maybe they are from African Americans who don't want to celebrate people that sold their ancestors, would Jews be made to celebrate Nazi heroes.... Hell NO

 

Why are the right wing using this narrative? When have they ever been precious about black stories before? Lol.

 

They honesty cannot see shit going past them. One farts and the rest latch onto it.

excellent when its expanded its theatres??

 

the movie is a sure success tho compared to malignant, x and company

 

tragic numbers for pearl. will it even do 10m total??

Probably not. But another sequel is on the way regardless.
 

A24 must be making money on these films somewhere. 

[narniadis]

Solid / Great for TWK. That Friday increase for SuperPets is old school massive 😳 not complaining just cracks me up since we dont usually see +300, let alone +400 anymore.

This. Sony expects good increase on Saturday and hold on Sunday due to church-goers. Makes sense.

So you're expecting a total collapse after yesterday to make this even more frontloaded than a Marvel movie?

 

[Flopped]

I'm excited for MaXXXine but these 3 movies together will probably gross 25M. How are they making money? It's not like they're $1M productions, either.

No surprise for either given that they were dumped (and Fletch also being available to watch on PVOD).

X did indeed have a $1m budget. It hasn't been reported what Pearl cost but not much more, probably.

stuff like X and Pearl gets covered by foreign distribution sales, right? if it's low budget enough it can be in the black before it's even released.

Yeh! Although Pearl doesn’t have a single international release date yet.
