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.

Several comments on that China thread mentioned Hawaii, one of them referend Miller as Hawaii Titan.

So Miller is a Totem Pokemon confirmed 😛

Flash being relatively DOA is only good news for Indy. 
 

There’s a big audience that won’t have been to see an event film for weeks by the time Indy arrives, and they’re potentially going to come out and spend those dollars to see Indy now.  
 

The pieces are in place for it to break out for sure. 

I have seen what happened to Ghostbusters &Resident Evil. I won't have hope on Indy. Audience will likely be moving forward among the trio of MI7-Opp-Barbie.

But I swear a lot of posters on BOT told me that The Last Mermaid was a bomb

Do you think making $30 instead of $20 in Japan has some big impact on profitability?   
 

The DOM legs were good enough that it’ll be fine but still a pretty uninspiring ROI with the gross vs budget.

I think you are not getting the point if you think $30M in Japan for Disney Live Action looks good. Then, I wonder what would you think about Aladdin &Beauty and The Beast Numbers

 

This Numbers aren't good for that category of films. Feels much like an lite version of Cindrella.

I think that the market has changed. This is the new normal. How the studios will adapt, it’s up to them. We don’t really know how much a film is profitable to their parent companies anymore, between merch, streaming, PVOD and everything else. This is likely crossing $500m WW. I see it as an win.

Miguelposting has just peaked, and it won't get any better than this:

 

[M37]

Lost in the Flash debacle is that it still is the fifth consecutive film to open to at least $50M, first time ever (though who would have though it - and not Transformers - would be the only one under $60M 2 months ago ...)

 

I do agree that there is going to be a bit of a starved audience effect post-Flash, and Indy through Barbie may benefit, but in contrast to this recent stretch of diverse audiences, the next couple of major releases - unless you consider Insidious to be "major" - are all expected to skew pretty White. Leaving a certain August opening poised to chow down at the box office

Did the first Meg have a pretty good diverse demo when it came out domestic?

I know it’s very unlikely, but it would be wild if Blue Beetle grosses more than The Flash. I have a thing for underdogs.

Barbie and Dune 2 feel like the only WB movies for the remainder of this year I'm confident won't lose money. Feel like it's only a matter of when the next merger/acquisition is gonna be at this point

[IronJimbo & Sheldon's Son]

Elemental's audience score has been steadily increasing everywhere I look

imdb 7.1 -> 7.3

RT 88% -> 91%

Will Dune 2 make WB lose money? I don’t think so. Will Dune 2 be a box office success is a whole different question. I’m always kinda amazed how one could look at Dune’s box office performance and say "yeah, that was a box office success". It didn’t flop like BR2049. But not by much.

It made 150M more than BR2049 coming out in the middle of the pandemic with a domestic day and date release...?

[IronJimbo & Sheldon's Son]

Also I know it's tracking fairly well for its wide release next weekend but I don't think Asteroid City is gonna breakout with the GA based on these reviews. I know there's not been many reviews but the overwhelming impression I'm getting is that it's boring despite the star-studded cast.
