Weekday numbers July 10-13

[ThomasNicole]

For someone who keeps saying is a huge admirer of Cruise is such a flex how Maggie is ALWAYS roasting literally every thing Tom Cruise does lol 

 

I would hate to have an admirer that hates me better than my actual haters, but i have to admit the posts are a fun reading sometimes 

[MightyDargon]

So the actual previews were 9.5 mil? Don't you think you panicked a bit there?

Lmao. What I’m saying is that what is the appeal of an Ant-Man 3 film in Feb? What are the successful superhero films and arguably in general released in Feb? That’s Black Panther and Deadpool. Let’s say that the film was amazing - I still think you don’t get much better than what we got here, I’d argue that Ant-Man 3 is actually the best Ant-Man film ever done, but that isn’t saying much, since all the other two films are also low tier MCU - do you really think that would have done much better? What is the hook here? 

 

This is the list of OWs for February:

Quantumania is third, and still fell from a cliff. My understanding here is that Quantumania didn’t have a hook. It’s fine, in the sense of all other Ant-Man films being fine at best. Not really a good hook, and I’d argue that it was also too safe. If there is a character that should have died to set up Kang properly, that was Scott Lang. But it was what it was.

Barbie is fresher than a 7th movie in a franchise. If they make seven Barbie movies i'll call them out too

 

Just wait for the avalanche of Mattel bullshit movies in the next 5 years.

What's the appeal of a Ant-Man 3 in any month

Does the Early Access really add that much to the preview number? You talking about 3 days worth of previews now not just one. So I don't really think it makes it that great or that horrible it just is what it is.

[ThomasNicole]

Ok so it’s 9.5M total actually and 7M true TUE and that’s not only very good but slighly better than what tracking thread was expecting (which would be 8-9M) 

 

Good sign for walkups and yeah 90-100M 5 day very much alive 

 

Not all the doom and gloom for this lol

Welp... There's at least gonna be a Part Two for DR. Then, honestly, probably another one after that. This "tiring" part of his career is the only thing he's interested in and I don't see that ending even if DR somewhat underperforms. Far too earlier to call anything either way.

Wow Maggie is reacting exactly how I thought she would react based on numbers that may not even be confirmed yet.

That’s my point, kinda.

[John Marston]

Wait the early access is NOT included? That might change things 

[baumer]

So it looks like a lot of films were flat on Tuesday and I'm wondering if that is simply because mission Impossible had previews last night. Or was there something going on on Monday that increase the numbers so much? It's not often films decrease or stay flat on a Tuesday.

[LegionWrex]

Lots of doom and gloom here, which is standard it seems. Disappointing numbers considering what the initial tracking tread was leaning towards, but I still think this legs out. These films have always been backloaded. Doubt it will reach Fallout numbers simply due to the competition but I'm thinking it's closer to Rogue Nation (which missed $200M domestic, by the way).

AntMan 3 actually had a high launch and presales and got a lot of hype off the Kang thing. It tanked because it was poorly received, not because Feb. was an inherently bad slot for it.

But now you're talking about 3 days worth of previews instead of just one. So youre at 9.5 million instead of 7.

[Flopped]

7M pure Tuesday is good. Long movie, old audience that probably didn't even know it was out, lots of playing days ahead.

There's an extra 2.5 million dollars that the film made over Sunday and Monday. This is quoted in both Guru and deadline articles

[ThomasNicole]
