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.

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

imdb 7.1 -> 7.3

RT 88% -> 91%

reddit 6.65 -> 7.33

 

Hopefully a sign that the legs won't be abysmal.

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.

Dune came out day-and-date during the pandemic and still made 2.5x its budget. I don't see why the sequel would even see a drop.

I mean, it came out on HBO Max at the same time and still did rather decent. A lot better then say, Gunn's TSS. The first one seemed to generate a lot of goodwill and both leads are even bigger stars now.

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

Like I said, it isn’t a flop like BR2049. While it made more than BR2049, I’m pretty damn sure that it cost a lot more than that one. It’s a good sci fi film sure, I watched at home when it was released. But I’m not sure about this blowing up at the box office. It could, but I’m not convinced that it will. Running time certainly won’t help it either.

My point is that I’m not sure how much of this will reflect on its sequel. Not that it wasn’t well received. I didn’t watch it on theaters the first one, but I enjoyed. Not blown away by it, but I liked.

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

You know what: not nearly what I remembered, especially given how monster movies usually bring in a diverse crowd. But would argue that may have been an brand awareness problem, but as a sequel that should no longer be an issue

 

Exit polls to date from Screen Engine/ComScore’s PostTrak show 30% males over 25, 26% females over 25, 22% females under 25, and 21% males under 25. Overall score is three stars, with the ethnic breakdown being 53% Caucasian, 18% Hispanic (a number of Latinx markets are over-indexing, including San Antonio and Corpus Cristi), 13% African American, and 10% Asian.

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.

Keep an eye on the clubs forum in the next couple of days...

I like how Pixar films are now such a non-event that @Eric Prime didn’t even bother to include Elemental in the thread title.

That’s where you’re wrong. Elemental is about elements mixing. Nuclear bombs have mixed elements in them. Nuclear bombs will cause World War III one day. Stay woke

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

 

 

A 250 million dollar movie that struggles to make 500 is a bomb

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.

I cannot remember the last Wes Anderson film I did not find slow and boring. They’re exactly the kind of quirky stories I usually like, but his style just isn’t for me

Fewer than 50 ratings. Not worth looking into yet.

At this rate, we’re gonna have Mission: Impossible 22, where Ethan Hunt’s craziest stunt is walking without a cane in the nursing home.
