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.

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.

No, friend, they’re all saving their money for Barbie.

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.

Couldn't agree more, I love most of these old timey adventures. I just don't think anyone will even try anymore unless it's a Pirates sequel or another Mummy reboot. Even Jungle Cruise only happened because of Rock's huge success with Jumanji.

Yeah. Seems like best we can hope for is a Jungle Cruise sequel that I doubt will happen. Hoping we just gotta have a good one or really good to remind audiences how fun they can be... Who would've thought Pirates could break out like it did?

Don't see why Indy would break out with such tepid reviews. Feels like it's only gonna help set up MI 7 even more to be the big breakout in a long drought

Isn't that basically what WB and DC did in the west too, what with Tom Cruise praising the movie and all the free screenings they gave out to social media influencers?

 

Cruise is charging them in Barbie premium screens

Well Gore Verbinski is about to be released from director jail any day now.

Everyone loves a good trainwreck. And i thought Lord of the Rings Gollum would be the biggest trainwreck this summer. Oh...i'm sorry i mean Lord of the Ring: Gollum.

Deadline…

 

“There are a lot of lessons to be learned this weekend. But chief among them is what it’s like for a major motion picture studio to open a movie with largely a number of its cast, primarily its main star, not available to do press.”

 

So you’re telling me the main reason Flash has underperformed is because Miller didn’t go on Jimmy Kimmel?

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

If there is anything that Deadline loves to do it is to cope and seeth of a major hollywood movie underperforming.

No one knows about Ezra Miller and all is good in Flash land though.
