This seems to be about as bad as it gets.

 

What was the pitch that got this to be made, does anyone know? Just seems an odd film to have ever been greenlit.

 

I assumed the first time I saw the trailer that they were leaning heavily into the preacher element and that this would be pitched heavily at the Christian market but it seems that's not happened at all.

100M for D&D still possible? 😭

That’s absolutely dreadful lol

 

There’s been some horrendous performances for wide releases this month: Beau is Afraid, Chevalier, Nefarious, Sweetwater, George Foreman, Mafia Mamma, Paint.

 

Looks like it’ll continue on into May too with Love Again, Hypnotic, Rally Road Racers etc

Terrific news and well-deserved.

 

Obviously none of this makes a huge move for now or prevents the movie being a relative flop in theatres, but continues to indicate that late WOM is excellent and this will play very well for years to come. Slowly changing the perspective has to be the real target with this property and franchise since that is arguably the biggest issue here outside of timing. And changing the perspective will take a while.

 

Still don't think it would make 100m DOM but given that on the second weekend when it got completely Mario'd it looked like it might not get to 80m the last couple of weeks have felt like nice small wins.

SUNDAY AM Writethru: After Saturday post, refresh for updates and chart Two holdovers, Super Mario Bros Movie and Evil Dead Rise, are continuing to have a gravitational pull on the under-25 set, while frosh wide releases once again this spring are seeing single digit million results.

 

Illumination/Nintendo/Universal’s Super Mario Bros at $40M continues to break records, with the best fourth weekend ever for an animated movie, beating Incredibles 2‘s $28.4M. It’s also the best fourth frame for a Universal title, easily beating Jurassic World‘s $29.2M; it’s even ahead of Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s fourth weekend which did $32.1M. Domestic running cume by today rises to $490M. As Nancy reported yesterday, the pic is at $1 billion.

Yeah, but it might be really close. Depends largely on how well it holds (dependent on how much volume it retains) next week with GOTG3 opening 

[Issac Newton]

1) Super Mario Bros Movie (Ill/Uni) 4,204 (-146) theaters, Fri $8.9M (-37%) Sat $18.2M Sun $12.8M 3-day $40M (-33%), Total $490M/Wk 4

[Brainbug]

Now, New Line’s Evil Dead Rise — the young-ins love this movie so much, it’s only easing 50% to $12.5M. (Smile, by the way, had an amazing second weekend hold of -18%. But -45% for a horror movie is also something to brag about). That second weekend decline is better than that of the 2013 Fede Alvarez remake, which was -63%. By EOD Sunday, this latest version of the Sam Raimi franchise will be pacing ahead of the Alvarez edition by 9.8% with $44.7M.

7.) Air (AMZ) 2,402 (-421) theaters Fri $1M (-32%) Sat $1.8M Sun $1.18M 3-day $4M (-27%), Total $47.6M/Wk 4

8.) Ponniyin Selvan: Part Two (FDN) 600 theaters, Fri $1.78M Sat $1.25M Sun $783K 3-day $3.8M/Wk 1
