If the exchange rate has gotten so dismal now that 27b is 200, that’s not on me. In that case, Demon Slayer wouldn’t have even hit 300 in USD now. It would still be one of like 6 movies to hit that 20b mark, a very elite club. I think trying to say that the very leggy Japanese box office market can’t get a movie to 2x its two week total seems pretty bold, but we’ll see. 

2x its (hugely holiday boosted) 2week total is 13b. which I think is a good goal with a plausibility of 15b on great holds and toho giveaways.

 

20b on the other hand will be 2x its 5-week total. which is definitely not happening now. it has fallen way off pace for that and does not have a single holiday for the next 2 months. the weekends are good but the weekdays are not.

Then where are those 10bY reports of its current gross in the Japan thread coming from?

Deadpool 3. Ryan won't let them mess up and everyone's hyped to see Hugh. Deadpool 3 is going to be massive.

While where making confessions about bad predictions I joined the 'scream 6 2nd weekend over shazzam OW' club but 1) I'm a scream fan and 2 shaazam was looking worse then it even turned out to be

They didn’t respect Book Club at all

If y'all notice that Mario's drop this weekend is 0.0001% better than expected, you can thank me. I'm about to see it for the first time. 

[DAJK]

Just finished Guardians for a third time. Movie grows on me each viewing. Go see it, it’s one of Marvel’s best! Deserves the great holds it’s getting. Really hope it makes it to 350 DOM and 900WW, even though I know that’s a tall order.

I don't think GOTG Vol. 3 and the excellent hold this weekend say anything about the future of the MCU.  This was very much a film carved out from a different phase in Marvel where the films were more isolated and did their own thing.  

 

This was a throwback feature and James Gunn is now gone.

I think "best mcu movie since Endgame" positions phase 5 to be much better than phase 4.

 

If Marvel can build momentum from there and maintain it they're in really good shape by phase 6.

What happened here? I definitely felt the marketing muscle wasn't fully behind the movie (or any of the former HBO Max movies that were bumped to 2023 theatrical), not even close to movies like Scream or Smile. But it ended up outgrossing the 2013 Evil Dead with relative ease especially overseas, where it also passed both Screams last week. Did it just pick up at the last minute? 

 

• Closer on the horizon, Evil Dead Rise has come down to earth in updated tracking models, though it’s hard to rule out a last-second pop next week. After one week of pre-sales, it’s becoming clearer that Warner Bros.’ marketing muscle is not investing near as heavily into this franchise horror revival as TriStar Pictures did with 2013’s revamp, which opened to $25.8 million at the time.

Well, Knights of the Zodiac franchise is a pretty popular franchise outside United States. So, this isn't result isn't so weird.

 

That said, the movie isn't really popular between the fans of the franchise.
