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.

Is The Flash now in play for being one of the biggest box office bombs of all time? Starting to feel like it.

 

Does nobody have a grasp of reality anymore

 

Not everything is the BEST or the WORST. Not everything is a BOMB or a HUGE SUCCESS. Why is everything moving to the extremes at an alarming rate?

Asteroid City has to be one of the best limited openings post covid, right? Guardians 3 also held up exceptionally well against Flash

How much do you think the OW would be for a Dark Knight returns movie with Nolan and Bale?

 

Good question. As essentially the fourth part in The Dark Knight saga, I'm sure it would do well.

 

150+ million OW domestic. Clears a billion in total.

It had a colossal budget and marketing campaign, and is looking to bomb completely at the box office. I think it's a fair question for this movie now.

LOL at Spider-Verse and Flash being $100k apart yesterday. Just happy at the recovery of the former.

"the former" never actually was in danger though.

Flash faces pretty much 0 new competition this weekend. If it drops hard, it's one of the most embarrassing flops in recent memory.

Bale is too young yet for a Dark Knight Returns type of film. With that said, I have no idea. And that’s my main issue with Matt Reeves take and why I’m starting to get way more excited for Brave and the Bold over The Batman sequel: if every ten years we make a "Batman: Year One" type of Batman film, how do we even distinguish each other? How do we know if GA will care more about Pattinson’s or Bale’s Batman ten years from now?

 

I give Snyder a lot of shit, BvS isn’t a film I like at all but not trying to make another take similar to Nolan’s was an actual good move. Gunn getting this makes me hopeful for the DCU. Batman’s universe from rogues to his Bat Family is just too vast and far more intriguing to me than we eternally hoping for a return of seasoned Batman, either Bale or Pattinson.

So Spider Verse win upcoming weekend?

[VanillaSkies]

That’s an awful Monday number for Flash is general, but when comparing it to Spidey on its 3rd Monday making almost an equal amount (without the PLFs!), that’s horrific. 

We are going to see atrocious legs for it, especially when it loses its PLFs.

Oh my 

 

 

Not quite apples to apples, but that’s 6% below Lightyear on this same day last year, which led to a $18.2M weekend (2.77x)
 

Also 72% of JWD (second Monday), which had a 3.1x weekend from that daily 

 

Its just a question of not if, but how much below $20 Flash lands for upcoming weekend 

[THUNDER BIRD]

Flash running so fast that you can't see its legs.

Thor dropped 67.7% with basically no competition, keeping PLFs, off a similar IM

But seems like Flash can …

… make a run for -70%

Spielberg back in 2013 called it

Quote

 “That’s the big danger, and there’s eventually going to be an implosion — or a big meltdown. There’s going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen megabudget movies are going to go crashing into the ground, and that’s going to change the paradigm.”

2.3x legs might be optimistic at this point lol

In this case it's obviously a huge bomb and it's not an exaggeration, so not sure what's the problem.

Seems both of these are primarily lease related.  Having a lower volume location in a metro area where rents are high is about the worst possible combination given the current market: fixed cost up, revenue down. That’s why a lot of closures are happening in places like CA, NY, FL, etc 

The landmarks also show the sorts of movies that don’t exactly do big business.

ELEMENTAL made roughly 6M on Monday?

It's guaranteed at this point. The only big new release this coming weekend is part of a genre which has been box office poison for years, it has great word of mouth on its side and its biggest competitor is poised for a brutal drop. I think it will regain the #1 spot for the weekend, which I'm sure our old pal Avi "Kids Love Venom" Arad will be bragging about to his Hollywood friends all weekend.

I think Elemental stand a bigger chance.
