Even though they announced the date, that doesn't stop the parent annoyed that their kids won't stop badgering them to go see the movie this weekend instead of waiting from taking their kids.

 

It'll still be in theaters on May 9th, right? So they get a few coins from runoff from Vol 3.

Yes, we have 2 years of strong data showing PVOD doesn´t hurt some types of movies at all 

 

Empire is just that specific type of boring oldschool person who thinks the ´´old way´´ is the only right way even when otherwise has been prooved

@charlie Jatinder is claiming $26.75M for Thursday on the Telegram group 

 

Nice and @keysersoze123 sees >$55M for Fri, so maybe we're inching towards $60M with about +115-125% increase.  $220M here we come.

Sunday drop will have to be good to pass 200m I think

16.5% drop from Wednesday.

 

It’s over. This is winning 2023. We haven’t even gotten weekend numbers yet and we’ve already seen all we’ve needed to see.

[keysersoze123]

So which one will be bigger. Domestic or OS OW. I think both of them could hit something crazy like 225m. So we will only know for sure on Monday.

Update On AIR

 

Amazon/Artists Equity/Skydance Sports/Mandalay’s Air came in at $2.4M for Thursday, -26% from Wednesday. still on track for a $16M 5-day. The expectation is that today will be $4M, +65% from Thursday.

[spizzer]

Two day cume is $58.2M. As of this morning, Uni is sticking to its $92M 3-day figure and $141M 5-day as they wait to assess matinees and early evening advance ticket sales

 

Math totally checks out.

I think Air can do 18M, nice all things considered

Shazam 2 is now available on PVOD. So anyone who missed it in theatres can now miss it on OTT as well.

 

heard someone mention there was one super joke in that movie (one with helen mirren), anyone mind telling me what I should keep an eye for If I go looking for it on youtube

[cooldude97]

since it seems on topic here's a track that was cut from the movie and was replaced with "take on me"

It actually has a set up in a separate scene, so it's gonna be hard to get the context without a multi-scene review.  It's a great payoff scene to a well done set up...

[TheFlatLannister]

$225M+ OW, Strong WOM, and it only needs a 3x multi...Yeah Avatar 2 might be going down

[grey ghost]

I gotta say. Releasing this over Easter Weekend/Spring Break was a stroke of genius.

 

Parents have zero reasons not to take their screaming kids. 😆

Regardless of actual impact, it's just obnoxious as hell to be announcing digital release date before the opening weekend has even really started. What the hell is the incentive there?

 

I assume its mostly focused towards families with kids who would want to rewatch the movie in the very near future but might be willing to go to the theater again; the math must work out, otherwise they wouldn't do it

Awesome to see Mario explode even more so than expected... Just about everyone with any sense knew it would be big but not this big. Reminds me most of Jurassic World but also stuff like Force Awakens and No Way Home. There's a novelty (first true Mario movie that's very, very much for fans and he's absolutely the biggest video game character across generations). I expect something around a 2.5 multiple off whatever the 5 day gross is to be the DOM TOTAL. So something like 525 to 575. Even Rise of Gru and Sonic 2 didn't quite have the legs people expected after impressive openings. I do think with this kind of property there will be some frontloading here. 

 

I'm not certain this will mean other video game movies will break out... I think the biggest are obviously Sonic from SEGA, Crash from SONY PS and Mario from NINTENDO. Zelda would be up there too. Also, unlike super hero movies before the boom we'd seen breakouts like Superman '78, Batman '89, Spider-man '02, etc. We've really not seen a video game with a ton of admissions yet until now with Mario. It's kind of like how other dino/kaiju movies can be big but there's only one Jurassic at the box office. I think Mario is that much bigger in terms of wide appeal other than everything else aside from maybe Crash, Sonic, Zelda. I'd say Mario is comfortably bigger than all those properties though. EVERYONE has played a Mario game or multiple Mario games.

 

Literally everyone knows who Mario is and, again, there's never been a Mario movie that tries to emulate the Mario games like this one. With that, as mentioned, I don't think the next ones can go higher as I see this more like Jurassic World, Force Awakens and No Way Home as they each had novelty and depended enormously on nostalgia. Then the movies that followed while very, very big didn't quite match those 3 movies. This is gonna be like that to me.

How about a GTA movie or did Free Guy fill that itch already.
