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.

Also, did there used to be many more users on BOT because there is no world I can see a weekend thread reaching 1000 pages from the time I've spent on here since April?

The good ol days of BOT. Every weekend thread almost always reached thousands of posts. Even for a boring opening one. But everything changed since the pandemic…

We practically live at that mall and the entire lobby was visibly full at 8 pm.

 

Clearly this means a huge day is in store 😲

I can't tell if you are intentionally trolling or not anymore.

It's insane that we have footage of the second this franchise imploded.

 

It's a shame that his superhero movies are so boring, dull, and slow. 

Because he has some of the greatest trailers of all time. He was also pretty great at action directing and incorporating special effects into his films.

Is there any way The Flash can be salvageable post theatrical run, or is that asking too much?

 

I can't see anything that it could do to be generate revenues post release.

 

It's not going to drive streaming subscribers. It seem like the people who like it are the already die hard DC fans.

 

PVOD revenues won't be anything special. The fact that kids did not give this favorable reviews means toy sales are not likely to be a factor.

Pixar must be happy to have the Flash self-destruct as it is taking away attention to the fact that Elemental isn't doing so hot either.

Damn. Going back through the old, monster weekend threads is a trip down memory lane. I don't know if anything can ever top the hype on this forum from the start of Endgame presales (anyone remember Gavin's chart in the China thread, or Deep Wang's gifs?) through the Monday after OW. Best box office period ever.....

I think we can all agree that Jurassic World had the best weekend thread of all time. Those numbers going up and up and up throughout the day/evening Friday was legendary. 

 

June 12, 2015. No day on BOT has topped it since.

Watched The Flash earlier today and it serves as a perfectly fine mindless summer action flick. Keaton was easily the best part although Miller's performance was mostly solid. I don't have any gripes about the story or effects like others do. Sure, it's nowhere as great as Gunn hyped it up to be; but it is a solid B+ superhero flick.

 

My only major complaint with the film is the bizarre personality change Miller's primary character undergoes. Without risking spoilers, just compare Miller's Allen in the first 20 minutes and the final few minutes before the credits against Miller's Allen during the central bulk of the movie. He was one type to start off then he inexplicably changed personality types for the bulk of the movie before seemingly reverting back to his original personality type at the end. Not sure if it was the acting, writing or directing here but it was very weird.

 

Still, it's not the worst thing I have seen so far this summer and it's certainly not deserving of the hate being thrown at it.

Review bombing doesn't affect Box Office no matter how hard Braindeadline try to convince people. Captain Marvel making a billion should have ended this argument.

The day Endgame broke the internet....

Han Solo Memorial is my favorite weekend thread ever, it got even better as the China numbers came in.

How long does excel1 usually ghost when something like this happens?  

 

Roughly 0 minutes. I am a big boy who has been through this before, and would also like to note that Aquabro will be a giant hit it is any good.

Both will lose like a $100M+ but we might have the king of flops in the next couple of weeks with Indiana Jones 5 if that $60M projection turns out to be true.

If excel1 says it the opposite shall happen, as the good book says 

[DAJK]

I see that this weekend was so irrelevant that Mojo didn't even bother adding Thursday previews twice to its Friday numbers again 

[Unfitclock]

How is elemental holding up today?
