HummingLemon496 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Just now, emoviefan said: It's like you are having a conversation with yourself or something. Yeah basically haha Ok, so what happened was that at first it was tracking for an $80-85M OW and then when I said "if this happens, that'll be bad" I was met with resistance saying "no, that would actually be good." But now the movie is blowing TF up to 155M+, almost double the original tracking, essentially proving me correct in that an $80-85M OW would have been bad. Vindication.

But thankfully it doesn't matter because this is not doing 85M it's going to do 160M+ headed for 550M+ DOM and 1.3+ WW . Which is absolutely fantastic, will easily beat DS2 WW to become highest non-Avatar Disney movie post pandemic. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box Office tracking may not be for you, if the biggest opening weekend of the year is “bad numbers” to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, it made slightly less than the last one, how unheard of!” This is opening to around 150M. We’ve known 85M was off the table for days. You’re obsessing over hypothetical situations you dreamed up in your crazy head to try to prove some point that no one cares about except for you and the Reddit obsessed cringy teenager. It’s exhausting and annoying. You’re honestly almost as bad as HummingLemon now. Which is not something to be proud of. You two need learn some nuance and move the fuck on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cry me a river and hit up the ignore button? People are discussing this, I chimed in my opinion, if you disagree or don't want to read it there is a simple solution. It's not even like I brought back the conversation, it was already there when I posted about it, I simply answered other people. So again, cry me a river.

Pretty sure people gave plenty of fucks considering it was a pretty big discussion at the time (which - again - I didn't bring back). I answered a message regarding it. You could choose to ignore it, but instead you're kicking up a fuss about it. I'm sorry that you apparently don't enjoy this point of conversation but no one's strapping you to a chair and forcing you to read it. I simply answered what was already there.

It really was not a big conversation. And noticed how most people moved on. Except for the unstable people. And you very obviously didn’t “answer a question”, you asked a question to try to kick up a tired conversation that only you and one of the most annoying people here are obsessed with. I’m sorry people didn’t agree that 85M would be the worst thing that’s ever happened in the history of the box office, but you look so pathetic and embarrassing now trying to still do this across two different posts. At least HummingLemon thinks they’re funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasNicole Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Of course i´m very glad that it pulled a Barbie instead of an Oppenheimer That said, i still think 85M would be fine lol Really dislike this idea of being disappointed everytime a movie doesn´t blow up way harder than expected, which is what happened here, this is an exception 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Pixar clearly is officially back as a theatrical draw, I just didn't want to make that assumption and didn't want to be disappointed if that wasn't yet the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have still been enough for all the "PIXAR IS BACK" headlines. It getting an additional $70M on top of that is pure gravy for the news outlets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 85 and like a $300 mil total would've been a "streaming-handicapped but still encouraging" outcome for IO2 and another stepping stone to returning to form. They just ended up leaping straight across the stream here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
