemic. Excited to see how it does upon wide release next week.

I thought that title belong to licorice pizza? Plus everything production scale seem a bit too big to be called a art house film.

No. It got 14 weeks or about 100 days theatrical exclusive window

Pretty solid in Singapore and Taiwan thus far; but theaters are barely giving it 1/3 the screenings of Morbius..

Some audience reviews said it is better than the first film and is waiting for the sequel.

Why are people comparing Morbius numbers to Sonic's numbers?

 

I think Morbius is much less audience friendly than Sonic. Morbius is basically perfoming like a horror movie, at this point.

It did well but hardly a breakout. Its total was the norm for a Paul Thomas Anderson movie.

This 5 week period is turning really bad tbh. Hopefully Sonic and Fantastic Beasts have some juice in them.

Sonic 2, yes.

 

Fantastic Beast 3, I seriously doubt.

I bet here in Portugal Morbius destroyed Sonic

 

From what I have seen Morbius was SLAYING every day of the weekend.

Morbius’ RT audience score is actually moving up. Guessing people are going in with rock bottom expectations (thinking it will be as bad as Fant4stic or something like that) so it allows them to fee “oh I guess it wasn’t that bad”

Just saw it, and I think the WOM's gonna be good. Positive reactions from the crowd at my show.

My real disappointment of this weekend is The Lost City. I was really hoping for a leggy run into the 100M.

I think Ford v Ferrari is a good comparison for this that I'm looking at. FvF opened $1m higher than The Lost City. At this point (2nd sunday), FvF is about $3m higher than TLC (57.5 vs 54.5). FvF finished at $117m. I think there's still hope for TLC to get to $100m. Granted, FvF had Thanksgiving weekend and then some Christmas legs a little bit. But I hope TLC's legs can start kicking in
