Arrogance is Jim's brand. I kinda love it

 

Yeah, but a lot of people have gotten turned off from the "arrogance all the time" personality in the US...a certain 4 year recent period helped really cement that turn off...

Declaring this victory for my guy Porthos

[wildphantom]

Well at least it’s gone past The Fabelmans

The force awakens record ain’t shit in 2026. You can take it with comparatively paltry admissions.

Ticket price inflation has slowed down quite a bit in the last 6 months and if this pattern holds (let’s say 3% average increase through 2026) then you would still need a NWH level of ticket sales to get past TFA.

I know it means little in the grand scheme of thjings guys, but i checked the bookings for my 10am showing this morning (UK) right before i left, and it had 18 seats booked. final tally in the showing was 59 peopel, so it hard 41 walk ups, and thats for a 10am showing.

Maybe walk ups wont be as bad as some of you have been thinking.

The lack of Iron Jimbo in this thread is disturbing.

[Cmasterclay]

On the one hand, that is a bad number. On the other hand, this is a flop.

Yeah MCU fans are overhyping Secret Wars like they did with DS2, imagining about cameos that never happened

Aren't the MCU X-Men debuting after Secret Wars? And bringing back Tobey and Andrew won't have the same effect as seeing them together for the first time in NWH (for me personally, I still felt the novelty/excitement/nostalgia effect after multiple rewatches but it inevitably wore off like a month ago)

Then the Phase 4 momentum killer... yeah

 

So I think fake concern trolling or wishing for A2's underperformance is weird. This probably our last chance to see an exciting all-timer box office run for a very long time. There will be breakouts next year and after that for sure but none are all-timers.

Ok previews 

 

I have a hard time seeing below 140M, still can reach 150M depending on the IM. 

 

Mid 140M seems more like it to me tho

[Issac Newton]

167% ahead of Avatar (2009)

Someone check on him. I hope he's ok. We love you, @IronJimbo

The nagativity of the past few days drove him away unfortunately. I dont blame him either to be honest.

Other than the IMAX shows, Saturday is looking very quiet in terms of presales in my major local in Cardiff.  IMAX is packed for days, but these insane amount of alternative screens are pretty sparse right now.

Mainly a lot of people who didn’t update in the last few days or don’t pay attention to tracking that much. There are 11 contestants in the 125-140 range that I’d say have the best shot of being the winner.

From Deadline Hollywood -

 

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes may have simmered to 79% fresh, however, audience reactions as polled by Comscore/Screen Engine’s Posttrak are through the roof at 5 stars, 91% ad 82% definite recommend. They’re numbers any studio would crave. Audience make-up was 89% general, 5% parents, and 6% kids under 12. Men turned out a bit more than women at 59% to 41%. The 18-34 crowd repped 61% of all ticket buyers last night. Those over 45 were 14%. Those under 25 repped 41%. That latter number is potent given how some were concerned how older skewing this property would be. Again, the older Avatar fans will find their way to this movie with the right seat, right format they desire. No one wants to rush to see this sequel and be stuck in a 10 A.M. front seat in 2D.

 

Diversity turnout was 35% Caucasian, 29% Latino and Hispanic, 15% Asian, and 13% Black.
