It's official Austin>>Leo Elvis >Leo. but now they can push a new movie star in Austin Butler. Dune 2 is packed with them: Timothee, Austin, Zendaya and Florence Pugh. We shall see if that gets a higher box office. Edited July 30, 2022 by babz06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Butler and Florence Pugh are movie stars?. Pretty sure 99% of americans on the street would say "uh" if you ask them who are these two people. Timothee and Zendaya at least are big teen sensations. . Edited July 30, 2022 by vale9001 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your take on Timothee and Zendays, but With Elvis, Austin just became a star for the adult movie going public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I honestly think the opening for Super Pets is fine. It’s about $7m more than I thought it would do. It’ll be headed to $80m+ domestic. Excellent for Top Gun, Crawdads and Elvis. My Mum & her sisters went to see Crawdads on my recommendation and they all loved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. Older audiences are difficult from this point of view and he's portraiting Elvis in a kind of very imitative way. I don't know if they can already recognize his name or face after a role like that. It's definitely a breakout role but it's too early to call him a movie star. This role makes him a rising star to watch out in the next years to see if he can became a star. In my opinion. An Oscar winning at this very young age for a man surely would help this process a lot.

titanic2187 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 It is a pity that superpets didn’t manage to capitalise on the lack of animation in the marketplace now. Worse part is, why are lightyear and paws of fury collapse like they are facing some MInion2 scale opener? And neither marcel on the shoes managed to stand out. And because of the lack of new major opener, this weekend aggregate gross will likely fall short of 100m after going above 100m after 9 weekends. Another pity case to close out July. Also to highlight, this weekend is the first weekend that china has a bigger weekend than domestic since FebruarySo the race between two markets still looking tight.

Praying this means Papa Nolan gives Josh Peck the gold he deserves 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that’s who Hollywood is pushing to be the newer movie stars. Whether they will catch on with the movie going public is anyone’s guess. It Austin does get the Oscar nomination that will catapult him into more lead roles. I forgot to add that Rachel Ziegler is another one they are trying to push ( she got like three lead roles out of nowhere) Edited July 30, 2022 by babz06 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to cruise past 100 quite easily. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 TGM may eke past E.T. but probably falls shy of Frozen for 3rd biggest 10th weekend. Incredible hold, though. Next week should be the last meaningful hurdle for the remainder of its run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dune 2 is packed with them: Timothee, Austin, Zendaya and Florence Pugh. We shall see if that gets a higher box office. LOL What? None of these are stars. Chalamet has not been a draw in any of the movies he starred as a lead in. On the contrary, his "Beautiful boy" flopped earning 15 M on a 20 M budget, "A rainy day in New York" was one of the poorest performing Woody Allen's movie in Europe and Worldwide, "The French dispatch" was an unusual misfire for Wes Anderson's standard, while "The King" performed badly even on streaming. His only "success" as a lead post- CMBYN so far has been Dune, and I'm sure that it has more to do with the built-in fanbase than with his star appeal. Florence Pugh is another master of the quiet flops. None of the movies she has been the lead of were successful at the B.O., bar "Little Women", and I'm pretty sure that was Saoirse Ronan doing the heavy lifting. Austin butler is a nobody and Elvis is only performing well in USA, no one saw this movie internationally. Zendaya is actually well-known because of Spider-man and Euphoria, but her fanbase is mostly teenagers, it's unlikely anyone over 40 know who she is. Being popular on film twitter or reddit/movies does not make anyone a star. Edited July 30, 2022 by ThePrinceIsOnFire 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie will make 120-130m OS. That's really good for any drama movie even before pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
