Because peoples’ opinions of what’s funny and is not funny sometimes are radically different, and not all humor is inclusive or… Funny. So I think a lot of the broad stroke comedies of the pass just don’t play anymore. 

This can be applied to every genre-not exactly comedy. It's subjective. Opinions of what's scary is radically different which is why there's bunch of different horror movies (possession, slasher, etc). A Will Ferrell comedy isn't necessarily the same as a Jim Carrey slapstick comedy or a Sandra Bullock romcom.

 

I would agree, though, on the inclusivity which I mentioned.

SNL’s biggest issue at least right now is it’s cast is way too big for anyone to really standout.  Plus it’s not really that funny anymore.

SNL was never funny tho

The last real comedy I saw with a crowd was Game Night and it was a pretty great experience.

Game Night got so screwed. 69m dom, 110 is fine worldwide but if it wasn't dumped in the wake of Black Panther, it makes 110 domestically. Def one of those movies that does better in a different time.

141-142m

[Bigscrubnus]

About in line with previous estimates 

[budice]

Estimates will have it above $140M.  Actuals likely make it interesting pending the Sun drop.  How low does it go?

Sun drops are small across the board around this time of the summer (18-20% drop).

[Joyous Legion]

Looks like 141 to me if that sticks 

[Mulder]

So a slight drop from FK. It's fine. Not great, not bad.

If audiences want a comedy, mystery, romance, or a drama, they can get quality content from streaming and TV.  Why go to the movies, which are constrained by their runtime, when you can get stories that have more time to develop at home?  Mid-budget action fare is also increasingly in this category.  There is no shortage of action schlock originals on Netflix.

 

you should check out interceptor, its the best movie of the year

Speaking of Netflix, Interceptor has some really, really, REALLY bad CGI work. Can't believe I'm saying this because I hate the statement, but it was PS3 quality.

That would be unironically very impressive and good. Many franchises wish they had this much endurance. After seeing the critical mauling and the mixed-at-best audience reception you'd think it'd pull a Rise of Skywalker and drop off big time from the last movie. Imagine a world where Transformers The Last Knight performed on par with Age of Extinction and still earned a billion.

Eh I don't think it's great. This had so much going for it, if the hype was there in a better way it could've opened better than FK did. Instead it ended up dropping.

Got anything for TGM?

[CloneWars]

So next week is Lightyear. That makes me think this will probably have a steepish drop. Honestly, I think this opens similar to FK and finishes almost identically, at least DOM.

 

I actually liked this one, but I guess bringing back the old cast isn't really a selling point. It was pretty much always about the dinos. Anyway, Jurassic movies for the most part have been a mixed bag, but it is not the worse by any stretch.

[BestPicturePlutoNash]

Fallen Kingdom fell 58.8% 2nd weekend vs no serious comp (the new releases were Sicario 2 and Uncle Drew). This one drops 60% since it's losing PLFs and Lightyear opens
