Bullet train is bigger or equal to most of the movies you listed lol and is the only that explicitly targets the generic man demographic and older

 

and yes the third act of bullet train is the weakest part; my point is more on a basic level this movie should not have been made with the intent of a big cgi finale

Why act like you know more than film industry executives and creatives

Opening an original movie is becoming harder and harder. Some end up getting to amazing totals thanks to terrific WOM (Elvis, The Black Phone) but others can't survive because of mixed WOM coming from low OWs (Nope, Bullet Train).

Deadline are saying $6.6M for the weekend for Top Gun: Maverick in its 11th weekend

 

Biggest 11th Wide Weekends

 

1. Titanic - $19,633,056 - 27/02/1998
2. Avatar - $13,655,274 - 26/02/2010
3. Beverly Hills Cop - $7,770,241 - 15/02/1985
4. E.T. the Extra Terrestrial - $7,620,888 - 20/08/1982
5. Home Alone - $7,195,573 - 25/01/1991
6. Mrs. Doubtfire - $6,916,809 - 04/02/1994
7. Frozen - $6,872,811 - 07/02/2014
8. Top Gun: Maverick - $6,600,000 - 05/08/2022

 

Specify wide weekends because I always find it weird sites like the-numbers and BOM compare the 11th wide weekend of Top Gun: Maverick against the 7th or 8th wide weekend of awards films sometimes even less if they have been in limited release for well over a month.

 

Beverly Hills Cop is a 4-day holiday weekend gross so its 3-day was lower. Aladdin (1992) did $7,687,184 in its 11th wide weekend.

I'd be surprised if the OW of all of those combined equals Bullet Trains OW

I've seen nothing but good buzz about Prey on the internet. Is it on Hulu?

Well, the deal between 20th Century and HBO Max ends this year. Avatar 2 is still a 2022 movie, but the streaming release is in 2023, so it's kinda unsure how it will turn out for that one.

It probably would have if The Predator(2018) didn't put the IP on life support.

Yeah The Predator is like 85% the reason Prey didn't go to theaters

 

But I wish the studio would have realized that The Predator flopped because it fucking shocked, not because people aren't interested

This excuse makes no sense to me when they've let PLENTY of Fox movies go to theaters and stream on HBO Max first

Beverly Hills Cop's number is from the-numbers, so it could be off.

 

Aladdin I assumed had one weekend of limited release but it does seem to have gone wide in its third weekend with no showings in weekend 2, I'll get that changed

I wouldn’t call Elvis an original movie when it essentially shares the same DNA as IP - material audiences are already somewhat familiar with.

 

If it was a movie about a fictional rock star then sure

Adaptations of historical events/figures is the most interesting grey zone for “original.”

I would say an extremely famous musician's entire catalogue of music is pretty much as IP as anything other IP driven film. It's just targeting a different audience.

They mean the late sep rerelease, not avatwo.   
 

Though in fairness, BP will probably be the next movie to 200M and possibly the next Ow over 50M.

Yeah in lieu of any 3-day info it is still probably worth including.

@Blankments @WrathOfHan You nincompoops, the idea was that we update our trailer findings the first weekend of every month. That makes the most sense and cleans up the slate for a new month.

 

 

 

as the person who STARTED this trend, I've always just done it closest to the last day of the month lol; don't tell me how to do my own thing!!!
