Weekday numbers July 10-13

[The Dark Alfred]

BOT haters: this is doom and gloom, box office is dead, stupid Part 1, people tired of the franchise, 200m is dead etc.

 

Reality: franchise best preview numbers.

 

Excellent start.

Not exactly. I was going to link to a tweet a friend of mine sent me but they privated their account it said something like "Barbie is infinitely more fascist that Oppenheimer" and "Barbie promotes an American neoliberal fantasy that can only be realised for a select few through exploitation of the global south, further all this merchandising is destroying the fucking planet."

Jesus Christ, is your friend a chat AI instructed to imitate a liberal arts freshman hoping to fuck the feminist French exchange student that blows cigarette smoke in his face whenever she's around?

Solid numbers all around.

MI probably had to reach at least 90m to keep 200m alive. Especially with the m massive competition next week. I’d say under Fallout is disappointing and over/under 200m shouldn’t have even been a question  

Why would it need to reach those numbers to keep 200 million alive when both of the last two entries had 3x multipliers? We know how this franchise works. It just did 9.5 million on Tuesday when Fallout did 6m on a Thursday. It should be fine to do Fallout numbers. Also, under Fallout slightly would not be disappointing. Fallout was peak franchise, a borderline de facto finale, and had an epic trailer with a big name villain. The previous two had iconic trailer stunts. This didn't really have either. Plus it's a Part One! Outside of Maverick factor this had the least going for it since MI3. It's just another entry, and it's doing great for that.

Pretty good launch. Given the older demo and long runtime I imagine the multiplier will be strong the 5-day.

That's because normal people don't think about Barbie in those terms the way extremely online twitter/former tumblr users do.

 

Those complaints and concerns were around decades before twitter/tumbler.   

 

Barbie was originally modeled and based after a German novelty doll called Bild Lilli. Mainly purchased by men, the doll's accompanying comic strip featured a sexually explicit Lilli and a variety of lewd phrases meant to satisfy men

Watch this outgross all other MI films domestically and people still call it a disappointment for not meeting the mini-Maverick goalposts.

Kudos to The Flash for outlegging Shazam 2; 1.92 vs 1.91

could have been $10M without Tues discounts

Honestly, because the majority of those who went and got a Tuesday discount were going to already be going to the movie for previews.

So what's going on with Tuesday numbers this week? We normally see a bump for everything. Is it just because of MI?

[Hildagarde25]

Good for Spiderverse and ouch for The Flash (how much longer can it stay in theaters?). Curious to see Elemental's numbers.

WOM seems excellent across the board. A Cinemascore incoming, calling it now.

Yes, MI is taking screens/theaters away from other films. 

[Austin]

Should we expect an A cinemascore most likely?

It's at least $2M or above, we know that. No final numbers for it yet though. The fact it's still over $2M is really impressive, the little movie that could.

Seems likely, WOM is very strong.

Rogue Nation did not have a lot going for it other than coming off Ghost Protocol , and the huge gap between installments, always has stalled momentum
