Weekend Thread | Violent Night 1.1M in previews

[Borobudur]

Hope VN can remain as a great counter-programming when A2 and PIB got most of the attention throughout holiday season.

Lol Wanda and the multiverse aspects of MoM were the bigger pulls, not "male lead" Strange. The third film will drop like a rock if there aren't other franchise characters in it, especially as MoM was meh.

 

Marvel can always have team-ups like Civil War and Ragnarok to boost their individual films (heck, those films were designed to boost the Cap and Thor franchises respectively).

 

The paranoia is dumb.

I’m talking about future movies. Thor and Doctor Strange are much more established and much more popular as leads than Shuri and they have much more international appeal.

The next Thor and Doctor Strange movies if they are true solo movies will probably make more than the next Black Panther movie if it’s a true solo movie without T’Challa.

Theatrical money is not the only thing Disney cares about; they also care about Disney+ money and Parks money. A black female movie will attract more black females to Disney+ and Parks. And every studio only cares about money.

They care much more about merchandise and Shuri’s merchandise doesn’t sell nearly as well as T’Challa.

Black females are not as profitable a demo as Black men.

we have the fourth weekend of Disney/Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever coming in at an estimated $17.7M (we’re still waiting on Disney’s official figures) and Universal/87 North’s horror action comedy Violent Night overindexing with $13.3M, slightly above its $10M-$12M projection

After today it should have $40-50M more in the tank domestically and probably a similar number OS. Let's call it $815-835M final.

Nope they don't because Disney only gets 5-10% licensed merchandise sales.

Violent Night is fun and played like gangbusters with my audience yesterday. I can see it legging it out to $40M+ over the holidays.

Have a strong feeling T’Challa will return in the next film so that won’t be a problem

Which is still more money than whatever they are earning from park rides concerning Shuri and black females.

Krampus legs takes Violent Night to 35M total, which I think should be the floor of what we expect from this movie. Krampus had to contend with The Force Awakens which was arguably a bigger deal in North America in 2015 than Avatar 2 will be this year. Plus, Violent Night seems to have better reactions than Krampus which, from what I can remember, had somewhat mixed reception.

 

40M I think should be the target.

It's highly unlikely ANY of their sequels will be pure "solo" films without featuring another popular character. This is not new to Marvel. They have been doing it since Winter Soldier which featured Black Widow.

-42% sunday drop for VN is a bit harsh isn't it? Anyway, it is saddening to see we are cheering $13.3m as a win for such mid-scale action comedy and few years ago VN probably doing >100m. With projected $35m-$40m finish total, VN actually isn't making far better than Nobody in early 2021 when thing were way less friendly for cinemagoing.

I mean a mid-teens opening for Violent Night sounds right even in the best circumstances. I think it looks really cool, but "Santa killing terrorists" is a Snakes on a Plane-style goofy premise not everybody was going to get behind or be interested in. I guess maybe it could have opened in the high teens or 20s and do 50-60M, but it wasn't ever going to reach 100M.

Yeah it’s hard for me to get excited over these numbers for both VN and The Menu but I guess we are in desperate times these days and need something to cheer.
