Father’s Day/Juneteenth Weekend Thread | Flash implodes with 55M, Elemental bombs with 29M, holdovers hold atrociously | Theaters are dead, streaming is dead. Everything is dead really.

Think we’ll get something like Matrix/Spider-Man in which Spider-Man got the PLFs but Matrix kept IMAX with Dune and The Marvels as I’m pretty sure Denis has a Nolan like deal with them.

It'll probably be similar to what's happening with Mission: Impossible and Oppenheimer where they might move the date up (even if just a little to like that Wednesday) for more time before every IMAX/PLF will have to give The Marvels their screens (cause money talks). Luckily they can always bring it back to those screens in early December which remains completely empty at the moment.

Over-estimating the appeal of those MCU movies imo.

I assume you mean Cap 4 and Thunderbolts. I think you’re underestimating the strength of the MCU. One will have the summer and the other the winter holidays. We’ve had 6 straight MCU films over $100M and the 3 that missed before that had extenuating circumstances related to COVID and being brand new characters.

Oh this includes Monday fan screenings. Yikes

NOTE: Just my personal thoughts right now. Might have missed some films with all the date shuffling.

 

2025 stacked with Batman, Superman and Spider-Man. Any superhero fatigue would be put on hold when those films come out.

IDK there's pretty clearly still fatigue with the genre, especially with ones that are mediocre which I think is widely expected of Brave New World and Thunderbolts. Brave New World being from the Falcon and Winter Soldier guys (one of the worst MCU shows) and Thunderbolts just not sounding very interesting, I don't see the hype being there anymore.

Only $200k higher than Eternals. Fewer admissions too with an earlier start time. To say WB is not pleased with these results is probably a massive understatement. Idk why I chose Eternals as a comparison but that's what instantly came to mind.

The more time goes by, more I feel like Eternals was wronged. Need to rewatch it again.

honestly blue beetle is my latest trailer enemy it's one i keep seeing and i'm sick of it. i know i'm gonna keep seeing it for all the big movies the next two months. even if i see asteroid city next week they'll probably put it in front of that too.

Me too. Yet I can't get Dune Part 2 to save my life even in IMAX and Dolby... 

 

Who decides the trailers cache and how do I get that job lol?

I feel like KFP as an IP has built up a lot of love since the last one came out. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised with 70M but also not surprised with 110M.
 

Mufasa doesn’t worry me. I know the 2019 version isn’t beloved but it’s still the Lion King, it’s still the summer, and Mufasa is the most popular character. JEJ will not be denied.

 

Thunderbolts I think they’ll make it a big enough crossover + holidays to get it done.

Like Dune has its own IMAX page and trailer, The Marvels doesn’t. I don’t think it’s getting IMAX, PLFs sure but not IMAX.

Wise of Disney to schedule the latest Pixar flop behind another DC flop. Counter programing at its finest.
