Think we can officially rule out the video game effect forever now lol

 Obviously, GOTG3 would have made over 28m on Saturday if not for Zelda.

GOTG vol. 3 is more proof that if the movies are good people will show up.  The opening weekend was a bit muted by their standards but WOM has now kicked in.  And that's how it should be.  Obviously there were people who were interested but didn't want to get burned again by another bad movie.  Personally,  I never doubted James Gunn.

Do kids today even know who Garfield is?

The kids love Garfield — they went crazy in my audience when he saved Zendaya

*if movie based on a very popular IP is good, people will show up.

What do we think is a good target for today based on 25.75 Saturday? As long as it's at least 18.5 I think we're good.

Yeah. Good movies without a popular brand could have a hard time in the box office (D&D).

I'm hoping a little higher than that to more safely secure 60M+ when the actuals come in tomorrow.

Guardians of the Galaxy. Vol 3 was fantastic, so glad it is holding up great, my favorite MCU movie since Endgame. I think this movie could have made a billion a year ago, now if it makes +$800m WW I'd be happy considering I thought it was going to barely make $600m a week before it opened. I think it it pretty clear that Marvel must focus on quality over quantity, and I say this as an absolute fan of the brand. Two or three movies max and two disney+ shows a year is more than enough. I actually have high hopes for The Marvels, must be the only one in the internet who is excited for that movie.

Just remember the most important thing — we’ve gotta beat 61.75 so my Monday post looks smarter

You have company. And I think it will do well, too.

I'm with you and I too expect it to do well also. If WOM is in "A-/A" CS range I think it can do 750+
