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.

That is a really healthy preview number for Elemental given what it was looking like from trackers. I’m feeling a 13-14x IM and $45-50M for the weekend.

 

That might be a little bit high, but of course good numbers are always welcome. I'm thinking 38M.

It's kind of insane how after all this that at this point, 70 million would be a slight win. Wild to think there was times where this was considered a 100+ million opener.

 

It even went as high as 140M. 😭

the insane wom Elemental had in Korea made me check, and it seems like one of the writers is Asian and so is the va for the fire girl, is Elemental a movie with Asian sensibilities (dont know how else to phrase it); maybe Asia could help save it from being that big of a flo

if that's the case them I'm not sure why they didn't try to at least hint at it in the marketing

 

The director is Korean.

There was that fake tracking reported like a week or 2 before real tracking from pre sales that spread on social media saying it was tracking to open to 110-140.

That wasn't fake, 115-140 was the real BOP range

I remember box office pro having a similar range.

BTTF is more relevant then most 80s stuff, You see it memed a lot more then shit like Ghostbusters.

Before sales predictions have to go a lot off either:

Internet metrics

Or

Polling  

 

With a dash of franchise history/analogy to similar movies.   

 

Given that the initial ranges for DC in the 2020s have ranged from "too high" to "extremely too high" I'm guessing that it's been drawing too much from social stuff where DC overindexes and 2010s performances which were from before the brand was as dead.  

 

The one recent DC where the initial range was very good was BA which seems to have leveraged the star and lack of 2010s era characters to play more GA

I mean the vibes from the trailer are overwhelmingly "white guy married into an Asian family and decided to make it into a Pixar movie".

Barbie gonna triumph over corpses. 

[Darth Lehnsherr]

All those early reactions calling it one of the greatest superhero films of all time

 

 

[Mulder]

It's still early so we'll see it where it settles, it might climb like Rise of The Beasts did, but the Verified Audience score is only 88% after the Thursday night fan-filled previews Flash-wise...

I thought it was a movie about Asian immigrants learning to be less racist.

I am here for some trash filthy below Black Adam numbers. Do not disappoint me, Flash.

That's hate speech, and I'll be reporting you to the mods immediately.

[Madhuvan]

So I have been inactive for while and idk if I should say this or not

 

But I am actually glad Flash is being not received well. 

Hollywood tried it level best to save another man just like they always do , calling it best superhero movie of all time and what not. 

 

I am glad it's not working this time.
