I wonder when Iger is gonna to release it on Disney Plus.

 

I think they're changing their release window starting with this.

It's probably better to wait until after GotG3 OW.

I think this summer is a "wild card summer" where nothing is a lock for 300m but several movies have break out potential.

 

And the thing there's typically at least one of two break outs so it should be quite the roller coaster.

 

I think it's going to be between The Flash and Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part I for the crown. Almost by default.

If so, they need to. The “wait for Disney+” incentive became too strong and helped - along with weaker WOM - to cut down on legs after first 2-3 weeks

 

Want to see AMWQ before Guardians? They you gotta pay for it, and not as part of a subscription that already offers non-theatrical content regularly

Pope's Exorcist cost only $18M so looks like it'll (barely) turn a profit for Sony in the end.

Half of these already had reboots in the last 10 years

 

 

 

Please leave poltergeist and robocop alone

[CoolioD1]

The Pope's Poltergeist.

[MovieMan89]

90 will be tough, but I have faith with that Friday. Either way, this movie clearly is having the fantastic legs you would expect for great WOM and for animation. Once again, no way I can see it missing 600. 90+ would still leave 700 on the table.

Wish and Elio are the rebound. Assuming both KFP4 and Trolls 3 move and long windows to force families out.
 

Thinking 45/70/200/550 for Wish and 65/250/600 for Elio.

 

But since Disney has put together a string of subpar opens, why would the other animateds move?  Many have done better in the 2020s, at least by value...

 

I don't see Trolls 3 moving...it, as a series movies, has nothing to gain by letting its product "go stale" by lengthening the time from its sequel...and I doubt it cost much to make...

B- CinemaScore

I'm really hoping for a number that starts with a 4 for Mario today 🙏  unlikely but not impossible.

[upriser7]

looks like this might be a bit of a disappointing weekend...it's really disheartening to see poor holds from D&D.

Same, and I think it can do it. 40-41 imo.

I'll probably be disheartened after seeing it Tuesday, but it's like Shazam 2 - it also deserved better, and didn't get it.  And that happens more and more post-Covid...

 

Both movies never offered the GA a cheaper way to see it (ala TMobile, which did pump the movies that didn't "lose" March), and both probably had a lot of fence sitters who would have seen it cheaper, but not for $15-$20 each, when they already had Mario planned...

JW4 and Air will fight for #2 slot this weekend; with regard to Holdovers.

 

New Openers have the Thurs night previews to help.
