Some properties are inherently frontloaded, which means good WOM can only do so much. You can not be serious right now. D&D as a property (Which also had a piss poor OW) is NOT a giant Disney family-oriented film that had a 95 million 3-day and a 117 4-day. Come on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Why hasn't the Spiderverse 2 weekend topic been started by a mod yet? We usually have the locked weekend topic up a few days early before the movie opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for the genre, that was a strong OS haul. Similar movies like Lone Survivor, the Michael Bay Benghazi one and that other one that was basically Call of Duty, they probably skewed at least 75-80 percent domestic. While also making way less money overall than American Sniper... It's nearly 3 PM and no number from Disney, but we're so spoiled compared to the old days.

Austin Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Okay, I'm kind of new to the movie circle, and I was curious how people collect movies or how I could get into that. I hear bluray and 4k discs are how some people do it, and then some go even further with Steelbooks. I'm not really sure what makes those special outside of a cool design and metal case, and do those even have 4k discs in them? I also hear people like rip their discs into a hard drive or go to thrift stores and libraries to find cheap discs. Hopefully my question makes sense. Thanks in advance to any who have answers.

I personally prefer physical media but it really depends on what you like. Physical's the easiest though, and I'd say start with what's cheapest. Buy your favorites first and then go from there. Also Steelbooks will have either Blu-Rays or 4ks in them (And sometimes both), they'll say what version they're coming with. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 So what are the expectations for Little Mermaid’s Wednesday number? $7m would be a -38% drop from Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has (as of today) 415 movies - most of them Blu-Rays - in a collection, i can safely say that the economic aspect plays a big role. For clarification, i only refer to physical media collections with this. If you want to have a smaller collection of films, Steelbooks and 4K Blu-Rays can be very nice, but apaprt from the design, they dont offer that much more than a normal Blu-Ray - and on top of that, you need a proper player / sound system to use 4K in its fully glory, which is a luxury that many people probably cant really affort. Thats why i chose to collect normal Blu-Rays mainly (though some older films only exist in DVD format, so theres that). Its much more economically sensible and speaking just for me, a full Blu-Ray shelf looks as nice as one with steelbooks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey is well loved right now, in all the character forms... I'm just sayin...if there was a club, it wouldn't be the most wild one on the boards, even if I wouldn't QUITE be in...yet... Although speaking of clubs, I think the one for Spidey winning summer is still open for the late bandwagon jumpers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an XSX and a 4k monitor and 4k TV so I can watch them that at that quality, but I've done some research recently and some people say the 4k dvds aren't even worth for some movies it because of shitty transfers. I think I will get 4k/steelbook cases for my most favorite movies I know I will rewatch. I've also heard that 4k tends to be better for older movies that were shot on film and not digital because there isn't so much data compressing and upscaling going on. Is there a way to research if specific movies are worth the 4k or just stick to the bluray HD, like a review site or sum?
