How the hell was the last Harry Potter movie so frontloaded? It had good reception from what I've seen

 

In part, insane fan rush for the last instalment. Still in the top 5 largest preview/midnight grosses, despite consisting of only midnight showings back in 2011. The midnights were 47.7% of its opening day gross - a share of opening day that is second to only The Force Awakens; and 25.7% of its opening weekend gross, which is to this day still the highest share of opening weekend from previews/midnights (The Force Awakens is second with 23.0%). That's pretty wild to me, considering that previews now almost extend across a whole extra day on Thursdays.

    i dont know how feige can justify keeping jeff as writer of kang dynasty 

    They are at least showing some self identification of issues so that helps. Personally I think the concept is the problem (it should have been an Ant Man film) so personally I think they] guy behind hiring them needs looked at…

    Can't wait for Comic-Con and both Avengers movies magically get delayed a year or two for no particular reason whatsoever.

    I'd go back to the mid-2010s format for this year's panel if I were them. Focus on projects arriving within the following 12 months with a more traditional panel format with the casts and crews of these projects, and avoid extravagant slate reveals for a while. Unlike DC they have plenty of time to adjust plans according to the reception Quantumania is getting, and even now they're still nowhere near the shithole the DCEU got itself stuck in for the better part of its existence.

    Not happening. KD has a director and writer attached; why would they delay KD for the rumoured projects that don't have writers and directors attached?

    So what do we do if Cocaine Bear gets over Ant-Man this weekend? Not that it will happen but hypothetically. 

     

    Looks like 2M+ previews. Not sure how frontloaded it will be but think it can get to 20M.

    I did a quick check. it almost has 2x shows today compared to tomorrow. I am not seeing 20m OW with that kind of release. It will do well only in big markets I think.

    This tweet from a couple of weeks ago was when I went "Damn, that's a lot of movies and shows for a 16 month stretch from Feb 2023 to July 2024

     

    and you just know they want to make it all very interconnected so that a random background character introduced in say, checks notes, Echo, will be in say Blade and get a moment of standing around so the audience can applaud.
