THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER WEEKEND THREAD | The hammer swings down with 144.2 DOM, 302 WW, the 3rd-biggest 2022 opening | Minions 46.1, TGM 15.5, Elvis 11.2, JWD 8.6

Sucks that JWD is going to be on PVOD so soon.

 

We all know Paramount is begging Cruise to allow them to put TGM on P+, and Cruise is telling them daily HELL NO.

Paws of Fury is a 5M opener in the making.

That would be below Elvis' 4th weekend.

I can see that happen easily. Elvis does like 7M and Paws is going under that.

That comment was about Peacock, not about VOD. The Black Phone should be available very soon as well.

This Friday as well

This is less offensive that Turning Red themed pads would have been.

Do studios just hate money.

[Jiffy]

Any early numbers for Mon?

 

Wondering if TGM beats Avatar to $600m by a day or will have to settle for tying it.

Is this universal vod thing mainly just them having already committed to VOD after so many days if it falls under a certain number? I don’t think they can just adjust on a movie by movie basis? 
They’d have to make some big announcement changing the policy. Which is surely forthcoming.

Over $50m is 31 days, under $50m is 17 days but that is minimum as Jurassic is 35 days and Black Phone is 21 days (which seems like they pushed them back to Friday releases)

4k listing with release date just appeared on Amazon. Wonder if it is an accident? 7 months until video release is pretty insane.

The man is barely in it. This isn't like the Cate Blanchett show.

 

Huh, I got some shit a while ago for predicting they'd waste Bale. Still, sounds like the movie has bigger problems.

that’s a placeholder date. Dec 31st is a Sunday this year. 
when they don’t know the date they will use Dec 31st until a date is announced.

Too good to be true. Hopefully Minions 2 gets at least 16 weeks in theaters first before the video release.

I imagine they will want to cash in on Christmas, so likely late Nov/early Dec release, if not sooner.

Already??

I am probably wrong, but is it just me or have they severely underplayed Chris Pratt through all release cycle/publicity for JWD?

 

He is supposed to be the freaking lead!

The marketing has been pushing the original trio HARD. Pratt and Howard have been sidelined.

Dinosaur is the lead.

1991 - Home Alone becomes the 12th film ever with +$200 million domestic gross.

2002 - Spider-Man becomes the 12th film ever with +$300 million domestic gross.

2011 - The Lion King (1994) becomes the 12th film ever with +$400 million domestic gross.

2022 - Top Gun: Maverick will cross $600 million domestic as the 12th film ever

 

Somehow we skipped "$500 million decade". $600m is the new $400m now
